Free Republic

Not enough people are watching and warning of the incremental ways in which we have all lost so much of our liberty and are well on the way of losing them all. Sure at 46 years old I may die with a semblance of freedom left but my kids and grandkids are lost. People who think and learn and pay attention to history can easily provide times and events that have made what our founders warned against and in fact protected against a very real U.S.A. that we live in today and they haven’t stopped or even slowed down. They...

Could Nancy Pelosi be our next President? The news seems to indicate that there is a problem with Obama’s birth certificate and some states are talking about holding their electoral votes. If this becomes the case I see several possibilities and am asking for your feedback. 1. The States where Obama won withhold their electoral college votes and McCain wins by default. 2. Because of the ciaos of Obama not being a citizen there is a delay in deciding what to do, on January 20 2009 Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the house and third in line become the President. 3....

Open Letter to Warren Buffett Now I don’t normally post and I have no idea how to send a letter to Warren Buffett the billionaire yet it’s still a free country I hope. We clearly know that President elect Obama has eyes on the wealthiest peoples money so he can spread the wealth thus as he says, “build the wealth from the bottom up”. So we can expect major tax increases to help in his dream, which will put many small business owners in metal anguish. You are big supporter of the Democrat Party and the new President, which is...

There are still a few very good Conservatives in Congress, but they're a dying breed on the verge of extinction. We need to organize a grass-roots movement to support our good men and women in enemy territory. We need to send them cards and letters, call their offices, offer encouragement and support and send them pizzas during filibusters. Please, is there a reliable, organized FReeper who can organize an "Adopt a Cute Pubbie" program? This FReeper needs to research and locate the true conservatives and the RINOS. They need to develop a list of of email addresses, phone numbers and...

Enough already. Please.Vanities used to be well thought out, researched and/or funny and somewhat rare. Now the vanities consist of whatever crap pops in someone's head and they are drowning out whatever news is being posted.I'm not the forum police, but please add you're rant, joke or pearl of wisdom to an ongoing thread.

Obviously, he prevails in the election but that alone is not enough. I will be a loyal Obama citizen, only if (see 1.) Were I to be drafted I will serve and die in the military at his command, only if 1. As there are so many substantial questions regarding his citizenship that an actual long form of his birth certificate must be made public or some verifiable and reasonable explanation for its absence.

I was just wondering if anyone has checked BO's legal status? They figured out the his Auntie was illegal in 2 days. So have they checked him? And who do we contact?

Holy Crap!!! Obama is a Marxist totalitarian neocommie! Even for someone who considers them self to be a thinking person I am shocked. I know that he has marxist policies, and is so far left as to practically be a communist, but Holy Communists Batman!

I can not predict the outcome 3 days out. But I do have some predictions. The two names most remembered will be Palin and Obama. I believe it is likely that atleast 1 of them will go onto to be President. Even if McCain loses, Palin has done something remarkable. She worked her way into the very core of Americas fabric. Once you are there, you are there. She is right there with baseball, hot dogs and apple pie. People will look at her favorably. Even if Obama loses. People will look back at how historic his campaign was. I...

Shall we start with copies of his college & law school SATs, LSATs, class rankings and overall GPA scores and grades?

Once upon a time there was a young charismatic and eloquent young leader who decided his nation was in need of change and he was the one to implement it. The people were receptive and ready for a change. He spoke passionately when denouncing the existing system, and the media loved him. Nobody questioned what he believed in, or whom his friends were. He said he would help the poor and bring free medical care and education to all. He would bring justice and equality. He said, "I am for hope and change and I will bring you both. "...

I just want to know, (really) after watching this, I know we all have our opnions. But doesn't it matter that this man has NO respect for our country? I don't really care for Hillary Clinton, but at least I know she LOVES our country and has respect for the men and woman who fought for this country. He DOESN'T. I have never been so scared in my life. Most people will probably say because BUSH was such a horrible president put our country in debt because of the war and John Mccain will do the same. I am telling...

I'm sure it goes without saying but I sure as hell hope nobody on here tunes in and pumps the ratings up for this jackass tomorrow night. I'd rather be locked in a dark room with Ron Howard's brother than listen to this pathological liar flap his gums any longer.

If you want to flame me, you can do so rightfully, as I am posting this from the viewpoint of a casual observer rather than an a knowledgeable linguist. But here I go: The easiest items to adjust for are nouns. You just plug in a noun in one language for another. Perhaps there are are languages with "easier" nouns than English but I don't know why or how. However, this is not the problem. The Romance languages have two difficulties. How to use the personal or impersonal "you" term. (In English it's left generic) It varies widely between cultures...

as mentioned earlier, these 18 yr old druggies have a stronghold in the web 2.0 space. apparently they saw our digg thread and see their posts: "Freeper has temerity to suggest new series of tubes to fellow freepers. Hilarity ensues." " Cave safe, fire is scary! Do not WANT!!" "Right, armchair interneting will not help mcCain much." "They are just as ignorant and backward as the Muslims they hate so much...n/t" "did these people find FR in the first place? Do they think FR IS the internet?" I like this DUmmie quote the best though: "Those who know how... should...

I don't won't to spread my wealth around to someone without a brain. I also think it a good object lesson of stealing or spreading the wealth around socialism. Also, Hope you can pay for gas in your car, insurance, books, room and board, etc. I think if parents who are not supporting Obama put their foot down it could have a big impact.

A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs Obama had with the API two weeks ago. The show will take place any day/time from now, with a 15 minutes alert on when it is to take place. Other programmes will be interrupted. This is a precaution taken to avoid interference from any quarter. In the agreement, Fox News Network will broadcast 39 minutes of the 54 minutes long tape. The whole tape cannot be aired unedited due to...

My wife heard on the way home from work today that John McCain is leading O,Bama by 2% in early voting in Indiana. The report probably came from WRTV6,a she usually listens to that on the way home.

I just joined Barack Obama's campaign for president. Cost me five dollars, the minimum donation, to check on the stories I'd heard about how his credit card processing system is set to verify only the card number and expiration date, so I chipped in with a fake name and address. After they'd processed my donation, they kicked me over to a pre-loaded "Hey, friendo, I just joined Obama's Great Leap Forward" e-mail form, so I modified it some and spread the word. Like Betty Crocker, 'Bammy's money-funnel was smooth and easy. I'd read about Osama Bin Laden, "Adolphe" Hitler, and...
