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?
LOL...I'm looking below this window I'm typing in and the admonition below says Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
I often wonder how many posters have EVER read it? IMO, there needs to be an additional one, Don't tug on Superman's cape, don't spit into the wind, don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger, and you don't mess around with Jim". Hat tip to whoever posted this earlier.
Morning, jedward!
Morning. It’s Friday! Yea!
Don’t make much difference to me. Means the reporters get lazy, and take the day off early...
“considering the 180 that was done by forum leadership with Bush in 2001, would that same 180 be done with Rudy if he is elected?”
IMO...Apparently the owner didn’t think that Bush was conservative “enough”. (Miers,borders, CFR, spending seem to confirm that btw) But I think most would have put Bush in the moderate/conservative area with his “passionate conservatism”.
Giuliani on the other hand is no where close to being a moderate, he is liberal on a littany of areas. I honestly believe Giuliani will not win the nomination and it won’t even be close. But if he did win my impression (just an opinion) is that the owner will not join with Giuliani and liberalism. My hope is that the GOP comes to there senses and gets off the bandwagon that takes us over a cliff to being a plus size Democrat Party. I think that 3rd Parties could gain more attention if this happens but I think ultimately this site will include primarily Republicans and that is the large foundation of the conservative movement. Having said that, Giuliani being head of the Party for 4 years would obviously see many, as I would see myself, as part of the loyal opposition. Whether I stay in the Party or leave, I’ll still attend local GOP meetings to work for conservatism.
Hey, regardless of your opinion, thanks for answering the question.
And you just reminded me of another reason to be here. 24/7 with some of the best news breaking I’ve seen.
“”””Don’t tug on Superman’s cape, don’t spit into the wind, don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger, and you don’t mess around with Jim”.”””
Superman know his FRiends - you do know that he can see through the ‘puter screen?

Veronica just got the zot in this thread that was posted by Jim Robinson.
Huh?
lol
The tendency of the US is towards two party systems. Normally, the umbrella parties absorb third parties, but if the GOP merges into the dems, which is the way some people would push it, then another party will rise to replace it.
In the big leagues of scoring the high profile posts, there are no accidents.
“””I was backing his question, which is what I reiterated a few posts above. No where did I see in sully’s post where he was backing Rudy. He asked a question, a very legitimate question. Would you care to answer it?”””
That entire issue was covered earlier in the thread, it isn’t up to us to research this thread for you and sully.
Yeah it is. Go research and report back.
I didn’t even know we were getting close to 12,000...I was too busy talking! LOL!
Jim Rob responded to that question a long time ago.
You need to go back through the thread if you want the answer.
Huh?
Duh!
Finish your vegetables - then you get dessert;) (keep reading)

Mornings can be great? Who woulda thunk.
Well, it isn’t snowing out, so there’s a good start, I suppose.
