Liberals loved it when Clinton did it. Which is my point. Clinton got a pass from the liberal media, on everything. And look at who is pointing the blame on Bush, you.

I posted the following statement to our front page in response to the criticism I'm receiving lately as to not being fair and balanced and perceived mistreatment of trolls and assorted malcontents. Got news for all, I'm NOT fair and balanced. I'm biased toward God, country, family, liberty and freedom and against liberalism, socialism, anarchism, wackoism, global balonyism and any other form of tyranny. Hope this helps.
Statement by the founder of Free Republic:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.
May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.
Jim Robinson
The CREW was wearing uniforms. The president was not part of the crew. The president is a civilian. That is why I found it inappropriate to dress him in a military outfit. I found it inappropriate to fly him out in an expensive jet. It was taxpayer funded political theater. And that makes it a “costume” he was wearing. See?
It seems to me that only the liberals got upset about that event. I guess flying Bill Clinton over to France in 1994 to upright American flags that his entourage knocked over for photographic purposes is a little more likable to your thinking?
B T T T ..... my marker for reality checks!!!!
Could somebody pass me the popcorn?
We. Conservatives. Those of us in favor of low taxes, small government, a strong military, and personal freedom.
We’re not gonna get a Romney president, even if we wanted. Likewise Gingrich. They scare enough voters that they won’t be elected.
Rudy is as close as we’re going to get if we want a Republican to be president.
That’s how I see it.
I don’t figure I’m liberal, or “upset” about the aircraft carrier thing. I agreed with a poster, in another thread, that we shouldn’t be using the military as a backdrop for campaign appearances. That’s all I said. BykerBabe took offense at a tiny little part of what I said and now we’re on about whether the president was in a “costume” or a “uniform”. Which is so far beside the point..
I don’t remember anything with Clinton and flags and France but that was, what, thirteen years ago? Was he wearing an army costume when he did whatever you’re talking about?
God Bless Jim Robinson and all who stand with him.
Popcorn is popping...Butter anyone?
My objection is to your entire posting history. My strongest objection is to your lack of respect for the military. I don't consider that a tiny little part of anything. Only a liberal would.
Btw, it's called an Army uniform, not a costume. There are several different Army uniforms, but none of them are cosumes. The uniform President Bush wore when he boarded the USS Lincoln from the plane he had just flown, is called a flight suit. If you had spent some time in the service, you might understand the significance of that moment to all the men and women aboard the Lincoln, and indeed to all the men and women in the service who shared that moment vicariously. But you chose liberalism instead of the uniform, and so you don't. /blatant plagarism
“We. Conservatives.”
Curt/Curtis/O. Lynch/Renaissance Man/ any others you go by:
You are confused is all. You are a retread who’s spent way too much time in the music and entertainment arena, also referred to as the “Liberal Arts” to some.
Call yourself what you want, but you’re no Conservative. I base my statement on your words. ***Especially the 2nd one below. You pretty much nailed yourself there. Good for you!

I’m not an Obama supporter. But I don’t see what would be wrong with talking to the leaders of other nations — even nutball nations like N Korea. What’s to lose?

“Are you serious??? How about talking to them gives them a level of legitimacy?? Not to mention, when did trying to have a rational conversation with stark raving mad lunatics prove to be anything but a colossal waste of time?”
They have fricking atom bombs. That gives them a level of legitimacy. We got into this Iraq debacle precisely by refusing to talk to people that we should have talked to. There’s no reason, assuming you’re talking about actual, substantive dialog (and there’s no reason to assume Obama was talking about anything else), not to have that dialog.
Sheesh — I just re read this and I sound like a fricking liberal. Oh well. Whatever. I’d hope the Republican candidate would be willing (and able) to engage foreign heads of state in dialog too — that’s what they’re supposed to be for, after all.

Ferpetesake, they’re proposing ethics bills and all we can come up with is fetus bills? People are sick of that stuff. Why don’t we propose some tougher ethics bills. Why don’t we propose tax breaks. Why don’t we propose stuff people want to hear about? This fetus stuff will never see the light of day.

New Survey Finds Majority of Americans Remain Opposed to Same-Sex “Marriage”

“civil union is just another legal term of art FOR MARRIAGE UNDER THE LAW.”
No, they’re civil unions. Which is what they ought to be. Marriage is a religious thing. Taxes and inheritance are a civil thing and there’s no reason gays shouldn’t have access to them just like straights do.
That said, yeah, I oppose gay marriage too. It’s the word that gives me pause — marriage isn’t same-sex. Not the way the word is used, in English, which is what I speak.

“legally you are 100% wrong.”
No, actually, I’m 100% right.
That’s the beauty of civil unions. They fix the problem. They let the gays have their hospital visits and tax stuff and inheritance stuff and maybe everyone can forget about the whole issue.
And we won’t have to read about what sort of “squirting” people do in their own homes. You’ve got issues, man.

*** Here’s a quote from a recent post of mine, which may help guide you in understanding my thoughts:
“That’s why I included “Liberal Thinking”, as there unfortunately still people here who refuse to accept the fact that they are either a flaming liberal or at the minimum proscribe to many liberal tendancies. Of course to me, there’s no distinction...a liberal is a liberal is a liberal. It’s gone by various names in the previous decades, but it is Liberalism and it’s assisting in destroying this country along with Political Correctness.
I’m tempted to create a thread on the topic. There’s still a little tension around here and I’m getting tired of watching posts essentially criticizing FR for being “not well” and “not what it used to be” or whatever whiney appeasing liberal garbage I’ve seen. If someone doesn’t like FR, then by all means, please come talk to me. I’ve been known to help talk people off the plank. Hey, if someone’s weak enough to walk it, then I’ll guide them step by step. They’re the one’s negotiating their principles and my country, not the other way around! I’m not interested in weak links. We’ve got major, major battles ahead and we simply don’t need pieces of the chain breaking when it comes time for the heavy pulling.”
Oh, and Welcome to FR again! Please allow us the pleasure of a good OPUS! Be a man, just send Jim a request for account removal.
