Except for his unfortunate go along to get along support of TARP, bailouts, stimulus spending and the increased credit limit, etc, Ryan is a pretty good choice. Probably the best choice of the RINOS that were on Romney's short list. I support Ryan for the vice presidency. Wish he were at the top of the ticket, though.
But I still cannot and will not support the grand father of ObamaCare. Romney still loves and brags about his bastard brainchild, RomneyCare, even today when he knows what an anti-liberty socialist POS it is.
And the fact that he advocated that abortion should be safe and legal in America for over three decades of his adult lifetime and even advocated that Roe v Wade should be supported and sustained as settled law precludes any consideration whatsoever by this pro-life Christian for Myth Romney for the presidency.
And the fact that he boasted that he would be better for "gay rights" than Ted Kennedy, and proved it just increases my resistance.
That, and his penchant for gun control, his continuing support for global warming, gays in the scouts, gays in the military, and his record of appointing liberal judges makes it all but impossible for me to support him.
Lastly, we're having a bit of changeover on our moderator staff. At least two moderators resigned this afternoon after I flatly refused to rein in a so-called anti-Mormon "bigot" on FR. Well, if being in opposition to false prophets and false prophecy makes a Christian believer a bigot, then I guess I'm a bigot. I've posted before that I flat do not believe that the Book of Mormon is the true word of God. Nor do I believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. The Christian bible warns us to be weary of false prophets and that I am. Romney being the presumptive Republican nominee does not change that fact.
Take it up with Joseph Smith, or God if you ever see him. Romney loves Jesus Christ and acknowledges him as his Lord and Savior, and that’s all you, as a Christian, need to know.
Well said, dfu. I don’t think Mormons are trying to annihilate anybody, but radical Islam is. The guy who currently occupies (see what I did there ;o) the White House appears to me to be doing his dead level best to invite them into this country, and to give them a seat at the table. With that comes legitimacy and power that they otherwise wouldn’t have.
“This nation is about to hit the iceberg and sink economically, taking with it the rest of the world. There is a very short window of opportunity to turn the ship around. Obama is neither capable of that nor interested in that. He wants the colonial powers to be destroyed. That really is the dream of his father.”
You are dead on right!
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
...and I thank God every day, and His Son Jesus Christ, they it is He who will be my judge, and not folks like yourself who have already judged and comdemned.
To my knowledge, we have never met. You have never seen what I do, heard me pray, or been around myself and my family and observed our faith and love for Christ...and yet you presume to say I cannot serve two masters as if though I seek to do just that. Shame on you.
At the same time, God bless you for your own faith in He that is mighty to save...may He soften your heart towards others who love the Savior and who ought to be your natural and close allies in this fight we face as a nation.
As I said, I will do all in my power to help turn this around, and then as I am bid by the scriptures, I will wait on the arm of the Lord to be revealed..
God’s speed.
So hypothetically, if I hate you because you are a Mormon, that is no different than if I actually love you, but work to expose the anti Christian writings of MormonISM (the LDS belief system.)
Sorry, I disagree.
BTW, Christians are not anti-Judiasm as I have observed, so that statement is kinda a straw man arguement.
Good try except I didn't post “RINO’ on this thread, you did. Ryan will do exactly as he has been told as he has always done which is why he got this pick.
Romney is a liberal and Ryan is now praising him as the solutions to our problems. What principles is that?
But since you asked, Ryan :
-Supported TARP
-Auto Bailouts
-Medicare Plan D
-Every Bush budget, no cuts
-No Child Left Behind
- He backed a bill in 2007 to bar employer discrimination based on sexual orientation, saying at the time that his gay friends “didn't choose to be gay.”
And more recently that 2011 debt extension bill that he supported and Republicans now try to blame Obama for(the automatic cuts).
Indeed, I am always inspired and impressed with the rock solid Conservative standards that you set. You are a truly Great American!
Long Live Jim Robinson and Long Live FRee Republic!
There is no way I can vote for Liberal Romney, for exactly the reasons you posted. As far as I am concerned, I look forward to voting for Ryan in 2016. :)
What is logical is that Romney is lying, just like has has always done in the past. He hasn’t changed his mind on anything.
Thank you. ;o)
“All else is between the individual and God to hash out and we’ve all got plenty of ‘splainin to do. “Judge not lest you be judged,” “Cast the first stone” ... “yada yada yada.”
I know that I am the last person on this earth who should judge anyone. I’ll leave that to God. Too, hate is ugly, and only hurts those who hate. I’ve never understood that emotion, and I’m a woman! We know emotions like the back of our hands. ;o)
“When can we move on?”
Yes...PLEASE?
I especially want to emphasize this bit:
"As for faith and belief, if you don’t believe your faith is correct, why in Sam Hell are you are a member of it? And why would you NOT put it above everyone elses and defend it completely?"
I've always wondered the same thing. It's like when people say: "You always think you're right." Well, yes, I tell them, if I thought I was wrong, I'd change what I thought, because.....well I'd think something ELSE was right.
Critical and logical thinking is an increasingly rare and precious commodity.

That's interesting that you mention take it up with Joseph Smith.
The Mormons believe that all who go to heaven have to pass by Joseph Smith. I guess to get his approval.
As a Christian, I won't have to worry about that, he won't be there.
Romney may love Jesus, but as he is a Mormon, it is a different jesus.
There own writings declare this.
Obviously. You're too busy running after the crowd supporting the pro-choice democrat socialist. Good luck with that.
OH NO , I just realized I voted for that Damn RINO Newt in the primaries. He actually resigned from the House of Reps and he worked with Clinton ALL BECAUSE HE WAS A RINO. If only I could be pure, I am not! I too am now a RINO. Forgive me, forgive me all! I have failed!
To sleep to sleep perchance to dream! Possibly dream of the perfect RINO free party!
Good info, thanks for the post.
How have you been, my dear? We are at a crossroads in this election from which there is no turning back. I will battle Romney tooth and nail over his liberal social policies but for Obama to remain in the White House is unthinkable.
Good info, thanks for the post.

I hate leftists. Hate them. Anyone who wishes to be a free person should hate them. The unwillingess to do so is the willingness to be a slave.
