It's that time of year where awards, reviews and predictions happen. Here at the Republic, we are no different. It's time to hand out the douche bag of the year award. While there are many worthy candidates to get the award, this guy earned it from day one. Not because he was the first one to receive it here, no because it truly takes a douche to do what this guy did. Not only does he dress like

In America, what is called the Christmas spirit should really be called "drinking the eggnog". Going along with the millions of fellow members of the economy and community.American Christmas (which I will simply call December25) is not a celebration of the birth of Mary's boy child. It is a hodgepodge of centuries of tradition and American (consumerism / commercialism / materialism.)I HATE

Ok, really I have something this time. This time we visit Florida again. And this time its about the church, again.Your reading assignment today...Church publicly makes self look like an assI can pretty sum this up real quick like....who cares. Really? I mean so what if she decides to do that, it's not the place of a church to tell people what they can and cannot do with their private lives.

Occasionally, a Senate seat opens up. A Senator runs for President. A Senator wins the Presidency. A Senator is killed in a plane crash. Or something like that.In this decade, eight times, the governor of a state has had to appoint a Senator. It will happen at least three more times (Illinois, Delaware, New York.)Rod Blagojevich, as governor of Illinois, had the duty of finding a replacement

Today was a very important day in our history as Americans. It was the day Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbour. It was the worst attack on US interest since the 1812 war with Great Britain. The following day President Roosevelt gave the following speech. I can say this will all confidence, maybe two Presidents have delivered some of the most inspiring words about an tragic incident. When those

Well its Thanksgiving time. Again.And once again, I feel like I am being a "burden" on a family that I have zero relation to. If that at all makes sense. Let me explain. Ever since my grandmother died, I really haven't celebrated any holidays that is of note (i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter). The main reason for this, no one to celebrate with. Sure I have friends who invite me out, or

I keep thinking about a paradigm. A way of looking at the world and reacting to it. I could say one name and you'd all know who I was talking about.Well, that one name talks to someone my parents used to talk to. And, for a few years, we tried to live our lives that way. This paradigm is different, noticeable, and counter-cultural. And, based on certain factors, certain aspects that appealed

So I like the other "Christians" out there have decided to pick up the book "Jesus for President", at the recommendation of Brad. I have made it through section one and here is my thought.Man, have I been wrong. I, for a few years now have thought the church as a whole was missing the point of why Jesus was here. Now, I know they have been missing and I am not talking a little bit. I am

Recently, I realized that two of my Facebook friends (who I know in real life from entirely different worlds) had diametrically opposed views on a current hot-button topic. I asked the friends, who live in different states, to defend their side of the issue, with the understanding that I would boil down their arguments and ask their opponent to answer the bullet points.

But realistically it was a vote for freedom and not the status quo more than anything. I am now officially a Libertarian. That's it.With that being said.

Senator John McCain is the most experienced of the candidates, with 25 years of Congressional experience, and 23 years in the US Navy (graduation from US Naval Academy to retirement). He has a record of serving our country with honor and distinction. Senator McCain has reached across the aisle several times to pass needed legislation, and will be able to work with a Democratic Congress if

Here's the Reverend's problem (as well as most existentially questioned conservatives):I recognize the fact that McCain is deceptively liberal in his actions and views, but why not choose the lesser of two evils?

Also we have a new contributor. This guy has been around for sometime and hopefully will bring a lot to the discuss here at the Republic. Like Steve, Emily (who is M.I.A. due to school) and myself, he cares for his country. Sometimes our views (like all of ours) don't match up. But overall he wants to learn and help make this country great again. Make him feel welcomed.

When our country was founded one of the very few things that was promised was our right to bare arms. Out of the three that are running, Bob Barr scored the highest when it comes to keeping our right to bare arms from a recent NRA scoring.

Obama and the Economy:There isn't a single greater issue on the minds of millions of Americans than the state of the economy.

Our reasoning, as Ballot Access News notes: Anyone is free to sponsor any debate and invite whom they choose, except that a tax-exempt organization, or an

Barr Sues to be let into Debates at Saddleback Church"I would not ask for your help if the circumstances were not so dire."No, those are not my words; those are the words of John McCain in a letter he sent to supporters this week, despite having raised $27 million in July.If Sen. McCain thinks his situation is dire, he would not get out of bed in the morning if he were dealing with our situation.

Today as you read this, the world is basically watching two events.One, the olympics. Whatever.Two, Russia and Georgia.In my opinion, the more important issue is this crisis forming in the Baltic Region. Saviour Obama hasn't really said anything about this, because he is on vacation. Which must be nice, a crisis like this really needs someone who is going to take a vacation and not really

I know this question has been asked for thousands of years, but..."Why, God?" And is there a single answer...one that covers the tragedies of cancer and murder, of the Burma cyclone and the Rwanda genocide? Is every thing that does happen God's will,or is there some factor that will make God act in some scenarios but not for others (argued either that God protects some and lets things happen to

At first I was against the GOP staying in Washington and "still hold session". But as listen to the reports coming out of the House Chambers of people cheering, sitting in seats of old men, I have to commend them. They are trying to get the House to come back for an emergency session to vote on an energy act. This act will reduce our foreign oil dependecy, make ways for power companies to

Well today is the day that I tackle probably the hardest subject that I ever will when it comes to the Bible. Healing.Your video first, please watch this before moving on, its very important.There is so much wrong with the "American" Church when it comes to healing that I really didn't know where to begin. I wrestled for a couple of days maybe exposing the fraud that is Todd Bentley (though in

This Douche Bag, who was convicted for killing and raping two women (if memory serves me correctly) is claiming he is TOO fat to be put to death.I know how to kill this guy where fatness is not an issue. A Gun. I am sure the two victims would love to weigh in on the matter, but they were

I have been listening to people for about a week now, wishing there was something than can do to "change the way the country is going". I make mention of a third party candidate and they just blow me off.What is the deal in this country, about not thinking outside the box? If the candidate doesn't have an R or a D next to their name, the person isn't worth anything? Funny how just 2 years ago

Todd Bentley. There are many things that can spoken about this man. Mainly, not Christ-like. But I think it's best said with this video. Then we will discuss the video.(A first is about to happen here)Colossians 2:18 tells us not to worship angels. This video (and the person who put the words throughout the video tells us) shows that Todd Bentley is "actively" pursuing angels. Ok,

"I'm running for president of the United States, because I want to help with family values. And I think that family values are important, when we have two parent -- families that are of parents that are the traditional family." --interview on "This Week," July 27, 2008The above quote is from Senator John McCain.First off...what?After you try to figure out what he is saying, the reason he is

Here is what I can't figure out, why is congress focusing on 400,000 people? I mean gas prices aren't high enough for congress to worry about? Instead, congress gets together and helps 400,000 irresponsible Americans. Granted, not all were irresponsible. Most were. But nonetheless your Federal Government used more of your money to help these Americans who cannot keep a budget of any kind.

A Thursday Night treat.Many years ago, I was faced with a "difficult" decision. I "felt" in my spirit that I was not to run in the league championship track meet, my junior year of high school. For those that know me, I kinda knew how to run a mile. This "feeling" told me to not run. I wrestled with this all service long. At the end of the night, I went and told a good friend of mine about

Its Sunday, so I guess I should be spiritual today.Hello there, my name is Joe and I have a very simple question. Where exactly in the Bible does it make mention to "ask for donations" when running a ministry?

Yesterday it was learned that Senator McCain present an op-ed piece to the New York Times, where he sent a rebuttal against an Saviour Obama's piece from an earlier issue. The New York times rejected the piece stating "It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama's piece," ..."I'm not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written."When did

"If that is a flip-flop, then so be it." - Dr. James DobsonHow can a news story be such a non-story? Dr. Dobson has released the text of Monday's Focus on the Family, in which he concedes that he might endorse Senator John Sidney McCain III, Captain, USN (ret).It's on CNN. AP's covering it. But...this one's actually getting the coverage it's due.Not much.First off, it's NOT an endorsement.

So this little piece of work came out last week on the cover of a very liberal "New Yorker". People were mad.I laughed. I get the piece of work. It shows what people think of the Obama's. The only way to make it better would have been maybe Saviour Obama dressed up as Christ.My question to you, the reader is this. What does this satire represent to you? I am sure there are some interesting

I started to look for a quote from our next winner of the weekly award. However I think Ross Perot was onto something with charts.Gas Prices for 6 yearsOk, this weeks winner is Nancy Pelosi. Several reasons really.She eats baby puppies.She is a lesbian.She is having an affair with Senator Harry Reid. I can prove any of this. Really.Bottom line is this, she is a liar when it comes to oil prices

Since I said I was supporting Bob Barr for President, I joined his internet team. I guess I am suppose to post stuff in forums and what not. Thats fine, I will support him in whatever means he wants done.Here is an interesting article from *gasp* Dailykos, a left wing blog. The guy is an idiot, I am not going to shy away from that. However, here is his spin on Bob Barr and the lack of polling

This place is located in Alaska (in a moment photos and a map). There have been estimates that there is approximately 10 billion barrels of crude oil with estimates as high as 20 (if not more).

Last week I said I would bring the differences (or compare) the main candidates. I decided against. This is why. Both are not going to work for America. Its just the same rhetoric we have all heard before. Though there is something worth of note here the great Saviour Obama has an interesting issue guide, which I would recommend reading sometime. It starts off by listing civil rights as the

Barr None.My comrade and the head honcho here at RoS, Joe Swain, is backing Bob Barr for President. Can't say I'm surprised. The Libertarians have picked a respectable candidate for our nation's highest office.

I have found my candidate for President of The United States of America.Bob Barr, Libertarian.For years I have often said I side with this party more so than any other party in America. After being on the Libertarian website for a few hours tonight, I decided, yes I am one of them. Yes, I do not agree with everything he stands for, but bottom line is

In the 21st century, we do ourselves a great disservice if we do not look over our candidates with a fine toothed comb. Thank God for petty partisan politics.We can have our liberal friends make a site like this, where they look over Senator McCain.And our conservative friends can make a site like this, where they look over Senator Obama.Does anyone know a natural-born American over 35 who would
