Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?
vanity | April 21, 2007 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 04/21/2007 6:42:25 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

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?

They went with a whimper, not a bang, it would seem.

Hmmmm, exactly the opposite of how they spent their time here. Interesting.

I love that quote and thus your quote.

Too bad it can’t fit in as a tagline.

I know what you mean. I had to truncate Micah 6:8 to get it to fit in as my tagline...But I don’t know if it’s possible to trucate that quote!

It is not socialism but the rise of maternalistic society that wrought all of the changes that you decry.

The paternalistic society that served us well for 5000 years was doomed with the 19th amendment.

And that is also why the Jihadists want us dead.

LOL! Now that's funny! And about as intelligent as many of the other posts on this thread.

I'm not usually a LOL'er. This post/thought (what to call it?) made me do it.

Thomas Jefferson: March 4, 1805, offered A National Prayer for Peace:

"Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage. We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen."

How’s this?

Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people,wholly inadequate to govern any other.

It fits!

Its yours! (I only put it in mind to show you how it looks.)

At least you’re reading. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something. It’s doubtful, but miracles do occur.

Good prayer. All the libs ever say about Jefferson was that he and Madison (I think) once spoke of a “wall of separation between Church and state”. Some libs would like to take that further and get rid of the Church altogether.

Why is it necessary to bad mouth the dearly departed? Yeah , some of them are blinded by Rudy but in their own way I think most want the best for our country. I’m not even looking at those other sites. I just don’t care. If they want to move on..whatever.

Whenever I see comments like yours, I always ask the poster the same questions: Do you think that Rudy can take Texas? And, if not, how can Rudy win the presidency without Texas?

I don't believe that Rudy can win Texas, among several other red states. So, even if he does pick up a blue state or two, what does it matter? The "but Rudy can win" crowd never seem to take into account the red states that he would lose. They just asseume that red states vote Republican no matter who the candidate is. But that's not necessarily true.

No one has ever even bothered to respond to my questions. Will you?

dirtyboy: “Howlin was notorious for being an abusive poster.”

IR: Balderdash. At this point, it is YOU who seems to be bullying people, at least on this thread.

Howlin was abusive to most people except for her inner clique of friends...but mostly she is just a big blow hard...she never really said much except for multiple shrill screams.
