Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Mitt Romney as a Republican presidential candidate?
Bug Zapper ^ | May 19, 2011 | 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 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 Massachusetts liberal can become president from the Republican party?

Do you really expect me to do that?

I’d rather embrace socialism than have it embrace me.

i’ll take the guy that had a record of fixing broken companies.

I am ignorant of his success.

Please provide a list of companies that Mitt "fixed" including a before and after picture of the companies.

My wife had my dog "fixed" and he disagrees with the term.

or do we call their bluff, even if that means giving Obozo four more years?

That there is them bein' on the horns of a dilemma........No idea what another four years of the bastahd in cheeze might bring. We have to consider the things that might prove to be un-doable, regardless of the righteousness of Zero's replacement in 2016. Look what the POS has already done, and how difficult even minor pullbacks of Obamacare have been.

Then again, have there been any? But, I digress........

This is what keeps me in constant turmoil............

Uh. Groupthink time.

How do you distinguish this "groupthink" from a a group of people who happen to reach similar conclusions from different perspectives?

Or is this simply a way to disparage a group of people based on their common sense of values?

I wish more people truly understood this. The lesser of two evils is still evil!

Yes. Taking incremental steps towards the doctrine that one is supposed to be opposed to inevitably has one result. You become that which you are opposing.

Groupthink?! C'mon Man. This is specific to Willard Mitt Romney. There is only one position for a conservative to take on his candidacy.

NO.
