BURNIN' DOWN THE TENT!!!
Do we want action? Yes, we do!!!
Are we willing to take a giant step forward and create a central action site that allows us to see at a glance every single state’s candidates for national office, House and Senate, to separate the wheat from the chaff? That is our hope. We want to spend our money, our time, and our votes wisely. Our time is JUST as valuable as the money we spend.
The goal is to take back and take over the GOP, or move it out of the way, and elect conservatives to every office we can affect whether the RNC likes it or not.
To do this, we need a clearinghouse and a plan of action that encompasses all 50 states in ONE place. That place is Free Republic. THIS is where we nationalize the 2010 election cycle and choose where our money and our time is spent. The genius of Free Republic is that it already has the 50 state message boards. We don’t have to “google” our way through hundreds of candidates in individual states to find out who is who doing what. It’s already here, just not out in the public eye. This will change that.
I, and others, have repeatedly asked Freepers to present workable ideas with this goal in mind, and there have been many, but the two I am going to post here are comprehensive, have been well thought out over a long period of time, and the magic of it is that it has never been tried before...and THAT is precisely why it will work.
Freeper blueyon, (the originator of RINO FREE AMERICA PROJECT on FaceBook,) and I have worked on the idea to have each state message board create individual STATE BY STATE threads on the forum which presents information ONLY about their national congressional candidates.
We need their candidates’ names, pictures, platforms, voting records, (if applicable,) backgrounds, opinions, newslinks, statements, and whatever other information might be available including links to candidate’s’ websites if they exist.
The state message boards are full of much of this information and no one knows local politics like the locals. It’s time to make local politics national, and here is where we do it. Fifty states, fifty threads, ALL politics will be Free Republic Local politics.
Freepers have the best researchers in the business. We need that right here, right now if we are going to burn down the RINO tent and do it effectively. They will NOT be allowed to silence us again.
Those threads will be information only. Conservative candidates will be flagged and RINOs will be tagged. Anyone who wishes to debate or discuss individual candidates can start a separate thread for that here, AND/OR on the RINO FREE discussion board on FaceBook as well.
I expect these threads to become lengthy, so be sure to add the state and candidate's name as keywords.
The SECOND part of this plan is a NATIONAL strategy for accomplishing our goal once we have singled out the candidates we choose to support and gather THOSE candidates on to ONE thread. It is our intent to coordinate efforts with the National Tea Party Movement and have them link to our information as well as share whatever info they might have that we don’t...although I find that next to impossible knowing Freepers. There just might be tidbits of inside information we might not have access to, so contributions from outside Freeperdom will be researched by us FOR us and we will do well not to post rumor or inuendo if we have no proof.
The National Action plan is the sole hard work of a longtime Freeper who has asked to remain anonymous. It is his work and since he first sent it to me, he has updated it several times for the better. I neither take, nor deserve, any credit for it whatsover, and only on that basis did I accept the invitation to present it as I saw fit.
I have opted to make only the smallest changes to his ideas as they seem to me to be the stepstones of the future. However he did specifically ask that any constructive criticisms or additional ideas be sought and wants it known that this is a foundation we can build on. He has added reasons, including some from Scripture, for these ideas which are included in the body of information presented below. Many of you will find them relevant. Those who don’t will still find the ideas themselves worth your time. I am awed by the effort put forth here which is why I have left it pretty much in tact with minimal edits. I think you will be as well.
With that said, and without further adieu, continue on and see what ideas suit you best.
Mesta Rocks!!!
Islamburg is not too far away from us to the north.
Haven’t read this thread for a couple of days and CAN NOT believe how far from the original intent it has strayed!
I thought the idea of selecting and electing conservatives was an important issue. As Rush says, “Conservatism works every time it’s tried.”
I didn’t read each and every post because frankly I couldn’t understand how the twisted remarks I did read applied to the thread. They were not thought provoking and bordered on hateful, IMHO.
MM...I am so sorry you’ve had to defend yourself and others that contributed so much and care so much about our country. I like the expression *lead, follow or get out of the way*. Lead on.
islam is not even mentioned in post #8
You said count you out. We said okay. Get out. Okay?
BTW. Are you a man or a woman?
ROFLLLLLLL!!!!!
Nor do they give a rat’s @** about our Constitution except to use it as a soapbox in a trial. We defend their religious rights?! Give me a BIG freakin’ break. They decapitate us for our’s.
Exactly.
I have never seen a mosque that wasn’t a huge complex.
:-D
Here's another:
The Centers for Disease Control said a passenger with tuberculosis has been detained after boarding a flight from Philadelphia to San Francisco despite being on a "do-not-board" list.
Wrong! We are not defending Islam, we are defending the Constitution, specifically the First Amendment guarantee of Religious Liberty. I could give a damn about Islam and quite frankly I have stated on several posts my distain for Islamic teachings. Neverthless, the First Amendment guarantees people the right to be wrong and the right to espouse teachings that Americans in general might find both offensive and intolerable. At least one poster on this thread made the suggestion that the Constitution was not designed to protect the rights of non-Judeo Christian religions.
If we expect Muslims to tolerate the rights of Christians in countries in which they are the majority, then we cannot advocate that this country, in which the Muslims are the minority must be the target of religious intolerance, even if the Islamic religion itself is intolerant.
The first amendment does not state that only those religions which were prominent in the United States in 1789 will be "tolerated". If that were the case, then Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and nearly all non-denominational Christian Churches would be given second class status under the First Amendment. The Founders were well aware of the dangers of Islamic teachings, yet they did not take their fear to the point where they made an exception to the First Amendment for Islam. They espoused the principle that in order to be a truly free people, we must be willing to tolerate some ideas and beliefs that run counter to what we as Americans believe and what we as Americans stand for.
We do not need to become like the Muslims in order to keep our Republic. They can believe in their idea of an American Islamic Utopia and I am not threatened by that belief as I have faith that Americans will reject such a concept outright and they don't need any help from THE STATE to accomplish that rejection. Our Republic is not in danger from the Muslims. It is in danger from do-gooder Statists who want to use the power of Government to turn this nation into a Socialist Utopia. Right now nearly 50% of Americans are on the verge of buying into that notion and yet we have Freepers advocating that the Nanny State protect us from the ideas of Muslims, who make up less than 1% of the population of this country and of those I suspect that only about 1% want to see it turned into the Islamic Paradise that you guys are all panicking about to the point where you are willing to toss the First Amendment under the bus and give the State the power to determine which religions are going to be protected by the First Amendment and which are not.
If I haven't made myself clear, let me know and I'll be more than happy to post another dissertation.
PETN was the undie bomber’s destruction of choice
You cannot refute anything I posted about Islam, can you.
Islam does not recognize YOUR constitution, nor does it recognize YOUR laws.
It only recognizes its own.
IF you are going to claim Islam is a religion, which it is not, and allow it under ‘freedom of religion’, then you have to allow for their beliefs and practices.
So you are going on the record here saying that you are okay with Muslims owning slaves, raping women, commiting murder of Christians, etc etc?
That IS what you are saying by the way.
Sorry, I meant post #4.
You said count you out. We said okay. Get out. Okay?
Does that mean that whatever political movement you are advocating is one in which an integral part of the platform is going to be the prohibiting of the building of Mosques in America?
BTW. Are you a man or a woman?
Yes.
That's great Lady! What religion are you defending?
We're trying to stop a theocracy from getting a bigger foothold in the US like it has in europe.
