Free Republic

I just learned of Patriot Mobile. Cheaper, they don’t give to liberal causes, advertise as backing military and conservative causes. Anybody use them and is there service good? Coverage in Virginia?

I’m on vacation with family and a heated discussion ensued about North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba etc. Of course it was about the wonders of their healthcare and general lifestyle. Can anyone please either point me in the right direction to a web site or ping me with a synopsis of North Koreas history? I’d greatly appreciate it.

I'm reading that silver is the way to go now for a hedge against inflation and am asking if anybody is aware of the best type of silver to purchase. Bars, coins, etc. I guess you just buy it and tuck it away for later use as barter?

Harris is neither black nor legally eligible to hold the office of VP from what I understand. What is she then and what is her ineligible background?

So now what does Steven K Bannon and the War Room posse talk about? I love(d) watching the show every day. It kept me sane during the last 2 months. Common sense and logic are the order on the show. The guests are true patriots and fully knowledgeable about whatever topic is being explored. What does Rudy, Boris and the rest of the attorneys who worked 20 hours a day, 7 days a week say? IF it's on today, it should be quite interesting. After spending 2 days in the wet cold in DC, and getting out just before the...

Several days ago I responded to an email address on FR that told of buses to DC in the am on Jan 6. The email bounced back. Are there buses of fellow Freepers and/or conservatives reserved going from Richmond?

War Room with Steven K Bannon has been repeating the 10am on Dec 31st show 4x’s now. Anybody know if today’s will be new? The sight isn’t kept up to date too well.

I actually thought Welker did a good job comparatively. Biden told a strew of lies and stuttered quite often, showing his age. I doubt this debate changed many minds but the clear winner was Trump imo. I cherish the opinions of my fellow freepers. Please share.

The WH web site had once kept an on going list of Trump accomplishments. All I can find is as of Sep. 2018. Would someone please cut and paste the latest or give me a web site to find this? Thank you

I'd like to gather a list of accomplishments that President Trump has achieved since his inauguration. I am hoping that my fellow Freepers would help me with this list or point me in the right direction to find such a list. Thanks

My 89 year old Mother in law (a conservative) is spending Thanksgiving with me and my family. My wife has requested that her looney left wing grandchildren be allowed to visit with "Granny" on Saturday. They voted Obama and are in their 20's and are actually very nice people. However, I've made it clear that I can not tolerate Obama voters in my house. Nice or not, family or otherwise. I'm still on the fence because I do love my Mother in law. What do you think? Also, are there others with similar problems?

I liked seeing the Indiana voter opinion question so much that I thought I'd throw in a thread to get input from Virginia. I worked the polls in Richmond from 6a-8a and the turnout was literally 10x's that of 2008, which I also worked! Conservatives were fired up and up beat! You could easily tell the difference between a Romney and Obama voter. And I would say the ration was 20 to 1 Romney.

The RNC got Hollywood Icon, tough guy Clint Eastwood to speak at the convention! The publicity was enormous and it created quite a stir. Who will the DNC try to get and match such a star at thier convention?

A family that lives 3 houses up from me just got word that their sweet little 8 year old daughter Emily has a brain tumor. Emily was diagnosed a few weeks ago with mono and had not been eating and was having difficulty keeping down liquids. Yesterday her Grandmother called an ambulance for Emily because of severe headachs, thought to be migraines. After a scan, a mass was discovered. Emily goes in for surgery this morning at 8:30. Please give a prayer for Emily and her family.

Seven years of “bad times” may lie ahead for the U.S. economy as it recovers from the financial crisis that started in 2007, according to Robert Shiller, an economist at Yale University. Shiller made his estimate in a commentary two days ago. He drew the conclusion from the work of economists Carmen Reinhart and Vincent Reinhart in “After the Fall,” a paper presented at the Federal Reserve’s annual symposium last month. Shiller cited gross domestic product per capita and unemployment. The figures are compiled by the International Monetary Fund and the Labor Department, respectively, and the jobless rates are year-end...

With so many conservative candidates running for election this fall, I'd like to get a list together of these people and ask my fellow Freepers to partake in the Power of Collective Prayer on a daily basis. There's a good deal of propaganda being heaved on Americans and we need to keep track of who the "good guys" and the "bad guys" are. Please donate a name of any local politician that you're confident is a conservative and will do the right thing when elected. There's no doubt that this election is the most important in our lifetime. It could...

I have the American flag that was draped over my Father's casket when he was buried in Arlington Nat'l 5 years ago. WWll/Korea/Vietnam/Army/Master Sargeant. It's always kept neatly folded in the triangular shape that it was in when handed to my Mother. She gave it to me. Just above the garage door of my home I've placed 2 nails that are used to hang this flag every Flag Day, Veterans Day, Independence Day, Memorial Day etc. The folks in my neighborhood always notice it from it's size and have come to look forward to it on these days. I only...

My 16 year old daughter has suddenly and with the most coincidental timing been asked by her history teacher to write a paper on the effect the "Civil Rights Act of 1964" has had on America today. I know what the teacher is looking for, but I want to be sure I teach my daughter the truth. I'm asking for bullet points on the effect this act really had on America. Your help would be most appreciated!

I was just reading one of my daughters "history" books called, "Call to Freedom". (credit is given to "CNNfyi.com" so I knew this was going to spell trouble.) In a chapter called "The Great Society", the book brags about LBJ's accomplishments in poverty. Here's a quote..."Partly because of Johnson's Great Society, poverty in the US decreased. Overall unemployment levels stayed low and the percentage of Americans living below the poverty level dropped to about 12% by 1969. Americans' income levels rose more during the 1960's than they had during the prosperous years of the 1950's". There are chapters devoted to...
