Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?
vanity | April 21, 2007 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 04/21/2007 6:42:25 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

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 correct full name of the authority that owns the WTC site is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, NOT the NY Port Authority

I believe I said exactly that in my post #15312, correcting IrishRainy who contended that the building was privately owned.

The mayor of New York City has absolutely no say as to how the Port Authority is run.

True. But in this instance, the Port Authority was simply the landlord.

I have no idea what agency was responsible for WTC emergency planning...

That would be NY City officials--NYPD, NYFD and the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management. There was an article published just the other day and posted at FR:

What Giuliani likes to remember about 9-11—and what he actually did (or didn't do)
The 9/11 Commission has also made a wealth of information available:
National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States

I haven’t seen “Tourette’s wing” before... but “Titanic wing” was used here before by guess who?

Why just the other day, Elyse, you told me not to post to you, that I was "stalking" you, and I respected your wishes. But when someone asks YOU not to post to them, all of a sudden it's a free country and you can do what you want?

No one asked me not to post to them. I never said you were stalking me and I didn't ask you not to post to me. This is what I posted to you

Look I’m sick of you harrassing me in defense of a banned poster. Drop it! http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1821435/posts?page=7101#7101

I didn't accuse you of stalking me and I did not ask you to stop posting to me forever. I didn't press the abuse button on you or ping Jim Robinson to the thread to tell you not to post to me anymore. I just asked you to drop it, meaning just drop the argument on the subject we were discussing, because I wasn't discussing it with you anymore. If you had kept posting to me I would have just ignored you because you have a right to comment on my posts even if it irritates me.

Why don’t you just link it then instead of pinging someone else?

You can't link to a thread that has been pulled.

lol. The other site DC, has Alan Keyes owning the site, Jim is not Jim, EV is in charge of FR and Keyes is going to use this site to springboard his campaign.

All those posters, hundreds, perhaps thousands run off by the jackals over the years and now it is Nazis and Leninists running them off because we are conservatives?

Jeepers.

This one was annoying at best. Could care less it wants to leave. Some of the departed have been contributors, perhaps led astray and might come be back and unite in the conservative cause. Some might reject or resent the rightward turn - I understand. Some just like jumping into the fray and got on the wrong side. Some were caught up in the moment and did a dumb thing. Some I will miss.

Some like this one I can’t even try to miss, you know, the ones that think it is funny to disrupt for several days and brag about it on another site. They get no respect from me and should be scorned.

Another bit of skullduggery from WideAwakes.net, home of the WAves.

EAGLE'S TALON (aka PSYCHO-FREEP) & aligncare

Playing with the pseudo-ping list.

It appears the brown shirts are beginning to obsess about WAves. As the thinning continues apace, the grand irony is that ToS itself has become the ultimate anti-FR site. Just when you think it can't become any more absurd, JR has weighed in on as to the question of whether or not one must be a Christian in order to be a Conservative. Ay carumba!, yet another litmus test, defined not by popular consent within a framework of limited government, but by some weird cabal of Taliban.

This is worthy of a doctoral dissertation unto itself; the demise of an institution via voluntary forum-cide

Sssssh...the walls have ears.

I would suggest taking this conversation to the discussion called "FR" on salt river...

That would be the rat party.. That would be Hillary and her folk.. Not Rudy.... Unless you have proof....

Come on Kevin, you're smarter than that. Pick a Rudy thread, most all have his own words describing his philosophy is little different from that of the Clintons. His own words man. It's that willingness to avoid the facts that's got FR where it is right now. Rudy is as liberal as they come. Blackbird.

Quit obfuscating and giving the smoke & mirrors routine and answer the question.

Good morning, delusional ;). Apart from wanting to know what someone said on babysonthehalftip.com, you haven't asked me anything.

There was another FReeper who claimed he was in favor of the government minding it’s own business on homosexual marriage on FR and yet saw where he admitted/bragged on another forum that he had been supporting homosexual marriage for years on FR and getting away with it.

You’re going to have to try a different track. You’re still showing your pro-homosexual bent.

Yes, it’s always best to save things like that, and get others to save them too, before mentioning them. Good job.
Now if she could just produce said saved document....(yawn)


She (Elyse) doesn't have to produce it for you. I've seen it, and it's in the right hands.

Hint: That ain't you.

The life of the mother is virtually never at stake until later in the pregnancy when the baby is old enough to be delivered and treated as a premie. No reason to kill it it the pregnancy it that much of a threat.

There are none so blind as those that refuse to see.

Rudy has indeed done himself in with his own words. He did it to himself.

Everybody has to be somewhere Sissy.

Bite me! Just had to say it

Of course you did. And you get the same response that Charlie the Tuna gets from StarKist.

I think you two especially should have very guilty consciences, but you won’t.

Yes, I have a guilty conscience, I actually refrained from telling you not let the door smack your ass on the way out, but I didn't. I feel guilty now for passing up that opportunity, lol

Do have a nice week.

The anti-FR sites sure are obsessed with calling us brown shirts. The DC crowd is doing it constantly both here and at DC.

It might be Sunday Ms. Marple, but this ain't Sunday school, this is the Bug Zapper(c) thread, and when trolls get zapped, they are fair game and we celebrate.
WE don't celebrate. A handful of misguided FReepers celebrate. Chasing away long-time posters isn't a reason to celebrate. It is a reason to mourn.


Give me a break. You 'mourn' when someone actually DIES at the end of their life, you 'mourn' at the idea that 3 to 4000 babies die every day from premeditated abortion-murder clinics, you 'mourn' over the deaths of U.S. armed forces defending freedom, but YOU think we should 'mourn' because some liberal-RINO-RudyBot-trolls either opus'd out of FR or got themselves zotted?

Uh huh.

FReepers who feel the need to egg on, intimidate, name-call or otherwise be uncivil to other FReepers should remember what ultimately happened to Robespierre.
