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?

Morning. This thread is still going, wow.
I’ll have to work to find a good quote back! ;)
It’s still going strong...
There are plenty of barking (or should I say howlin) moonbat longtime FReepers, well not so many as last week or even yesterday, and by your tone, well, we'll likely be short another few soon enough. It's easy to masquerade as a Conservative, the tough part is maintaining the lie. Thanks for playing. Give 'em hell EV. Blackbird.
There’s no difference between Rudy’s position on the WOT on all the other candidates.
Second, we should nominate Rudy for head of Homeland Security if that is his strength. We don’t need him to be president.
Third, there is no evidence Rudy is a shoo-in to win NY, NJ or California. The DBM will highlight his corruption ties and flip-flops. Dems will paint him as a wild eyed liberal in the Red States, and as a too tough, arrogant, fascists in the blue states.
Fourth, if Rudy was so popular in NY, he would've ran for Governor or Senator. He barely won reelection as Mayor, and is extremely unpopular with NYC minorities.
He has no connection with Hispanics. Hey, vote for the NYC elitist, who is for abortion, Gay rights, and free trade with Cuba. Yeah, that will draw the Hispanics in!
Like I said, Rudy for Homeland Security, not POTUS.

If we couldn't do that, this thread would have 150 posts instead of 15,000.
Doh! You caught me. After 9 years, I thought I had you all fooled, but not you and your eagle - er, Blackbird - eye.
I share your concern and disgust.
As long as our Government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of person and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending—Andrew Jackson
My trip to Boise was long but great. Got work to do today.
My posting history is there for you to see until I get banned,and I think you will mostly find it full of good humor.I have over the years gotten many personal notes from people telling me I made them laugh.
But now I am angry, and you and your like minded sycophants are most deserving of that anger.What has happened here is a travesty and you are the fools and do not have a clue.
I'm with you woofie. I'm at work today and have to hit the road for a job, otherwise I stay and join you in your dissent of the purge.
Too many very good people have been banned because they took issue, most in a respectful way, with the new order here on FR. An unfortunately I'm not liking what I'm seeing with them. No more room for respectful dissent here. If you do, you're gone. 50 (+ or - a few) bannings of many of those who I've grown to respect with the thoughtfulness of their posts and support of conservatives. We're not all of one mind though we agree on most things here. And to be accused of being a troll or worse for posting a dissenting opinion is not what I expected FR to become. It's too bad that intolerance has become the norm here.
That was Cromwell?
Then there’s “Praise the Lord, but pass the ammunition....”
Hope next time you get down to Boise, we’ll have time to talk!
God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.—Daniel Webster
I agree. I posted some on this thread when it was still in the hundreds. It was sickening, to me, to see the glee with which some people were rejoicing in the bannings (especially those who have been here just a few days and, most likely, would have been zotted for the kinds of stuff they’ve said had they said it a year ago).
I don’t know that I have any FRiends here, per se, but people whose opinions I’ve respected over the years. I’m going to miss them very much on this forum.
