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.
As I’ve stated in the past, the rights codified in the phrase “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” are not an arbitrary sequence. There is a definite hierarchy. The pursuit of happiness is only possible where liberty is present, and liberty is a meaningless concept unless life exists.
Life is the first and most fundamental right. Someone else’s pursuit of happiness (such as getting an abortion for one’s “mental health”) must defer to it.
Because Satan is a very good liar.
Our education should be focused on exposing abortion for what it is: the killing of an innocent. So, I invite you to pray for a culture of life in America, as opposed to the ever-popular culture of death. But more importantly, we must live our pro-life convictions.

No, at this point in time, they are meaningless and a giant waste of bandwidth.
you don’t have to ignore them. how about just putting them in the perspective to which they are entitled, that is, polls taken at a point in time well before the primary season has even begun in earnest and at which point NORMAL PEOPLE, who are not political junkies, have not given a single thought yet to for whom they will vote in the primary. rudy is topping the polls a year out when rank and file voters are not thinking about this. you might consider that, is all.
I don’t know if you are going to be zotted or not. My post was humor, based on the fact that you posted “Nice rant. Are you telling me to ignore the polls?” to the owner of this site.
Let me know if you want to be put on or taken off of this ping list.
Thank you, Sir. God bless you and your strong, never-failing voice!
Interesting we didn't reach that conclusion 10 or 12 years ago here.
Yeah, but they only want us to compromise our moral principles until we put a RINO in the White House!
Then things will magically fix themselves!(sarcasm)
Good point. However I remember last October when people told me the polls didn’t mean anything and I found out they really did mean something. Yes, when I see polls that aren’t even likely voters I have my doubts but I thoiught there were some polls of likely GOP voters that had me concerned.
The media is forcing him down our throats like they did McCain in 2000. We even got much of the same mantra -- he's the only one who can appeal to the moderates and beat Gore, doncha know? See how well that was a predictor of the eventual nominee?
Please do not abort me from this list!
Pro-life bump!
Thanks for posting this.
Any chance of adding Rudy’s pic, with the caption “Want THIS as your next President?” to the current, or next, fundraising drive?
well there is a big diff between polls taken in Oct for a Nov election and polls taken THIS far out, when at the least the people i talk to on a daily basis are NOT focusing on this. FR has always been poll averse, and most here are naturally skeptical. it is pretty comical to see all of the touting of polls on rudy stuff, actually.
This site continues to grow!!! Go back to DU where you belong. Freepers are for life!!!
Then why are the FReepathons taking so much longer?
The girls and women who undergo abortion rarely feel that they have any "choice." As demonstrated by Guilani (or however it's spelled): The men who would protect them are abused, and the women who stand to warn them are ignored. (See the radical Austin Chronicle article praising the attacks on our pregnancy assistance centers at the Texas Legislature and my response to them, here.)
