Hello! I'm a first timer, be gentle!

We shouldn't be single issue supporters. There may be a difference between "Pro-abortion" and supporting legal precedent. We need to be consistent re litmus tests. Also, to put the issue of abortion to bed for good, we need law enacted to make abortion illegal except for very strictly defined situations, and then test it's constitionality with a mostly conservative Supreme court. If truly viewed strictly, I don't believe a conservative Court can read a right to an Abortion into the Constitution.

Welcome, cookiemonster.

Ok, I'll bite....nibble, that is. Coleus is not a one-issue activist as one who were new or outside the Jersey seen may not realize. We all have issues that we hold closer to the heart than others. Afore a backdrop of conservative solidarity(no, not mind-numbed robots), most FReepers find their own niche/zone of sorts.

You will also notice that these contrasts in interests and backgrounds compliment eachother quite well and actually provide an interesting perspective when looking over the ideological landscape, quite like the topology of America from a bird's eye view.

Anyway, welcome and enjoy. Read, read, read. There is such a vast amount of information here.

Oh yeah, watch out for the jedi cult members.

Bill Clinton appointed 373 Federal Judges to the bench who are all pro-abortion. With the exception with, I think, two, all were pushed through by the Republican Senate.

George Bush ran as a pro-life candidate at the Republican National Convention who stated he found Jesus. He made us to believe he would not be like Clinton when it came to the life issue.

I go by actions not words, first it was the stem cell issue, now it's the appointment of 5 pro-abortion judges in NJ. He's not keeping his word and I have a right to express my opinion. It doesn't mean that I won't vote for him in 2004, he is messing up and we have to keep him on track and let him know that we are watching what he does and will not rubberstapm everything he does.

Welcome to the Free Republic. As you can see, not even we conservatives think alike and have many different issues, convictions and views dear to our hearts.

So, what's your favorite, Orios or Chocolate Chips?
