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?
>>Well, you have to vote for somebody. With HRC you get abortion plus all the rest.
I guess you are saying you would let Hillary Clinton win before you would vote for someone who has a pro-abortion record.<<
Its too bloody early to give up on getting a quality conservative nominee. The first vote of the first primary has yet to be cast.
Presidential front runners have a way of fading. The first election I followed closely was 1976. I don’t think Jimmy Carter was even polling at this point while the Republicans were locked into Ford out of loyalty despite some very non-Republican ideas like wage and price controls.
The Democrats saw their front runners were shallow and found in Carter a liberal who could sell himself as a Southern conservative Democrat who promised to cut taxes and balance the budget while saying all the right things about race.
The Republicans missed their chance when a true conservative came along. They passed on Reagan, got stuck with Ford and lost to Carter.
The rest is history.
I came to your aid too and frankly after reading the last couple pages of this thread, I’m sorry I did.
I stand by my assessment of you as an FR poster prior to what I’ve read here. But for the love of God, take your meds, go for a walk, or go to sleep or something. Whatever the heck you’re trying to do here isn’t working!
Some, or most, would argue that George W. Bush has been the most divisive president ever. So who cares and what’s your point? If you only get your news here, then it does appear as though he is divisive. But it does not need to be that way. It is what you wish to make it.
I like to watch bug-zappers,,,they just keep flyin’ in...;0)
Some true soul searching going on for sure. Some still want to try and negotiate their principles. I’m watching the struggle with many posts. A healthy re-evaluation of what they’re willing to give up. Sadly some are still willing to give everything up.
I don’t know what dynochrome has to do with this and just remember that me and EveningStar are just the messenger for a pop culture cartoon. If you have any issues, please take it up with the show’s creators. We simply get a chuckle out of watching the show.......................
Hooded Figure: No! Keep your army marching, my Lord. I will get that feeding tube put back in. [turns and walks off]
Satan: How?
Hooded Figure: I will do what we always do: Use the Republicans.
[The White House, a press conference on the lawn. People carry signs saying “Kenny Is Alive” “Murder Is Not A Choice” and “Don’t Kill Kenny”]
George Bush: We Republicans are deeply saddened by the tragic events in Colorado. [the crowd cheers]
Hooded Figure: [appears and whispers into Bush’s right ear] Removing the feeding tube is murder, hughughughughughugh...
George Bush: Removing the feeding tube is murder!
Hooded Figure: [whispers into Bush’s left ear] Who are we to decide if Kenny should live or die?
George Bush: Who are we to decide if Kenny should live or die?
Hooded Figure: Who are we to decide if Kenny should live or die?
Hooded Figure: It is God’s will that he live!
George Bush: It is God’s will that he LIVE! [the hooded figure hisses into Bush’s left ear] Haaghaghaghaghaghagha...
Hooded Figure: No no, you don’t say that part. [hisses into Bush’s right ear]
George Bush: No no, you don’t say that part, haghaghaghagha. [the crowd looks at him in stunned silence]
Trust me when I tell you that the show’s creators, Parker and Stone, hate liberals even more than everyone here. The point of this IMHO was that God wanted somebody’s soul in Heaven for a reason and it was humans who kept them alive despite God’s wishes.
Please just take it for what it’s worth. It’s a comedy show. I really have no interest in arguing about it until 3 AM. But in an 8,000 post long thread I thought we could all use a little levity to break the monotony.
RELAX
DON’T DO IT....
MUST KILL THE MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER
This thread has nothing to do with Duncan Hunter and I doubt that he would have any interest in it, or comment about it.
If you have a problem with Rooty getting Swiftboated you should take that up with Jim.
On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.

HAHAHAHA
That doesn’t stop Euro weenies
You are right about that!
How’s Harley?
No, I’m sticking with the Red Queen theory. It’s too programmed!
Will hurricane threads be permissable this season?
“At least, as long as you are on the right side.”
Are you on the wrong side Coop?
Well, I haven’t gotten any messages and am feeling quite ignored.
Mandatory!
As long as they’re not named “rudy” (and especially if they don’t blow hard left)
