Unlike Romney's "National Council for a New America," Free Republic is a conservative site!
Refer to Romney's Council for a New American Socialist State formed in HIS Image ^ | May 2, 2009 | Jim Robinson

I'm going to try one more time to explain what FR is all about.

Free Republic is a conservative site. That does not necessarily mean it is a Republican site. In fact there may be many Republicans we don't support and some Republican issues we cannot agree with.

I'll throw in Arlen Specter as a prime example of a Republican we cannot support. Should be obvious to all why not. Should also be just as obvious to all that we cannot support Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, John McCain and his lap dog Lindsay Graham, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, et al.

Some of the issues we cannot support as conservatives even though sometimes initiated by so-called Republicans include TARP, or any kind of government bailout of private enterprise, federal intrusion into free markets, federalized education systems, government provided or controlled health care systems, abortion, gay marriage, amnesty, global warming, gun control, etc.

I guess there is more than one definition of conservatism floating around out there, and this won't be text book, but the one we use involves defending, preserving and protecting our constitution, our unalienable rights, our traditional family values, our American heritage, our nation, our borders and our sovereignty.

We aggressively defend our rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness!

We aggressively defend our rights to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to keep and bear arms, right to due process, right to equality under the law, right to be governed under the rule of law, right to constitutionally limited government, right to corruption free government, right to self-government and our private property rights, etc.

We also aggressively defend our right to state and local government for all issues not expressly delegated to the central government by the constitution.

We aggressively defend our rights to free markets and our rights to live our lives free of government intrusion, interference, coercion, force, or abuse of any kind.

We aggressively defend our rights to national sovereignty, state sovereignty and individual sovereignty!

And this definition also includes aggressively fighting against all enemies foreign and domestic who may try to deprive us of our rights or sovereignty. This would obviously include all foreign enemies, but also we defend against RINOS, Democrats, liberals, socialists, Marxists, communists, militant feminists or homosexualists, radical environmentalists, etc, etc, etc.

And we expect our elected representatives to also aggressively defend our rights and fight against all enemies foreign and domestic. We do not elect people and send them to DC or our state capitals, etc, to reach across the aisles or to be bipartisan or to negotiate or compromise away our rights. If you're not going to aggressively fight for us, and for our rights, STAY OUT!!

We bow to no king but God!

Our God-given unalienable rights are NOT negotiable!

Do NOT Tread on US!

Thank you very much!

I agree with you that our language has coarsened over the years, and that is not acceptable. However, what we are talking about here is important, and what is being said may transcend our usual discretion.

Good Lord, you’re dense.

Yep, this is getting to be a lot like having a "debate" with a three year old on why they can't play with matches.

Nice...

I guess once the left instills anti freedom of speech laws on the “right wing” (us, well most of us), you'll be saying the same thing...

Still did not explain supporting the one who created the very thing you "oppose"...

NO you haven’t proven anything except to say a bunch of people got together, exchanged phone numbers, gave out literature. A feel good social event. Success takes time, you can’t say they were successful because right now nothing has come out of it except a bunch of people feeling good, no change has taken place. Talk about dense.

To: perfect_rovian_storm

the whole straw man argument that anyone who dislikes Myth Romney is a Huckabee supporter also is a common tactic of the shills and it’s a pretty vapid one,
_____________________________________________

Yes, we were told we had “gone over to the dark side” if we were not going to vote for Romney...

The “dark side” was sometimes refered to as “planning to vote for Huckabee”

Regardless of how many times I said I was going to vote for or had voted for Duncan Hunter, those ijits kept up their garbage...

Regardless of the fact I went to another state to help Duncan hunter, I was told I was a Huckabee supporter..

Regardless of the fact I called them all RINO Quintuplets in the threads...Romney, huckabee, McCain, Paul, Gulianni...

I have seeen a couple of those MIttWits or their buddies kissing up to Jim on these new threads threads...

Hopefully they will be properly outed...

Would make a great law firm name - the best and the brightest. I should say 'most courageous' - we know they are open to ridicule and they could give a rip.

And what EXACTLY do YOU propose we do? Should we just cross our fingers and hope that Romney and the other RINOs don't completely screw us?

All you've done on this thread is ask the same question over and over and then whined that we haven't accomplished anything. Why don't you step up to the plate and tell us what you think should be done? Or are you satisfied with the current state of affairs?

*******************

I disagree. This was not a social event, and to try to diminish it as such is a mistake.

I'm not sure what you want of them and us at this point. We may be in the infancy of a very important change in the way that the Right behaves, or has behaved for a very long time. We should not be so impatient that we destroy our hope of coming together to bring conservative candidates back to the forefront.

Stop listening to/reading the MSM! The tea parties ARE working!

349,000 Independence Day tea party references on Google

Many references to groups who plan to march/protest in D.C.
