“But only a small-government liberty agenda is going to beat the Xlinton machine.”

A liberty driven constitutionally restricted fed.gov should not be debatable. But I’m witnessing many here (on a conservative forum,) as well as the majority of liberal voters, viewing our future proper as continuing down the road to a socially progressive quasi communistic like totalitarian state.

In the end, we've traded a small-government party in the pre-Bush era which made small but significant limitations on the growth of the liberal statists for a big-government party fighting a guns-and-butter war, itching to attack Iran and with our troops and reserves stretched to the limit.

FreeRepublic is hardly recognizable these days. No vets threads, few gun threads, advocacy for big-government, party-over-principle at every turn. We've lost many of those who were so extremely skilled at deciphering executive orders (within minutes of their publication) and unraveling subtle and hidden libmedia bias.

Still, I stick around, hoping we'll return to our pro-Constitution, small-government, pro-liberty roots. My hope is sustained by the fact that JimRob has never really retreated from those ideals for the forum. I begin to think we'll rediscover all those virtues only when all three branches of government are held by the evil Dims and we see a President Hillary wielding the power we've granted and encouraged the public to accept from Bush.

I know, I know, consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds...LOL.
