From another with 10 years of freeping, very well said.
So the kids hear about limited government from a guy no one thinks has a chance to win, but he gets more hate per thread here than HITLERY or her husband! I have never seen such schizophrenia on FR.
We are in a life and death struggle to LIMIT GOVERNMENT. We will lose this county from within rather than from without if we let ourselves be so damn afraid of Islamofascists that we drop out of the civil war we have been fighting for years with FDR socialists and Hillery fascists and all the RINOs that keep “making nice” to them.
My own party, which I helped put back in power in 1994 with my blood, sweat, tears, prayers, and money, has not even kept its contract with me to get rid of the “National Endowment for the Arts” that takes money from We the People and gives it to “artists” to put a crucifix in a jar of urine! Come on, we can’t even win a SYMBOLIC victory? The NEA is still right there in all its illegality because of the RINOs in power right now, and if you withhold your taxes that go to the NEA, the Feds will come against you with deadly force.
And the Department of Education that we were going to get rid of...oh, yeah, never mind, we have “the education president” so it’s fine to steal our money at gunpoint and force one-size-fits-all back-east-style Federal education on Texas. Just little examples among a zillion of how we have gained almost NOTHING with the status quo running things, just a slower slide into the same damn socialism. Thanks guys—not.
The majority of the “Republicans” running right now are in essence “developmentally delayed Democrats” whose present views and plans and opinions will lead in ten years to the EXACT same place that the Hilleryfascists advocate now. It’s obvious!
Limited government means limited government. There is only one candidate running right now who has stuck to his principles over the YEARS to promote limited government both in congress and through his educational foundations. He has taught many people about limited government. Thank God some people are still listening to those ideas and are not so artificially macho and cowed by fear of third world countries like Iran that they can’t see the good in those ideas.
Let the kids learn about limited government and long for it; and let their heroes be Real Republicans who actually are committed to it, not RINOs who have never actually even READ their Republican State Party Platform to see how dismally we are measuring up to our own ideals! (Oh yeah, forgot, that’s real hard to find in a package nowadays, and impossible to find among the “frontrunners”.)
If you can’t get national security right, you won’t be trusted with anything else.
Ron Paul is suicidal on national security. Any Republican can sell the smaller government plan to Republican voters. If Ron Paul could sell those ideas in Washington DC, he would have at some point over his 30 year career in Washington.
Get a clue...
Nobody here is against smaller government and for Hitlery. We’re just not for Bin Laden either. We’d rather blow up their stuff than our own.
Amen to your post!
I recognize and share your frustration with the GOP. However, RP is not the man to support. I’m not sure he, in your words, draws more hate than Hillary. IMHO, the reason RP draws some much attention here on FR is that most freepers are sick and tired of the RP supporters trying to cast a wacko as the second coming of Ronald Reagan. To use RP’s own words, it’s a ‘blowback’ thing.
You say RP’s for limited government and that’s good. The problem is he would throw out the things we need from government like a sound national defense in his crusade to return our government to the status of the 1850s.
