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?
It turns out that some here seem to think "anti-FReeper" means FReepers or former FReepers who post on websites that those FReepers don't like.What would you like to pretend that statement was, in order for my reply to fit your new version of events?
Good explanation thanks.
“They apparently do not wish to have non-members and casual internet viewers to look at their chatty comments.”
LOL!
Well...I wonder “why”?
They said they weren’t an AF site.
You usually don’t appear to need help. If it makes you feel any better nobody defends much of anybody around here. We’re all just screennames, so I don’t take anything personally. Well almost...
...It is not their patriotism; it is their judgment that has been so sorely lacking.
I was thrilled to see Zell Miller's quote on your profile page! I had the immense pleasure of meeting him at CPAC in 2004, a few months prior to his appearance at the RNC. The following year, he again attended CPAC, and presented the SwiftVets the Courage Under Fire Award. Magnificent!
Strolling down memory lane...here is a photo of Admiral Hoffman grinning for my camera, along with John O'Neill and Bill Franke when they received the 2005 award. Lots more photos to share with you another day. Thanks for bringing back some great memories!
Hello gpapa, hope you are well. I do not speak for all....but when work is to be done...sometimes a quiet place is where you do it.
Thanks Luke.
Who is what?
Oh, I'm not on any roof today. There's a LOT going on out there right now. LOL
The good guys are kicking some BUTT!! It's noisy as all get-out out there, but most of it is GOOD noise.
Prayers up for our troops' safety and success.
Roger-That,,,hunker down...be safe,,,
Prayers Up for all of ya’ll...
GOD Bless...
You are more than fashionably late to this party. Your comrade needed you hours ago when he fell over into a crumpled heap on the floor. He hasn't been able to climb back up to his feet since then. He keeps stumbling and showing is hind side to the crowd.
Yes, and definitions to go along with those names.
And watch out for the bad guys.
Got That Rite...
1) Do you realize some very thoughtful FReepers in good standing are members of WideAwakes?
2) Does that make them “anti-FReepers”?
3) Isn’t that insulting to them?
4) Is name calling really necessary?
“That is so lame. Without the posse, it just ain’t the same...”
Hey, that rhymed :)
The fact is Darwin Central is a more open site than WA. There they explicitly state their disdain for FR and gloat over the exodus that is now occurring. They have a thread dedicated to that proposition that is 67 pages long. I should note that most of the former Freepers have exited quietly without accompanying rants against other members who are still here. You can not expect principled conservatives to not respond when confronted with such ranters, and sometimes with harsh language if need be. I admit some of the flaming has gone over the top and has caused some solid conservatives to leave, at least temporarily in protest. In fact a number of Freepers who signed up at WA are continuing to post at FR, and are just staying away from the political wars for now.
