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?
This is Jim's site and it is an expression of his vision of what conservatism ought to be. The rest of us are posting here because we agree with that vision. We don't agree on all points, that would be impossible, but we share a core set of beliefs. Giuliani doesn't share that set of core beliefs with us. Many of his supporters on this forum used to share those beliefs. They jettisoned those beliefs in their mania to support Giuliani. The more disruptive members of that group have, understandably, been shown the door.
Wonderful post! I’m pinging Jim to it, as I would hate for him to miss it.
This new evidence suggests Rudiphilia is a devastating mental impairment.
Now, now, that might just play into Al's fantasies. You're too old for that.
My order:
God
The sacredness of life
Doing the right thing, even when I don’t want to (and a lot of times I don’t and lot of times I fail)
Shedding the light where I am called (being nice, responding to the call to help, trying to make something work).
The direction of my nation
The safety of my family
My safety.
That’s pretty much how I see it. Like I said, we have to see what we believe in, and order our priorities accordingly.
That made me laugh. I love how Rudy's 'conservative' supporters have switched to liberal terms to describe Rudy. Hillary has always been called pro-abortion around here, but they call their boy pro-choice. I mean really have you seen one of his supporters say, 'Yes, Rudy is pro-abortion.' I've seen them call Rudy pro-choice, a little pro-choice, and more pro-life than pro-choice. It's crazy. The man is pro-abortion, they should just own up to it and quit trying to make excuses for him on that issue.
Or will he just run around standing on piles of rubble rallying the troops after the latest set of bombings?
No thanks... We have better options.
Duncan Hunter. Ron Paul. Fred Thompson. Any two of which would make an unbeatable ticket for '08.
Right. Because corrupt RINOs had destroyed the brand.
It is well documented that the liberals and the liberal media went after Rudy. In fact, Dennis Miller talks about it as the catalyst for his conversion into the Republican camp. He said all he heard from his liberal friends was what a Nazi Guiliani was. He said their hysteria was beyond belief. And then, when he actually went to NY and saw the change, it was then he realized just how over the top the liberal movement was. I’m just reporting. In this case, you’re wrong...and I won’t debate it.
His bitching about certain topics being posted in the news forum is unintentionally hilarious. He's worth having around.
Moreover, the likelihood of an AQ attack in such a way that I, with my shotgun, can affect the outcome is just silly. The next attack won't leave any room for guns. It will be big.
2) I disagree. I listened to the speeches at C-PAC and wasn't at all impressed with Romney's ability to fight the WoT. McCain is too crazy---truly a Dr. Strangelove. Hunter and Brownback don't stand a chance in Hades, so there is really no sense talking about them. So it's really Rudy, Romney, or if they choose to run, Fred or Newt. But they haven't yet.
bttt
“Purity over Victory!” is the cry and the end result will be the Hildebeast in the White House.
I’ve never said that. In fact, I got BLASTED here on FR because I kept saying on election day we would win because everything I saw in my canvassing said the conservatives would turn out. They did, but the indies and middle-of-the-roaders did too, and didn’t vote with us.

Nah, just the mouth-breating brown shirts - lol
The central plank of the Rudy platform is that he's the only one who can defeat Hillary. What happens to the Giuliani candidacy when Hillary doesn't capture the Dem nomination?
I respect Giuliani for his work as prosecutor and mayor, but that doesn't mean I'm ready to pull the lever for him in light of his stances on other issues. If he is the Republican nominee, then I'll most likely vote for him over the Democrat. That's still almost 18 months away, though.
Hillary got into the battle waaaayyyyy too early, and Clinton fatigue is setting in, as evidenced by the increase in her negatives. She should have waited until October/November, but now her base of individual donors is maxed out, and the blacks are getting on board with Obama.
Have you been keeping up on the recent pieces he's been writing? People without an intention of running do not write articles like his.
