If they are not conservatives, it really doesn’t matter if we win the elections. No more RINO’s. I refuse to vote for any liberal anymore, whether they are Republican or not. I will not donate money to the Republican party, I will not vote period if there are no conservatives on the ballot. I will no longer play the game, I will have little nor no income to tax, will try to become self sufficient in all ways and screw your country and it’s government.
I know how much you enjoyed seeing Sarah up and close. I was so tickled that you got to do that!
As to the women who do not like her, we pretty much know the reasons for that. Liberal women don’t like a down to earth happy looking woman who has it all. Faith, beauty, family, and status.
“At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country, of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further, and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction, without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient, for everything we have now to consider, that all children, born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction, are themselves citizens.’ Minor v. Happersett (1874) 21 Wall. 162, 166-168.”
Rep. John Bingham of Ohio, considered the father of the Fourteenth Amendment, confirms the understanding and construction the framers used in regards to birthright and jurisdiction while speaking on civil rights of citizens in the House on March 9, 1866:
" ... I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents [plural, meaning two] not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen..."

U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark's importance is that it is the first case decided by the Supreme Court that attempts to explain the meaning of "natural born citizen" under Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution. Natural born citizen is similiar to the meaning of what a natural born subject is under Common Law in England. That is one of the reasons why the framers specifically included a grandfather clause (natural born Citizen OR a Citizen of the United States, at the time of adoption of this Constitution). The founding fathers knew that in order to be president, they had to grandfather themselves in because they were British subjects. If they didn't, they could not be President of the U.S. The holding in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark states that Wong Kim Ark is a native born citizen. If you look at the fact of Wong Kim Ark being born in San Francisco, CA, that holding is correct. [[Native born, not natural born]]
Neither of Bobby's parents were yet American citizens when he was born. 'Natural born' is a special category for prersidential eligibility.
I cannot remember the last rant I’ve read that was so well expressed! Congrats ... and dittos.
Limbaugh’s CPAC address today hit most of the right issues, points, and themes. He made the point about nominating the right candidate.
I’m still in love with Palin..... she still gets my vote.
Solidwood...well yes.
Thanks for the thread. I just now saw it posted. I think he nails it again. What a comparison.
Agreed. Saw Sarah and that other guy in Grand Rapids, MI and the crowd was clearly there to see Sarah.
That’s a load of crap.
You don’t really think you can bully people on the internet into supporting Palin do you? Reality check, there is no bus, you aren’t the driver, and Palin is not anyone’s leader outside of the state of Alaska. You don’t have any authority to tell anyone to sit down, shut up, or get off the bus that exists only your mind. Why don’t you join the chic in the previous Palin thread who listed how hot she was 3 times in her list. That’s typical of Palin’s support, and you wonder why others haven’t joined? Lol, give me a break.
Please get off the bus at the next stop. We like Palin, and if liberals like yourself don’t like it, well, that’s your funeral.
Palin is hot, isn’t she ? Or do I have bad eyes.
You are like the lucifer of Free Republic. You kind of show up in the garden and tempt conservatives to your tree of knowledge. because you know it all !
The Palin-aversion is a reaction to a “peasant” trespassing on Elite Territory [both Left and Right intellectuals] - the governance of the drooling masses.
Hardly true.
Though some of her supporters such as Rush Limbaugh and R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. occasionally comment on her comely appearance, some, like Thomas Sowell abstain from doing so. The focus of these men, and many others, though is always on her intelligence and political/governing abilities, which they unanimously concur are admirable and more than apt.
Perhaps you would warm up to her if she ceased bathing and had her body covered with tattoos and piercings?

[A clique. A snooty, catty...]
Lol, that has become the norm anymore.
Good graphic.
