Free Republic

Ok, time to lighten the mood with a fun list. There are things that real men should know or have. True, the list is a bit biases, but what the heck. Real Men should: Know basic gun safety. And they should even own at least one gun. Know Basic first aid. Know the location of a good florist, a good cigar shop, a gun dealer and a strip club. Knows that when he gets over 40, going to a strip club on a regular basis makes you a dirty old man. Know at least one prayer either Christian or Jewish....

It's obvious by now the body politic is replete with socialists, Communists and fascists who have no regard for the Constitution, the rule of law or the people. Their only goal is the utter destruction of the Constitution and our Democratic Republic. Unfortunately for them we are the majority. It is time we take the next step by putting our heads together and form mass resistance to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution ourselves since the three branches of government are seeking complete domination over our lives. There can be no holding back. The time is now to put our...

In a few years France's Taxes will look comparatively low and their government more free than ours.

I just wanted to give some Kudos to MSNBC for coming out in strong opposition against the attack on soldiers at Ft Hood this past week. There is alot of pressure on them probably to support the attack, but they did the right thing and have for the most part covered the attack as a tragedy. And the Obama administration has largely done the same thing to their credit. We have disagreements politically, but it's good to identify positive things when news outlets like MSNBC stand up and do the right thing.

This is an idea to take back America and the press Set of a web site with news items that are not copy written material but sharable. Have pages on this site that are easily printable with a laser printer Print a copy or copies may be double side (create instructions for this) Bring it to staple print a couple hundred pages(or print them yourself)Hand them out on street corners for free Hand them out on Sunday in front of churchesWake up AMERICA! there are still many people who do not use the Internet and don't watch FOXAlso need things...

HOUSE PASSES HEALTHCARE REFORM - TO DESTROY YOU WILL BE NO LOSS.

It’s a cold, cruel world. Success is a distant dream. Failure is just a breath away. Risk avoidance is code phrase of the day. Don’t step out of line. Best to keep your head down and go unnoticed. Stealth is the way to survival. Don’t travel alone. There is security in numbers. Groups have the power to negotiate, to make alliances. Only by sticking together can you prosper. Individuals are targets. The lions pick off those who stray from the herd. Blend in. You do not know what’s best for you. You can not do it on your own. The...

Thanks all Freepers for keeping an eye on the PelosiCare vote tonight. Before I get in bed, I am going to drop to my knees and pray that when I wake in the morning I find the bill failed to pass. Then, as I retire for the day and re-read Pelosi's Biography "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West". (Lord knows retiring any other way is going to be out of the question with how bad the Dims have destroyed our economy, savings and retirement funds) Good night all!

PLANET 7 - BAN NOW!

Schools and Universities (Columbine, Virginia Tech, Yale/Annie Le), major urban areas, and Military are all essentially gun free zones, and are also the place where these types of mass shootings occur. When will peole wake up to the fact that Gun Free Zones DO NOT WORK and have NEVER WORKED?

Tomorrow when you tea party the capitol phone lines, here is another number you can call.

This past Sunday, I deviated from my usual schedule of going to Noon Mass on Sunday at my parish and decided instead to go to 9 PM Sunday Mass at a local University's chapel. I am familiar with the college chapel's Mass- I've been to it a few times. Sometimes the Mass is recited outside the rubrics of the Novus Ordo liturgy, but the campus ministry program is run by genuinely good people. However, my perception of this college's campus ministry changed last night. During the prayer intentions after the Nicene Creed, the lector asked that we pray for all...

Are there any freepers currently retired in Mexico who could offer advice on how to retire in Mexico at age 52? excerpt from interesting blog: The Horrible Shortness of Life I'm not going to dwell on this because I prefer positive thoughts, but how much more life have you got? Of course no one knows exactly, but let's say you make it through to your early seventies in good health, how far off is that? How many years? How much retirement is that going to give you? When you are working, the weeks fly past, the months and years vanish....

I've been receiving a lot of cute Halloween jokes and wonder if all you FReepers are getting them also.Here are a few that I like: "> "> "> ">

The AP has yet again run a hit piece trying to link any scandal it can to Bush. This chart shows that he was not a bush aide.

News from across the pond shows yet another means via which liberal, anti-family types are pushing to separate children from their parents. The lead paragraph says it all:

would I be better off renewing my max $4000 FSA for 2010 or not, thereby raising my taxible income for 2010? I'm assuming the FSA can/will disappear via Obummercare(should it pass.) I'm thinking the money would best be spent on paying off a credit card?

Obama now fully owns the economy. No matter how bad his economic policies hurt the U.S. economy in the Spring, it was very difficult to quantify how much of the recession was his fault, and how much could be blamed on the Bush-Kennedy-Pelosi administration; the faster the economy sank, the lower the bar would be for him to claim credit for its recovery. Now that the recession is "over," however, he must take full blame for another recession. The depression is not over, however. This Spring, I warned Freepers not to be fooled by a 3rd-quarter "recovery." The economy hasn't...

What drives these fringe crazed people on all sides of the aisle? Is it that feeling that something is just, not quite right? Is it the nagging question of why would someone continue to hide something in order to antagonize those that are trying to hold him accountable for the transparency that he promised? Or are you just tired of Obama getting away with it? A great conspiracy started during the 2008 Election Primary by a Hillary Clinton supporting Liberal lawyer from Philadelphia (Philip Berg) who saw that Obama was about to beat Hillary to the nomination and so he...

As the polls in the N.J. governors race go up and down, the race appears to be inside 5 points either way depending on who you listen to. The incumbent gov, Jon Corzine, is not very popular due to his tax and spend policies, as well as his partys' affiliation with pols engaged in massive corruption. His GOP opponent, Chris Christy, doesn't have the same baggage, (except around the waistline), and I have not seen anything that links him to the kind of nefarious doings that the dims are up to. So, everything else being equal, a pretty close race....

There's a new SCOTUS suit you want and need to know about...case 09-6777. I'll win and when I do? YOU CAN SUE SITTING OFFICERS FOR LIABILITY THUS DISSOLVE THEM AS THE US DEFAULTED VIA FAILING TO RESPOND TO A PRIOR SCOTUS SUIT ON 11/05/08, the day after the election, lol. Actual default is the 2000 election and BVG; legal default occurred on 11/05/09. I then appealed to Roberts directly on 11/20/09 and forced direct action thus I won on paper. Now all I am doing is acting to collect my award: Hearing in person aka winning in person. You can...

On last night's O'Reilly Factor (Oct 27, 2009), Bill O'Reilly sat stupidly while Lis Wiehl made several conspicuously false statements regarding the facts related to Obama's birth documentation. Referring to the "birthers", Ms. Wiehl stated that "It's this whole movement that says that Obama was elected from a bad, unconstitutional point of view because he was not born in the United States. That's been litigated. Congress investigated. His birth document from Hawaii was shown." First, regarding "That's been litigated" this case has never actually been heard in open court (because the plaintiffs have been denied standing). Second, regarding "Congress investigated."...

It would be a boost in the arm for both of them. Not that they need it but they are birds of a feather.

I just got a fund raising email from Hoffman. He mentioned ONE and only ONE person that was supporting him. Here is the line from the email: "Tim Pawlenty did his research and he has endorsed Doug." No mention of Sarah, No mention of Fred or any other real conservative. That really bothered me. Pawlenty isn't very conservative and is a late comer to supporting Hoffman. In fact, he didn't support Hoffman until the tide had turned and he came out with his first lead in a poll. Hoffman could easily have supplied a link to Fred's commercial or Sarah's...

With Halloween only a few days away, discussion of the paranormal is a staple of the creepy holiday each year. Anybody have any interesting anecdotes about their experiences with hauntings, Ouija boards, and ghosts? Even aside from the typical Halloween characters, have you encountered situations that you think were direct interventions from God? Anyone want to share their paranormal stories?

Just donated to Doug Hoffman - even if it's a small amount it adds up. If you want to contribute: https://www.doughoffmanforcongress.com/home.html also linked above I think it's time we start putting our money where our mouth is!

First it was Britain, now apparently Michael Savage is being ever so slowly banned from YouTube. Unbelievably, for the second time in the last week, the most popular YT Channel dedicated to Michael Savage has been suspended without warning. You folks may not like what Savage has to say, but you're obviously smart enough to see what is going on here..and it's a threat to all of us. Who will they come after next? For The Savage fans that want to support Imitator, this video will direct you to his new (third) channel. Thanks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0wmhfOpERQ

It is becoming more obvious that the articles linked by Yahoo! are planted by the government. I don't know if I should keep my tinfoil hat on or take it off while I post this. Millions of Americans think Yahoo! is real news.

Pyramid shape, O at center top, 911 in the middle, H1N1 at bottom. Peculiar headline formatting. The obvious interpretation is that Obama (O) declares a national emergency (911) due to swine flu pandemic (H1N1). But the formatting struck me as very odd - message within the message?

Last week Democrat held a Economic Forum behind closed doors. The Economist came out and held a news conference providing evidence to the discussion, it is linked at the bottom here for the full text. Robert Kuttner "you need to think about reduction of debt relative to the GDP as a 10-year project and in order to get the economy back on track, we may well need, we do need, more deficit spending now and in the next year but with a pre commitment to deficit reduction over 10 years through progressive taxation, one of the things we seem to...

Huckabee cannot win in 2012 for many reasons, but one reason stands out above all others. Huckabee simply cannot appeal to voters outside of his Evangelical base. In a national election he would be a certain loser. Romney also has many reasons he cannot win, but one really stands out. ROMNEYCARE. One of the biggest, if not the biggest weapons the Republicans are going to have in 2012 is going to be the attempt of the democrats to push through OBAMACARE. Republicans will be able to draw a stark contrast between them and the democrats over health care. Unless of...

Registered Independents: did you know in most states the primaries are NOT open. You can't help get a conservative elected because the rinos in the republican party will vote for the liberal candidate. IF you really want to get a conservative in office get yourself re-registered as a Republican for the primary election in 2010 to get this job done. I know your are upset with the rinos that have been elected by the republican party, but we probably can't change the demographics unless you come back. In 2010 let's kick the crap out of RINOs!

I have sent the following e-mail to Nick Goldberg, the Editorial Page Editor for the Los Angeles Times: Nick, A recent op-ed in your paper defending ACORN makes at least two factual misstatements: 1) that ACORN staff offered to help shield an underage prostitution ring at only two offices, and 2) that no voter fraudulently registered to vote by ACORN had ever actually cast a ballot. Furthermore, your paper failed to disclose that the author of the op-ed, Peter Dreier, has been a (presumably paid) consultant for ACORN in the past . . . something that might help explain how...

http://www.tomoveanation.com/2009/10/yep-theres-rep-for-that.html Half of the things this video says are actually GOOD qualities to have in a representative and the rest are taken out of context.

What Do Americans Believe About Creationism and Evolution? After spending time on some of the recent discussions here at FR about Young Earth Creationism (YEC) and other points of view (which I will call Old Earth Creationism (OEC) and Naturalistic Evolution), I found myself wondering: how many FReepers (and how many Americans) hold each particular view? Obviously, there aren't any statistics on FReepers. But there are on Americans as a whole, and on certain groups of Americans. The best general resource I've found so far on people's viewpoints is located here. I will summarize some of those here. (Note: This...

The divide grows deeper every day, both sides seething with contempt and even hatred for the other side. No good can come from this. In my more benevolent moods, I sometimes find myself seeking a more radical approach to coping with the next 3+ years. I offer these suggestions, which I myself have decided to try: Pray for Obama. Pray--not only that he will not carry out his socialist agenda, but that he will do the right thing. Pray that he will not only do the right thing, but that he will be an extraordinarily good president. Pray that he...

Sacrificial Health Care Lambs The health care con, perpetrated by the White House, is well under way. The intent is to keep all attention on every morsel of “news” as it is allowed to leak. The very fact that Americans, by a vast majority, have made their opinions known, yet the incessant push for health care reform continues. It is designed to keep the White House in something of a superior posture to the little people, the voters, who are at the mercy of our all-knowing, omni-present Ruler. Since he has no integrity or moral standing to fall back on,...

If you haven't seen the comics page today, please check it out. It seems that our Dear Leader is attempting to brainwash the children with a not so subliminal message of community service in today's comics. In fact, I counted over 15 comic strips extolling community service in today's paper. It seems that even with a record drop in his ratings, the Dear Leader still can march the media in lockstep with him. Is this not creepy that he apparently would ask the media to do this? Is it not even creepier that they would comply?

Several years ago we witnessed a strange and unexpected event between a dog and a cat. A fairly good sized German Shepherd spotted a much smaller, black house cat and broke into a dead run after the cat. The cat, startled by the dog and now instantly charged with adrenalin, struck off down the street as fast as he could go, in a black blur. Now a dog chasing a cat is hardly news, but it was what the cat did that drastically altered the outcome of the chase. About a few seconds into the chase, the cat, without regard...

I am not one to usually post a vanity; however, I thought there should be a voice to the Dr. Pepper/7-Up corporate folks who've recently released 7-Up commercials featuring Brad Garrett, an "actor/comedian" who made untoward remarks about Palin and her family. Garrett said during the '08 election cycle, "Joan Rivers face has been lifted more times than Bristol Palin's prom dress." Moreover, Garrett called Palin and her family "white trash." This is outrageous that a major company like Dr. Pepper/7-Up brands would have this stooge peddle their product on television given his sickening comments.
