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?
YES!
lol!
Good job!
If you had to beat me, at least it was a flag! :-)
I cheated.
I had the post ready to go and just waited for 17999.
:0)
Beautiful!
Maybe I’ll get 18,000...
I actually like 18,001 because it shows up on the next screen scrolling over.
Go Free REpublic!
lol...
Glad to tee it up for ya! :-)
Nice pic. Real nice.
At least you got to start the next ‘18000’.
I was going to go bigger, but I was afraid it would take to long to post.
Yeah, I bracketed ya. :-)
Oh, all right. Darth T'wit, then.
LOL C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!!!!!!
Do you know if there is any coverage of Glenn Beck special tonight? Thread?
Not that I’m aware of.
Pleased to meet you. But I'm not a twit. I'm T'wit. :-)
I’m blushing now....
lol!
Thanks
OK, Thanks. I could not find it. Headline News at 7 and 9. The other side of Global Warning and Gore statistics, I think.
Congratulations on 18,000, I suppose...
It’s time for me to log off this thread a second time (I came back on for the Jedward/EV wierdness).
I don’t think I’ll respond to posts from this thread, it’s time to let it whither away. I will try to respond from another thread, we’ll see how that goes.
I nominate post #9,728 as the best of the thread. So simple, yet apparently so difficult to do for those who are so tied in knots.

Thanks! I was actually looking for that very post, more than once. I could not find it because this thread is so unwieldy.
I’m copying it here again so I don’t have to remember who wrote it (which was one reason I couldn’t find it last time).
Good Post, Iwo Jima.

I think that where this is leading is that those who have used FreeRepublic to push something fundamentally contrary to the concept of conservatism have lost their springboard for pushing their views. They will have to go to some other forum to advocate their positions.
I am a libertarian who votes Republican most of the time and identifies with conservatism most of the time. Posting on FreeRepublic has never been a problem for me because, to the extent that there is any divergence between my libertarian views and the prevailing conservative views of this website, I do not use this forum to advance any contradictory positions.
That’s really not so hard to absorb, is it?
