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?
We are still in the primary process .. I will vote for who I think is the more conservative candidate .. as will everyone else .... because that is how the process works
Though I know it's a long shot for Hunter .. he's got my vote
Should another candidate get in the race .. I will keep an open mind and seriously take a look at that person also
Though come the General election .. I would vote for whoever the GOP candidate is
Because no matter was is said .. A socialist dem in the WH with a socialist controlled congress is not something our country can survive
And if you think I'm wrong .. just take a look at Gramma Nan and numbnut Reid and the Bills they just got passed
If that all makes me a liberal troll .. then so be it
Or are we all supposed to ignore that?
She said something nasty and left in a huff.
She always carried a huge chip on her shoulder and I have mostly ignored her since I came to this site.
If so, then your grasp of analogy is no firmer than the one you hold, re: grammar and punctuation. Spending money at any given privately-owned operation or locale does not carry with it the right, implicit or otherwise, to ignore (much less supercede) the rules of said establishment.
You cannot walk into a movie theater, and -- because you paid to get in -- stage a noisy, drunken party in the center of the lobby. Admission to any city's art museum doesn't grant the paying patron the "right" to scrawl on the walls, or conduct an impromptu indoor game of softball.
A basic understanding, re: the sanctity of private property, is a baseline tenet of conservatism, and always has been. Period, end of sentence, full stop.
It’s that temptation to say, no I don’t which gets us every time...
What exactly is the problem with baiting? Jim wanted to find out who the liberals were and give them the opportunity to either become conservative or leave, he didn’t force these liberals to out themselves.
So who are you pimping for then? RR’s gone so who floats your boat now, and why should we vote for him...other than the fact that he or she isn’t Rudy.
Doesn’t in my opinion. I just don’t believe Rudy would do anything different in substance than Hillary to be honest...But I could even vote for (shudder, shudder, shudder) McCain for the good of the party.
This is a bridge we will have to cross if we get to it. And it will be a matter of conscience.
Until then, I will work like the dickens. And try to not tear us apart on hypotheticals.
So true! But there is also no honor in not defending oneself against false accusations. I would also defend a friend as well. :)
She's one of the moderators at the newest anti-FReeper forums. She was upset that conservatives "have their foot on the throat of the GOP."
Well said
