You are being very dishonest in your post. First off, there has been no demonstrated proof Saddam had anything to do with 9-11. In fact, the most direct links are not to Saddam or even Afghanistan - but to Saudi Arabia. The same Saudi Arabia that Bush and Powell are kissing up to and calling a devoted US friend and ally. I'd sooner support a war on Saudi Arabia than on Iraq - because Saudi Arabia is directly (fiscally and culturally) to the terrorists who killed 3000 Americans on 9-11. Saddam is just a secondary effort in the war on terrorism.

It is pathetic to see freepers proclaim anyone who disagrees with big government as an accomplice to terrorism. Very soon any person who dares post in support of the US Constitution will be labelled a 'wacko', a 'rightwing extremist', and a 'terrorist sympathizer'. How far freerepublic has fallen that we are so blind in our support of a man (Bush) that we are willing to let eternal principles (the Constitution) be corrupted and eliminated.

Thank you for posting one of my favorite quotes...however you got the name of the author wrong. (Claire Wolfe)

That's not the first time he's attributed that quote to Claire Wolfe. He did it at least once before, and was called on it. What's up with that CJ?

Quick question: What part of the Constitution is being trampled by putting an end to terrorist plots against you and me. Well, maybe just me. You seem to not be concerned about it. Why is that?

Too many people who are flat out anti-any-form-of-authority (Govt) and/or liberals hide behind the "trampling our Constitution" theme.

How quick you are to condemn. I am definitely concerned with terrorist threats. Have you ever served in the Armed Forces? I have, and continue to do so. And my MOS - artillery - means I will go to ground to defend the United States. Unlike many on freerepublic, my words are backed up by my deeds.

You very much proved my point in your post implying me as a terrorist supporter. As you can see, any person making mention of "Constitutional issues" is now being condemned as a terrorist sympathizer.

How pathetic that freepers have forgotten the principles upon which freerepublic was founded.

Well, I'll put it this way, this web site supports President Bush, supports our national defense efforts (including the war on terrorism), supports the effort to retake the Senate, supports the effort to confirm President Bush's judicial appointees, supports the effort to retake the congressional committees and the legislative agenda from the Democrats and or to increase the majority against the leftist caucus in the House, supports the effort to oppose the Democrats in every seat and office in the country and generally opposes the liberal/socialist left.

Democrats, liberals, socialists, and their ilk do not stand a chance on FR. They usually get nuked before they even get started. We don't need their perverted b/s or their anti-conservative, anti-freedom, cowardly anti-American propaganda. We get that crap all day long in every newspaper, newscast, TV show, movie, classroom, etc, we do not need it on FR. We are the opposition to these people.

Now, if people come on to FR spouting smear attacks against our candidates, calling them or us names, insulting us, insulting our positions and or generally working against our goals, then they are probably going to get kicked out. And I don't care what party they claim to be affiliated with. Liberals/socialists and their supporters or enablers are not wanted here and need not apply.

If the shoe fits....

So, how'd it go? Find the link to the article on FR that ties Saddam to Al Queda by money and supplies?

Let me see, where in any of my posts have I 'smeared our candidates'? Where have I worked against this websites goals? Let me remind you what it says in the front page of this website. To "roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America."

It is clear to me that government largesse and waste is equally as bad in a Republican administration as in a Democrat. You'll also notice it does not say that we support "Republicans" of any stripe or belief. It expressly states "conservatism". And conservatism without the Constitution is not conservatism. Certainly we may debate on issues within this scope. But threatening those people debating from a Constitutional, conservative standpoint with booting and labels like traitor and terrorist is ludicrous.

Like I said, your penchant for labeling all those as traitors who raise points concerning the validity and supremacy of the US Constitution is misguided.

You never answered my question: have you ever served in the Armed Forces? What makes you think you are in a position to judge me, who has served and continues to serve in defense of this country? My words are matched by my deeds. Are yours?

I have hardly forgotten who runs this website. And Jim Robinson has made his intent clear on the front page of the website. Like I said, my words are backed by my deeds. I've donated several time to FreeRepublic. Have you?

If you were president, as several tens of thousands lay dying in agony from a radiologic bomb that was set off from the inviolate "sanctity" of a mosque which was a haven for terrorist organization, and the American people learned that you could have monitored it (but had some halfwit ideology for not doing so), how long do you think it would take for the country to explode in anarchy?

Right on!, my man. You're gettin' it!

BUT!

Islam is a religion of peace.

George W. Bush, 9/2001.

Interesting post.

It certainly didn't bring out the best in people here, however.

They're the ones supporting big government and Globalist measures, whether they deny it or not.

Most don't deny it. They love big, authoritarian government. They worship at the idol of violent power.

They had a personal problem with Clinton, not with his power.
