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.
Har!!!
Share and share alike, babe! You know how we do!
If restriction of Religious Freedom is part of any party or movement's platform then, yes, you can count me out.
Religious Liberty is the Cornerstone of the Republic.
Without Religious Liberty you are doomed to all manner of Tyranny.
Yes, it is THAT important to me, and it should be THAT important to everyone.
Personally, I don’t consider a place where people go to incite murder/war against the American people a legitimate house of worship. Do you?
You don't outlaw the building of religious houses of worship, you outlaw the incitement to murder and war against the American People. As far as I can tell, that is the current state of the law.
Perhaps we need better enforcement to ensure that that kind of rhetoric is not preached from the pulpits of the Churches or Mosques, but if you recall, Jeremiah Wright has been preaching that kind of hatred from a so-called Christian Church, has he not? Should we then prevent the Church of Christ, the denomination to which he is affiliated, from building Churches simply because there are Jeremiah Wrights among its leadership?
Sorry I may disagree with the Muslims on their religious beliefs, but I will defend to the death their right to believe it. When the Muslim tramps on my rights as a Christian, you can bet I will be there to defend to the death the Christian's right to believe what they believe.
We elected you on a promise of hope and change. We regret it. In 2010, we are taking the country back. Blue collar democrats, independents, and conservatives. We love our country. We are proud of our founders. And we will fight to protect our traditions.
“Sorry I may disagree with the Muslims on their religious beliefs, but I will defend to the death their right to believe it. When the Muslim tramps on my rights as a Christian, you can bet I will be there to defend to the death the Christian’s right to believe what they believe.”
Odd phraseology since defending their right to kill you to YOUR death is eminently possible.
Have you watched the news today? In Malaysia, muslims are rioting because Christians dared to call GOD Allah.
Did you see that Coptic Christians were just murdered in their CHURCH in Egypt?
They have already staged several attacks on Jewish places of worship here in this country. Are you going to defend them when they attack a Christian church that is not of your denomination? Where do you draw your line?

Excellent video at your link. I just wish it was somewhere besides youtube. Anything google makes the left that much richer. It’s just a shame.

Okay. Thanks for that advice. So stick them on the outside. I have had flyers stuck in my own mailbox. Others get them inside their stormdoors. Who enforces that?
I am defending their right to believe, not their right to kill. I am sorry if you can't see the difference.
Did you see that Coptic Christians were just murdered in their CHURCH in Egypt?
That is the kind of thing we will see here if Mosques are outlawed. Do you support the killing of Muslims on the streets of Detroit? Well if you endorse a systematic discrimination against American Muslims then you will likely see the kind of bloodshed against Muslims by people claiming to be Good Americans that you see in Egypt being acted out by "Good Muslims" against Christians and which was acted out by "Good Germans" against the Jews.
If this movement has at its core the principle that America will not allow the building of Mosques, then I will not be a part of that movement. Religious liberty requires a wide latitude of tolerance by all members of a society. We can outlaw religious practices that violate our morals and as such we can outlaw animal sacrifices and slavery and wife beating, but we go over the line when we outlaw the building of religious buildings or outlaw the traditional teachings of any religion.
For instance Muslims are free to believe that a man can have 4 wives, but they are not free to practice that belief (unless those 4 wives are all transgendered or the same sex as the Husband). They are free to believe that infidels and should be treated as slaves, but they are not free to own infidels as slaves.

Someone should have told bam’s daddy.

BURNIN' DOWN THE TENT!
"The Camel's nose is a metaphor for a situation where permitting some small undesirable situation will allow gradual and unavoidable worsening. A typical usage is this, from U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater in 1958:
"This bill and the foregoing remarks of the majority remind me of an old Arabian proverb: "If the camel once gets his nose in the tent, his body will soon follow." If adopted, the legislation will mark the inception of aid, supervision, and ultimately control of education in this country by the federal authorities."
"According to Geoffrey Nunberg, the image entered the English language in the middle of the 19th century. An early example is a fable printed in 1858 in which an Arab miller allows a camel to stick its nose into his bedroom, (then its head, its neck,) then other parts of its body, until the camel is entirely inside and refuses to leave.
"Lydia Sigourney wrote another version, a widely reprinted poem for children, in which the camel enters a shop because the workman does not forbid it at any stage.
"By 1878, the expression was familiar enough that part of the story could be left unstated. "It is the humble petition of the camel, who only asks that he may put his nose into the traveler's tent. It is so pitiful, so modest, that we must needs relent and grant it."
Yes. And this is my newest favorite song. :)
