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?
placemark for next time
Or fail, if the moderates turn their backs on a conservative nominee the way they did in 1964.
And come to think of it, Bob Dole wasn’t my choice in 1996. I originally backed the Phil Gramm!
But I sure as hell voted for Dole/Kemp.
I looked it up out of curiosity: New York City's GDP (457M) is exceeded only by California (1622M), Texas (989M), Florida (673M), Illinois (560M), the rest of New York State (501M), and Pennsylvania (489M).
Name 3 things he did on 9/11 or afterwards that were "heroic".
There’s a freeper on this thread who said that very thing. It’s amazing. And management is fine with that position.
But support a Republican that management doesn’t like, and oh my, all heck breaks loose.
Stepping back for a second: In what universe are "strong on national security" and "social conservative" mutually exclusive? Only in the twisted mind of a liberal trying to elect a liberal in the GOP primary.
What’s that you say? Oh, you wish to have a primary fight? Sorry, that’s old hat. If you’re not for the frontrunner, you’re an ignorant fool and you just want to give the election to Hillary. Whatsa matter? You don’t believe in national security or what?? Squaaak!!
I find that argument annoying and have said so on more than one occasion.
Thanks for looking that up.
“Is there some new rule I missed tonight about people who support one candidate not being allowed on other candidate’s threads?” Instead of asking dumb questions you already know the answer too, why don’t you try and comprehend what I wrote? You support Thompson. You get one vote in the primary. That means you won’t be voting for Rudy Giuliani if Thompson is in it when the caucus/primary date rolls around in your respective state. So why do conservatives on this site who strongly oppose Giuliani gets your granny panties in such a wad?
If Hillary gets in then your tagline will be the mildest version of what I can imagine happening. John Ross may have just been prescient.
When did Giuliani become pro-life?
“And you ARE a punk. Always have been, always will be.”
Yep, you’re all class, howlin.
Like the time you insinuated that I was on drugs and gay because I dared disagree with the mier’s pick.
I have never seen you be able to back up any of your posts with facts. Just blaming people for not being loyal enough like the good little GOP lapdogs you’d like us all to be. And when that doesn’t work, you start insulting people on the board.
You’ve noticed that I haven’t done the same name calling towards you - I’ve merely pointed out your pattern of behavior I’ve seen for years. You, on the other hand, easily slip into calling everyone you don’t like a name. And when you get called on it, you resort to the “Are you threatening me?? Are you trying to get me banned” act.
You’re as predictable as clockwork.
You call Giuliani a Republican? LOL. Guess the joke’s on you.
Why are you asking stupid questions? Rudy has been moderating his position on abortion, saying it’s up to the states which, last I knew, conservatives endorsed states rights.
All this crazy, late night, internecine FR IN-FIGHTING could be SOLVED.
If just DAN QUAYLE would step in.
;-)
Well, that happened in 1964, 43 years ago.
Since then, it's been the "real, true" conservatives turning their backs on the Republican Party whenever they don't get their way.
