I wish Rudy were more conservative, but the fact remains that he is the candidate who give Hillary nightmares.

Actually, there's been some inside buzz that Hillary's campaign is most afraid of running against Romney.

And a lot of GOP strategists believe that Richardson is a greater threat to the GOP than Hillary is. Even more so if Giuliani is the GOP nominee.

When posters trash FR on JimRob's own site, don't complain if others bring it to his attention.

Read the First Amendment again and get back to us.

Oh really - Didn't know the First Amendment included a clause allowing for Religious Witchhunts. I kinda thought they went out of style after the 1600s.

Corin, my guess is that it's a bit like the "RINOphobes." It's my strong suspicion that those who use the term "RINO" the most aren't Republicans themselves, so use of the term is a bit disingenuous. Ditto those who bash you, or us, for "abandoning" the Christian faith. I suspect most of them aren't actually Christians, other than in some cultural sense, but really have no idea what it means to enter into a personal relationship with God through the grace He bestows in Jesus Christ. I'm willing to discuss, admonish, and challenge, those who want to discuss the role of faith in our political decisions and behavior. But the blind-side attacks on people's faith, simply because they disagree with whom they're supporting for office, is out-of-bounds, IMHO. These cheapshots are also an indication that the Mods here aren't doing their jobs very well. As it says on the disclaimer on FR's homepage, "Opinions expressed on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Free Republic or its operators. Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry..." To allow people to assault or question the faith of others, usually in a vulgar and highly offensive manner, appears to be a violation of FR's stated policy, yet the attacks continue nevertheless.

Adherence to the U.S. Constitution is what defines what is truly "conservative".

Preamble, US Constitution

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Our "posterity" consists of those yet unborn, does it not? This Preamble, the laying out of the very premises for our Constitution, grants our posterity equal footing with ourselves. The founders considered YOUR rights to have equal standing with their own.

Fifth Amendment, US Constitution

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

"Due process of law" consists of a fair trial on a capital offense. Just exactly what capital offense are the unborn guilty of, and when did one of them receive a fair trial concerning said "offense?"

Fourteenth Amendment, US Constitution

Section One

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Any State.

That's my feeling, also.

When I say 'conservative' I mean I believe in a conservative use of federal govt power. I like the 'component architecture' set up by the founders. States decide these issues for themselves.

I'm pro-choice, but not pro-abortion. Which some would say is impossible. :-D So I'm living proof the impossible can happen!

More over-the-top behavior. Apparently you don't have a problem with folks trash-talking FR.

Actually, the remark was directed at someone else...someone who claimed that if we don't support the liberal Giuliani, communism will reign in America.

That would be me, Eternal Vigilance. You can apologize for calling this 7-year fellow Free Republic member a retard as well.

You left off the section about FR's conservative mission. Funny, but widespread deviation from that stated mission would be grounds, for any sane person, to wonder just how conservative the other poster actually is.

The truth is not a personal attack.
