We've got some real challenges facing us. FR was established to fight against government corruption, overstepping, and abuse and to fight for a return to the limited constitutional government as envisioned and set forth by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and other founding documents.
One of the biggest cases of government corruption, overstepping and abuse that I know of is its disgraceful headlong slide into a socialist hell. Our founders never intended for abortion to be the law of the land. And they never intended the Supreme Court to be a legislative body. They never intended God or religion to be written out of public life. They never intended government to be used to deny God's existence or for government to be used to force sexual perversions onto our society or into our children's education curriculum. They never intend for government to disarm the people. They never intended for government to set up sanctuary cities for illegals. They never intended government to “rule” over the people and or to take their earnings or private property or to deprive them of their constitutional rights to free speech, free religion, private property, due process, etc. They never intended government to seize the private property of private citizens through draconian asset forfeiture laws or laws allowing government to take private property from lawful owners to give to developers. Or to seize wealth and redistribute it to others. Or to provide government forced health insurance or government forced retirement systems.
All of the above are examples of ever expanding socialism and tyranny brought to us by liberals/liberalism.
FR fights against the liberals/Democrats in all of these areas and always will. Now if liberalism infiltrates into the Republican party and Republicans start promoting all this socialist garbage, do you think that I or FR will suddenly stop fighting against it? Do you think I'm going to bow down and accept abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, global warming, illegal alien lawbreakers, gun control, asset forfeiture, socialism, tyranny, totalitarianism, etc, etc, etc, just so some fancy New York liberal lawyer can become president from the Republican party?
Do you really expect me to do that?
Not sure...every time we think it may have passed, another twister comes in....
Hey JCEccles! Just introducing myself. I actually told my wife it was one of the most boring movies I’d ever endured (lol)
Time to update the Body Count? LOL
Oh ok, I knew there were some legal ramblings about it around the time it was released.

There was unwarranted criticism of Nussle because he didn’t seem conservative enough to some in the party.
Placemark
I hope someone will pass me the cliff notes when they are done........
I can’t figure out what has happened.
All the Epics in here for the past nine years. The Clinton Regime, Elian, Schiavo, Meiers, and lots of others. Pretty volatile stuff.
I was proud to consitantly see my postion on an issue be hers.
And Onyx's,and Peach's.
And oceanview's.
Politics aside, those are some good people. ;^(
Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks-no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea, if there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.

Can't possibly understand why, but these are interesting times.
You're not dragging me into this. I don't want to go down the shiny silver slide into the abattoir.
Good advice, CindyDawg. Thank you. :)
“but in the people who are to choose them.”
Bump!!!!!
I’ve been looking for a good graphic to put up.
My bet is up 2 dozen Maryland crabs.
I sure do love crabs....Alaska king crab is the best. But I'd take a load of Maryland crabs too. teehee You'll get no argument from me that Giuliani is to the left on the social issues. That's why I'm also hopin' and praying for a better candidate for the Republican ticket than Rudy.
The problem goes FAR deeper than Jim Nussle.
He actually said that about W? wow.
(btw please don’t ban me. I’m not French. /snark)
I think it's about American Idol's Sanjaya. ;) (gotta duck 'n cover now)
Almost surreal how, one after another, some of the Freepers I’ve know for so long, took up the argument with Jim.
Some insulting and cursing him; others daring him to ban them!
I’m still kind of stunned by it all.
The insulting and cursing went both ways, I'm afraid.
