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 we do. And kudos to your big bro. :-)
Here’s some more good stuff, cg.
I am only 900 posts behind.... ARGHHHH......must go back to lurking....;^)
Wrong. [ZOT]
Every Giuliani thread is a Sopranos Live thread, in more ways than one...
I have an idea that this is going to be a ‘Marathon’ post.
So you will have plenty of time to catch up.
"Because you are losing a tremendous amount of intellectual prowess, both by banning and by self imposed exile, you are eliminating the balance that made it the website to wake up to."
I wonder why some people even bother to post. Oh never mind.....DU *suicide runs* ( as they like to call them)
Are you still here?
True...the “TOAKers” did a good thing!
As I told a few posters a long time ago, you will never buy Jim Robinson. I'm sorry that you felt like you could.
I count 10 to date.
Except Rudy took down the REAL Italian Mafia in NY. The Sopranos is fiction. Great fiction, but fiction.
Alec Baldwin could play Bernie Keric.
Alec Baldwin could play Bernie Keric.
Who would play Rudy? PeeWee Herman?
That's exactly what it is and some want us to get in bed with it. Not this ole gal, never.
You’re right, and I agree. What we’re seeing here is the inevitable consequence of a pressure cooker left too long without release.
It’s not FreeRepublic’s finest hour, nor its worst. The rhetoric is overheated at the moment, and passions at play, but if you look closely at the transactions - the interplay - you’ll see that no one had to be ejected from the site. Those who have been banned did so through their own (mis)deeds.
I went back and re-read Jim’s original rant (was it that long ago already?!). Nowhere in it was there an prohibition against Rudy threads. Nowhere in it was an edict to “think as I do or else”. What I saw was the owner’s expressed desire to get the site back where he wants it; centered on Conservative values and focussed against our true enemies, the Dhimmis. I welcome the reaffirmation.
Are you actually saying that the Mafia is gone from NYC?
Hold it, you condemned judging earlier, but now you have no problem with doing it.
HYPOCRITES
To me a hypocrite is one that condemns someone for doing something and does it thyself... thus you have proven yourself to be a .... Hypocrite...
I was taught that to love Jesus is to love one another and to be tolerant of each other and to try to understand another's view point without being judgmental.
I ask you to not spout such nonsense... the "judge not" crowd forgets that Jesus says "judge not... You Hypocrite..." and then later in the same verse tells how to correctly judge "remove the plank from you own eye first".
So since you say not to judge, but then judge (do what you say what others should not do, ie..hypocrite), I suggest you remove the plank from your eye first before your next tirade.
I agree. If Rudy gets the nomination, the last real hope for conservatives could wind up being Australia.
