No matter who wins the nomination or who wins the coming election, we're going to need FR more than ever to hold their feet to the fire!!

The more power the liberals and GOP establishment concentrate for themselves in the central government, the dimmer the chances for freedom surviving in America.

Romney proves through is love for RomneyCare exactly who and what he is.

Reagan warned us that the socialists would try to impose socialism on us through socialized healthcare, well here it is. Romney says that he wants all 50 states to impose their own similar top down government designed healthcare plans so that all citizens would be covered. Like Obama, he says that if you like your current private plan you can keep it, but how can you when all private insurance companies will be driven out of business. When the government steps in, free markets are no more. The government picks the winners and losers, says who must cover whom for what, tells the providers how much they can charge, how much or how little they can profit, and will eventually limit competition, limit opportunity, limit capitalism, end freedom.

Romney claims the government healthcare plan he wants to impose on us is a free market states rights plan. How can that possibly be if it is designed and mandated by government and forced on the people by government. He says it provides choice, but the only choice offered is to buy a government approved plan or be fined, and you can bet if you refuse their choice and refuse to pay the fine, there will be further choices offered to force you to comply against your will--or else!

Sorry, but a government designed, government controlled, government subsidized, government forced program is not free market, is not capitalism, is not states rights and is not the American way. Whether imposed at the federal level or the state level, whether imposed by Marxist Obama or the "capitalist" Romney, it's the same damn thing. It is central planned, central controlled statism, ie, socialist fascism and it tells us exactly who and what Obama is and exactly who and what Romney is!!

Romney has already designated his National Healthcare Task Force Czar, Pam Bondi, and she says she already has 26 state governors or attorney generals endorsing Romney's plan, and that plan is to have all 50 states impose RomneyCare-like government designed, government controlled, government subsidized, government mandated and government forced healthcare plans on their citizens.

This would be tyranny and it would be coming from the top and it would be coming not from the socialist left, but from the GOP establishment. Socialism must be resisted!!

Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God!!

We are the resistance!!

Please keep those contributions coming in, folks. We need FR now more than ever!!

" There's no question that at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate. And what I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn't trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them. I found that I felt compelled to seek God's forgiveness. Not God's understanding, but God's forgiveness. I do believe in a forgiving God. And I think most people, deep down in their hearts hope there's a forgiving God.
Somebody once said that when we're young, we seek justice, but as we get older, we seek mercy."

"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers."
