I took one for the team and listened to this guy on a new tape for 52 minutes. Another Gruber video. This guy did travel the Country, speaking about the Obamacare-sham and DID REPEATEDLY to many groups, that O'care was: complicated, political, that the STATES IF NO EXCHANGES are set up their citizens will pay the "tax" but NO tax credits, and blah blah blah, and some INTERESTING NUGGETS.

Outed as a congenital liar, Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber said that "lack of transparency" was a major part of getting Obamacare passed because “the stupidity of the American voter” would have killed the law if more people knew what was in it. Gruber, the MIT professor who served as a technical consultant to the Obama administration during Obamacare’s design, also made clear during a panel quietly captured on video that the individual mandate, which was only upheld by the Supreme Court because it was a tax, was not actually a tax. “This bill was written in a tortured way to...

Comprehensive immigration reform: 1. Secure our borders and provide verifiable metrics 2. End the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment 3. Make eVerify mandatory and enforce it with large fines 4. Reduce legal immigration quotas and end chain migration 5. Deport illegals upon contact with any law enforcement agency 6. No local, state or federal government benefits of any kind 7. Any health and/or other care billed back to the home country 8. Lifetime ban on path to citizenship for anyone who entered illegally 9. Make illegal entry a felony with a mandatory prison sentence

Salon.com has hit a new low. Sunday’s article, titled, “You don’t protect my freedom: Our childish insistence on calling soldiers heroes deadens real democracy” argues that patriotic celebration and respect of our military is a “childish trait” and “forced troop worship and compulsory patriotism must end”.

The Cranberries prior posting about the gal singer who assaulted the flight attendant and cop was the last stupid straw about posting about guilt based on looks. (Note I am not a big Cranberries fan, I have no dog in this particular hunt - it's just an example.) I am not against posts that discuss a person's looks per se. Particularly if it factors into the issue being discussed. If it's relevant, it's relevant. What I am objecting to are the stupid inane posts that add nothing of value to the thread and detract from the reputation of this site...

Why Does HSLDA Oppose the Treaty? Promoting equal rights and protections for disabled persons around the world sounds like a great idea. But let’s take a closer look at what the treaty actually says and how it would impact the United States. Here are some of our most serious concerns. The CRPD could threaten homeschooling rights and parental rights. It would surrender parents and caregivers’ decision-making ability on behalf of their disabled children to unelected and unaccountable UN bureaucrats. The CRPD would override existing state laws, seriously damaging states’ rights. The CRPD would surrender our nation’s sovereignty to unelected bureaucrats.

The Republicans did not have a national campaign except to send back Obama's words to haunt him. It was a nationally silent campaign and whoever came up with it was a genius. As long as the Republican spoke out about any national issue, the Lamestream Media would speak out against it. Whether it was abortion, healthcare, racial bating; it did not matter, the media would take the side of the Democratic party. By avoiding speaking on these issues and focusing like a laser on Obama's misstatements and obvious mistakes (Ebola and ISIL), they avoided the Democrats and the Lamestream Media's...

Freeper help needed. My daughter is a Freshman in a Catholic High School. World History teacher is obviously a Democrat by her statements in class promoting Obamacare, and the fact that the economy has 'greatly improved' under this administration.

For those who haven't heard, today Ben Carson announced that he's officially running for president. I was over at DU, and happened to see their thread on the subject. I was so appalled, I just had to post a link to it here. So here's what Carson will be up against from the left if he should happen to win the primary (personally, though, I'm a Ted Cruz guy). Ben Carson, the latest Republican black toy I find it really interesting that the left is actually questioning Carson's obvious intelligence. As far as I can tell, virtually all conservative black...

This is an excerpt of an excerpt on Drudge from GWB's book. In a chapter titled "DIPLOMACY," the son recounts an anecdote about Watergate: "The final straw came on August 5, 1974. The Supreme Court had ruled that the White House must turn over all the tapes to Leon Jaworski, the new Watergate special prosecutor and a friend of Dad’s from Houston. The tapes revealed that Nixon had spoken to one of his aides about thwarting the FBI’s investigation into the Watergate break-in. That was proof that he knew about the cover-up and that he had lied to the country....

Without massive black turnout I don't see Democrats having a chance. Hillary can't motivate the base. Is Cory Booker the 2016 Obama? Black U.S. Senator with virtually no experience that'll pass up the Billary machine?

As an accompanying piece to my Midterm analysis located here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3223860/posts I wanted to maybe give some positive news to those real conservatives who, while happy the Dems have been kicked to the curb, are annoyed that the establishment seems to have 'won the day'. Yes, the establishment robbed us of many high profile primary races, with Mike Simpson hanging on in Idaho as the most liberal Republican of that delegation, Boehner stooge James Lankford winning the senate nod from Oklahoma, and of course the despicable ruination of Chris McDaniel in Mississippi to save the dribbling Cochran. But in the...

Mrs. Mosby and I were traveling through SC Southbound I-95 on 3 Nov, and encountered a huge VanHool brand new white charter tour bus- unmarked. It pulled into the Flying J truckstop in Florence,SC and disgorged about a 100 hispanics (from business experience and listening to them in the store-these were Mexican indios, and all were males). They all went into the store, purchased snacks, then got back aboard and it left, having fueled at the diesel truck pumps. While it was fueling, we went around and took down the GA license plate- tried to locate the driver and make...

Open Letter to Mitch McConnell Congratulations on your win. It is commendable that you were able to keep another liberal Democrat from gaining a foothold in the US Senate. For that, you deserve thanks and credit.  Now, though, after the huge Republican win, it's time for you to recuse yourself from consideration for the Majority Leader position.  Unfortunately you have been too divisive and polarizing over the past year.  Your extreme comments against fellow Republicans make it such that you've spent too much goodwill among the whole Big Tent.  Your comments in fact amount to a conflict of interest in...

I thoroughly enjoyed Election Night 2014. It was the first time I have smiled, albeit wanly, in four long years. I savored every second of it. Watching Nunn and Carter fall in my home state of Georgia, was particularly delightful. I had bad feelings about both those races. I followed the entire night as the ratio of Perdue to Nunn voters -- hovering around 55% to 43% -- refused to budge, no matter how liberal the county that released its results. Then to watch the gratifying or surprising wins: Cotton beat Pryor in Arkansas despite Clinton's best efforts. This gives...

Clearly this was an Anti Obama and Anti-Democrat vote. It certainly was NOT... a pro RINO anti-Tea Party vote. Agree or Disagree and Why?

He can't be serious! Did any of you see him try to defend the rats again on FOX? The others hosts there looked at him as if he had to be joking. GOP picks up at least 10 House Seats, and cleaning house all over the map. And a little while ago Juan denies it's a Republican wave. He should be fired for acting like Debbie Wasserman and Joe Biden!

Check it out.

Where is the main election Live Thread. I count on FR for those...can someone direct me?

The title of leader of the free world has traditionally been held by an American President. But since America does not have a suitable candidate for such a title at the moment, which world leaders qualify to be leaders of the free world? These are possible candidates - Stephen Harper (Canada), Angela Merkel (Germany), Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel), Vladimir Putin (Russia), and David Cameron (Britain). Non-Western leaders can include 1. The new right-wing Hindu Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who passionately opposes Islamic extremism. His party, the BJP, is very pro-Israel. As Chief Minister of Gujarat State, he implemented small...
