ROFLMAO
No, you are most assuredly NOT conservative. Whoever told you that (probably a public school teacher) was lying.
Looks like I was not IBTZ. :-(
I was here and didn’t even know they GOT the ZOT. LOL
Thanks for checking and notifying us.
And no they won’t molest your children.
What exactly are you saying? That no homosexuals are child molesters?
Looks like he appealed his Zot and got unzotted.
That being said, I suspect we won't be hearing anymore of this homosexual agenda nonsense from him anymore.
The old rules don’t work anymore.
You’re pretty good at flinging generalizations (sort of like how monkeys fling poop at the zoo) without a scrap of detail.
1. What “old” rules don’t work any more? Be specific.
2. For the “old” rules that you claim don’t work, what substitute “new” rules do you propose?
Let’s get some specifics instead of blanket wild opinions.
I didn’t do anything. My FR life flashed before my eyes though.
Free republic is a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family, pro-Liberty conservative site. We do not support the homosexual agenda here and THAT is not debatable. Those who don’t like it can take a fricken hike.
There’s very little work on constructing low level social structures that maintain and perpetuate strong families and stable society.
And just “who” or “what” do you propose do this work on “contstructing” low level social structures?
What does the gobbledy gook really mean?
I’d say “low level social structures” would be families; no work needs doing to figure out what they are! Mom, Dad, kids, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins...
Are you done promoting the homosexual agenda on Free Republic?
You are welcome to your opinion, but I have found that your particular opinion on this subject is one that is not particularly welcome on this forum.
So I can say NOW that I am IBTZ. :-)
Inquiring minds would like to know what you are doing to practice what you preach. I like what you said.I owe you a longer response, but my last reply got eaten. I do integration classes with recent immigrants, used to volunteer at a homeless shelter and take part in social events that try to cut a broad swath across society. I'm not perfect by any means but I try be a contributing member of a real civil society.

Admin Mod banned your account but I gave you a temporary reprieve due to your longevity here. But you have now been warned and there will be no further reprieves. You can use your free speech rights to promote the homosexual agenda elsewhere if that is your intention.

Mom, Dad, kids, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins...Exactly, but how do you have an extended family to lean on when your brothers live in seattle, you live in the midwest and your parents live in the northeast? America's economy has, for the most part, moved to the cities and the economic opportunity can move from location to location quickly. How do you have an extended family in that context?

It is not the government’s job to invent support structures for families or individuals. If a person or family has no support structure, it’s THEIR job to find one, invent one or do without. Regarding the responsibility of the community, it is the job of PRIVATE organizations and groups to provide support for needy people.
PRIVATE - NOT government. Churches, synagogues, other faith based groups, private charities - the more local the better - are who should be helping those who need help. And neighbors!
As soon as the government steps in, hell breaks loose. And it has.

I'm advocating conservatism have a clearer more positive agenda. It's perfectly fine to know what you don't like, but at the same time you have to know what you *like*. Too much of modern conservative is focused on opposition and too little on coming up with a concrete vision for what an ideal society looks like and how to attain it.PRIVATE - NOT government. Churches, synagogues, other faith based groups, private charities - the more local the better - are who should be helping those who need help. And neighbors!

I think one of aspects of conservatism that seems to escape you is that it is up to individuals to decide what is “ideal” and then their individual responsibility to make it happen, personally.
Remember the “pursuit” of happiness. As long as there is life and liberty, the pursuit of happiness is each person’s kuleana. (responsibility, area etc).
I do not want any “manifesto” whether socialist, communist, fascist, utopian, Fabian or so-called “conservative”, telling me what ideal is.
Social structure founded on strong (aka “natural”) families, with the eternal spiritual values that are universal (note my Thos. Jefferson quote) is what is needed, along with government doing what it is Constitutionally mandated, and NOT A SPECK MORE.
No new manifestos needed or wanted.
