Free Republic

Many leading Republicans and conservatives want someone other than Donald Trump to run for President in 2024. But this judgment requires an assessment of Trump’s vices and virtues in the context of our current political and cultural circumstances, as well as an assessment of other prospective Republican presidential candidates. Tom Klingenstein, Chairman of the Claremont Institute, explains Trump's Virtues.

I am standing on the stoop of an empty brick row house in Pittsburgh, looking into my phone and rotating my head from side to side. The house is in an alleyway facing the back of a church. The mailbox is stuffed with rain-soaked junk mail. The rental company’s website finishes scanning my face and an algorithm decides that I do resemble the photo on the passport I uploaded earlier. I get a text with a temporary six-digit key code. There is no one waiting to greet me as I enter. Inside, there’s a living room painted crisp white, a...

There is little that reveals the immorality and dishonesty of the left more than its labeling the term "colorblind" racist. Here are just a few of countless examples: The University of California publishes a list of "microaggressions" -- terms and ideas it considers racist -- that white people should avoid using. The list includes the term "colorblindness" as well as statements such as "there is only one race, the human race." The left's racist war on colorblindness is everywhere. Psychology Today published an article by a psychology professor titled, "Colorblind Ideology Is a Form of Racism." HuffPost published a piece...

Very poignant video ad produced by the Tennessee Department of Tourism. Apparently TN has installed special viewfinders at various scenic overlooks that enable the colorblind to see the view in color. The reactions as they see the fall leaves in color for the first time are really moving. Enjoy!

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is calling for the National Park Service to revoke the permit for a Patriot Prayer event because she says it’s a “white supremacist rally” – even though the organizer and all but one speaker are not white. “The National Park Service’s decision to permit a white supremacist rally at Crissy Field raises grave and ongoing concerns about public safety,” House Minority Leader Pelosi declared in a statement calling for cancellation of the conservative event scheduled for Aug. 26 in San Francisco, California. In a further effort to villainize the event, Pelosi implied that the Trump Administration...

Dr. Martin Luther King's dream of a color blind society cannot be realized as long as the media and black leaders continue to perpetuate the old southern myth that the descendants of North American slaves are a different "race" from light skinned Americans. The term "African American" is an extremely racist term that implies the descendants of slaves belong in Africa rather than the United States even though many have ancestors who were living in North America at the time of the Revolution. The dark skinned peoples of Sub-Saharan Africa might be of a different race from the light skinned...

Has the nation lived down its history of racism and should the law become colorblind? Addressing two pivotal legal issues, one on affirmative action and a second on voting rights, a divided Supreme Court is poised to answer those questions. In one case, the issue is whether race preferences in university admissions undermine equal opportunity more than they promote the benefits of racial diversity. Just this past week, justices signaled their interest in scrutinizing affirmative action very intensely, expanding their review as well to a Michigan law passed by voters that bars ‘‘preferential treatment’’ to students based on race. Separately...

Justice: A former top official charges the Justice Department with practicing racial politics and selective prosecution in the Black Panther voter-intimidation case. Are we a "nation of cowards," or is it just Holder's DOJ? In February, on the occasion of Black History Month, Attorney General Eric Holder called the United States a "nation of cowards" regarding discussions of race even as his department was failing to prosecute one of the clearest cases of voter intimidation in American history because the defendants were black militants, members of the New Black Panther Party.

cheers for you who voted for Obama! cheers I toast to you who voted, an honorable deed. For in four years from now I will look back and say, you are the people who made America what it is then. Tell your children, and their children, that once upon a time you COULD vote for the president. Tell generations to come that democracy in it's purest form was what made America the great nation it once was. Tell them you voted and because of that filling in of that little circle next to the democrats name America is now defined...

On tonight's SR, Mort Kondrake was asked to comment on the Tennessee satirical ad showing a buxom blond commenting about making Ford. Kondrake said that showing a Black Man with a White Woman was racist. My gawd, many Black men in sports and politics seem to have white companions. What am I disunderstanding? I think the as is accurate and hard hitting (biting) satire. Kondrake is an idiot. His comment is racist.

4 Die in Gaza City House Explosion By IBRAHIM BARZAK, Associated Press Writer 51 minutes ago GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - An explosion destroyed a house after nightfall Monday in Gaza City, killing four people and injuring at least 30, residents and officials said. Three nearby buildings were reported on fire.

Trevor is a junior at Westside High School in Omaha, Nebraska. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day Trevor, along with a couple of friends, decided to orchestrate a campaign that he be named the recipient of the "Distinguished African American Student Award" for next year. In the best American political tradition, they printed and plastered throughout the school about 150 posters showing a smiling Trevor giving a thumbs up and encouraging votes for him. The award has been given for eight years on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to a senior selected by teachers. There was only one slight problem....

The nation has made important strides forward in achieving the color-blind society Martin Luther King Jr. envisioned, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told the Pentagon breakfast audience today. But, Rumsfeld said, "Today, we face another challenge to freedom, one that is truly deadly," referring to the global war on terrorism. Calling today's terrorist threat more deadly than could be imagined during King's era, the secretary said, "It's a challenge -- not only to the freedom that we enjoy, but also to the very idea of living free. It's a challenge to being able to say what you wish, go where...

Football expert and social commentator Rush Limbaugh claimed last Sunday morning that the media are partial to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, and you know what? He's absolutely right, at least when it comes to one media guy. Me. Yep, Rush has my number. Well, if he had my number I'd change it and get a restraining order--but it is true that I've long been a McNabb fan because he and I have so much in common. For one thing, McNabb and I are both from south suburban Dolton. Also, McNabb attended Mt. Carmel High School on the South Side--same...

We are multi-racial – but we should be colour-blind By Ward Connerly (Filed: 02/10/2003) The unrelenting, daily racial categorisation of people by the government is one of the most divisive forces in American society. It is constantly emphasising our minor differences, in opposition to our better instincts that tell us to seek our common interests and common values. This reality has overtaken California, where one out of nine babies born in 2002 was multi-racial. The Federal Census acknowledges this by allowing individuals to tick as many race boxes as they consider applicable, producing 63 possible race categories and one ethnic...
