Free Republic

Since O is back in town, Timmy was asking his audience if anyone had ever been to one of these costly meet and greet fundraisers and met any of our Presidents. I'm going in and out of the room with the radio on, so I didn't catch the beginning of this one call, but the woman had been to one for Ronald Reagan. When she got her chance for the quick one-on--one moment with President Reagan, she asked him about the recent time when, at a sound check for a public event, he made that crack about dropping the bombs...

Feeling down? Cheer yourself instantly by heading to www.amazon.com and looking at the reviews of Hillary's book. Not only will it lift your mood to read the reviews, you will be filled with hope for the future of the USA.

We don’t have a gun problem in this country. We have a brain problem. And it is going to get worse. After reading just some of this killer’s autobiography, only up to age 12, I am starting to believe that we need to STOP MAINSTREAMING kids with asperger’s or highly functioning autism. And I have a son with it, same age as this guy. His childhood parallels my son’s except: I DIDNT FORCE HIM INTO SCHOOL. By 4th grade he was homeschooled all the way through. You will not see my son in the news for killing people. First, the...

Poor Chelsea. There aren't many untainted names left for her to name her baby. I think if it's a boy, she will be left with more options. For a girl, there are just so many names that dredge up bad memories. Monica is obviously out. Jennifer, no matter the spelling, simply wouldn't be appropriate. Barbra, Markie, Elizabeth, none of these appropriate. Cute baby names like Dolly or Sally won't even work. What about the great classics, like Kathleen, Linda, or Deborah? Very much out. Paula? Don't even think about it. Even some of the more ethnic and unusual names like...

Near Marina del Rey in Los Angeles just a few mins ago. 3.2. Anyone else feel it? Tried to get my sons away from the video gaming and into a doorway, but they couldn't be bothered.

WSJ and KFI reporting that the great actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman has been found dead in his NY apt.

As Sean said on his radio show, Stewart et al seriously invested in this comedy bit. A video of libs begging Sean to stay - including an actual Broadway star number. http://m.comedycentral.com/tds_video.rbml?id=sean-of-the-fled---stay-mr--hannity--stay Sean was flattered. Of course it just reassures the Stewart audience that Sean Hannity and all conservatives are evil racist intolerant bigots while the audience remains so very tolerant.

Saw this on Facebook, a liberal responding to the Benghazi questions. Anyone seen this too? To all Benghazi theorists.....Seven U.S. Embassies And Consulates Were Attacked Under George W. Bush.......2002: U.S. Consulate In Karachi, Pakistan, Attacked; 10 Killed, 51 Injured;2004: U.S. Embassy Bombed In Uzbekistan;2004: Gunmen Stormed U.S. Consulate In Saudi Arabia;2006: Armed Men Attacked U.S. Embassy In Syria;2007: Grenade Launched Into U.S. Embassy In Athens;2007:2008: Rioters Set Fire To U.S. Embassy In Serbia;2008: Ten People Killed In Bombings At U.S. Embassy In Yemen......and on whose watch was 9/11?

I am using the same ipad I always use. I've almost never needed to log in. Now I need to log in each time I arrive. Not fun. I can't find anything that keeps you logged in. The thing marked extra convenient claims to, but it doesn't. Been a donating Freeper for 13 years, never seen a moose, and I have showered recently. And I am logged in. But sick of logging in!

The November 2010 testimony of Morales helped convict Ingmar Guandique, the man charged with killing Levy in Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek Park in May 2001. Levy’s death occurred shortly before she was to return to her family’s Modesto, Calif., home, and her disappearance drew national attention following speculation and then revelations that she had been having an affair with then-Rep. Gary Condit. A former cellmate of Guandique, Morales testified that the younger inmate had confessed to him that he had killed Levy. Guandique was sentenced to 60 years following his conviction in 2010 on first-degree murder charges Guandique’s defense attorneys,...

Take a look at this website. I nearly crashed my vehicle into the Pacific when I saw this sticker along the coast in L.A. yesterday on a sporty little car. Are you kidding me? After Benghazi? Does nothing mean anything any more? What good do people even see in her? A strong woman? There are a lot of strong women on my block and since none of them have gotten ambassadors or navy seals killed, they are each more fit than she is to run this country.

Rush's caller asked him when he was going to do another "inaugural speech" like the one he did at CPAC four years ago when he famously said he hoped Obama fails. After the call, he mused that some evenings when everyone was asleep, he'd sip an adult beverage and think about possibly buying some time on network TV to try and reach Americans who don't get info anywhere else. (Snerdly cracked that he could get that time cheaper on NBC.) Of course Rush ended with a "Shhh, don't tell anybody. This is just something I wonder about when I'm alone"...

I wrote this tonight and just need to share it. Maybe some of you have family members with this insidious disease too. Hello; it's good to see you. I don't remember why it's good to see you, but it is. I know I like you, and my eyes crinkle in evident delight that you are here. Immediately I want to rattle off something witty and topical,  But I don't remember the words right. So I look for something I can see, and relate it to you. It's good to see you. My smile is not like my smile of before....

Not being able to read and share thoughts during the three presidential debates was painful for me as a longtime FReeper. I really counted on being here with you all, and I did waste an hour for the first two debates attempting to connect. It was frustrating and sad. We were not getting clear responses from Jim either on what was going on. Perhaps no one knew. But with pressure building over the last month, somehow we got them to discover the flaw and just in time. If it were not for Free Republic last night -- and today and...

On their Sunday morning news show, KFI AM is now talking about what a travesty it is that all Sunday TV news shows are ignoring what they are calling the worst scandal of the executive branch in American history. They are calling it painful to watch the networks ignore this story for purely political reasons. They called it insulting and highly disrespectful to the families of those killed. They tried to verbally compare Benghazi to Watergate but could not, because a break in to an apartment to steal campaign documents just isn't even in any category near letting our Ambassaor...

Let's get it started in here. The Romney team may not have thought of everything. What are some important things you think Mitt should get across? I'll start. First off, we are in enemy territory with these moderators always. So Mitt needs to answer his own questions FIRST, and spend a few seconds at the end of his response to truly slap an answer down to the idiot question actually asked. Mitt needs - NEEDS!- to get the word SOCIALIST or SOCIALISM in there. He doesn't need to call Obama one, but he needs to say something like "controlling and...

Rush, I just heard you saying that you thought punishing the university itself is going too far at Penn State. Yes, it appears that one evil man brought the whole thing down, but remember that to cover up evil is to promote it. Everyone up in the highest administration must have known about Sandusky. No one alerted law enforcement. They "let him retire early.". No other football teams seemed to hire him, which if people knew nothing would defy logic. Everyone knew. The heads of the university knew. They allowed him full access to their property and facilities. They did...

In the thread about Justice Kagan, I started thinking aloud how important it is to finish Breitbart's job and fully vet Barack Obama. No media person asked him about Kagan's ties to communism. I didn't know this until today. How to get the mainstream media to be even slightly accountable about serious questions a candidate (let alone the sitting President) should answer? Why not start slow and focused? One important question, asked by all of us, to one mainstream news personality. I picked as the first question "Did Obama enter college as a foreign student?". I picked as the recipient...

I just opened my renewed passport. I decided to look at it carefully to see what has changed since last time, but I got too distracted by the quotes to do the comparison. Inside the cover is a romantic etching of Francis Scott Key seeing that, oh say, that banner is still waving. With a stanza of his poem there, asking the question of our anthem. After seeing the whole passport, I think the question of whether it still waves is no longer just rhetoric. Next we see the quote from Lincoln hoping the government of, by, and for the...

I received this in my email just now. I've never donated to Mitt Romney so I don't know how he reached me. Republican voter rolls? Below is unredacted except for the name. "Yaelle," I wanted to take a moment to let you know about a chance to meet up for lunch. This won’t be just any lunch, though. I’ll be bringing the winner out to California to grab a bite with me at one of my favorite burger places. Donate $5 to be automatically entered for the chance to join me for lunch in California. I know there are a...
