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?

Here’s my standard challenge to rudybots who post that false dilemma. Skywarner, please answer it or stop posting your rude false dilemma in support of tootyfruityrudy.

As a freeper I am disappointed that there are fans of a liberal presidential candidate trying to push socially liberal views on this socially conservative forum. In particular, I have noticed that the Rudy G fans do not answer posts questioning the qualitative substance of their candidate, or the posts are met merely with insults. And in short, I have noticed that rudy followers are simply rude.

Hildebeast is eminently beatable, this nonsense about rudy being the only one who can beat her is horse manure and impolite on this socon forum. For example, this article:
“Long Shot GOP Candidate Brownback Just Five Points Behind Clinton”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1798666/posts
We know that it simply means it’s very early in the race and that even no-name candidates are only 5 points behind Clinton. So the rudybots should stop supporting a social liberal on this social conservative forum and pick a real winner, rather than a ridiculous loser liberal like rudy.

The 2 polls on Free Republic put forth an obvious SOCON (only Hunter fits that description given) versus a SOLIB (it certainly fits rudy).
http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/poll?poll=171
http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/poll?poll=172

Rudy splits the base.

I have noticed time and again that rudy supporters rudely send up the false dilemma of “who would you vote for, Hildebeast or Rudy”. This particularly impolite at this early of a point in the primary cycle. Since this is a socon forum (not even a GOP forum), it is very impolite to ask double-bind questions, especially this early in the race.

Since team rudy is so fond of its own false dilemma, I would expect them to answer this false dilemma.

My contention: If rudy gets the nomination, he splits the base, possibly splits the republican party, and loses the election.

Rudy followers’ contention: If Hunter gets it, he wins the base and loses the election.

Hypothetical to answer the rudy followers’ hypothetical. Both sides losing to Hillary.
Side A: The solib republican splits the base. The MSM turns on him the moment he is nominated. Hillary wins. Republican party is split.
Side B: The socon republican wins the nomination, loses to hildebeast in a tough fight. Republicans are united against the hillary presidency.

Which candidate is best for the republican party, Side A or Side B?

Win-Win false dilemma:
Side A: Solib wins presidency by ignoring the socon base and permanently splitting the republican party.
Side B: SoCon wins presidency by (obviously) relying on the socon base.

Which candidate is best for the republican party, Side A or Side B?

Regardless of who wins or loses, Free Republic and the republican party is better off with Duncan Hunter than Rudy as the candidate. This social liberal candidate is simply not healthy for the republican party nor for FR. And rudy followers are proving to be very impolite freepers.

I wasn’t here at the time. In fact, I never knew this forum existed. But, I wanted Terry to be saved. It was crushing knowning that this woman was dying, and nothing could be done. We were all powerless except for a few creep judges and a man not fit to be called her husband. I wish I had been here at the time to help fight for Terry. Hopefully we will never have to deal with such a situation again, though.

The hunting seems to be good, so far.

I was actually looking for the Wicked Witch of the East with Dorothy's house dropped on her and the ruby slippers.

Couldn't find it.

"Skywarner, please answer it or stop posting your rude false dilemma in support of tootyfruityrudy."

Okay, I stopped reading right there... [And I thought _I_ was long-winded, lol!

If you read my earlier postings, you would have seen that I am supporting Thompson followed by Hunter. I used Rudy for a "what if" scenario.

By the way, let's all at least use some respect when referring to the candidates, even if you can't possible find it in your stomach to agree or support them. The tootyfruityrudy comment is uncalled for.

Reading her flame-bait posts shows that you don't really know who you are talking about.

I darn well know who I am talking about - the long-time poster, keeper of the live thread list and, FReepathon cheerleader. Did she post sharp retorts and questions? Sure. But that doesn't make her the wicked witch of the west.

I stand by my statement.

Ah, yes. The old "freedom of expression" thing. "I can say whatever I want at FR because of the First Amendment." NOT. We are guests in Mr. Robinson's house. It is not censorship to boot someone who comes in here and trashes conservatives and conservative people. You are free continue your career at DU, woofie, IMHO.

You put Fred Thompson in that group, EV? How?

Still a ton of questions about his abortion position and other important things, as well.

Here's Thompson's position on abortion.

You said there is "a ton of questions about his abortion position..."

What is the problem? What is the "ton of questions about Fred and his abortion position"?

You were not trying to be humorous. If you were it was to my expense. My husband would agree. Ok. Is that the answer you wanted.Another poster did recognize this also. It was not nice.
