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?
does that mean then that those who do not support the troops should not have liberty?! ::grin:: I couldn't help it!! it just kinda led there!
aawwww
you are so sweet.

I have seen that difference too. What a difference the train ride from NYC to Westchester is now. Almost a pretty ride in some places. Less graffiti and abandoned cars.
HOWEVER, IMO he can’t clean up the country. What is wrong with this country are the liberal views he defends and cherishes.
That's staggering.
I feel like I'm at FR all the time, and I've got 63 threads, 8750 replies.
Do you sleep?
Why I otter spank your wet monkey for that great insult!
No arguement here! I didn’t need to be convinced by all Rudys other faults, I disqualified him for president on his abortion stance alone!
We need leaders like the founding fathers again in this country. I wonder if that is even possible anymore.
Rudy’s view on things is the view Europe went for. Give up liberty and self-determination for authoritative control, but a perhaps more pleasant environment. But the state sneaks in and erodes the moral underpinnings that allow you to stand free. You pay a price. When the right to murder the unborn is considered a virtue, and the right to say Merry Christmas is considered a vice, something is wrong with that picture.
“This is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering... And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in it’s train wretchedness and oppression.” Thomas Jefferson
Interesting too how in some divorces, it is a woman’s right to choose to leave her husband. A husband who will have to financially support her and any children in her choice to leave him.
Thy hypocrisy of the left never ends.
God knows, He sees and He hears our pleas.
Off to bed for me. Nite.
Hello, Dita!
Yeah, I don’t much care for the name calling, but I don’t mind getting real passionate about one’s beliefs. That said, no one hates like a liberal. They even hate themselves. I don’t bother with hate, it is a wasted emotion. Hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other one to die.
Cleaning up a cesspool like pre-Rudy NYC was is good practice for cleaning up what's wrong with the rest of the country.
As a New Yorker, you know what kind of Republican you have to run as in order to get elected mayor of this town: You run as moderate pro-life, pro-gun control, and hard core law-and-order. It boggles my mind that people get down on Rudy for gun control in a city where most of the residents WANT GUN CONTROL. They WANT it, they really do.
Crazy? Hell yeah it's crazy, but that's what the electorate wants.
You know what other crazy crap they want here? They want abortion on demand, so they have it. That's the kind of place NYC is.
Years ago, back in my college days, I wrote a jazz song titled “Opus in Chartreuse.” (My undergrad degree is in Music (Jazz Performance)from UNT.

And isn’t that quite the crystal ball.
Not hardly. Jim's still flushing 'em out.
