Moderate ready for a good ZOT!

Posted on 08/04/2010 5:05:03 AM PDT by Lizzie in Boston

I love living in the United States and love political debates!

We had an important senate election here and I proudly chose Scott Brown for senate because Martha Coakley was totally clueless and incompetent.

I looked at both candidates for president carefully. John McCain is a true military hero and even worked across the aisle on McCain-Feingold, McCain-Lieberman and McCain-Kennedy. Thry were three very good bills. However, McCain is anti-choice, anti-gay and too pro-gun.

Barack Obama was short on experience, but I liked his postions on many issues except for the middle east and he's not agressive enough on the war on terror.

I chose President Obama at the end and while he's far from perfect, I'm pleased with my choice.

I love politics and can't wait to get into it! :-) I'm new so be nice while I get used to this site!

Lizzie

xoxo

Hey there Mr. K! I love politics and political discussions so I’m perfectly content to disagree on some issues.

The stimulus has been a huge help here in Boston. The health care bill while far from perfect was a very good idea. I wish they would take out the mandates though.

I watch all sides. Glenn Beck is a mental case to me. So is Keith Olbermann.

Would you mind giving us some specific examples of this?

Lizzie darling, you really aren't "ready for a good debate". Your political philosophy comes from a terribly naive place. But I'll be kind to you because you remind me of myself when I was much younger.

Feel free to stay with us at FR, but you might just want to watch and learn at this point. And honey, you've got a lot to learn!

We know. Boston received an immense amount of other people's money. I'm sure a lot of unionized construction workers over there love the stimulus. In much the same way as Hitler loved all the gold and treasures he took from subjugated Europe.

Don't flaunt that stolen money in our face, lady.

From Mr. Robinson, the founder of FR

This is FR!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2243314/posts

“I’m going to try one more time to explain what FR is all about.

Free Republic is a conservative site. That does not necessarily mean it is a Republican site. In fact there may be many Republicans we don’t support and some Republican issues we cannot agree with.

I’ll throw in Arlen Specter as a prime example of a Republican we cannot support. Should be obvious to all why not. Should also be just as obvious to all that we cannot support Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, John McCain and his lap dog Lindsay Graham, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, et al.

Some of the issues we cannot support as conservatives even though sometimes initiated by so-called Republicans include TARP, or any kind of government bailout of private enterprise, federal intrusion into free markets, federalized education systems, government provided or controlled health care systems, abortion, gay marriage, amnesty, global warming, gun control, etc.

I guess there is more than one definition of conservatism floating around out there, and this won’t be text book, but the one we use involves defending, preserving and protecting our constitution, our unalienable rights, our traditional family values, our American heritage, our nation, our borders and our sovereignty.

We aggressively defend our rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness!

We aggressively defend our rights to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to keep and bear arms, right to due process, right to equality under the law, right to be governed under the rule of law, right to constitutionally limited government, right to corruption free government, right to self-government and our private property rights, etc.

We also aggressively defend our right to state and local government for all issues not expressly delegated to the central government by the constitution.

We aggressively defend our rights to free markets and our rights to live our lives free of government intrusion, interference, coercion, force, or abuse of any kind.

We aggressively defend our rights to national sovereignty, state sovereignty and individual sovereignty!

And this definition also includes aggressively fighting against all enemies foreign and domestic who may try to deprive us of our rights or sovereignty. This would obviously include all foreign enemies, but also we defend against RINOS, Democrats, liberals, socialists, Marxists, communists, militant feminists or homosexualists, radical environmentalists, etc, etc, etc.

And we expect our elected representatives to also aggressively defend our rights and fight against all enemies foreign and domestic. We do not elect people and send them to DC or our state capitals, etc, to reach across the aisles or to be bipartisan or to negotiate or compromise away our rights. If you’re not going to aggressively fight for us, and for our rights, STAY OUT!!

We bow to no king but God!

Our God-given unalienable rights are NOT negotiable!

Do NOT Tread on US! “

Hon, you do realize that was the purpose of the health care bill, right? It had nothing to do with health care...it was to control the people.

The “T” which is the public transit system in Boston got desperately needed money. Cuts in public transit really hurt a place like Boston.

It is not stolen money. The bill was passed into law, fair and square. :-)

Are you pleased with the result: crippling unemployment, staggering debt, trashing of long-standing alliances with allies, bowing to foreign heads of state, race relations at their worst point in 30 years, etc, etc...

Face it - you and the rest of your fellow idiots have signed the death warrant for what was once a great nation, and consigned it to a future as a second-rate socialist third world entity.

Proud of what you've done, idiot?
