NOTICE: FR DOES NOT AND WILL NOT SUPPORT ABORTIONIST, GAY RIGHTS PUSHING BIG GOVERNMENT STATISTS FOR PRESIDENT!!
This message is intended for those posters on FR who seem to have missed my prior statements in this regard and insist on advocating for these bastards.
I'd rather shut the place down than be involved in any effort to install abortionist/gay rights pushing RINOS like Romney or Giuliani into the White House!!
Do NOT push this crap on FR. Take your business elsewhere!! And I don't care how long you've been here!!
YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS

That’s to make it easier to read between the lines.
Not much can hide there.
(At least that’s how it seems to me.)
Your mileage may vary.
Find it yourself!
I’m waiting for Beast and a Half!

From a retread most likely
GOP...
Gutless
Old
Progressives
You would not believe how many times I have gotten flamed by the libertarian fringe that trolls FR ... Does not matter how well-reasoned the logic against them ... They go bonkers when you call a spade a spade.
FR will attack just about anything. Grow a thick skin and just state your opinion.
The revolutionaries of course. You do realize that only about a 1/3 of the colonist were for The Declaration of Independence! I’m for the Constitution first. the problem we have is you have all these moderates and liberals on the East and Left Coast. I will be for any true Conservative and or Tea Party candidate in the Primaries. Having said that if Rudy or Mitt end up with the nomination I will vote for them over Zero!
You think that you get flamed by libertarians you should see what I get when I post their party platforms, and names of some of the people that are public libertarians.
sfl
I’ve been looking for this one
a goody from 2008
an out-of-control Romney meltdown
the bit at the end where Romney chases this poor guy around the store is missing but the reporter mentions it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NLo7nnHgfs
Romney and Julie-Annie can’t win, and they are RINO statists.
Julie-Annie’s recent movements towards announcement are troubling. They can only serve as a diversion from genuine, acceptable conservative candidates which is why the mainstream media is pushing him.
Aside from their unacceptable politics, they are OLD FISH!!!
Old Fish NEVER sell!!!
I’m not big on that one, I like the real clear gotchas.
Ok heres take Video with the end bit
Romney meltdown

No country, no government, no societyand no individualmay claim the authority to divorce personal morality from government. While individual human beings each possesses free will to choose right from wrong, yet none may ever claim a “right” to choose wrong, no matter the circumstance, and yet this gross distortion of liberty is the central premise behind the libertarian movement.
Morality and civics are inseparable. Both are requisite aspects of the temporal order, as ordained by Divine authority. Each requires the other in cooperation and spirited participation; else chaos and societal collapse prevail. Human society is only as good as the individuals that form its lesser parts. If in any culture the individual actors are morally corrupt, then those faults will begin to overshadow, and eventually seduce the society as a whole. Under such conditions the government of that society must fall, for it is no more than a composite of the individual parts.
However, this logic is banished from the libertarian mind, and in its place is a false conservatism that seeks to conserve only that which opposes authority and elevates the individual to his own godhoodI shall not serve!” roared Luciferand the cry is no less revolutionary from the mouths of the libertines, particularly those who have invaded the conservative movement.
Libertarian-inclined groups have implemented a systematic coup of grassroots conservatism, such as the Tea Party movement. One of the more well-known organizationsTea Party Patriotshave condoned and promoted indifference towards those moral principles fundamental to the Constitution and within the greater conservative movement.
TPP leadership, acting in union with members of its lesser hierarchy, sought to foment resistance against objective cultural norms of behavior. Leaders within the organization went so far as to state that the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were not influenced by Christian doctrine.
The perverse rationale now used to poison the Tea Party movement is that moral imperatives must be subordinate to fiscal concerns; however, this reasoning is diametrically opposite to the truth: objective morality is necessary to right any magnitude of fiscal chaos: Social defects create financial defects.
Prudence and regard for the right order of human society demand that we not ignore the divinely ordained restraints on personal and public behavior. History proves the root cause of national distress is always moral bankruptcy of the culture. Without exception, moral depravity precipitates financial collapse, and therefore objective norms of morality must always take precedence in civil deliberations, no matter their context. Astute men of history consistently teach this axiom:
“But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.” Edmund Burke
“Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.” Alexis de Tocqueville
“The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad.” Theodore Roosevelt
A Catholic attorney correctly summarized the failings of the libertarian philosophy thus:
“Libertarianism has to do with maximum individual freedom, without restraint or limitation. The libertarian principle is thus antithetical to the concept of morality. This is not to say that individual libertarians are not moral people; but they are moral people only insofar as they are acting inconsistently with libertarianism. They are good folks because they are bad libertarians.
Edmund Burke understood quite that liberty not license, but true liberty was connected to moral order, to the linking of people together by the bonds of custom, tradition, religion, fellow-feeling and virtue. Absent those qualities, individuals are incapable of governing themselves and the state must rise to provide order and security for the populace.
Burke’s point is that morality embraced by the individual but also reflected in the public institutions and laws of a given culture must have a role in the public square, otherwise tyranny will lurk at the door until an opening arises. Libertarianism makes this situation more likely, not less. Rather than being a guard against tyranny, libertarianism makes the collapse of freedom more likely, not less, by replacing liberty with license and eroding the connections between people that are essential for both personal and private morality.
In this, libertarianism shows forth its origins as an ideological movement, grounded not in the preservation of rights and duties traditionally understood, but rather the dogmatic erosion of civic community and social order necessary for the concepts of rights and duties to exist within the interactions of human beings with each other.
The entire idea of libertarianism is self-refuting. Again, this is not to say that individual libertarians are incapable of virtue or devoid of moral conduct. It is to say that insofar as they are virtuous and moral, it is because they are not really libertarians.”

(End Catholic citation.)
So, when any national movement, whether in its general platform or through lesser hierarchy, chooses to shun transcendent moral imperatives in favor of fiscal conservatism, then you have the briny gutter wash of libertarianism rolling across the land. If it is not immediately confronted and routed, then it will inevitably poison the well.
Time-tested principles of objective reality are not open to subjective criticism. The irony of the “patriot” group that follows this course is that to abandon moral principles for political necessity will only work to embolden those individuals whose bad actions would precipitate further fiscal disruptions!
So, for reason of an uncertain numerical advantage, which some politicos assert will restore our republican virtue of free market capitalism, we conservatives are asked to remain complacent to the further subversion of Americas cultural moreslimits that constitute the requisite for ordered libertyand thus prosperity. How then shall our markets be free, if they are premised to operate without a public bulwark of moral restraint? By such rationale slavery and human trafficking must have free reign, for they might serve some sector of the market.
In the final measure the moral severance advanced by libertarians, while calculated to gain tactical advantage over those who desire our enslavement, will prove to impose further bondage on American society; because such severance fails to recognize and uphold the immutable laws prescribed by the Divine author of all human society. In effect, libertarianism would kill the moral spirit that the body may live in greater prosperity; but without the animating moral spirit, the body dies ... and no amount of “free market” capitalism will resurrect it from the grave.
The failure of any allegedly conservative and patriotic organization to uphold objective moral principle, pretending some higher goal commands greater loyalty, is intellectually dishonest at best. A fatal flaw in discernment exists at some level of the leadershipand this error, unchallenged and unchecked, will affect a pernicious influence upon the conservative movement in general. Repeated efforts must therefore be undertaken by we who recognize the flaw of moral severance, so to teach and guide those deceived by vain men; for we understand that true liberty requires a moral foundation to be prosperous.
