Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?
vanity | April 21, 2007 | 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?

Oh, that would explain it. I’ve seen that before and couldn’t figure out how you could reply without replying to anything specific.

Now I know!

That all seems very easy to understand, and reasonable.

I like the FRiendly advice herding folks to the holy bugzapper, and laying the blame on the moderators.

Everything is their fault .. /sarc >

I just saw this post about Nopardons and Howlin. It is one of your typical vulgar comments and really reflects poorly on this forum, which is suppposed to be family friendly (or so I thought).

A gentleman would have second thoughts and ask that it be deleted.

I’m willing to bet that more than just you and I agree on this item. If Freepers are upset about how the core values are being reinvigorated, they should follow up with a ping to JimRob and maybe something good will come out of this.

Lord have mercy. Do you not have a life outside FR? Every time I come on this thread, it seems like every other comment is yours. Day or night, 24 hours a day. What do you think you’re accomplishing? So, many long-time FReepers have been run off the forum. Woo-hoo. You and your compadres have been more successful than you could have imagined. “Come to the light.” Oh, wow. Giggle, giggle.

I am not a supporter of Rudy Guiliani. My only real hope is that Fred Thompson enters the race. But damn, you people are disgusting. You pat each other on the back and woo-hoo every time you run off better Freepers than you. It’s sickening.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever been on one of these threads with you where you didn’t cause some kind of disruption.

These threads aren’t about you. Lots of people are reading them and most don’t give one damn about what makes you mad.

Grow up.

FR is a conservative site. We are not one or the other, we are both fiscally AND socially conservative.

FR is Pro-God, Pro-family, pro-liberty, pro-constitution, pro-capitalism, pro-defense, pro-small (constitutionally limited) government and pro-constitutionally limited taxing and spending, etc.

I believe the federal government should be stripped down to only those functions enumerated and authorized for it in the constitution. If we truly need a new department or function in the federal government, then a constitutional amendment should be proposed, debated, enacted and ratified first. And as Americans will reject most proposed amendments out of hand, that would automatically prohibit all of the unconstitutional socialist clap trap that the liberals/progressives/socialists et al have either legislated in or unconstitutionally adjudicated in via the liberal activist judiciary.

The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing. We need to get back to original intent.

Think about it.

Getting banned from FR is always more of an honor then just leaving on any of those anti-FR sites. Gives them more status and more reason to grouse and shred FR and JR.
