I hate to say it again, but guess it has to be said:
Free Republic is a conservative site.
As a conservative site, we are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty, pro-America.
Like-minded folks know immediately what this means and why we will never "move on from abortion" as Rudy Giuliani and his supporters ask us to do.
Think about it.
You might as well be asking us to deny God. To deny the Creator that gave us life and liberty. To give up our children. To surrender our country to the left. To give up our freedom. To give up our faith and our belief in God's Word.
Why insult us like this?
IMHO, the root difference between conservatism and liberalism IS our belief in God. For the most part, we conservatives defend our Christian/Judeo founding and our God-centered traditional American society and family values system, and the belief that our most fundamental rights were bestowed upon us by our Creator. Rights given by man can be taken by man. Rights bestowed by God are unalienable rights.
Liberals, on the other hand, especially the Marxist/socialist liberal leadership and the big leftist feminist, homosexualist, abortionist, anti-religion organizations deny God exists. They deny our Christian/Judeo heritage, work overtime to destroy our traditional family values, and seek to destroy our freedoms, including, and especially our right to the free exercise of religion.
Our deeply rooted conservative belief in God and refusal to roll over for feminism, abortionism, homosexualism, socialism, etc., is the only thing stopping the left from completely overwhelming us with their godless, socialist perversions and completely wiping out our traditional Christian/Judeo God-centered free society.
If we cave-in to the left by nominating a supporter of abortion rights, gay rights, gun control, illegal aliens, etc., as our candidate for the presidency and de facto leader of the Republican party, then we will have destroyed our own pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty movement and will have destroyed all of our prior pro-life, pro family, pro-liberty work. The Republican party will have made itself a joke. It'll be left standing for nothing. Worse, it'll be left standing with NARAL, NOW, the ACLU, and every other feminist/homosexualist Marxist/socialist communist group.
Surrender to the abortionists? Not on your life!
This is Free Republic. We ARE the dissent! We fight for life and liberty! We fight for our traditional American family values! We proudly and diligently defend our Christian/Judeo heritage, our country, our constitution, and our right to be free and to freely worship our God!
IMHO, those of you who cannot or will not understand these simple truths will never understand what FR is all about, what the pro-life movement is all about, what conservatism is all about, or even what freedom is all about.
I have not ever come across an FR thread about Internet gambling. The fact that of all the social issues befoire us you have to pick Internet gambling to make the point that Bush supporters are cramming Jesus down your throat seems to indicate you've got nothing.
As for the stuff that people wanted to let Bush do that Clinton would be impeached for, you'll have to be much more specific than that...and I'm not expecting you to have anything remotely damaging.
And now you're saying that we should promote a guy who is pretty much the opposite. Tasty pick!
I get PINGed on dozens of threads without my permission. Being PINGed is not like being called by telemarketers while you're eating supper. It's an electronic forum, you just scroll up past the threads. Why make a big deal out of it?
Endorsements does not equal votes.
What about what happened to this guy?
President Bush is supposed to get impeached because “Pulitzer Prize-winning Photojournalist Completes One Year in U.S. Military Custody in Iraq”???
This administration has treated the Constitution and the concept of human rights like a list of suggestions, and we as a country are worse off for it.
And what were we doing sending somebody to Syria to be "Questioned" anyway? Syria-you know, the enemy?
For posting that and clearing the air so to speak.
Im surprised myself at the support here at FR of a candidate who supports abortion.
Over the years, living outside of the US, I have very clearly seen the gradual slide of much of the right towards the left and the left becoming much more extreme.
I've seen conservatives who have foolishly embraced tolerance thinking that it was a virtue when in reality it is censorship.
Im sure you reralize though that abortion is not the only issue you need to address here ~ many FReepers have gone soft on other issues as well.
Because you keep putting up with it.

I have the same sort of reaction. Love a challenge.

I love you.
He is a very patient man indeed.
Celt-—When you write: As a conservative site, we are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty, pro-America., you appear to be defining conservatism almost entirely as a matter of being a social/religious conservative.
If so, then this is not really a conservative site — certainly not the broad-based one it was,
Conservatives are the worldview heirs of this nation’s Founders, who were in fact, “pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty, pro-America.” To define consevative in a broader way so as to allow man-—who does not create life but is merely the subcreator-—to determine who gets to live and who ought to die for the sake of coveniance, money, etc. is to move away from the true definition of conservative and move in the direction of tyranny.
If man cannot have even the most basic right-—to live-—then he cannot and will not have the right to own property, firearms, etc.
yawn...send forth your conservative champion or get off the pot.
Some of my best friends are... But seriously, send forth your conservative champion. I grow weary arguing the merits of somebody versus NOBODY. If Fred gets in, I'll look him over on the issues, the communication skills, etc. Unitl then I'll have to go with the army we've got.
“I guess we’re not much of a perceived threat.”
We must be doing something wrong :-)
