October 9, 2003 -- IT'S the Terminator wing of the Republican Party and it's growing. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rudy Giuliani are now the nation's top Republican stars, after President Bush.

They're both pro-choice, pro-gun control and pro-gay rights, but what they really share is a take-charge, optimistic belief that scary problems - street crime, terrorism, economic messes - can be fought and defeated.

Interesting that the party of the big tent is the pubs. That once was the dem party and it controlled congress for 40 years. They killed themselves with a pro-choice anti-gun or you are out policy.

"What would you do Without FR?????

How would You Feel without FR??? Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasn’t there?

Where would you get your up to the minute news? How about the live threads as things are happening?

How would you know about the latest Demorat scams, anti-second amendment schemes and all the other liberal, anti-American ploys that are tried every single day?

Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.

How would you keep on top of things without FR?

How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?

How would you be part of a Freep?

What would you do without FR????

Freedom isn’t free.

If you enjoy the site and find it a place of like minded Americans to sound off, to get together, to fight back, to have your voice heard and make a difference, PLEASE CONTRIBUTE NOW! Jim can’t do this alone.

The liberals are sure we won’t be able to keep FR up & running. Prove them wrong. Show them we are indeed united Freepers.

"To put it another way, the Arnold-Rudy Republicans don't want to go snooping in other people's bedrooms. They want to help people feel safe in their own bedrooms."

but they will go snooping in other women's bras

Fiscally conservative and socially tolerant Republicans are probably the only type of conservatives who can win in very Left leaning states. They've made their peace with the fact the public is pro-choice, wants to keeps guns out, and wants to let gays live their own lives. It won't please the RKBA crowd and the social conservatives. But it can help Republicans advance smaller government without being made to look like trigger happy rednecks or judgmental puritans. They deprive the Democrats of their wedge cards and force them into the position of arguing for higher taxes, bigger spending, and a buffet of benefits for illegal aliens. As a result liberals look like the kooks and wackos they are. Granted, it doesn't meet the "gold" conservative standard but it keeps socialism from continuing its relentless spread through the body politic.

A very, very difficult lesson to learn, but learn it we must.

Most of the public doesn't want the FBI in the gynecological exam room. Big federal government laws just won't work for social issues. Better to be the party of powerful moral leadership.
