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.
Lotsa people got banned this weekend. I don’t know where the latest list is but here’s one from last night:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1821435/posts?page=4429#4429
So people who dont believe in certain things should be banned from here???
If the things they don’t believe in are FR’s founding principles, then they should at least tread lightly. If they believe the primary way to relate to the Founders’ legacy is by viewing through the lens of thier worst moral failures, they should be shown the door.
***Very eloquently stated, thank you. Bump for later reference after such a strange weekend in Free Republic.
Yup. I couldn’t even keep up on that thread. Every time I refreshed there were 200 more posts. A watershed day. There are going to be some ill feelings after the surgery but eventually the healing will happen.

This message needed to be posted - by you. Thank you, Jim.
Has this event been given a name in Freeper lore yet? Maybe we could call it the Sunday Night Massacre. :-)
Thank you!
Be careful how you speak about the presumed departed. I think CS was put on the list because of a misspelling. He’s still here with us, well maybe not for long...
You make a good point, but I have called him a bigot to his face several times, ever since he maintained in a thread about the show “Book of Daniel” that if Christians contact a broadcast company and complain about a show they are violating the Constitution. He would not be surpirsed by my post.
CS, why would you put up with a direct personal attack if it was not true? What’s the deal? Perhaps you should explain yourself during this interesting time for freepers. Why would someone like that hang around a forum of social conservatives unless it’s just to stir up trouble?
Still here.
Too bad you have to quash speech to feel good. Really full of that freedom and liberty ain’t ya?
I got you on ignore now, I ain’t feeding the trolls.
Right. It was before he was married.
BTW, I had at least a couple of nice, civil conversations today with Freepers who are also atheists and also disagree with me about social issues. The difference is that they discussed matters like men, instead of hating like trolls.
Looking forward to the day you ride the lightning,
Silverback
I am not an atheist, as much as you want me to be, so that you can make simplistic attacks.
As for hateful idiots, I hear there is one lurking in your mirror....
Sorry that you have to use Jesus as your hit-man against whatever you disagree with.
I’m sure Jesus would probably slap you in the face.
Sorry I mistook you for the Taliban, You can’t blame me though, its hard to tell the GOD fearing bigots who hate chritians from the godless bigots who hate the christians.
Go back to church, and let God do the judging, He knows the job, not you.
Discernment and judging are not the same thing, CS. God will judge, Christians are told to discern the spirit of that which they meet in life.
Go back to church, and let God do the judging, He knows the job, not you.
Well, after a little help from Google, the only thing I can say is:
"Physician, heal thyself."
I discern that he's running from what he used to display proudly, either because of JimRob's Saturady Night massacre II or because of little old me. Look at post 498 and the Google cache link therein, and then look at his profile page now. Oops!
You’re pretty mean-spirited. If you’re that unhappy here, I’m sure there are other places where you would feel more comfortable. Why stick around? What’s the point?
