By their comments on the page, looks like being pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-constitution, pro-limited government, pro-liberty is an extreme position for the readers of Fox News Nation. Strange, it matches up pretty closely to the official GOP party platform. People with these views used to be called patriotic Americans.

Well guess we'll just have to be happy as gun-toting, bible-thumping, bitterly clinging extremists. I've been called worse. Karl Rove, FOX & Co, can shove their RINO du jour where the sun don't shine!!

A Small Statement On Romneycare

James Madison

Click The Pic To Support FR

Annals of Congress, House of Representatives, 3rd Congress, 1st Session, page 170 (1794-01-10)
The Annals summarize speeches in the third person, with the actual text of Madison’s quote as follows:

“Mr. Madison wished to relieve the sufferers, but was afraid of establishing a dangerous precedent, which might hereafter be perverted to the countenance of purposes very different from those of charity. He acknowledged, for his own part, that he could not undertake to lay his finger on that article in the Federal Constitution which granted a right of Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”

how about perry supporters. are we allowed to post as long as we accept being called names and potty mouth comments?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

[ken5050]

Jim...with this story on FOX and also in the Politico, can you let us know if traffic to FR goes up...I suspect it will...and maybe more will join, though I suspect you’ll have to beef up the
troll patrols”

[patriciaruth]

But he talks so PURDY...

Sigh. All that studying he did to get informed, and now that he’s aged he is even easy on the eye, no longer a Ken doll....
what a waste.

Anybody hip deep in snow that can think there’s global warming is at heart an idiot.

In defense of Jim:

To use an old saying once attributed to Voltaire - but most likely originating with Evelyn Beatrice Hall writing under the pseudonym of Stephen G Tallentyre in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), as a summation of Voltaire's beliefs on freedom of thought and expression.[http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Voltaire ]

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

And then to make my own addendum to it, in Jim's defense:

"I am not however obliged to buy you a megaphone or lend you mine."©Wuli

Jim, I am completely behind you! You rock!

[Rhane]

Been reading your site for years, loved the news, especially foreign policy and military coverage. I also support Romney. In the super bowl of politics called the race to the white house, you seem to suddenly ban those who aren’t rooting for your team? I understand your site is meant for your particular audience, which is fine - but there are plenty of sites that allow complete open-ended debate/promotion, which is truly free - unlike your site. Very contradictory of a site that is supposed to be pro-liberty. That’s all I really have to say.

For the record: life long conservative in MD, not Mormon, or any of the general accusations you might think of.

[nevergiveup]

But can his identical twin brother Joe Isuzu still post?

[ConservativeMind]

I saw Rove give a two minute speed-read defense of Romney on Fox and Friends this morning while greatly qualifying Cain's ability to recover from the current allegations. Rove makes me puke.

It only goes to show how far out of control things have gone in just a couple generations since the passage of the 16th and 17th Amendments. Those have to be repealed. Unfortunately people don't see how those two amendments have come to damage country and will ultimately destroy our economy if not the nation.

Entitlements are not just about welfare, SS or Medicare. There are tens of millions of people tied into the federal bureaucracy through the agencies that regulate them (and their competitors), that provide money, grants and so many other policies that people have become dependent upon.

I could list hundreds of examples but just examine:

• Pell Grants, federal loans and other academic grants go to students and researchers at universities. So you have students, university faculty and university staff all in favor of these kinds of federal programs.
  
• FDA regulates the drug industry, so you have the people who need medicines, the people who make medicines and the people who dispense medicines all in favor of a large federal bureaucracy to regulate medicine and its practice using a very rigid, but perhaps largely inappropriate tool of measurement. You only have to look at "off label prescriptions" to see some light here. The FDA will allow doctors to use almost any approved drug to treat any ailment, but they will jail them if you use something they didn't approve to treat one. Obviously this system benefits those inside from "unapproved" economic assaults from the outside.
  
• Of course we have federal government funding research into climate change, which expanded the number of people in the field, who are necessarily biased by the mere fact that their livelihood is based on finding problem in the environment even if they try very hard to remain objective.
  
• You have tax attorneys, CPAs and even bookkeepers/controllers stuck to a tax code so businesses have to spend tens of billions a year to be sure they comply with codes enforced by an agency that spends tens of billions a year.
  
• You have political parties that love the current system because it gives power to the party instead of the states/constituencies. And on and on.
  

The only way out of this mess is to take back the reins. If we have to do it one at time, so be it. If we have to do it out of sequence, so be it. If we can only take one step in that direction, so be it. I will vote for 999 because that is the only viable plan to shake things up right now. We cannot wait. I am in favor of almost anything that will cut away all the obfuscation so people can see more clearly. And only when we all (or a big majority) can see clearly can we agree that this shell game is not only inefficient but corrupted and corrupting and needs to be changed back to the way things were designed to be: No federal income tax. No direct election of Senators.

Works for me. It’s gotta nice ring to it.

[RaceBannon]

GET SOME!!

Be careful, they might baptise you in abstentia...or whatever it is called today...

[Liberty Valance]

Dittos Jim. ;o)

[katykelly]

Ok , I’m fine with that.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Oh my lord! Next thing ya know, the gun-grabbers and pro-welfare types are going to have a problem here, too!

[rockinqsranch]

I’ve read some of the posts in response to this article, and I think too many miss the point.

RINO’s are the enemy within the enemy within. They are the stealth while the Democrats are quite visible enemies of our Constitution, our way of life.

Romney is a RINO. There is no way around the fact period. He’s a RINO, and he’s exactly what we as Conservatives have to eliminate from the foundation of the GOP. We have to make the GOP Constitution friendly, and the only way to do that is to break the hold on the party by the enemy within that is complicit with the Democrat direction.

Today Romney is the choice of the RINO King makers of the GOP the people’s choice be damned.

We have to knock Romney down from the GOP pedestal. Splatter his ass, and show the RINO’s we aren’t going to take their obstinance, their arrogance, their flippin’ the wee birdie in our faces anymore.

That is my position on this anyway, so flame away.

[Revolting cat!]

I wouldn't mind Mittie in some safe Cabinet position,
or as an ambassador to the Vatican
(kidding!),
but why won't he just go away!

[arderkrag]

I commented on this on the Politico’s write up of the story. I’m behind you all the way, Jim, till the skein is tied.

[Alamo-Girl]

Well guess we'll just have to be happy as gun-toting, bible-thumping, bitterly clinging extremists.

Count me in.

[patriot preacher]

Is this accurate? I hadn’t heard. I mean, is it an “official” ban of open Romney supporters?

NO, I’m NOT a Romney supporter. I’m an ARDENT opponent. I’m also not a reactionary Conservative who hates Romney. He would be bad for the country — but, as bad as Obama?

I’m not trying to “tweak” anybody. I just wonder how “narrow” FR is going to define itself. And which candidate and his/her supporters might be banned next if this is the case?

Please — I ask that you think before you ban.

Respectfully,

Patriot Preacher
