——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? ...”——
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.Take heed, ye who wrongly and dishonorably occupy the Senatorial chambers and all other positions of public trust. Take heed, Citizens!!
