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

No Jim gets it.

A half conservative is a failure, a liberal. A social conservative who wants to take your money and spend it for things that government doesn’t need to do is a liberal hiding behind a veneer of social conservatism. An ‘economic’ conservative who say he is a ‘social’ liberal favors a society that will always need socialism to clean up the drug addled mess that his ‘social’ liberalism creates. Jim gets it. Do you?

IIRC? Leviticus?

Its BS and its been posted many times here. You just refuse to read.

Rooty trashed the flat tax AFTER Forbes endorsed him!

I agree with what you say, Jim, but there are problems with all the candiates in this regard.

[Kevmo]

Bump. Well said.

Let’s see a link and I’ll believe you.

I admit your post makes me laugh.
(and not because you are wrong or I am being sarcastic)

The problem with social liberalism is that it leads logically to fiscal liberalism (or communism if you prefer)an authoritarianism.

For example, government should not be involved in the contract of labor between employer and employee. This should mean that a company may choose to cover employees and their spouses in a man-woman relationship in a health care plan. This same company may not wish to cover a gay domestic partnership citing increased occurrence health problems among the gay population. In Rudy’s past positions, the government must intervene and force the company to offer the coverage, to “protect” the equality of gays.

We also have audio of Rudy saying that the government has an “obligation” to pay for poor women’s abortions that are a “constitutional right”. That is good evidence of a collectivist streak, as well as something that should be anathema to any stripe conservative.

Sent to JRobinson: “Only if by national heritage you’re referring to the Salem witch trials.”

Your clock is ticking, are you too stupid to realize it?

IIRC = If I remember correctly.

Leviticus - the part of the Law that punished a man greater for causing the death of another man’s wife than it did for causing his wife to miscarry.

Then you're all resigning our country to at least 4 years of a more dangerous Clinton regime in a more dangerous world.

Hillary as Prez and Bill as "Ambassador to the world..."? Gimme a break.

VOTE AGAINST! Otherwise you are aiding and abetting the Left.

“(”Freedom is about authority.” - Rudolph Giuliani)”

Only a power hungry fool would state this......power hungry like Hillary.

Since I have already pointed out that this isn’t about religion, Leviticus is a moot argument. Next.

If you don't care about Life,Liberty and property you are not a conservative.

Any one of the other candidates include McCain, would be better on National Security than Rudy. And I don't believe he is a fiscal conservative. Any one from NYC can't have a clue what fiscal conservatism is.

Yes Life is a huge issue and I wished it concerned you that we have murdered over 50 million of our citizens, but that might be too much to ask. But why ditch atleast 30 % of the Republican voters because you think its such a small problem?

[flashbunny]

Rudy is such a “law and order” conservative that he fought the feds all the way to the supreme court to maintain NY’s sanctuary city policy. When he lost, he disobeyed the law still!

So much for law and order.

And he was all for providing services to illegal immigrants an their children.

So much for “fiscal conservatism”

[narses]

He is a thug. A coward. A liar. Corrupt. And despicable.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Arnold would be a better President than Rudy. Of course, I agree with you, I would never want him to be president.

Where does supporting government funding for abortion for poor women fall on the old collectivist scale?
