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?
Conservative first, Republican if it is a conservative party.
The problem is we are not voting for mayor of a city, but for the presidency. How many mayors have been elected to the White House? That’s about the lowest level governmental position you can get.
You correctly described the Giuliani approach to big city problems. I agree with you that there was more good than bad during his tenure, but certainly not enough to gain him the presidency. His liberal views are not nearly as important when serving as a mayor, and he could certainly serve well in some cabinet posts.
That being said, Rudy is not a friend of gunowners. To have press conferences with the Brady’s and Schumer does not make him a friend, but an enemy to me. Gun rights are paramount.
Rudy is a cosmopolitan. I’ll be kind. He isn’t the kind of man I want leading the country. There is very little difference between him and liberal Democrats on anything at all. We don’t know what he would do with the WOT. He was a mayor. But he isn’t even as conservative as Bush, who is no conservative. My best.
Thanks. I hope Alec has the chance to see it.
Thank you Jim.
I just love it when you whiners call in management. It’s like you’re crying: “Mommy, mommy, she supports a Republican I don’t like”.
Sheesh.
I don’t see Hillary quitting because Rudy polls higher than her in New Jersey.
So why should conservatives give in to defeatism?
DITTO!
I am honest. I never claimed to be a historian.
Twenty years ago you would have never believed Jefferson probably had relations with Sally Hemmings. DNA testing has shown the liklihood otherwise. Some of these guys had dark sides along with their unique ability to forge a country and some pretty good starting point documents. They were overall largely good men they likely weren't saints.
And sometimes folks need shock therapy.
Now the DUfuses have noticed us lol: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x724728
Trashing Reagan to support Giulianni? Sheesh. She’d better not be doing that on a thread I’m involved on. My blood pressure might push all the way through the zot button.
We had one guy trashing the founding fathers today in his support for the abortionist, gay/illegal loving gun grabber. He’s no longer with us.
IF?!?!?!?
If you think the Dukakis tank video got alot of airplay, just wait and see what Edwards would get if nominated. There would be an Edwards Hair Channel that would run the primping video on a loop 24/7. It would crash servers all over America being downloaded.
Damn, that would be funny.
A Herculean task - literally!
What “credentials” does Rudy Giuliani have in regard to fighting terrorism?
Bump.
I know your intentions are good, but if I want to read anything at DU, I would go there.
We could use less ‘cross posting’ from that liberal ‘paradise’.
He cut taxes like crazy in NY....plus he’s currently talking about a flat tax! No else will has even touched that!!!
