Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

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?

Seems you have an unhealthy obsession with other people’s reading interests, and a tagline that ought to be nuked.

[Enosh]

Seems to me per your tagline, you have unhealthy obsession with Jim.

“I don’t think she was bluffing.:

Yeah, you would know. You both hang out over there at that “other place”.

[No Blue States]

Its sad to see some of these people leave, I will miss a few of them. Really.

But...

Free Republic will go on.

To hell with abortion supporting candidates.

Good evening Charles, have you added M.Thatcher to the list of the dearly departed yet?

I was hoping for an updated list so that when I’m attacked for chortling over the demise of these liberal-scum-RINOs, I’m getting my money’s worth.

Best,

MKJ

It will be interesting to see if Thomspson enters the race. He’s the only potential candidate who could sway me from Guiliani at this point.

What concerns me most about Thompson, frankly, is his seeming lack of ambition. To be President—especially in times like these—one has to have a burning desire for the office. Either that, or a true sense of duty.

Not to take anything away from him, but I’m not sure Fred really feels either of those impulses.

"Hats off to JR!"

Indeed. Cheers!

[Petronski]

Acolytes of the pro-abortion candidate are going to find that photo highly offensive.

[Kevmo]

I guess being a bibliophile wouldn’t be so pathetic then.

[politicalwit]

Fantastic pic!!!

“See, didn’t I tell you?”

They did tell us, and many want to throw all the wisdom away. Its so relevant for today.

That's one reason I know it was so God inspired.

Seems to me per your tagline, you have unhealthy obsession with Jim.

Nah, I just like the expression.

Amazing how often it really sums up my feelings toward the person I'm posting to these days.

[No Blue States]

Indeed, maybe it will induce some guilt and repentance.

And ironically, a burning desire for power should probably be a disqualification for anyone running for office. I'll take the honorable person who reluctantly answers the call.

[CounterCounterCulture]

You can post an opus anytime you wish. No one's gonna stop you or weep at your departure. Until then, we'll keep you for target practice, temporary suspensions for your typical over the top nastiness notwithstanding.

Heck, Hildy's opused at least twice already. One of these years she's going to get it right. :-)

“To hell with abortion supporting candidates.” plus pic.

Hear, hear!

[rockrr]

Good catch! His/her/it’s posts were so inconsequential that I never bothered to look too closely...

Can you be sure about that?

Seems the media isn't covering him all that much yet.

But he is working behind the scenes.

Reagan had a burning desire to be President. That’s why he ran several times. He felt it was part of his destiny.

Thank God for his ambition.
