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?
Yep, they sure are. Only ones that aren’t welcome here are those who dis conservatives while promoting a liberal candidate. If people are here to fight against the stated mission and purpose of FR they have no business being here. Something people tend to forget sometimes is the fact that FR is not a Republican forum--it’s a conservative forum.
Most people from what I saw opused out and asked to be banned. JR wants a hard turn right back to the roots of FR and I understand that completely. Matter of fact it energizes me. Conservatives need to stand up and be counted. The left wing of the GOP and pop culture is foisting a liberal upon us, and I as a conservative take umbrage with that.
I can be on call; but, as I tell my kids, don't bother me unless something is on fire or there is arterial bleeding.
“We need someone to win. That is why I felt bad for some of those who have been banned. This what motivates many to defend Rudy. They think he has a chance to beat Hilde-beast.”
The thing is he is nearly parallel to the Hildabeast on his positions. They are both liberals. What have you won if you’ve compromised all your principles to do so?
“People fear what will happen with WOT, if a not totally conservative is running, so do they over look certain issues... that may be.”
You basically have to look over all issues and vote solely on the WOT to vote for Guiliani. Even then, what are his real qualifications at fighting terror? He fought crime in NYC, but what has he done to evidence he can fight the global WOT? He recently commented that we could lose in Iraq and still succeed in the WOT. How could that be? He did a good job on 9/11, but did he really do anything that any mayor wouldn’t do as far as clean up and attending funerals? There are other candidates running that have a solid knowledge of the WOT. McCain has been its biggest supporter, not that I’m supporting McCain. Hunter is head of the House Armed Services Committee, and he served himself. I think he would be qualified.
“Personally I think when Rudy Giuliani says he will only nominate Constitutionalists judges, I believe him. He will leave those issues to the states.”
He appointed mostly liberal judges while in NYC. Also, he says that he thinks women should ultimately have the choice for abortion. He says judges could interpret Roe vs. Wade as good or bad, and he claims Ginsberg (ardent pro-abort) is a good judge.
Ultimately, there are better candidates that are conservative on most issues who would be just as qualified to fight the WOT.
And you've never seen anything like that ever happen here before, right?
That must be one great set of blinders you've been wearing over the years.
Is that conspiracy stuff for real over there? People think that? lmao.

“then I will come back as someone else, same PC, ISP and the same everything but: “Yield 2 The Right”.”
Oh, hang around awhile. We need mice for this game.
A lot of fundamentalist Christians I know are the proverbial “salt of the earth.” Strangely, that even includes some black people who always vote Democrat. But there are other fundamentalist types who see themselves as being the word of God (how can you argue against the word of God), something I usually have trouble swallowing.
I’m not, as I said, religious, but I do recognize that the current nationwide attack on Christianity is really an attack on America.
What the heck is going on here?
We've lost too many good FReepers just off of this thread.
Gotcha! Hang in there like I said. This too shall pass. Everyone will unite as a front regardless of the candidate... as long as it is a fairly conservative candidate. :)
Apparently, your point is missed by many....but I agree....and no.....I don't support rudy in the least.....
That could be. I'm feeling a little stunned.
We didn’t lose them - most of them ran away.
But if I had my choice, I'd rather share a foxhole with her. {{{wink}}}
Now you know I’m too nice to use that while just discussing why I do what I do.
But sometimes, when young fellas post on my news thread and say, “Pull my finger,” then it IS time to get the serious tools out.

Thanks, sent you a frmail.
