If the Moderators are not keepers of truth and conservatism, they simply become enablers of the creeping liberal agenda.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani led off with his strongest card, his terrorism-fighting credentials, before touching on healthcare, immigration and energy policy in a speech to a welcoming crowd Saturday.
"Sept. 11, 2001, taught me — and I believe it taught a lot of people, including President Bush — that we have to remain on offense," Giuliani said. "That means that we have to use our military. We can't show weakness."
Giuliani seemed to hit all the right notes Saturday, getting applause when he criticized Democrats' stance on healthcare and advocated vouchers for schools.
On immigration, he told reporters he doesn't support amnesty for illegal immigrants, but he could support a guest worker program if there were adequate border security and tamper-proof ID cards. He said that even if illegal immigrants "can demonstrate that they are lawful, that they are paying taxes [and] that they'll pay penalties," they still shouldn't be put ahead of people who go through legal channels.
"And citizenship here, if it's earned, should be premised on being able to read and write English and understand American history, so we restore assimilation to the process of immigration," he said.
"Nothing will unite the Republicans more than a candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton," Curry said.

This used to be a conservative forum.
Now conservatism is scorned and lies are acceptable.
Perhaps I no longer belong here.
Hang in there big guy, this is just a tempest. The real storm comes next year and we need every true conservative to help.
What does that have to do with supporting candidates (in the primary) that advance liberalism?
Vote for Louie Liberal(R)!!!! He demonstrates "optimism"!
I think my time better spent supporting my candidate in the real world than wasting it on the current batch of lying trolls who seem to have carte blanch here on FreeRepublic.

I'm shocked! No answer yet?
Maybe. Take a break, deal in the real world with real people and then, if it seems right come back. Trolls are everywhere and the mods can't make everything work perfectly. I suspect some of them agree with us and others do not. I do know that JimRob gets it, but it is a big world.
Thanks for your service and for your passion and enthusiasm.
If you're at post # 237, keep reading.
You haven't seen the worst yet.
I'd expect him to attribute it to the poor mans state of mind and call for more gun control.
That's what it was, wasn't it?
Just a mentally deranged person who was able to get a gun.
Like the non-terror related Egyptian who shot up the El-Al counter at LAX
Or the non-terror related muslim who shot up the Jewish Center in Seattle.
Or the two non-terror related Muslims who ran amok with their SUVs in VA and GA I believe, southeast anyway.
Or the non-terror related Muslim who shot up the shopping center in Utah.
I could go on and on, even back to the non terror related palestinian Christian who shot Bobby Kennedy.
Anyway, what could Rudy do, the guys dead, no lesson here, except to crack down on gunowners.
-------------
This is where Rudy's supporters chirp in, like crickets, about his knowledge of terror.
9/11, yes, Rudy got it.
The 93 bombing, he got it.
The Empire State Building, he blew it.
>This is the biggest flip-flop I have ever seen from any politician : )<
It's like turning over the mattress and finding out somebody sh*t the bed.
LMBO!!
Rudy blamed the gun instead of the terrorist.
Sheesh. "Join Rudy now. Abandon your conservative principles now and avoid the rush!"
Please. You're backing the most liberal Republican in the field of GOP candidates, when their are other, more conservative candidates worthy of support. I can understand if Rudy squeaks through the primaries and you'll hold your nose for him, but openly backing him this early is ludicrous.
C'mon, you know Arnold won on star power. You know how California is.

I MIGHT be wrong, but I am not aware of a more liberal candidate EVER seeking the GOP nomination. In fact, prior to a decade ago, I'm not aware of a more openly liberal candidate seeking the Democrat nomination.
You'd have to go back to Wendell Willkie in 1940. At least even he realized that it was better to let FDR handle business.
