Ohaha made DHS Janet Napolitano Announce that his Administration Plans to Give Amnesty to Illegal Aliens She said we need a “...firm but fair way to deal with those who are already here.” The fatal flaw in this is that there is no way of knowing if the alien who would apply for amnesty has been in the United States for ten years or ten days! Let us remember that the great majority of illegal aliens use false and often stolen identities. (This is why identity theft is now the fastest growing white collar crime in the US.) THE...

http://fleming.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=55&sectiontree=29,55 Please read and act, only takes a minute! On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough! Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana ! Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on...

Read: “Some strange ideological impulse—rather than common sense and respect for the rule of law—is driving the Obama administration to give special treatment to the perpetrator of one of the greatest war crimes ever committed against the United States” per CNSNEWS.com’s Terence P. Jeffrey. “. . .ideological impulse. . .” Richard Morris stated the Obama motive being an “ideological” one. What these two men are saying when using the term “ideological” is Muslim. It is the theology of the Koran. It is what Allah would have Obama do.

"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said in the transcript.

Terror trials in New York Do you agree with the administration’s decision to bring five terror suspects to New York and put them on trial in federal court? Yes 29% No 71% Total Votes: 69

Connecticut Senate candidate Rob Simmons just announced on a local radio show some of the 9/11 suspects maybe tried in Connecticut. He didn't elaborate.

The health care, or "Obama care," debate is more than about seniors, and I'm about to become one. It's also about rationing, lengthy waits for care, and sometimes no care at all for ALL age groups. I'm a Hugh Hewitt fan, but he, Dick Morris and others talk almost exclusively about the effect on seniors. That, unfortunately, limits the number of people outraged by the government-run "option." The current mammogram debate is an example of how everyone will be affected. Please call and write that everyone will be affected.

I am "new" to the site. I think this is my first post. However I have been a reader for years and am a libertarian leaning Republican. I had a thought about healthcare reform that is scaring me. Although I don't think it can pass, consequences could be terrifying if it does. For purposes of sharing my nightmare, let’s assume it passes. Let’s also assume that the SCOTUS has the same five conservative members when compulsion to buy health insurance is enacted into law. It would be unprecedented for the government to mandate disposal of wealth in such a way....

It looks that way from the AP photo, but we'll need video to be sure. It looks like he made a little bow at the podium while thanking the South Koreans.U.S. President Barack Obama acknowledges South Korean military officials as he rallies U.S. troops at Osan Air Base in Osan, South Korea, Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)

Obama arrived on the base 3:19 p.m. local time (1 a.m. Eastern Standard Time), and received a rousing welcome from 1,500 troops in camouflage uniforms, many holding cameras or pointing cell phones to snap pictures. "You guys make a pretty good photo op," the president said. Standing on a riser wearing a blue suit and red tie, with a cluster of troops and a large American flag behind him, Obama expressed "the gratitude of the American public" and said his meetings in four countries over eight days in Asia will help deliver a "safer more prosperous world for all of...

Sorry if this is considered to be a "duplicate post", but this is outrageous enough to have its own thread. The AP article at myway.com is titled "Thousands cheer Palin in Mich. for book tour".Essentially the same AP article is hosted at google news with the headline "Hundreds cheer Palin in Mich. for book tour".Screen shots to preserve it in case it gets mysteriously "corrected":

Judy Woodruff did a piece on Sarah Palin and her book. Among the interview participants was National Review Contributing Editor David Frum. Frum said that Palin "got into a position of leadership by sending very powerful sexual signals." It was a highly edited segment and there was no follow up or elaboration. (Segment has not yet been posted online.)

As The Boy has traipsed across the planet recently, he has acted out in body language and spoken word his admiration for Muslims wherever he went. He bent over backwards to befriend the very coalition out to destroy this Republic.

This FOX POLL needs our attention

Seen it all now! Caught a few minutes of Charlie Gibson on ABC News this evening in all his seriousness playing a clip of John Stewart's Comedy Central with Stewart asking Biden about the screw ups at his web site, Recovery.gov. Charlie didn't seem to mind that ABC News was in all seriousness using clips of a COMEDIAN and his show to give Biden's answers to the problems at recovery.gov instead of just getting THEIR OWN DANG INTERVIEW WITH BIDEN!

WASHINGTON – The nation's top Forest Service official says national forests can store more carbon to slow global warming, but he warns that such a goal must be balanced against the risk of catastrophic wildfires. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell told a Senate panel on Wednesday that his agency is trying to manage forests to combat climate change while still easing the risk of wildfires.

Sarah Palin is having a book signing at Borders Books on Sawmill from 6:00 PM to 9:00 AM on Friday, 11-20-09.After reading about the crowds in Michigan and the need for wristbands to get a book signed, I called Borders Books in Columbus on Sawmill - here's the deal:No books signed without a wristband, and proof that the book came from Borders or Waldens.Wristbands become available Friday morning at 10:00 AM.1 wristband is good for 2 people with 1 book each.The lady advised me to come in and buy the books today, because she doesn't think they will have enough....

November 17, 2009 MURTHA CONTINUES TO UNDERMINE TROOPS By William RussellIn recent interviews defending President Obama’s slow decision making on Afghanistan, Congressman John Murtha continues to undermine our troops, embolden our enemies, and place our country in greater danger. He does this by drawing on the wrong lessons from his own experience in Vietnam, and endorsing the enemy’s propaganda.  By continually questioning the request for more troops, Mr. Obama and Mr. Murtha are signaling the possibility that America might withdraw as we did in Vietnam. But unlike Vietnam, we do not have the choice of leaving and withdrawing to our...

What with the Left's obsession with "tea-bagger" references and calling Sarah Palin a "MILF" or "TWILF," perhaps it is time for the DNC to dump the Donkey symbol and go with this symbol. They giggle uncontrollably when someone says something that they consider to be dirty. Beyond swear words and sexual innuendo, their vocabularies are very, very limited. They live in their own little world where they and only they are smart while at the same time worshiping MTV and mindless pop culture. They view everyone who does not live in their little world to be losers and worse. Beavis...

I've been recording and watching the 10 part series on WWII and I must say, it is very good. It's not all shooting and battles, instead, it conveys an incredible human perspective of the war. I'm amazed to learn how at our first two major battles we sort of abandoned our own men to their fate such as the men at Guadalcanal, absolutely facinating and terrifying at the same time. The war is told from the vantage point of 12 people (11 soldiers and 1 female nurse) and is very well done, had me choking back the tears many times....

Liberals have run off with this phrase, prostituting it per usual.. The matter is simple. It's this: America does not want a state church. England has a state church — the Anglican Church. America does not want one denomination considered The Nation's Church. On the other hand, America has a religious heritage. It's not Muslim. It's not Hindu. It's not Shinto. It's not animism. It's not New Age. It's not Paganism. It's not Voodoo. It's Judeo-Christian.

Demand Congress stop withholding taxes now by DefendUSx November 17, 2009 15:48 By: Devvy November 16, 2009 Last week the new unemployment numbers came out: 502,000 new unemployment claims. The usurper camped out in the White House gave a short speech on how to address the continuing hemorrhaging of jobs in this country: He's going to hold a "summit" next month. Isn't that clever of Obama aka Barry Soetoro? Then, he hops on his favorite toy, Air Force One, and jets out of town again to go bow to foreign governments who can collapse our economy in five minutes. What...

Before yesterday I didn't know much about David Frum. I've seen his name here and there on FR, and that's about it. Yesterday he was on the Laura Ingraham show, and I've got to say I don't much care for him. He is suppose to be a conservative, but to me he sounded more like a RINO. What is the deal with this guy?

I'm new to Freerepublic and a conservative and need Freepers help. This week i've been extreemely upset with all the sexist remarks made by republican and conservative critics in regards to Palin. I like Palin because everyone dislike her. I admire her courage to keep up despite all the bashing. She is not the perfect candidate but the election is not right now, it's in 2012 should she decides to run. I don't mind people criticizing her but i detest all the sexist remarks especially from conservative/GOP critics: Judge Napolitano, Brian Kilmeade, Beck (hate her accent), Charles Krauthammer, etc. DNC...

Just a quick update on the current Citizen Reporter project that we started up about three weeks ago: The following cities have representation by one or more people. If your city does not show up, this means that it has no one as a reporter yet. However, if your city does show up, this does not mean that you can not be a citizen reporter for it. We will need numerous people in larger towns, like NYC, Atlanta, Miami, L.A. etc. Here are the following cities where we have a presence: Richmond, VA Tampa, FL Miami, FL Chattanooga, TN Knoxville,...

Two recent stories have defined for me, or rather illustrated under no uncertain terms, what it is that drives and shapes this administration’s political orientation. The first illustration is the recent news that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recently issued a recommendation to America’s health care community that mammograms under the age of 50 are counterproductive and unnecessary, even going so far as to discourage breast self-examination in general, citing a "moderate certainty that the harms outweigh the benefits." To be fair, while this is a government funded study (and the agency is part of the U.S. Department of...

Chemicals in plastics alter the brains of baby boys, making them "more feminine", say US researchers. Males exposed to high doses in the womb went on to be less likely to play with boys' toys like cars or to join in rough and tumble games, they found. The University of Rochester team's latest work adds to concerns about the safety of phthalates, found in vinyl flooring and PVC shower curtains. The findings are reported in the International Journal of Andrology. Plastic furniture Phthalates have the ability to disrupt hormones, and have been banned in toys in the EU for some...

Isn't it great that the libs are confused? They are scrambling to spin the rise of conservatism, the tea parties, American mom's, and anything conservative as an anomaly. Us stupid people just don't get it. They're attacking women, men, boys and girls. Everyone who doesn't adhere to the left or right coast's definition of America are hicks, gun toting, bible thumping people clinging to their guns and religion. America is protesting. We've had enough of the liberal elites. To their peril, the liberals are going to loose big time. God doesn't give us easy challenges, but Americans are finally rising...

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The US news agency the Associated Press (AP) laid off dozens of employees on Tuesday as part of a plan to reduce its global payroll by 10 percent this year, a union statement said. The News Media Guild, which covers some 1,300 AP editorial and technology unit staffers in the United States, said it did not have an exact number of layoffs because management had not yet formally notified it of the move. The Guild said it had been informed by members of more than 38 layoffs affecting Guild-covered managers, reporters, editors, photographers, and editorial assistants. It...

A very brief sneak peek of Sarah Palin's visit to the No Spin Zone. Don't miss Bill O'Reilly's three-part interview on The O'Reilly Factor on Thursday, November 19, Friday, November 20 and Monday, November 23.

Sorry for this vanity but I was sitting here reading through all the postive Sarah Palin threads, her million fan Facebook page, her book tour, the Rassmusen poll having her polling higher than Obama and it hit me. She just might become the president. The very first thing that crossed my mind was the utterly thrilling exiting of watching her give State of the Union addresses. I'm telling you it would be like nothing you have even seen surpassing even Ronald Reagan I think due to folksy, real world charm and character. You know what, I really do feel Hope...

Read it and weep all of you MSM talking heads..

A reknowned spammer just hit FR, he is probably from Senegal, and has been one of those "A rich uncle has to get $10 million out of senegal, if you give me $10k i can split the money with you" scammers. DO NOT give him your email address, he will sell it to dozens of email spambot networks. I hope this was self evident to the FR community, but would rather be seen as a bit pedantic than have FR be the vector for someone to lose their life savings from a African email scam.

I haven't seen a "Help Wanted" post on FR before, but I have one or two projects very valuable to conservative causes (primarily the pro-gun sector) that are in need of computer and website-building skills, and I'm certainly willing to give my Freeper friends a pass first thing. Here's what we need: Wordpress Theme - Need a designer that can build or modify an existing Wordpress theme. Designer should be able to collaborate with me for building a custom website theme to specifications. Theme should work with all standard Wordpress widgets: Text, Categories, Archives etc. Good eye for style and...

We've all seen the photo: But does it tell the whole truth? I'm as anti Obama as anyone but the fact is Obama did have his hand on his heart, just not at the last second of a long musical note. Let me explain: Here is the video. Look at 2:33-2:37 the video clearly shows he does have hand on heart and then the camera pans away. Camera returns at 2:56 and Obama still has hand on heart till 2:59 when camera pans away again. The problem is when do you put your hand back down? As can be clearly...

Was the House vote on ObamaCare based on bribery? Were Congressional votes "bought" with handouts of campaign cash, district money, and/or promises that Democrats would not put up primary candidates against the aye-sayers? Do we continue to believe that Congress is responding to our needs? How much did the medical industry participate in crafting the legislation passed in the House? Cong Pallone (D-N.J) was quoted as saying that the medical industry and knowledgeable citizens were not asked to participate in the bill-drafting process because that is not how business is done in Washington. According to the Washington Post, the top...

To whom it may concern; If I reduce my credit-card balance, American Express will cut my credit limit to a much lower “comfort limit.” If I don’t make a big payment, my card will be suspended. If I DO make the big, unexpected and unannounced payment on demand, my “comfort level” may be capriciously dropped anyway, leaving me both without operating capital and without a reserve. My “utilization rate” is a key factor in determining my credit scores, and the bank has crashed my credit rating. I am a small business owner and as a result of the usurious and...

Do you support Senator DeMint’s call for a Constitutional Amendment to limit terms in the Senate and House? According to South Carolina Republican Senator Jim DeMint, “Americans know real change in Washington will never happen until we end the era of permanent politicians.” To this end, a handful of Republican senators are proposing a Constitutional amendment limiting service in the Senate to 12 years and 6 years in the House… Yes: No:

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Children who don't show normal fear responses to loud, unpleasant sounds at the age of 3 may be more likely to commit crimes as adults, according to a new study. Yu Gao and colleagues in the United States and the United Kingdom compared results from a study of almost 1,800 children born in 1969 and 1970 on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius to criminal records of group members 20 years later. At age 3, the children were tested to gauge their level of "fear conditioning," or fear of consequences. The idea is that children...

Brilliant Like most Americans, I was initially shocked at the decision announced by the Obama administration to prosecute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSD) and other Guantanamo Bay Naval Base detainees in New York under civilian law. I was shocked by the prima facie stupidity of the decision to unnecessarily avail terrorists with the full rights, legal processes and courtroom procedures due an American citizen. I love America, and I want what’s best for her. But, when one hates the traditional American way of life, this decision is a masterstroke. To cripple and ultimately destroy a stronger or entrenched adversary, invest in...
