“mob mentality driving away good...conservatives”

Is this the mob mentalilty you’re thinking of:

“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? ...”

You obviously missed the fact that I don't support Rudy.

But thanks for your testimonial anyway..............I think.

(btw, none of that had anything to do with the mob mentality I'm referring to).

We cannot accept it.

We have to work against it.

Lines have to be drawn in the sand.

JimRob lanced a boil.

Some people got caught up in the spray, and reacted badly, even though they weren’t particularly the target.

Some people got sprayed on, even though it was just overspray, and not aimed at them, but they behaved like it.

Some people ran and impaled themselves on the needle like they wanted it.

But the truth is, JimRob has drawn a needed line in the sand.

How far do we compromise? There is a point where you realize that those that want to undercut you have moved you so far off the base that was your foundation that you are no longer standing on anything more than a party name.


Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.
Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833
