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?
lol...
“Sober since 2-18-98”
Sober since 2-5-94, where I also learned restraint of tongue and pen, and the serenity prayer too.

He is a legend in his own mind. Can’t stop going everywhere to tell people how smart he is. He will never get a scientific journal wrote wasting his time bragging about himself.
>>I got really unhappy with Splenda a few months ago when I read a doctor’s report that the stuff DOES have calories. It can be advertised as zero calories under the arcane rules of federal bureaucracy,<<
Yep, by rounding even bacon could be a “zero calorie food” if you made the serving size small enough.
>>They wouldnt have you anyway. They are far less tolerant of dissenting opinion than JR is. Here, they can support evolution. There, you cant support creation.<<
Believing the first life was created doesn’t conflict with the evidence - rational scientists don’t argue otherwise. Its when someone claims that the earth is only 6,000 years old that people with science backgrounds tend to assume the person is not reasonable enough to bother with.
To clarify, the term “young earth creationist” is sometimes used.
It is not widely known, but that dating was not done by the Bishop of Ussher. It was done by a scientist -- one who would be on anyone's list of the top twenty who ever lived, Johannes Kepler. Ussher merely redid and checked the calculation later, and arrived at a nearly identical figure (I think it differed by twelve years). If I recall, Kepler published his result in Mysterium Cosmographicum (1596).
The calculation was, of course, biblical exegesis, and we suppose we have better methods of dating now.
18110 should have been addressed to you also.
Stand by for the No Fat Bacon Company. Fortunes can be made :-)

Not the least of which is how long it would take to deposit the layers of the grand canyon, have them compress, bend and fold and then have water wear down through a mile of solid rock.
Unfortunately, some of these have already returned.
On to no-calorie peanut butter.
Unfortunate indeed, unless they have a change of heart and rededicate themselves to Free Republic's philosophy and rules. We are all better parted unless we share the same broad conservative view and sense of fair play.
Any idea which are back and why?
No, but I recall seeing one suspended, then she was back on in a couple of days, then disappeared again. I think they are all over at WideAwakes licking their wounds.
To say that the moral law is "whatever I say it is," and one person's moral law is just as good as the other guy's ("different strokes for different folks"), is tantamount to saying there is no moral law. Period. All becomes "relative" to the needs and desires of my ego....
You cannot have a just, secure society premised on such a shaky basis.... FWIW
