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?
Legalizing marijuana is a conservative issue. It's none of the government's business whether individuals want to consume a drug that's been used for thousands of years with no deaths or side effects.
Government shouldn't be involved in school vouchers either. It shouldn't be involved in education period.
Luis wasn't American?
Unfortunately it has already. Conservatives can also fight back by distancing themselves from the socialists in the Republican party and form a Conservative party.
Call it the FreeRepublic Party! I couldn't go back the pacifist Libertarian and Constitution Parties. That is also against Jefferson's intent. President Jefferson sent U.S. Marines to North Africa to fight Muslims in 1803.
But, having said that, until I discover otherwise, Fred Thompson is my choice for President.
You and I disagree on a lot, but my English geek thanks you for that.
That’s your opinion. Most social conservatives don’t hold that view.
Okay, here’s a ping.
OK, now, quote where I said he was.
Why can't you guys admit that you're wrong?
Wrong about what? My last few posts weren't about Rudy. In fact, if you go back, it was more about conservatism.
Stop with the tomfoolery!
Why don't you stop putting words into my mouth.
I could have done that with versions of Zorba’s dance....but no, I was good and came back to the thread...
Son, have you READ your own tagline lately...?!
Might as well donate to Planned Parenthood and the Brady Campaign too while you're at it.
No one tells me how to think or how to vote.
We're not telling you what to think we're just posting the facts about your candidate. If you want to support a gun-grabbing/homosexual rights supporting/pro-abortionist candidate be my guest, but don't bloviate that he's a conservative and he's the only one who can beat Hillary.
Thanks. Several wars to fight yet! Rudy Giuliani will NOT get the nomination. The tools at hand, the skills and knowledge to be applied, and any and all resources being made available puts Rudy Giuliani in a position where stepping down with grace will seem an attractive option.
Good grief. The man is an abortionist. The Republican party is pro life. The man is a gay rights supporter. The Republican party is pro traditional family. The man is a gun grabber. The Republican party is pro second amendment. The man is poison to the Republican party.
And don’t try to lie about or justify his stated and demonstrated positions. That’ll just be another example of the damage he does and the poison he’s spreading.
Well, I'd have to say, you're not digging hard enough.
I could go with Thompson - Hunter, not Hunter - Thompson. That would be just to Gonzo for me!

Sub human protoplasm !!
Okay, okay, it was a plot....My bad...:)
What I think is that you should read it. It is well writen, and added a lot to my knowledge about the genesis of e pluribus unam. Marshall was a key player in that, and without him, I suspect this wonderful nation would not now exist. That is my opinion. The shining light on the hill would have cast no light.
