I simply zot them.
I like your style.

With the purposeful misrepresentation of the Tea Party by the media, your summation is perfect and truly embraces ALL that the Tea Party stands for (not simply fiscal and economic issues).
As a Viet Nam veteran, I especially appreciate and applaud your blessing on America and what has made her strong and free!
See post #200.
I’ll tell you what. Rather than you telling us to take a hike, how about you taking a hike. I make no bones about FR being a pro-God, pro-life, pro-Liberty site. It’s on our front page. Those who can’t handle that fact should not post here. They should definitely not try to tell us how to go about our business. Buzz off RINO!
The Federal Right to my hard earned dollars can be found in the the 16th Amendment. I don't like it, but there it is.
The Federal Right to an abortion is nowhere in the Constitution.
There is a right to life in the 5th and 14th Amendments.
That's the difference.
Works for me!
But someone’s gotta help them show their true colors, if you grasp my meaning...
That was my point with my innocuous post. Glad you finally got it, but that is where you should have STOPPED!
Let me reemphasize. Social and fiscal conservatism together is what is at the core of our founding documents --- the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are not ambiguous in that regard. Limited government, life and liberty for ALL.
There is no separating of the issues for our Founding Fathers or for us constitutional conservatives today. That is a fact of life.
I hear you.
Yes, conservatives are winning within certain house districts but in others no. That’s excellent with fiscal issues primary, not social issues. Fiscal first, social second.
I agree. And sooner or later the 16th Amendment needs to be repealed.
You don’t seem to be getting the message here.
I’m a conservative all the way, just realistic as to what can be done at this point in time, the rest later. There is no argument here, as least from me - it’s just timing with the end game and goal the same.
You don’t give up, do you.
Only in ultra, ultra leftist regions of the country do RINOs win.
And RINOs do very badly in presidential elections.
Just because you’re a social liberal, you see with colored glasses and think most people are, when you are wrong.
If abandoning the unborn is what it takes to win, this country deserves to die. Taking our country back also includes defeating the immoral and evil people, including so-called conservatives or libertarians that think killing babies is okay. I'm tea party but I will fight anyone to keep them from getting the nomination that is a social liberal. A conservative who is pro-abortion, pro-gay,etc is just as evil as any liberal. They are responsible for destroying our country, fiscal considerations aside.
How does timing on addressing social issue make me a social liberal? First things first and right now social issues are second to fiscal issues when it comes to getting something done, now.
Tell me you are in favor of getting rid of socialistic security and you get upgraded to the good stuff
Otherwise if you simply abolish them, we are in a position of taking money that people paid into these programs and using that money to expand the government somewhere else.
That being said, the REASON that Social Security and Medicare are on the verge of bankruptcy is because an ENTIRE GENERATION of taxpayers who would fund it was murdered. Without Roe v. Wade, Social Security and Medicare would be solvent.
What is your definition of “conservative”?
If I’ve even implied that anyone should take a hike here, I apologize - that wasn’t my intention. Perhaps it’s something to do with living in California - one starts to try to sort out what can be done if anything, but that’s no excuse.
The end game comes down to supporting either political expediency or political principles as a guiding force. Example, do you support Reaganism or Trumpism?
I say principles trump expediency all day long. How bout you?
