What kind of freedom do you seek?
You ask almost as though I were seeking to blow up the world with an aleuteum Q46 explosive space modulator and claim that it was just a cigarette lighter gone blooey. ;)
But for a proper answer to your question, begin with a pair of documents known as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, properly construed and, where appropriate, amended. (Repeal the Sixteenth Amendment, anyone?)
I seek, in short, the end of the improperly consecrated, paternalistic State, and the restoration of properly construed and minimal American government. Which is to say, government (at all levels) whose sole legitimate business - aside from the proper and diligent defence of Americans' lives and properties - is to stay the hell out of your business, my business, and any and every individual American citizen's business, unless - big "unless" - one citizen would obstruct or abrogate a fellow citizen's equivalent rights.

Yes I do and I expect the program to fail eventually. There will be a draw down after a time and when that happens I hope we are in power. The extra money will be another tempting target for the congress.
I don't know how long this will last. It depends on the middle east and stability in the entire area

They said the Founding Fathers were dreamers, too. And look what happened with those distinguished gentlemen - who just so happened to have constituted after arduous labour and thought the government of which I spoke. I could do a lot worse than dreaming of their dreams. (Some say that my rooting for the Boston Red Sox is doing a lot worse than those dreams...)

I gotta go check the inside surfaces of my eyelids. Meet you on a thread sometime. It will be a hoot! Take care of that cigarette lighter.

If we do not question and debate Republicans' leftist moves here on FR, then the war is lost.
Applies, really, to anyone's leftist moves. I mean, it is truly a sad condition when we gaze upon those we are still dumb enough to trust to secure and protect our freedom and conclude, as Larry Elder so often likes to say, that they talk the talk but do not walk the walk. And, that only too many believe refusing to question talking the talk without walking the walk is actually some sort of virtue in the breach, even as the State continues to metastasise and the individual's rights and sovereignty continue to contract.

Gov't programs never end, they just shift them to another dept. They are not going to put 45,000 employees out of work, they have lifetime jobs at our expense. They should have made the airlines provide their own security with stringent guidelines and oversight. The airlines then could pass the cost on to the people who use their services and not the rest of us.

And, whatever else you do, please DO NOT post from DEMOCRATS UNDERGROUND Yes! The OH MY GOD!! LOOK WHAT DU IS SAYING!!! posts are pointless. I mean what do people expect them to say?
To: SentryoverAmerica; Jim Robinson
I guess I should check this out, because it seems that some are fretting about what seems to me to be a pretty obvious distinction. Jim, do I have this down right, please?
Allowed: Criticism- even fairly harsh criticism. Not allowed: smearing and mindless bashing of conservatives. And no getting around it by saying a conservative is not really conservative.
For each of the four guys Jim named, I will give an example of criticism and of a slime. These are only meant for example purposes.
Browne criticism, allowed: Harry needs to get a grip. There is no way our country would survive his ideas on open borders. Browne crappola, not allowed: Browne is a commie pinko fag.
Buchanan criticism, allowed: How can a man who writes so eloquently keep phrasing things in ways that leaves himself open to charges of anti-semitism? Buchanan smear: Pat is a nazi anti-semite.
Bush criticism, allowed: Ted Kennedy is a great Senator? TED KENNEDY? George, have you lost your mind? Bush slander, not allowed: Dumbya is just another New World Order Stooge doing Poppy's bidding for BIG OIL.
Keyes criticism, allowed: Alan can be condescending at times and it has pissed me off. Keyes smearing, not allowed: Alan, that was one ugly sweater. No wait, that probably would fall under allowed criticism.
Anyway, is that about the right idea, Jim? Being critical of any of these (or other) politicians or political figures on the right side of the aisle for their views on immigration, or for their views on just about anything is fine.
