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?
Yeeeeeeeees in about an hour...
It’ll be ME #10,000
:)
ROFL
Snorf! :-)
Are you starting to lose it?
Talking to yourself is generally the first sign of INSANITY!
lol!
You better not get another blender!!!! LMAOOOO!
— Oh yeah! Real mature, you bed-wetter!
Hey! That was only one time! No fair bringing that up.
At least I’m not a sycophant, like you are—always buttering up jimrob with, “Ooh, Jimmy! Your site is so great!”
Achhh! Makes me puke!
ROFL!! Love ya, BG. :)
Why’s Fierce absent?
I expected you to fight.... but I thought you'd fight better. Your forum isn't behaving like a serious political force right now... it's ranting like a bunch of guys at a bar who've had a few too many.
There's a fine line between idealism that inspires a political following, and a shrill hysteria that makes people want to take a few steps back.
Sell your point of view. Be better than the alternative, not meaner. I honestly don't think angry is going to sway a single voter.
That's all... I'm actually saying this because I really do hope a Republican president is elected next term. I do not want to nullify every one of our losses in the WOT by electing someone to office who does not even value American victory over terrorism. And I don't want to tick you off or have to leave this forum, it would truly break my heart. I meant it when I said my best friends are here. The ones who flew out from all over the country to be at my wedding, and those who followed along on this forum from home. There's real good people here. I just had a knot in my stomach reading this thread where people are salivating at the chance to drive yet more people away... that just doesn't make any sense to me.

Well, if it bothers you so much, why don’t you ping him then? Huh? Ping him on me and get me banned why don’t you?!
R U gonna kick your own ass?
Establishing with clarity where FR stands on this issue as regards Rudy and the desire and push for many to run of the conservative cliff in supporting him is something, as I have said, I am glad to see.
And...in the end, it will make FR stronger, and be an example for the GOP to look to and immulate in returning to those core values thatd efine us as a people and a nation.
That some of the former members of this forum are coming out and indicating that those core values are "dead", or that those days are over, is sad...and a betrayal of the core moral principles upon which this nation was founded IMHO.
A sad day, but one I suppose that sooner or later had to come given the huge differences in moral underpinnings.
If allowed to mature without clear and unambiguous opposition to fruition, with a Rudy candidacy, the GOP would not even be able to be called DNC-lite IMHO. It would have transmorphed itself into the very thing it opposed on principle for so many years.
— Ping him on me and get me banned why don’t you?!
Hey, listen. You don’t suppose he’d, like, you know, get all upset about our little rant eating up all his bandwidth and storage, would you?
They were more concerned with the GOP than with conservative values.
I’m really beginning to wonder just how much of the conservative movement many of them embraced. The last seven years have been a constant battle to keep them from dragging FR too far leftwards.
***Worth repeating. Succinct and insightful.
Yes, but which one of you should he ban?
No on this thread its the honor and excitement of the chase and win....
:)
ROFL
— ...upset about our little rant eating up all his bandwidth and storage, would you?
Hmm. Didn’t think of that. See ya later.
Prolly will if he/she can find it....;-)
“I think it will make it to 10,000!”
Not going to be a problem...
