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

Posted on 04/21/2007 6:42:25 PM PDT by 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?

Good to see you made it onto this historic thread, yellowdoghunter.

Hope to be seeing more of you around now that the Queen harpy and most of the little harpies have flown the coop.

Sorry, I missed the remark that preceded your comment.
I wish them well at DC and hope they stay there.

BTW, there were only a couple of real scientists in that crowd, all the others piled on with “what he said, so there”
but if you are not an evolutionist, you are not a “scientist” - so by their definition, most of the scientists have left ;-)

Thanks for that rb....at times I felt very unwelcomed around here.

And then I was thinking that maybe FR was moving away from me, which was fine, things change, but I am glad to see that I was wrong. I think some people have a love/hate relationship with FR.

They loved FR. And apparently hated conservatives. They just wanted us to vote for whoever the pubbie was, and all that conservative activism was noise from the flyover country mouth-breathing rabble.

For easier birds, you could put up a regular tube feeder and use the black oil sunflower seeds

I had a bag of mixed seeds that my son bought instead of black sunflower seeds. I used them once because didn't want to waste them. The birds just didn't seem interested. I went back to black sunflower seeds and I have so many beautiful little birds.

Course, they love my pond and waterfall the best.

“Bears repeating. If I’m not mistaken, that pretty much jibes with the message Jim Robinson originally posted at the start of this thread.”


As the strongest defender of FR on a thread that was largely to clear the air with the anti FR people that had taken root here, we all knew that you were going to come under attack for a long time.

Thanks for working so hard for, and standing up to so much abuse on freerepublic’s behalf.

I had just accepted that fact that they ran FR and it would probably be best for me just to read and move on. I am glad to see things are changing.

All the support for Rudy that I was seeing really caught me off-guard. I couldn't believe that Conservatives could even think about electing someone like him. I am glad to see that FR is not going down that path, even though I realize that FR does not officially endorse anyone. It was just the tone of the forum.

I am glad you are still here fighting the good fight, which you are very good at.

All I wanted was a place where conservatives could meet, discuss, butt heads from time to time but not carry grudges.

Any more, their grudges were taking over the site, along with their attempts to drive FR leftwards. So it's great to see some of the old-school freepers coming back.

Hi Reagan Man, I always knew you would defend the traditional Conservative values no matter how many names you were called or what-have-you.

I do plan on being around more and helping to do whatever I can to keep Rudy from being our nominee.

Keep up the good work, you always post good information.

Me too. I can't carry a grudge for that long, my memory won't let me...:)
