The Three Most Pressing Threats to Liberty

A spectre is haunting the world: the spectre of radical anti-libertarian movements, each grappling with the others like scorpions in a bottle and all competing to see which can dismantle the institutions of liberty the fastest. Some are ensconced in the universities and other elite centers, and some draw their strength from populist anger. The leftist and the rightist versions of the common anti-libertarian cause are, moreover, interconnected, with each fueling the other. All explicitly reject individual liberty, the rule of law, limited government, and freedom of exchange, and they promote instead radical, albeit aggressively opposed, forms of identity politics and authoritarianism. They ...

From the bottom of my heart I would just like to say F you China and F you Bill Clinton for permanently normalizing our trade relations with China and I truly hope that Donald Trump ends this damnable relationship as quickly as possible. I would also like to say FU to all the people that shipped their factories over to China. I hope they torture you, murder you, and harvest your organs in retaliation for Donald Trump's actions. And while we're on the subject of Asia, I hope he launches a first strike against North Korea on his first day in office.
Is Free Republic Truly Free and Conservative

Is Free Republic really a free and conservative website? I think not. Yesterday I was summarily kicked off the website with no reason whatsoever. I believe there are some FR adherents who are sick and tired of the gestapo clique that evilly and anonymously controls and attacks anyone that does not post what they wish to see. Many are afraid to post as the fear is that they will be kicked out, or treated like HS sophomores and given time outs until they come to their senses. Moderators exercise their prejudices and engage in abusive and hateful behavior. Draining the swamp should include draining the Free Republic Website.

Pick a Peacemaker

Pick a Peacemaker By Suzy Kassem November 08, 2016 "Information Clearing House" - To vastly improve your country and truly make it great again, start by choosing a better leader. Do not let the media or the establishment make you pick from the people they choose, but instead choose from those they do not pick. Pick a leader from among the people who is heart-driven, one who identifies with the common man on the street and understands what the country needs on every level. Do not pick a leader who is only money-driven and does not understand or identify with the common man, but only what corporations need on every level. Pick a peacemaker. One who unites, not divides. A cultured ...
Glenn Beck Tries Out Decency

After the pundit watched Michelle Obama’s speech about Trump’s treatment of women, he rethought some things. One recent morning, after the release of Donald Trump’s Tic Tac tape and his subsequent mansplanation about locker-room talk, Glenn Beck clicked on a video of Michelle Obama campaigning for Hillary Clinton in a New Hampshire gymnasium. The First Lady ripped into Trump’s comments, calling them “disgraceful” and “intolerable,” and adding, “It doesn’t matter what party you belong to—Democrat, Republican, Independent—no woman deserves to be treated this way.” Beck was mesmerized. On his radio program that day, he heralded ...
Democrats should ask Clinton to step aside

Democrats should ask Clinton to step aside By John Kass, Contact Reporter Chicago Tribune October 29, 2016 5:12 p.m. Has America become so numb by the decades of lies and cynicism oozing from Clinton Inc. that it could elect Hillary Clinton as president, even after Friday's FBI announcement that it had reopened an investigation of her emails while secretary of state? We'll find out soon enough. It's obvious the American political system is breaking down. It's been crumbling for some time now, and the establishment elite know it and they're properly frightened. Donald Trump, the vulgarian at their gates, is a symptom, not a cause. Hillary Clinton and husband Bill ...
The Scotch-Irish, or Ulster-Scots

The Scotch-Irish, or Ulster-Scots [nolu chan] I have moved this discussion here as it was off topic where it was. In any case, it is my belief that perceived inaccuracies should not be left unchallenged. Vicomte13 #29 http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=48373&Disp=29#C29 #29. To: nolu chan (#27) If my time in Scotland taught me anything, it is that the people are Scots, and Scotch is a golden nectar of the gods given to the people. The Scotch-Irish did not come from Scotland. They came from Northern Ireland. They were the Presbyterian descendants of the Scots who migrated to the "Irish Plantation" launched by James I in 1606, whereby he authorized the ...
Marijuana, an Amazing Natural Drug (No wonder Big Pharma hates it)

Prohibition kills a massive number of people in the United States every year. It does help make a few people extremely wealthy, but at the same time, it impoverishes the rest of us. This dire situation is mostly unknown, but it is not due to a simple misunderstanding or lack of knowledge about prohibition. It is because prohibition is nothing but a scam. Steve Kubby’s forward to the book demonstrates that the state has no moral purpose for enforcing marijuana prohibition. Rather, the state is actively covering up the fact that marijuana is not highly dangerous and marijuana has well-established benefits. Readers will be amazed at how callously law enforcement and the justice system ...
Programmed to bite: The growing epidemic of dog attacks

Dog attacks on the serious end of the spectrum need to become the focus of increasing media and public attention.

The Problem Is Conservatives' Acceptance of Progressive Government

The Problem Is Conservatives' Acceptance of Progressive Government By Scott Lazarowitz Many conservatives are frustrated with our society's lack of acceptance of conservatism into the mainstream. But it's not because of Republican Party weakness or a failure in political strategy, as some conservatives such as Steve Deace suggest on talk radio and among the Internet and TV pundit class. The problem is because conservatives have abandoned the true moral principles underlying a civilized society: private property, free exchange, and individual liberty. Starting about a century ago conservatives began to surrender their moral principles to the progressives' collectivist ...
Fairies and Communists

Fairies and Communists by Jack Paar There used to be a time when it looked like the Communists were taking over show business. Now it's fairies. They operate a lot alike, actually; both have a tendency to colonize. Just as there used to be no such thing as one Communist in a play or movie, now there is no such thing as one fairy. Where you find one, you usually find a baker's dozen swishing around. I had a little game I used to play when I was an actor in Hollywood, back in the days when Communists or Communist sympathizers were nearly as plentiful in the film capital as yes-men. If I spotted someone in a picture who was a Communist or leftist, I could usually pick out several ...

Credit Al Drago/The New York Times The America I know wasn’t on the television screen on Monday night. My America is about the freedom to make choices, pursue your dreams and use your skills as entrepreneurs. It is about having more choices than just red versus blue.Americans want to be able to choose a president who is capable of reason, of learning from failures, and of telling them the truth, even when it hurts. Most of all, they want to choose a president who will adhere to the Constitution and will make government live within its means.I’m offering that choice. I wasn’t part of the presidential debate on Monday, but as Americans listened in dismay to the so-called ...
Hillary Clinton’s Health Situation Means Libertarian Gary Johnson Must Now be in the Presidential Debates

Photos: Evan Guest, U.S. government, Wolf4609 I was saddened to watch Hillary Clinton stumble last Sunday as she left a New York City 9/11 tribute early. She was weak and ill. For a possible Commander-in-Chief, nothing is more important than good health. Unfortunately, looking back over videos of her in the last five years and consulting with medical professionals (my wife is a physician), I can only conclude that the nation must take this stumble--and her health situation--very seriously. Let's hope she gets over pneumonia soon and there's nothing worse lurking. A lot has been made over whether Libertarian Gary Johnson--who is on the ballot in all 50 states, has about 15 million ...
Why Homo-Marriage will bring America into Direct Conflict with God

During this election cycle in the United States the issues cited and heralded as the ‘most important’ are, security and prosperity. Both candidates for president are using the same rhetoric and both claim they will bring security and great prosperity to us all – if they are elected. Not to despair, Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence this week reminded supporters in a speech that the Republican platform was entirely pro-life and inferred that more conservative judges will be chosen under a Trump administration. Conservative appointments in the Supreme Court may be a veiled reference to encourage legislation to defend traditional marriage that will not be overturned by a ...

It's Citizens, Not Police Who Need De-Escalation Training

the wake of the officer-involved shootings of Philando Castile (St. Paul, MN), Anton Sterling (Baton Rouge, LO) and most recently the assassination of five Dallas, Texas officers; I have been doing non-stop interviews with reporters from the national and international news media. A number of these journalists have been asking me about the de-escalation training I produce for law enforcement. They ask what the “de-escalation” concept refers to and how it works. They ask, “Shouldn’t the police be getting more de- escalation training?” While I generally respond that it is always a good idea that street officers receive more training; I have taken a different view that ...
Donald Trump May Have Just Won the White House

If conservatives who care about border security and true immigration reform are looking for a reason to vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, they just found it Donald Trump may have just won the White House. In a powerful, effective, and brilliant speech on the issue of illegal immigration delivered last night in Arizona, Trump laid out a view of true immigration reform that will secure our borders, protect our national security, protect American families in their own neighborhoods and communities, and above all, protect America’s cultural values. Trump’s plan is gloriously simple: let’s enforce the immigration laws we already have. This involves rapid deportation ...
Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA), Drafted by DC Marijuana Lobbying Group, Is a Mess

Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA), Drafted by DC Marijuana Lobbying Group, Is a Mess The Michigan Medical Marijuana Act (MMMA) is based on model legislation provided by the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying group organized to decriminalize both the medical and recreational uses of marijuana. The statutory language of the MMMA was drafted by Karen O’Keefe, the Director of State Policies at the MPP in Washington, D.C. It did not come from the legislature, but came as Proposition 1 in 2008. It is a mess. Marijuana remains a Schedule I drug pursuant to Michigan Law. People v Redden, 290 Mich App 65, 799 N.W. 2d 184 (2010) Opinion of the Court ...

Teen Homosexuality Jeopardizes Health

Homosexuality is harmful to children and other living things. A new federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) survey provides the jaw-dropping evidence. But the left is busy blaming conservatives and everything but the obvious. Why are young bodies built for heterosexuality engaging in the sexual equivalent of anorexia, defying anatomy and a positive, healthy future? Here’s an analogy. In a family with suspected child abuse, what should be done? Friends, neighbors, teachers might see the sad outcomes in the lives of this family’s children who skip school, act depressed, exhibit aggression toward peers, and start self-destructive behaviors like eating disorders, cutting, or ...

Townhall.com logo AUGUST 16, 2016 What The Past Can Teach Us Cal Thomas 8/16/2016 12:01:00 AM - Cal Thomas While we shouldn't live in the past, we can certainly learn from it. We are not the first humans to walk the Earth and yet too many, especially the young, suffer from the conceit that history is just a boring subject in school. PBS is rerunning episodes on its award-winning series "American Experience" on modern presidents and the challenges they faced. Each episode retraces what presidents believed to be good ideas at the time -- from Lyndon Johnson's program to wipe out poverty and defeat the communists in Vietnam, to George W. Bush's toppling of Saddam ...
