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?

Just cause someone can make a fair, or good, mayor, doesn’t mean he has what it takes to be president. While I expect that someone who makes a good president would have made a good mayor, the converse isn’t necessarily true. Not everyone is cut out for it.

And dressing in drag? Well,.....

Good thoughts.

While I am vehemently opposed to Rudy as the Republican nominee, the question of what we should do if it's Rudy vs. Hillary/Obama/Edwards in November is another animal altogether ... and I think reasonable conservatives could disagree on that issue.

As a poster put it in another thread (wish I could remember who) ... if Rudy is the Republican nominee, we have already lost the election. The November election then becomes a matter of damage control.

They are having a hard time moving on. Many of them were so busy trolling around FR, looking for conservatives to attack. What will they find to do with all of that time. NO conservatives over there.

Given the language and personal attacks allowed in this thread?

What a coincidence....I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY and had relatives that lived in Rochester...right across the street from Holy Family Church on Jay Street.

“...however if you are going to trust Giuliani because he is NOT Hillary Clinton...”

I never said I was going to trust him. I said I would vote for him.

But you could plug anyone - literally ANYONE into the Republican slot, and if they’re against Hillary... I would vote for them, because to stay home (or “vote for my cat,” as one FReeper put it) would be, in effect, a vote for Her Highness - and THAT’S something I NEVER want to see happen. Do you?

Give me a straight answer.

I know you can’t stand Rudy.
I presume you can’t stand Hillary.

If it’s one against the other, do you honestly NOT care which one gets into office?

“And dressing in drag? Well,.....”

Oh, get over it.

If Rudy was cross-dressing at home - yeah, I guess I’d have a problem with that, but dressing up for a charity event to provide a bit of humor is quite another thing, and these hit-and-run comments (not to mention the photos) are no different than the tactics used over at DU.

I was born and raised in the Buffalo area, too. Moved out to CNY after I got married.

Your little witch hunt doesn’t seem to be over yet. You and a handful of other posters are still goading and taunting FReepers who dare disagree with you - whether it is over treating other FReepers with respect (the only thing I and many others have espoused on this thread), Rudy, or any other topic - asking them to “enter the bug zapper” or baiting them to make an “impure” statement, and cheering when they are banned.

In the atmosphere you and your friends have fostered, disagreeing with your positions makes a poster a suspect librul. Being a member of another website makes that poster a suspect librul or “anti-FReeper”. HERETICS ALL! FLAME THEM!!! Get thee to the bug zapper!

Attacking inconsequential FReepers like me is one thing. But when the mob starts to try to tar and feather FReepers like Mo1, Miss Marple and NautiNurse - Free Republic legends who, in my experience, have never said an unkind word to anyone and have done more for this website and conservatism than most of their tormentors, you start going too far. And when a witch hunt goes too far, well, history should tell you what usually happens next.

Have a nice day.

What’s the difference between doing it at home and doing it in public, except that everyone can see what a fool you’re making of yourself?

There’s lots of ways of raising money for charity that don’t debase yourself like that. Considering his stand on so many issues, especially homosexual marriage, it doesn’t come across as much of a joke.

Nope, no respect for a man that thinks dressing like a woman and acting like a drunken frat reveler is funny, and no votes either.

Let’s call it a tie.
