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!

The problem is I don’t believe he has really had a conversion on abortion. I believe his change was purely for political gain. And I have yet to see anything otherwise.

The exact point of my second paragraph.

“Why would I sympathize with someone for breaking the law?”

“but, the rules are the rules, follow them or pay the price.”


Because the law is communistic. It really is simple.

You know the ‘rules’. Follow or pay? No sympathy that someone is being compelled to pay for insurance?

You do have socialistic tendencies, you just don’t know it.

Please tell me what the definition of “rebel” is, point me to the post where JR makes it perfectly clear....I’m asking a simple question, why do you want to be argumentative about it........and don’t say I disagreewith conservative deals, I am asking a simple question, no one wants to answer it, everyone wants to jump on their high horse, just show me the post where it is explained so I can find the answer,,,,,,,,

You just can't take a hint, can you?

You don't know when to back off.

I don't trust you.

There are those here who are working to promote candidates such as Romney, whose success would be at the price of our moving forward with a real conservative. The number of threads that are pro-Romney is of concern if we are looking to win with a conservative in 2012.

Well said, trisham.

In this battle for conserving American Liberty, you are either with us or against us!

There is no safe middle ground. No compromise! No surrender! No retreat!

Do NOT tread on me!!

Considering the way that they’ve been treated, I wouldn’t blame them from dropping out entirely.

Oh? How have they been treated by conservatives?

He can’t. It is just another lie that they keep telling themselves (and us) to bolster Myth.

The CFG was actually started just to derail the presidential ambitions of Duncan Hunter.

Haha! It all comes clear now! :D

Your son had ample opportunity and ample warning about having health insurance in MA,

- - - - - - -

The point is he should NOT be penalized for not “following the program”. He should have a say in his healthcare, not the government telling him what to do.

I do have health insurance, and I should not be forced to. I do not go to doctors (if I can at all help it) and prefer alternative medicine.

I see much of western medicine and our view of doctors to be idolatry.

Much of western medicine offends you?

Well, when you get cancer, heart disease, hypertension,,you might find it less offensive.

And if you think docs are idolized now, you are so out of the loop it is laughable.

Given Mitt's tendency towards liberal ideals, I don't think he would get an invite...

Wait, I take that back, I am sure he is "paid up", so all is good. Zero account balances are next to godliness...

Do you know me? How do you know what health issues i may have/had?

My mother was told she had 3 days to live. She left the hospital expecting to die. She tried alternative therapies as a last ditch effort. She lived. That was 18 years ago.

How am I out of the loop? National Healthcare WILL BE A DISASTER.

I am serious, many treat doctors like they are their God. I only have one God.

My sister is a very close friend of the Romney family thru the Mormon church ... and I still wouldn’t vote for him

I wouldn't vote for him if he were my sister.

I wonder if campaign contributions counts as gross income for tithing?

Jim Robinson: “Free Republic is a conservative site. That does not necessarily mean it is a Republican site.”

luvbach1: “As tantalizing as it may be, a third party route would only split the conservative vote and make it even easier for the Demonrats to win. And they already have the huge, built-in advantage of the people’s ignorance.”

SeattleBruce: “In the history of the United States, not a single third party has come close to winning the presidency, only 7 3rd parties have even won a single states electoral votes and only 5 third parties have won even 10% of the vote.

I advocate for an inside/outside the party frontal assault on the Republican party. Support true conservatives - even as independents or through 3rd party vehicles as needed, but also support true conservatives within the R party. Doing this will drive the R party back toward Conservatives and the movement can then ascend to national prominence once again. Failure to do this - in the light of history and reality of the winner takes all political structure of the US will mean the socialists win for the next 25 or 50 years. No one wants that right?

This may not be a Republican party site - but it should be a break the back of the Republican party just to spite the noses on our faces site - given what is true about political history. It should be a frontal assault on RINOs and liars in the R party site - and one that helps force the party back into the hands of Conservatives and whatever Conservative 3rd party coaltion exists at the time when national power is possible again.

The Republican Party is not the Party I joined over thirty years ago. At least not the party I thought I was joining. I didn’t know anything about “country club Republicans,”

Skip, there were more liberals in the Republican thirty years ago than there are today.
