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?
Guess what? My SIL sent me a whole big bag of yarn....
Woo hoo!! Great job!!
It goes on constantly.
We won every single race we were involved in last election cycle.
Any more personal information you want, troll?
You mean the Ruby Slippers? I done awarded them last night to someone else - so I don't have them any more.
Don't agree. Sorry.
I absolutely respect your decision NOT to hold your nose and vote for Rudy, as long as you also accept my decision to vote third party in '00 and '04.
I bet your life is rather forlorn since CP went down.
Oleo is a four letter word in baking. I usually have Ghirardelli chips, but Nestle will be the chips du jour.

OK....then it’s true, that WAS said over there. I didn’t doubt you, gpapa, I didn’t want to believe that things like that would happen.
When this all started, I really did NOT care one way or another if Ivan started a forum and like-minded folk joined him.
But to PLAN to come here & goad FRers...and then act innocent when they’re called on it...that crosses a line with me.
That is flat out WRONG. Go and have your forum, do what you can to support your guy...but why does THIS have to happen???
Alan Keyes won??? I missed it!
“If you support him, knowing his positions on those issues, then you are supporting those issues. Those are major issues. I simply can’t fathom why someone who holds the opposing positions on those issues would support him.”
EASY.
Rudy’s the front-runner.
If Rudy gets the nomination he’ll be up against Hillary Clinton.
Many of us would rather support someone we disagree with on some (or even most) major issues than someone with whom we disagree on EVERY SINGLE ISSUE.
Alan Keyes always wins, since he stands for the fundamental principles of liberty. You, on the other hand, are a loser.

Which natural law theory are you referring to? There is not just one theory of natural law. Certain religious-based natural law theories definitely do have a problem with homosexuality - and as I said, I am not concerned with that. I am not the least bit concerned with what others do in their bedrooms nor in what specific religions interpret as "natural law" - except as a point of interest. I am concerned with the documents that the Founders left us and that they are interpreted as was intended. I do not care for the idea of amending and tinkering to appease any special-interest group, be it on the left or the right.
Think a setpoint will help you keep up? ;)
Please go away.
***NO. I’ve been on this thread since almost the beginning. I’ve been on FR since almost the beginning, longer than you. While you’ve been off posting funny pictures, some of us socons were getting our bones gnawed at by some of those ex-freepers you call your FRiends. And you come onto this thread and post material offensive to religious conservatives. You apologized to KAC but you let the comment still stand.
I support JimRob 110%.
***Then help him refocus this socon site into a socon site.
I have just lost all my FRiends.
***I understand that. I have expressed grief earlier in this thread as well, hoping that it would come to an end. But today we see that there have been FReepers who admitted that they were agent provocateurs for many years. So my advice to you is to get off this thread. Stay on Free Republic.
You pick up the paper one day and read that they’re all gone!
***Maybe if you had been reading the paper closer all along you would have seen this coming. Go back over the rudy threads from a couple of months ago onward and you will see that they brought this on themselves. They were not in alignment with the core values of Free Republic.

People, we need to get over the FR site and start posting articles and commenting. We have to help WA grow. I know it's hard to find interesting articles because the MSM is treating all Republican candidates with a big yawn, but we need things to discuss besides FR which is getting old quickly.
Thanks. Looks like that poster is saying that its better to post news articles then it is to post criticisms of FR.
Sounds like good advice.
