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?

And you Rudy haters bring up his divorce and his stance on guns, but you forget that Ronald Reagan was divorced (and wasn't Nancy preggers when they got married?) and he supported the Brady Bill.

Here we go again. Mischaracterizing Ronald Reagan's record in an attempt to make your pro-abortion, pro-radical gay agenda, pro-gun grabbing, pro-illegal immigration liberal candidate look better along with calling conservative FReepers "haters" isn't good for your life expectancy. I smell ozone.

I’ve said it before, but I will repeat it here again.

Standing up for principals, at the sacrifice of some temporary loss, is better than compromising those principals for a temporary gain.

I wasn’t around for MiaT, but Peach asked to be zotted over and over again. She obviously wanted out of FR.

You are welcome to claim the label of “pragmatism” if you want and call us belligerent if you want.

If you read earlier in this thread, you saw me apologize to someone for my heated rhetoric. I support Fred Thompson as a pragmatist. Hunter or Tancredo would be my choices, except after following politics for forty years I know that the lower house doesn’t produce presidents. It’s hard enough for the upper house to do it.

So I support Fred Thompson, whom I could nitpick about the twenty percent of the time he’s done something I don’t like. He’s electable. He’s got the intangibles, and I want to win.

Now your guy has none of that. He’s an eighty percenter the other way. We start with that as a baseline. On every major issue he is a Democrat, not a Republican, unless you consider Lincoln Chafee and Susan Collins to be the mainstream of our party.

I want you to note that I have shown you no hostility. For months I have posted similar explanations of why we don’t want Rudy. I get one sentence answers. mostly insults, calling me a nazi or an “all or nothing” or a “wingnut,” which is what they call us at DU.

Rudy is a liberal. I will fight hard to keep him from winning the nomination. A choice between a bronchitis and pneumonia does not appeal to me.

You’re either pro Life and Liberty or you’re not. This organization is. If you’re not, maybe you should move on to DU or some other pro death and slavery site.

While highly unlikely in today’s political arena, yes, but not impossible. I am praying for a miracle as are many others. Only the Lord can work that miracle.

Suicide posters on a mission. Maybe more than Rudy the liberal is involved here.

Is the relinquishment of the trial by jury and the liberty of the press necessary for your liberty? Will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your liberty? Liberty, the greatest of all earthly blessings — give us that precious jewel, and you may take every things else! Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.

“Suicide posters on a mission. “

Apparently another one at 4997.

Wouldn’t ‘bye bye’ been good enough?
