apparently, that has pissed off a lot of big tent, true blue RINO types and the herd is stampeding. Let them go.
***but, but, but I’m a big tent republican

Im a big tent republican.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1821435/posts?page=6245#6245
Heres an analogy to work with. Take a small box and fill it with some rocks. Then add some rice, filling it to the top. Now take all the same stuff, but in a different order. Put in the rice first, then add the rocks. What youll find is that if you put in the big stuff first, the small stuff will fit around it. But if you put in the small stuff first, the big stuff wont have room. The republican tent is the box. The Big issues are the socon issues, to be put in first. The little issues are things that can be accommodated around the bigger stuff. A candidate who tries to focus on the smaller issues first and leave out the bigger issues has no way of getting all of us into the tent. He splits the party. The candidate who gets the big stuff right and as much of the little stuff that will fit, he can fit more into the tent. Were often amazed at how much rice can keep fitting in. Rudy Giuliani flunks some of the big issues, and on some of the little issues it looks to me like anyone elses rice would do just as well. All that remains for us to agree on is which are the bedrock principles and which are not. Why would there be so much invective aimed at rudy from the right? Because there are some bedrock principles that he is leaving out. Bad move. I see rudybot postings all the time saying that they would vote for Hunter, and I see socon postings that say they would not vote for rudy. Thats a BIG indicator of a few bedrock principles that are being left outside the tent in order to let in some rice.

Well said.
Of course there is a difference IMO between the homosexuals I know (family and friends) who go about their lives versus the homosexuals who flaunt their lifestyle and demand that we accept it and change one of the most basic foundations of human civilization (marriage) to accomidate their lifestyle. The Republicans who want to give up in social issues don’t understand that family structure and economics are LINKED !

I remember the day I met Jim. My son drove me all the way to D.C. for the House Manager’s Rally and dinner. Got to meet a lot of Freepers as well as Congressmen. It was a great event. I was cleaning out a closet just yesterday and cam across one of our poster’s for the event. Remember the one of George Washington with the tear drop? I had collected autographs from all those congressmen, but the one I am most proud of is Jim Robinson, and second is Henry Hyde.

The time for talking is over. Now we need to walk the walk.That always seperates the wheat from the chaff.
Why should FR use its limited resources to allow liberals, homosexualists, abortionists, big spenders, big taxers, big government solutions advocates, gun grabbers, pacifists, isolationists, environmentalists, open-borders lobbyists, etc, ply their trade on FR? Well, more and more lately, we don't. And, apparently, that has pissed off a lot of big tent, true blue RINO types and the herd is stampeding.

FR has been my home-page for as long as I've been online--starting back sometime in '98--and it is my main source for news and commentary! It has truly been a wonderful blessing for me, as I know it has for so many fellow freepers!
So--God bless the "founding fathers" of this FreeRepublic, and all those who defend and support her!

Why should FR use its limited resources to allow liberals, homosexualists, abortionists, big spenders, big taxers, big government solutions advocates, gun grabbers, pacifists, isolationists, environmentalists, open-borders lobbyists, etc, ply their trade on FR?
Correct. Freerepublic cannot be "these are my principles. If you don't like them, I got others"
it is not possible to be liberal and be conservative, so they are out
I like the key word you used "homosexualISTS" -- FR is not against those who have the tendency, but against those who want to have gay pride parades and destroy traditional marriage
abortionists = supporting killing babies <> conservatives.
big, big, big -- all three are against conservative values
environmentalISTs --> again the same point of the above ISTS. A true conservative 'conserves' the environment but doesn't believe in big govt telling them what to do and is not going to make a religion out of it

To: southernsunshine
it’s good to know that sites like this are about. I’ve given up getting my news from even FOX and talk radio for the most part now as they have all become cowards when it comes to social conservatism.
They run away from the homomafia and live in fear of being called a name by a corrupt MSM.
Conservatism is not just fiscal it is social too and the backbone of this country has always been family, a traditional family. The left knows this and this is why they refer back to rules 25 /26 etc from their rule book.
http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm.
The media have been infiltrated as has many churches.
Places like this still stand against them and let us hope that all of us will stand together and fight the left back to where we get our country back. Not just talk or debate but get more active like Jim has said.
Yes they have tried all the time and will try to infiltrate this site but a good cleaning out like Jim did got rid of many. They’ll come back I’m sure under a different name pretending to a conservative but will say that two men together were born like that or we have to stop with the social talk as it will not help us. bla bla bla.
Imagine instead of your local rep getting 5 calls about a bill he or she now gets 1,000 calls from us off here a day.
You can bet he or she will take notice. This is what the left does and especially the homomafia thus making it look like a bill is popular when it it not.
Thanks for the ;ping suunshine
