What Values Are On The Ballot In 2024? by John F. Di Leo We hear candidates talk about their values – their parties’ values – their supporters’ values – and of course, America’s values – all the time. We used to be able to reasonably sure what those values were, by listening to their speeches and reading their party platforms, but it’s not always that easy anymore. In recent years, particularly since the twin assaults of the sexual revolution and the carbon dioxide fantasy overwhelmed the Democratic party, it has been harder to get a clear reading on the values...

Roger Stone posted an Instagram story Sunday afternoon calling for former CIA Director John Brennan to be hung for treason. “This psycho must be charged, tried, convicted" the provocateur and Republican operative wrote, below which he placed a photo of Brennan and then added, "and hung for treason,” The post was removed by Instagram soon after it was posted, with the company saying it "violated our Community Guidelines." Stone, 66, was arrested at his Florida home on Jan. 25 and charged by special counsel Robert Mueller with lying to Congress, obstructing justice, and witness tampering. He pleaded not guilty and...

"Have you ever wondered why at large liberal gatherings, it’s swarming with beta males? Well now, according to a study, weak frail men tend to have socialist views. While strong, alpha males are mostly capitalist. A new study from Brunel University London found that physically weaker men are more apt to believe in socialist policies, such as redistribution of wealth. Meanwhile, stronger men are more geared to believe in the capitalist concepts, such as the idea that people should keep what you earn." I thought this was an interesting study. It sure makes a lot of sense that the the...

After eight years of Obama's Leftist socialist progressivism, a rebellion of the Silent Majority took place, with Donald Trump being chosen by them to lead their movement During the last eight years we have experienced a non-violent coup d’etat attempt against the American Way. Under the banner of Fundamental Transformation, the political-media cabal of the Left attempted to absolutely dismantle everything from free market capitalism to heterosexual marriage to physiological sexual identity at birth to judging people by the content of their character.

Please don't waste this chance... I am thankful for the Trumpennium. A thousand years of Truth, Justice, and the American Way. I hope. But we are not out of the gulag yet. No. We still face the apparently lunatic wrath of the Prog Horde. Their hitherto-concealed insanity explains their fascination with the walking dead, zombies, vampires, werewolves, pornography, filthy lyrics, and the other stagnant sludge of diseased minds. Now I get it.

To deny that there are unreasonable people on both sides of the political spectrum would be an out and out lie. Both the right and left have their own collection of zealots, ranging from the self-aggrandized pseudo-intellectual who is absolutely positive that he or she has seen the light and that for the nation to take any other path than the one in his vision would lead to sure disaster, to the downright kook who bristles at the very mention of the other party's name and, depending on their persuasion, believes that an "R" or a "D" stands for evil...

The latest trailer for Man of Steel, the glossy reboot of the fabled Superman franchise, may look as dark as most modern comic book sagas. It's got producer Christopher Nolan's fingerprints all over it, from the haunting score to the oh, so serious tone.Yet our final glimpse at the film before its June 14 release reminds us why we cared about the man in blue in the first place. He's a force for good, and no amount of rebooting apparently will change that.

Our country is in big trouble ... huge trouble. It is time that Americans took a hard look at our values, our conception of justice, and our standards for truth. This piece is intended as a first step in that direction. 1) Values The story of Tiger Woods and his (now admitted) "infidelity" is everywhere. The Woods' story has piqued the prurient interests of America and the world. The story has dominated the mainstream media for days while the injustice being committed against our Navy Seals and the revelation of the computer code from the CRU (exposing the biggest hoax...

At the conservative How to Take Back America Conference over the weekend, Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., had some harsh words for President Obama. Franks told those assembled: “Obama's first act as president of any consequence, in the middle of a financial meltdown, was to send taxpayers' money overseas to pay for the killing of unborn children in other countries. Now I gotta tell you, a president that will do that, here's almost nothing that you should be surprised at after that. You shouldn’t, we shouldn't be shocked that he does all these other insane things. A president that has lost...

Happy BirthdayFree Republic(13) Thank you JimRob (or is it that Thompson fella?)for the memories, frustrations with friends & foe, love, and friendships forged over the years.

As America's Muslim population grows, so too does the influence of Islamic law, or Shariah, in daily life in the U.S. "Shariah Law is the totality of the Muslim's obligation," said Abdullahi An-Na'im, a professor of law at Emory University in Atlanta. According to An-Na'im, Shariah is similar to Jewish Talmudic Law or Catholic Canon Law in that it guides an adherent's moral conduct. "As a citizen, I am a subject of the United States," An-Na'im said. "I owe allegiance to the United States, to the Constitution of the United States. That is not inconsistent with observing a religious code...

This weekend over 10,000 classic cars will converge on Västerås at the Power Big Meet as car enthusiasts from Sweden, Europe and as far afield as Russia, Israel and Australia make their annual pilgrimage to the biggest Classic car event in the world. For Sweden’s Raggare, the Power Big Meet is more than just a car show - it’s a celebration of a way of life that is peculiarly Swedish, despite being entrenched in the fashions, music and motor cars of Americana. Since the 1950s, a version of the American Dream has been embraced with an enthusiasm that has endured...

Exposing America’s Enemies: The ‘Social Justice Seeking’ Communist Left October 03, 2006 Vox Populi By Linda Kimball On one hand, Americans were outraged and appalled by the 1 May immigrant demonstrations that clogged streets and virtually closed down some cities. Law abiding citizens saw lawbreakers who not only seemed to feel justified in their criminal behavior, but also believed they ought to be rewarded for it. On the other hand, Americans are more infuriated and disgusted with their duly elected government officials in both legislative and administrative branches for not enforcing the law and protecting the rights of citizens. President...

...[A] panel for the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously last Friday that the President "unquestionably" has the power to detain an American citizen who has taken up arms against his country. But wait. Didn't the Supreme Court say precisely that in its Hamdi decision last year? So it did, as Judge Michael Luttig notes repeatedly in his 25-page opinion penned for the court. That wasn't enough for José Padilla's attorneys, who argued that Hamdi, which concerned an American picked up on a battlefield in Afghanistan, didn't apply to their client, who was arrested domestically, at O'Hare Airport. Padilla,...

Three of the largest leftist special-interest groups preparing to wage war against a Bush Supreme Court nominee—the Alliance for Justice, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and People For the American Way—lead an umbrella organization known as the Coalition for a Fair and Independent Judiciary. Alliance for Justice Leader: Nan Aron has been president since founding the organization in 1979. History: Founded on the premise of strengthening nonprofit advocacy and “equal access” to justice. Formed the Judicial Selection Project in 1985 to monitor federal court nominations and promote the appointment of liberal judges. Organization: Teams with 60 liberal organizations that advocate...

Spam, Pornography, Fertility and the American Way by Peter Mirus, special to CatholicCulture.orgJune 1, 2005 Got an email address? Check. Had it for longer than one month? Double check. Got spam? Uh, 100 checks. Spam is a crippling curse not only on personal email communication but also on business communication. It bogs you down, it is nearly always unwanted, and is often morally offensive. You hate to be liberal about it, but where’s your government when you need it? Well, you’ll be happy to know that the Federal Government of the United States has intervened with the CAN-SPAM Act of...

RUSH: Here is Heather in Burbank. Hi, Heather. Welcome to the EIB Network. CALLER: Hi, Rush. I just want to let you know that I am the complete opposite of all those stories. You and my husband have inspired me to do two things. First off, I am a former liberal, daughter of a public schoolteacher, and family of feminazis and I was really laid off so what I've done last year is I converted to being a Republican and voted for Bush, whereas in 2000 I voted for Gore and I just recently started my own business so I'm...

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) today delivered the following statement on the floor of the United States Senate addressing several social issues facing the country: "The Old Testament prophet Amos was a sheep herder who lived back in the Judean hills, away from the larger cities of Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Compared to the intellectual urbanites like Isaiah and Jeremiah, he was just an unsophisticated country hick. "But Amos had a unique grasp of political and social issues and his poetic literary skill was among the best of all the prophets. That familiar quote of Martin Luther King, Jr....

Boycott the United Way – Give the American Way If you read this month’s issue of the American Legion Magazine you will find a story detailing the continuing attacks again the Boy Scouts of America by the ACLU, the United Way, the anti-Christian movement and gay rights activists. Unfortunately, since the magazine isn’t on-line I can’t provide a URL but I am providing a URL to their press release (http://www.legion.org/?section=pub_relations&subsection=pr_listreleases&content=pr_press_release&id=249), titled Legion to Pentagon: Stand up for Scouting!. I don’t know where this assault on core values held by the majority of the American public is going to end but...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 - President Bush on Wednesday nominated Alberto R. Gonzales, the White House counsel and a longtime political loyalist, to be his next attorney general. The speed with which Mr. Bush acted, only a day after making public the resignation of John Ashcroft, indicated that the president wants to get his new appointees in place before the start of his second term, 10 weeks from now. The nomination of Mr. Gonzales would also put one of his most trusted aides in a post where past presidents have wanted to have a confidant, as well as someone who can...
