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?
Physician, heal thyself!
“Right. Because corrupt RINOs had destroyed the brand.”
Bingo!
What the HELL is political conservative? A small gov’t type? I’d be willing to bet 90% of these so called “social conservatives” you deride would be just like me and want to shitcan the Dept of Ed, BATF, HUD, Homeland Security and roll it back to the FBI and CIA, DSHS and about 75% of the nonsense the feds currently do.
How’s that for political conservativism? Just because we ALSO want to protect the 2A, the 1A, the 4A and the constitutional rights of the most innocent members of society, does not mean that we are not “politically conservative”.
Now if some sap strolls along and suggests abortion is a “constitutional right” that we taxpayers must fund and that we need to go after “special interests” that have blocked reforms on global warming then I would call that POS a liberal. Political, social, moral and otherwise.
Well, there was a time, we were considered a serious political discussion site.
Rudy a political conservative. That's news to me.
:-D
Well, I certainly have a different *opinion* . . .
I've found that it is impossible to retain bitterness against your enemies once you begin to pray for them.
I am for Fred Thompson. He should be announcing soon. Since you seem to be sincere, I would be happy to try to answer any questions you may have about him. :)
I gather you failed Logic 101...lol.
Oh, and thanks for the prayers.
Sanctimonious hypocrite.
Hmmmm.
I've been following the thread. I think I see something rather different happening.
What does being a “Limbaugh staffer” prove?
LOL. How long ago was this?
As far as I can tell, that stature has been corrupted mostly by the folks who seek a cult of personality. You can tell who they are by the way they swarm onto threads, post falsehoods, support people like Arnold and Rudy against all logic, etc. They also happen to be many of the people recently banned.
So stick around - I suspect the level of discourse will be elevated around this site once this thread blows over.
If you knew everything you think you know, you’d be dangerous. But since you know nothing, or should I say that what you think you know is wrong, you’re merely an amusement, and a cause for prayer for your return to being the warrior for Christian conservatism you were a few years back.
