BURNIN' DOWN THE TENT!!!
Do we want action? Yes, we do!!!
Are we willing to take a giant step forward and create a central action site that allows us to see at a glance every single state’s candidates for national office, House and Senate, to separate the wheat from the chaff? That is our hope. We want to spend our money, our time, and our votes wisely. Our time is JUST as valuable as the money we spend.
The goal is to take back and take over the GOP, or move it out of the way, and elect conservatives to every office we can affect whether the RNC likes it or not.
To do this, we need a clearinghouse and a plan of action that encompasses all 50 states in ONE place. That place is Free Republic. THIS is where we nationalize the 2010 election cycle and choose where our money and our time is spent. The genius of Free Republic is that it already has the 50 state message boards. We don’t have to “google” our way through hundreds of candidates in individual states to find out who is who doing what. It’s already here, just not out in the public eye. This will change that.
I, and others, have repeatedly asked Freepers to present workable ideas with this goal in mind, and there have been many, but the two I am going to post here are comprehensive, have been well thought out over a long period of time, and the magic of it is that it has never been tried before...and THAT is precisely why it will work.
Freeper blueyon, (the originator of RINO FREE AMERICA PROJECT on FaceBook,) and I have worked on the idea to have each state message board create individual STATE BY STATE threads on the forum which presents information ONLY about their national congressional candidates.
We need their candidates’ names, pictures, platforms, voting records, (if applicable,) backgrounds, opinions, newslinks, statements, and whatever other information might be available including links to candidate’s’ websites if they exist.
The state message boards are full of much of this information and no one knows local politics like the locals. It’s time to make local politics national, and here is where we do it. Fifty states, fifty threads, ALL politics will be Free Republic Local politics.
Freepers have the best researchers in the business. We need that right here, right now if we are going to burn down the RINO tent and do it effectively. They will NOT be allowed to silence us again.
Those threads will be information only. Conservative candidates will be flagged and RINOs will be tagged. Anyone who wishes to debate or discuss individual candidates can start a separate thread for that here, AND/OR on the RINO FREE discussion board on FaceBook as well.
I expect these threads to become lengthy, so be sure to add the state and candidate's name as keywords.
The SECOND part of this plan is a NATIONAL strategy for accomplishing our goal once we have singled out the candidates we choose to support and gather THOSE candidates on to ONE thread. It is our intent to coordinate efforts with the National Tea Party Movement and have them link to our information as well as share whatever info they might have that we don’t...although I find that next to impossible knowing Freepers. There just might be tidbits of inside information we might not have access to, so contributions from outside Freeperdom will be researched by us FOR us and we will do well not to post rumor or inuendo if we have no proof.
The National Action plan is the sole hard work of a longtime Freeper who has asked to remain anonymous. It is his work and since he first sent it to me, he has updated it several times for the better. I neither take, nor deserve, any credit for it whatsover, and only on that basis did I accept the invitation to present it as I saw fit.
I have opted to make only the smallest changes to his ideas as they seem to me to be the stepstones of the future. However he did specifically ask that any constructive criticisms or additional ideas be sought and wants it known that this is a foundation we can build on. He has added reasons, including some from Scripture, for these ideas which are included in the body of information presented below. Many of you will find them relevant. Those who don’t will still find the ideas themselves worth your time. I am awed by the effort put forth here which is why I have left it pretty much in tact with minimal edits. I think you will be as well.
With that said, and without further adieu, continue on and see what ideas suit you best.
LOL!
My point is that the First Amendment guarantees our inalienable right to be wrong. It is not religious specific and there are no exclusions for religions that appear to us to be "un-American". You know more than any that the same things that are being said about ALL Muslims were said in the last century about ALL Catholics, i.e., that their loyalty was to the Pope and that the Pope was in league with the devil and all that nonsense. But in the deep South and frankly in the suburbs of Boston, that sentiment was expressed to try to make Catholics out to be in league to destroy this country and turn it into some arm of the Vatican.
"Between 1830 and 1930—a century of massive immigration into the United States—anti-Catholicism was an active element in many debates around immigration, and it pervaded popular literature and political humor in the United States, occasionally fueling violence against Catholics. Frequently references to Rome's despotic influence over immigrant Catholics served as a backdrop to outbreaks of anti-Catholic activity. Among well-known events was the 1834 looting and burning of a Charlestown, Massachusetts, Ursuline Convent at the hands of anti-Catholic vandals. More representative, however, were nonviolent deployments of anti-Catholicism such as the proliferation in the 1830s and 1840s of popular "exposés" about the repressive influences and deviant sexual activities of Catholic clergy and nuns, and the 1884 presidential election, wherein Republicans decried the Democratic Party's association with "rum, Romanism, and rebellion" (references to the party's stance on Prohibition, its heavily immigrant-Catholic base, and its strength in the secessionist South)."

The last century?!
I can give you links where it was said on Free Republic in the last five minutes!
Not true. And if you'd check, we walked away from this thread. Your friend started it again.
RIGHT ON! Great work Mesta!!!!!
Oh no!!! When did they pass that law?
No, he didn't. He asked you a question, he asked you if certain statements reflected your beliefs. You could have just as easily answered no.
One thing that Free Republic does better than ANY website is that it allows complete religious freedom. There are people who have said horrible and untrue things about my religious beliefs and, in fairness, I have done the same to them.
The Constitution PROTECTS religious beliefs, it DOES NOT protect all religious practices. Sharia can be tempered by American laws the same was Mormon polygamy was. And for the last time, quit crying about how the Muslims are taking over parts of Europe. This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA there is NO COMPARISON between us and some socialist pansies in Europe.
Tell me it excludes ANY Americans. Try... You can only do that if you don't accept those words. They are the founding documents of our "house/tent".
I'm a WASP. I am a Christian. I think the Muzzies are off their rockers, and many are indeed violent. Roman Catholics and I disagree all the time, but I don't recommend sending them all to Rome. Mormons think they can be gods. Do we blast them off back to Kolob? Where would you send the Jehovah's Witnesses?
I an give you lots of examples of people doing things in the name of their religions. Jim Jones is the first in mind. But, I believe more in the eternal struggle, against "powers and principalities", than against men in bomb-laden vests. We win both wars one man (woman) at a time.
I live in this "house", and have no interest in "burning it down". That you wish to spread your opinions as Gospel are facetious at best! That you wish to force them on others is just plain fascist.
There are 30 muslim towns in the US. Ask JustPiper. Two of them are Islamburg NY and Dearborn Mich.
Don't be so blind. It IS happening here. Terror trials in NYC?! Attempted bombing on NW Airlines and he gets miranda rights and is tried like anyone else?! Wakeup wagglebee!!!
Muslims are coming for us. What are you going to do to stop them? Make sure they get all their rights?
This did not start out to be a religious thread. Your buddies turned it into one. I thought they would stop and get tired of beating a dead horse. But they didn’t. We tried to retake the thread with political posts and get away from the religious stuff, but your friend would have none of it. The FIRST post from him this morning was this piece of garbage that is morally repugnant.
And now you are RATIONALIZING what this one just did as somehow okay. Well, wagglebee, it is NOT okay. It is not okay to take a screed from Mein Kampf and ask us if this is how we feel when NO ONE on this thread ever suggested even one iota of what that text bespeaks. You are wrong here. Please do not dig yourself in deeper.
The very worst that was said that even came minimally close to violence against muslims on this thread was something about a size twelve combat boot.
You guys have seen fit to cause all this friction and stop any forward progress for the whole project based on a one sentence IDEA out of many.
It won’t work. the project goes on.
bookmark and thanks!
The TENT is the political Big Republican TENT. Didn’t you read anything before you went spaz on this? Do you even know what this project is about? It’s about Conservatives retaking the GOP party leadership and running Conservative candidates. ALL OF THIS is over the IDEAS that were expressed in the OFF FREE REPUBLIC part of what individuals could do. It was an opinion, not a command. And you are trying to destroy what we have worked hard on for what? So you could play in your friend’s sandbox? Without knowing or caring why this started or what started it?
Wow. We didn't know that. Most FReepers never know anything about the news. They all sit in front of the TV watch CNN and beg to return to Dan Rather's version of the daily crapola. /sarcasm
This blindered attempt to purify by blame is pitiful. Fling all the crap you wish, but your rants aren't converting anyone to your message. It's likely driving more away.
We all agree that terrorists are evil. The biggest threat right now is in Washington, DC. But, I can't be the one who decides. We need to change the present administration in the White House before we even talk about removing these already identified terror threats. They are surely being watched. Getting rid of Zero is Mission One!
