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?
Sorry. But that one was too egregious to just let pass. I’m trying to be good, really! ;-)
Okay. Rumors are like tumors, so my bad. I wish her luck nontheless.
I love Free Republic.
Let’s lock this thread.
Yea!! Hey WorkerBee!
I see about four people on that list I’ll miss. And only one of those will I miss a lot. I’ve been through about four cycles of these now and threads that made this one look like a game of patty cake. The Westerfield threads gave us “The Smoky Backroom” they were so nasty. Pick any Schiavo thread or regular Crevo thread from a few years back and you’ll see some truly vile posting.
This will make 5 people that have vanished from this forum in the last 7 years that I really cared about. Only 2 of those have been zotted. I can’t count the number people that I thought were interesting or worthwhile that have been zotted or otherwise faded away. The funny thing is, the ones that disagreed me and locked horns with me in CIVIL DISCUSSION are the ones I miss the most. People who agree with you are dime a dozen on this forum. The gems are those that will argue with you without turning into Clymers (big time) while doing it.
< shrugs > Stick around another 5 years... Who knows, maybe one of these days you’ll see me ride the lightning. You may even cheer that on and draw some flames from some one that actually thinks this forum “lost a great conservative” by zotting me.
With your expert psychoanalysis, to which category/s do you put the RunningWolf, :^)
I noticed that it will be your last post as you said on DC. Lots of handclapping and such and I am sure you are amused. So be it. Not a terrific last post.
It’s more that some of us are having a hard time swallowing the massive dose of hypocrisy evident throughout this disgusting thread, right up to the “Awww, let the wounds heal! Can’t we all just get along?” end.
Bless you, MM!
Oh, I don't really support Guiliani, either, being more of a Romney type of person. I will, however, support whoever gets the nomination, even if it's McCain (whom I despise).
I don't support any of those, either. And I'd have a hard time voting for McCain -- for this campaign he's a born-again conservative
Awfully defensive, eh?
LOL
Whatever.
Howdy JW my FRiend.
LOL...
Curious. Mad Ivan is British, correct? I am surprised that the infancy of the GOP would be such a source of inspiration with him.
Somewhat like one of us exploring the roots of "Barkers". Another chunk of bizarre in a weird world...
President Bush isn't perfect. He is doing the best he can under unimaginable attacks both at home and abroad, while dealing with a ruthless and evil enemy who desires the destruction of this nation.
All of us should pray for him every day, like our lives depended on it...for in fact, they do.
