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?

It looks like the news about this thread is getting out to the rest of the Conservative World: link

Oh, you did NOT just refer to KOS as the "rest of the conservative world." LOL

He is a Brit. His position is that the President of the United States is the leader of the Free world and CIC of the army fighting the war on terror, and that therefor he DOES have a dog in this hunt.

As do we all.

Just quoting our Dear Leader, CharlesWayneCT.
Apparently he thinks it's ok to respond to annoying posts with an "UYA." And as we are all reminded 100 times per day, it's "Jim's House." Take it up with him.


Ahhh that's nice. Now you're drawing a comparison between Jim Robinson and the genocidal Kim Jong Il?

We'll sure enough take it up with Jim.

Pack your bags, I hear your train coming down the line, nonstop to WA.

See. You can't pretend to know what anyone is. And certainly I don't judge others, some of whom I know for a fact have been pretty active in the Dayton Right to Life movement.

And "support?" Well, I'll certainly VOTE for anyone other than Hillary, including Rudy or Romney. So mangle that as you will.

Lately you've offer nothing but ignorance and arrogance on FR. Its been sad seeing so many FReepers go off the deep end. Btw, you maybe good with images and pixels, just not with political rhetoric.

Slander people however you want. I'm just telling you the facts, and you're welcome to ignore them. Here in OH, our two pro-life candidates got KILLED in 2006, which meant a heckuva lot of pro-lifers didn't vote for them but voted for the other guys.

So maybe instead of questioning their motives, we should get their votes.

” Why do you do that; and, moreso, when they cannot respond? “

Why can’t she respond? I looked and her account isn’t banned or suspended. Am I missing something? Why do you make this stuff up? She is free to respond to any post she wants to.

“What proof do you have that she is a crazy liberal?”

Excellent question. Allow me to answer. Yesterday, MT freepmailed JR to let him know she was reporting someone on FR to the FBI for posting a picture of someone beating up a computer (or something like that). She somehow perceived this as a threat being made towards someone (who?). If you saw the picture, and what was written in the post, you would know there was no such threat made towards anyone. I think only a paranoid or crazy person would be able perceive this ridiculous post as a threat. She's gonna call the FBI for that? That's not crazy???

Calling her a liberal is easy. Anyone who’s supports an ultra-liberal republican, like Rudy, calling them a liberal is pretty lame in my opinion. If a person can’t take the heat of a vigorous debate and being called a liberal (gasp), then maybe it’s time to “get out of the kitchen”.

“IMO, to call a true conservative a liberal is defaming them.”

How do you defame a name (a handle) on a forum? That’s all M. Thatcher is, and that’s all many of us are here—a handle. I have no clue who M. Thatcher is, and most people have no clue who I am, so how do people that are unseen, or unknown, get defamed? Me thinks you are playing the victim card for your dear friend, MT. Victimhood is not a conservative value—ya know?

It seems it can never be emphasized enough here--FR is a conservative forum where we come together to promote conservative candidates and conservative policies. We are not here to promote liberal candidates who make liberal polices. Why do people who disagree with FR mission statement feel as if they have some special calling to come here and disrupt this place by tearing down conservatives and promoting a liberal candidate? There are plenty of other forums out there for that. In fact, several freepers have left here to participate on those forums, including M.Thatcher. What’s wrong with those forums over there? Isn’t it more Christian to “turn the other cheek”, and walk away, instead of continuing to disrupt this place by trying to convince conservatives here to vote for a liberal? What’s so Christian about being divisive and posting things that are contrary to the rules and policies of this forum? Posting things that provoke people only adds more fuel to the fire, and that’s not a Christian thing to do—is it?

Most of the Rooty Tooters are here for one purpose--to argue and attack conservative candidates. They often tell us that we are an unneeded and unwanted minority of the republican party. Sorry, that doesn’t go over well with conservatives here, and no one is going to be shy about letting them know how we feel about it. If you, or others are here to post things that are contrary to the mission statement, and goals of FR, then you have no business being here. Why is that so hard to understand?

Ah okay, so now I am under suspicion and can be lined up with the usual suspects at the train station.. When in doubt, purge. Placed in historical context, that is interesting.

Look, I have made two points.

1 - I am sad some of my FRiends are gone, and

2 - My biggest concern is our near-term survival from what may be the most perilous threat we have ever faced. The jihadists.

Finally - no, I won't do it - I was going to tell you who I support at this point. But, it is my right to keep this to myself. Have a great day.

You're projecting.

Don't insult our intelligence by trying to say that your use of the term 'Dear Leader' when referring to JimRob was not a slur directed at him.

Better finish your opus, if you plan to post it before the inevitable zot.

Has Jim responded to you yet, little gnat?

What are you going to do if you don’t get your wish? What if I don’t get banned?

Will you take your toys and go home?

We all have to make our own decisions, based on our own good decisions and beliefs and motivations.

I cannot compromise on pro-life, though.

I offer you this mangle. ;)

I am home. And you can't play with my toys either.

Totally different viewpoint!

“Rudy would pick up a large number of the so-called independents and Reagan Democrats who do NOT like our social positions, but do not trust the Dems on the WoT.”

I really think some people misclassified the Reagan Dem’s and Ind’s that often vote Republican.

The Lion’s share of that group only reject the Dem candidates on the issues of Guns and Abortion. That is common knowledge in political circles that even the Dem strategists will admit.

Rudy will get damn few of those voters because he sides with the Rats on those issues.

Rudy isn’t going to pull many Libertarian votes being an authoritarian and a gun grabber.

That leaves the WOT which any of the top Republicans will be equal or better on.

Doesn’t sound like a winning plan to me.
