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?

The last I checked, his account was still active.

Good. I hope his posts remain here as a monument to his stupid "exit."

My point was just to say he can't fool us by choosing never again to post as Al Simmons. Whether his account remains open or not, he will open a new account.

“Whether his account remains open or not, he will open a new account.”

Possibly, although I think his IP address might give him away!

“You’re going to have to do better than to keep claiming that “real conservatism” could have won in 2006. I wish it were otherwise, but I won’t fool myself.”

So what is your plan for getting the middle roaders and indies back. They are hopelessly indoctrinated with liberal megaphones of the educators and media, constantly.

I’m sure that if the conservatives give up and vote for Giuliani that would be detrimental in the long run to conservatism. That seems clear to me.

Fred Thompson fits every one of your criteria. And he’s upbeat and fun, too. :)

“We used to call that the Lt. Columbo exit.”

LOL.

Off topic I know, but.....
Trivia Question: What is Lt. Columbo's first name?

Who is the “Limbaugh staffer” referenced in that post?

I wondered that too. Who, from NY or FL (assuming that's where his staffers are) has been banned or quit since this thread was posted?

Your odds of dying in a terrorist attack are minuscule compared to your odds of dying at the hands of a violent criminal. How many murders were there in the US last year? And how many American civilians died from terrorist attacks? As I said before, Rudy’s gun policies will get you killed long before his imagined anti-terror record has a chance to save you.

There are a huge number of good people still here. You for instance.

This "Rudy-hater" is going to second that. I've never known OWF to be anything other than an asset to this site, and a very pleasant individual to boot. I think some of the abuse she's taken on this thread was uncalled for. She's one of the "good guys".

This thread -- gosh.

FR's night of the long knives.

FR will be a very, very different place going forward, apparently.

I would caution you to take that info with not just a grain of salt, but with enough saline for the entire Atlantic Ocean.

“FR will be a very, very different place going forward, apparently.”

Yes, a place were conservatives can advance their ideals without people trying to sell liberalism as conservatism.

PKM was asked serveral times if she was working with the Rudy campaign. It was a legitimate question based on her own comments. In fact, from reading her comments about Rudy it was like watching those teenagers on American Idol swoon over Sanjaya. I don’t know of anyone who goes ga-ga for Rudy as much as PKM did here. Anyway, in spite of being asked again and again if she was a campaign worker for Rudy, she simply avoided answering the question. About two weeks ago, when she announced her departure from here, she finally admitted that she has an official role with Rudy’s campaign. Since February of this year PKM has been on a Pro-Rudy site that consists of mostly ex-freepers (and some active freepers). Nothing wrong with that, except to say that she wasn’t being totally upfront with us about her relationship with Rudy. The only person that “impuned” PKM’s integrity is herself. Had she been upfront about this from the beginning and answered the questions about her involvement with Rudy, no one would be discussing this. If that’s not deceptive and dishonest then I don’t know what is.

“...I’m a one-issue voter: Pro-torture. That pretty well sums up a lot of people’s feelings. If you don’t begin by protecting the lives of the living, there is no pro-life movement. And that’s a fact.”

...and we can’t have a conservative anti terror nominee why?
