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?
“Troop support is what brought me to Free Republic.”
Same here. My family’s been military for three generations. D-Day, Africa, Tinian (509th anyone???), Korea, VietName, and Iraq.
But, according to the opinions of many, I’m not a “worthy conservative.”
Amazing.
When your military credentials match those of Keyes you will be worthy.
This is all I can find.
“You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.”Uhhm... Charles Beard was a bloody socialist. To him the American Revolution was an aristocratic con-job on the people in order to protect elite economic interests. Later in his career he realized that class warfare didn't pay so well as to put the mouths of the Founders into defense of the New Deal.

Be careful with Bartlett's...

Did you bother to read squidnut's last few posted threads with the inane attacks against Fred?
But once it started, it certainly seemed like an exodus...from my POV...at least in a loose sense...
bttt
Except instead of following Moses, they followed the Pied Piper.
Didn’t matter who said it to me...it was the truth of the saying...he probably meant the bits about overthrowing powers that the governed feel are tyranical..but spouting off about what the founders thought about an armed citizenry, and the need for virtue, and the necessity of guarding liberty will certainly get you a bad reputation nowadays in some quarters! They don’t want to hear it!
“Her “shap retorts” were just personal attacks followed by threats to “report someone to the mods”.
She couldn’t debate her way out of a sack.”
That’s true, she was one evil bitch.
It makes me sick.
LOL
It was three generations for us; now it is four.
Me too. Keep your chin up. We military families are tough.
"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."
Save this quote and use it next time someone declares that "Jefferson wasn't a Christian - he was a "deist""...
Hoo-wee, that rates a shrine at least, huh?
