25 sheets of toilet paper? Haven't you heard about how horrible TP is for Global Warming. I read in Sports Illustrated that it's bad, so it must be true.

We've got some real challenges facing us. FR was established to fight against government corruption, overstepping, and abuse and to fight for a return to the limited constitutional government as envisioned and set forth by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and other founding documents.
One of the biggest cases of government corruption, overstepping and abuse that I know of is its disgraceful headlong slide into a socialist hell. Our founders never intended for abortion to be the law of the land. And they never intended the Supreme Court to be a legislative body. They never intended God or religion to be written out of public life. They never intended government to be used to deny God's existence or for government to be used to force sexual perversions onto our society or into our children's education curriculum. They never intend for government to disarm the people. They never intended for government to set up sanctuary cities for illegals. They never intended government to “rule” over the people and or to take their earnings or private property or to deprive them of their constitutional rights to free speech, free religion, private property, due process, etc. They never intended government to seize the private property of private citizens through draconian asset forfeiture laws or laws allowing government to take private property from lawful owners to give to developers. Or to seize wealth and redistribute it to others. Or to provide government forced health insurance or government forced retirement systems.
All of the above are examples of ever expanding socialism and tyranny brought to us by liberals/liberalism.
FR fights against the liberals/Democrats in all of these areas and always will. Now if liberalism infiltrates into the Republican party and Republicans start promoting all this socialist garbage, do you think that I or FR will suddenly stop fighting against it? Do you think I'm going to bow down and accept abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, global warming, illegal alien lawbreakers, gun control, asset forfeiture, socialism, tyranny, totalitarianism, etc, etc, etc, just so some fancy New York liberal lawyer can become president from the Republican party?
Do you really expect me to do that?
Huh?
It wasn't *wit* either.
Fast foward to his last term...that’s where my memories of Nixon come in. Like you politics bit me early.
Drawing lines in the sand. You either agree with JimRob’s mission statement, or you learn to be polite, and to discourse with some sensibility and restraint, I think is how it could be summed up.
Could someone FReepmail to me the URL of whatever this “WA” site is that (I keep hearing) was set up by numerous recently-banned folks? I’m terribly curious — but please do not post the URL in the thread itself. Use FReepmail.
Thanks!
wondering myself...
Flew's original example may be softened into the following [1]:
This form of argument is a informal fallacy if the predicate ("putting sugar on porridge" or "doing such a thing [as committing a sex crime]") is not actually contradictory for the accepted definition of the subject ("Scotsman"), or if the definition of the subject is silently adjusted after the fact to make the rebuttal work.
There are a couple posters posting in riddles lol. Some have the conviction to post their actual opinions. Worth ignoring imo.
Done.
“There really are no true Scotsmen.”
Then I guess that it’s a good thing that this is Constitutional Conservative site and not Scotland.
Welcome to the thread that everyone in the blogosphere knows about.
There’s punch over at the table.
Hey there! Put me on the “recently banned” ping list! =)
I enjoy conundrums...I actually like to unknit them and figure out how they work...

If they choose to do it and the FReepers don’t object or ask that their names not be posted, that’s their business. Volunteering the information is one thing; demanding it is another.
It still isn’t anybody else’s business. I don’t care who donates and who doesn’t. All it does is lead to either pride, where someone can flaunt what they’ve given, or judgmentalism for what another is perceived for doing or not doing.
Donations shouldn’t be for bragging rights and to be used to push other people around.

Well, I will just stick with my original premise that there were a bunch of long-time FReepers who were either never conservative to start with or had devolved into liberalism over a period of time. The fact remains that we don’t need people polluting a conservative forum with the notion that liberalism is the answer.
Hmm.
Knitting: “It’s a conservative tent. They don’t 100% overlap.”
I've always thought FR is whatever it is at a given point, not what it sez on the intro page, nor what anybody wants it to be.
Kinda like a garden. Stuff grows, and it depends on what you consider a weed. So JimRob comes in and plows a bunch of stuff under, maybe the place becomes what he wants.
But I think it's interesting, that even here after the 'purge' Knitting and L'T and txradio all mix and match FR being a "conservative site" and others talking about the "RINOs being purged."
RINOs is not interchangeable with CINOs, if we are to believe that Conservative credentials are more important than Republican creds. Right?
I’m working to get caught up with the thread again, but needed to stop and give kudos to your great post. I couldn’t agree more!
