Free Republic

When a San Francisco Federal Judge ruled the ban on same –sex marriage (enumerated by Proposition 8) unconstitutional today it was a big win for freedom in the United States. No longer will the issue be one that it is determined on a state by state basis, but the issue will eventually be enshrined in federal law pending the eventual Supreme Court decision. The current ruling will be appealed in the 9th Circuit, but regardless of the outcome you can be assured this case will be heard by the highest court in the land. The question is – What will...

Viral video: Is it appropriate to use children yelling profanity to push a scheme that gives $5 to unspecified charities from every $13 t-shirt they sell? CAUTION: Extreme profanity in this clip. Many F-bombs unloaded.

So here I am driving through the local strip malls on a lazy Saturday morning, saddled with the responsibility of purchasing groceries for the family as the wife is occupied with other tasks at the moment. It's a clear, crisp morning with low humidity so I bring the dog with me so we can take a walk in the woods along the way. After a brisk walk in the state park with the dog, and a large coffee at the Dunkin Donuts, I'm tooling around town, dog bouncing around in the back seat, deciding what supermarket to stop in at...

Transcript from the video, Dr Sabrosky speaking: “They did 9/11, they did it, I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College and at Headquarters Marine Corps, and I have made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100% certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation..period” “9/11 has led directly to 60,000 Americans dead and wounded, God knows how many hundreds of thousands of people in other countries that we’ve killed or wounded or made homeless, and its an ongoing sore” “this is an open wound, and what Americans need...

Thanks to U.S. taxpayers, an Islamic enclave is being carved out of the heart of the City of Brotherly Love. And how generous have you been with your tax dollars? You just gave $1.6 billion for the privilege of turning over all this cash to the Islamic community. The person doing the carving is Kenny Gamble, the author of such hit songs as “Love Train” and “Me and Mrs. Jones.” So far Americans have shelled out $1.6 billion in federal grants, loans, and “charitable” gifts to create an alleged “Muslims-only” community. A convert to Islam, Gamble, now known as Luqman...

In then-candidate Obama's own 2007 words: When I am President, we will wage the war that has to be won, with a comprehensive strategy with five elements: getting out of Iraq and on to the right battlefield in Afghanistan and Pakistan; developing the capabilities and partnerships we need to take out the terrorists and the world's most deadly weapons; engaging the world to dry up support for terror and extremism; restoring our values; and securing a more resilient homeland. The first step must be getting off the wrong battlefield in Iraq, and taking the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan...

We have seen how the homosexual lobby has been able to whip the President around to their liking. . . After several meetings and press conferences where they heckled, jeered, and shouted-out at him, getting him over the barrel so to speak, he proceeded to get on his knees before them and hurry the suspension of the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy so that buggery might be officially accepted in our American armed forces. It really did not take all that much prodding for the gays to ramrod their agendas into Presidential policy making. If only Obama had even attempted...

Who agrees and who disagrees with Dr. Paul? I would like to see income tax abolished (it is socialism light) but what say other Freepers? Watch the video of course.

BEFORE THE PERSONNEL BOARD OF THE STATE OF ALASKA OFFICE OF THE INDEPENDENT COUNSEL In re Ethics Complaint of April 27, 2009 FINDINGS OF INDEPENDENT COUNSEL, CONSENT DECREE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT By agreement, the undersigned Independent Counsel, appointed to investigate whether probable cause exists to prosecute this matter, enters these findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to the above described complaint (the "Complaint"). Additionally, based upon these findings, former Governor Sarah Palin ("Governor Palin") agrees to the settlement provisions set forth below and agrees to abide by the following remedy in lieu of formal proceedings pursuant to...

One of the most flogged excuses by both Palin and her supporters for her resignation as Governor of Alaska was that ethics complaints were "bankrupting" her. But the Independent Council Report issued in conjunction with the decision on her Legal Defense Fund says otherwise. Not only does it show the State of Alaska offered to make payments for her legal costs it shows that even bfore the election the Palin campaign was making alternate plans to not only get the McCain campaign to pay for them but to hit up the Rnc AND set up a legal defense fund. When...

My coworkers and I took a political test with 100 questions, 10 in 10 categories. I was by far the most conservative. 91/100. Most of my liberal coworkers got between 10/100 and 30/100. Only a couple others got above 50/100. Ugh. The breakdown. life - 10/10 abortion is wrong guns - 10/10 support no restriction on gun ownership marriage - 10/10 man and woman only, homosexuality is wrong healthcare - 10/10 repeal Obamacare and we need tort reform. immigration - 2/10 since I oppose HB1070. We need the workers. The McCain path to citizenship I support. environment - 10/10 too...

<p>By perpetuating "negrophilia," which Rush describes as an "undue and inordinate affinity for blacks," whites, fearing a brand of racism, shy from frank commentary about race.</p> <p>"Negrophilia" has confused concepts of charity and infected public policy to disastrous effect – particularly for the black community, Rush says.</p>

Working citizens will be forced to pay up to 80% of their salary to the government (Fox News). No way Americans will stand for this, hence the reason Tea Party candidates are winning in primaries across the nation. You may remember that Washington pledged $900m for the Palestinians at a donors conference in 2009.

In response to a flood of Facebook and YouTube videos that depict police abuse, a new trend in law enforcement is gaining popularity. In at least three states, it is now illegal to record any on-duty police officer. Even if the encounter involves you and may be necessary to your defense, and even if the recording is on a public street where no expectation of privacy exists. The legal justification for arresting the "shooter" rests on existing wiretapping or eavesdropping laws, with statutes against obstructing law enforcement sometimes cited. Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland are among the 12 states in which...

This guy claims the tea party movement for freedom is part of a corporate plot. lol how are people like this allowed on the internet?

Are others getting this message too? This is the first day I have ever received that message. Was curious if it was because of something I posted or was a new site procedure for new posts.

From William F. Buckley Jr. to Barry Goldwater to Ronald Reagan, the creators of the modern conservative movement always taught that excessive concentration of power in government leads inevitably to corruption and the diminution of personal freedoms. But while Rove credits these leaders for shaping his early political views -- ... he did not pursue their values while in the White House. To the contrary, as the chief political architect of the Bush presidency, Rove was instrumental in directing an administration most notable for its enormous expansion of national government. [Snip] The truly unique aspects of Bush and Rove's compassionate...

Senator Scott Brown switched a key vote from yesterday and joined 57 Democrats and two Republicans this afternoon in advancing a massive financial regulation overhaul. The Massachusetts Republican said that over the last 24 hours he received assurances – from the chief negotiators in the House and Senate, Senator Christopher J. Dodd, and Representative Barney Frank -- that changes he was seeking would be addressed. Those assurances came during a phone call with Frank last night, while the Newton Democrat was working out in the House members gym. Brown was further convinced during a 40-mile bike ride he went on...
