We've got some real challenges facing us. FR was established to fight against government corruption, overstepping, and abuse and to fight for a return to the limited constitutional government as envisioned and set forth by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and other founding documents.
One of the biggest cases of government corruption, overstepping and abuse that I know of is its disgraceful headlong slide into a socialist hell. Our founders never intended for abortion to be the law of the land. And they never intended the Supreme Court to be a legislative body. They never intended God or religion to be written out of public life. They never intended government to be used to deny God's existence or for government to be used to force sexual perversions onto our society or into our children's education curriculum. They never intend for government to disarm the people. They never intended for government to set up sanctuary cities for illegals. They never intended government to “rule” over the people and or to take their earnings or private property or to deprive them of their constitutional rights to free speech, free religion, private property, due process, etc. They never intended government to seize the private property of private citizens through draconian asset forfeiture laws or laws allowing government to take private property from lawful owners to give to developers. Or to seize wealth and redistribute it to others. Or to provide government forced health insurance or government forced retirement systems.
All of the above are examples of ever expanding socialism and tyranny brought to us by liberals/liberalism.
FR fights against the liberals/Democrats in all of these areas and always will. Now if liberalism infiltrates into the Republican party and Republicans start promoting all this socialist garbage, do you think that I or FR will suddenly stop fighting against it? Do you think I'm going to bow down and accept abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, global warming, illegal alien lawbreakers, gun control, asset forfeiture, socialism, tyranny, totalitarianism, etc, etc, etc, just so some fancy New York liberal lawyer can become president from the Republican party?
Do you really expect me to do that?
“The so called “conservative base” is in PERPETUAL alienated mode; something offends one of them each and every day and off they go, moralizing and pontificating.”
Damn those conservatives, “morialising and pontificating”..you sound like a fkn liberal. Listen to yourself.
I'm kind of a "one issue" voter--My issue is the Constitution!
Look, I hate to get all technical on you, but there's no way I said that every Rudy supporter is being banned. LOL. It's amusing for you to write it that way, of course, but you know it's not true.
What did quidnick (sp?) do to get banned? Nothing that I can see. What did MiaT do to get banned and called an abortionist troll?
Unfortunately, this is no drill. Confidence is high.
“Who yanked your chain?”
Howlin why are you being rude... He is 100% correct.
There’s no way Rudy can win in the general election. I don’t think he can even win in Idaho, one of the reddest states in the union.
You very well could be the most clueless poster I’ve ever seen on this forum.
And for some reason, you think you’re hilarious; you’re alone alot, aren’t you?
I’m waiting for that list too.
Well, don’t mind me if I continue fighting for what’s right. Hint, liberalism, socialism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, gun control, taxpayer funded abortion, sanctuary for illegal aliens, ignoring the law, trampling on the constitution, etc, etc, are not right. Supporting a candidate that is guilty of all of the above is simply not the right thing to do.
I’ve always thought you were a conservative. What happened that made you support such a liberal?
I’m not interested in talking to him.
And don’t lecture me.
Gosh, do you just think a lie repeated often enough is going to make people believe your little canard or what?
We accept it, but we also refute it.
I’m sick of this thred. I’m goin to the Canteen and listen to some music! Hang tight, ol pal!
You sound like a damn (unoriginal) parrot.
We have always cherished the worth of the individual, not as a tool, but because he was an individual.
***Good place to bookmark and say good night. Well said.
Stooping to the ad hominem tonight?
I was wondering when the marshmallow would come to the bonfire.
There are a lot of well meaning Freepers who are firmly to the right of the average Dim senator, but they sure as hell aren't Conservative. Just my thoughts, and offered with all due respect.

They want God completely out of the picture. Why?
It is really quite simple. If our RIGHTS do not come from GOD, then where do they come from. The leftist/socialist would tell us (as Bill Clinton did years ago) that our rights come from government. And if our rights flow from government, then what government gives, government can take away.
As long as people believe that our RIGHTS come from GOD, then government cannot take them away. Remove GOD as the source of our rights, and the default position is that they come from government, and therefore they can justify restricting or eliminating them "for the common good."
I’m off duty in 30 minutes. Third-shift Rudy-haters are coming already overdue, but my replacement is late.
