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?
I’ll take him more seriously when he wins and election..
“No consevative in their right mind would vote for Rudy!”
If the choice is between Rudy and Hillary... sure they would. Plenty of them.
Hard to do, your shrill complaining about FR is so hard to miss.
Do you mean like Michelle Malkin?
Speaking at a news conference at the Hotel InterContinental in Chicago, Republican Keyes added to his now familiar talking points his stance on slavery reparations.
Prompted by a reporter's question, Keyes gave a brief tutorial on Roman history and said that in regard to reparations for slavery, the U.S. should do what the Romans did: "When a city had been devastated [in the Roman empire], for a certain length of time--a generation or two--they exempted the damaged city from taxation."
Keyes proposed that for a generation or two, African-Americans of slave heritage should be exempted from federal taxes--federal because slavery "was an egregious failure on the part of the federal establishment." In calling for the tax relief, Keyes appeared to be reaching out to capture the black vote, something that may prove difficult to do, particularly after his unwelcome reception at the Bud Billiken Day Parade Saturday.
The former ambassador said his plan would give African-Americans "a competitive edge in the labor market," because those exempted would be cheaper to hire than federal tax-paying employees and would "compensate for all those years when your labor was being exploited..."
Of course Ms. Malkin goes on to also say:
Two years ago on his MSNBC show, Keyes ridiculed this very idea. Responding to his guest Walter Fauntroy's call for reparations, Keyes said: You want to tell me that what they suffered can actually be repaired with money? You're going to do the same thing those slaveholders did, put a money price on something that can't possibly be quanitified in that way.
Seems your guy changes his mind about reparations...or is Ms. Malkin a part of the Democrat Media.
Yes, we know all that. A vote for Rudy is a vote for liberalism.
Bill and Hillary Clinton won both elections. Do you "take them seriously"?
Done and Done.
I think you guys are conservatives that want to see a conservtive get the nomination. I do have a problem with those supporting Giuliani for the nomination. Ohy they can do it, I just think less of them as conservatives.
Have a great rest of the weekend. Eventually this conservative/GOP battle will be over and the debating will begin again.
Do you really want to know why Polo shirts are so expensive?
The guy riding the horse is wearing an Izod!
At least they won...
“Those darn polo shirts are ruining the country, I’m tellin’ ya!”
Better we go nakeeeed : )

Jedward has a question and I’m several hundred posts behind.
It’s the light.....
Do I smell ozone again?
You seem to be remarkably good at tossing around unfounded insults and innuendo. Not so good at furthering the conservative cause.
Don’t sugarcoat it, Jim. What are you trying to say?
Your positive conservative contributions to this forum are more than words can describe, save one--hypocrite.
Feel the love
I got left back along time ago. You go a whole day not getting on here and it is impossible to catch up.
Nah. I tried that. Wore out my birthday suit.
How can you afford to post so often? Don’t you work?
Is someone paying you to be the FR pitbull? Thinning the herd?
