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?
I'm sitting in an old rec.hall at a campground working from a decrepid dial up...
.. today I visited Charleston ... soaking up the history in this lovely town...
..We visited the historic building where South Carolinians voted on the Constitution, and where, in the dungeon...(& it was indeed a dark, damp, (rat infested then) dungeoun, 3 of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were thrown by the British...
..they were chained to the walls...
These brave men were Patriots of the highest order....
...they had families, homes, reputations in good standing....
...but they sacrificed their health, wealth, homes to protect & defend the liberty we enjoy today!!!!
Indeed, we have plenty of work to do to deserve this awesome heritage and the sacrifice these men have made.
Press on, Jim Robinson!
They didn’t find an “innocent” Gramma. They came back empty handed...this time. (((opens A & W root beer can and drinks from it))).

And Reagan NEVER flinched and never lost his ability to immediately connect with the American people.
check mail please
Thought it rude if I didn’t say hey! :)
In pleasant dreams, he’s still in office.
Evening! Great day for Free Republic and America!
He is one of Terri's favorite singers who she still remembered in the hospice of death.
“As I recall, the media beat President Reagan up the whole time he was in office”
Yep, and most of the time, his humor completely disarmed them. The MSM came off as looking mean.
TOS can mean *That Other Site*
Back at ya! :-)
Sometimes you just can’t win.
I remember my parents wouldn’t let me skip school to stand in line for concert tickets when he did the Born in the USA tour, so I guilted my father into having his secretary stand in line for six hours to get them for me.
Even the Boss realized the impact that Reagan had. But he has made his hatred for Bush very clear.
Hey backatcha, Jedward!
I thought it was Reconcilliation time?
That's a new one to me!
TOS agreements are part of most every forum I know of laying out the law of the land (e.g., don't use multiple user-names, no cussing/swearing, give a valid email address, etc.) People get banned all the time for TOS violations, as I suspect many of the zots were here.
