Rove, Romney and the GOP-e loathe pro-life Reagan conservatism, loathe the small government tea party and set out to destroy them both. I hate to admit it, but they are succeeding.
As I see staunch pro-life conservatives and tea party patriots folding their small government tents in favor of Romney's GOP-e progressive, big government big tent, I can't help but see not only the end of the tea party, but the end of pro-life, pro-liberty conservatism within the Republican party. And if we cannot quickly recover, the end of liberty in America. America's great experiment in self-government by believers in life and liberty destroyed, not by the liberal progressive statists of the Democrat party, but by the liberal progressive statists of the Republican party. Where the statist Democrats have failed, the statist GOP-e will have succeeded.
There is absolutely no doubt that Romney's pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro-socialist healthcare, statist big government record is identical to Obama's. Once upon a time in the not so distant past, conservatives automatically shunned big government statists. The GOP-e and the malignant genius, Karl Rove, figured out how to outflank us and turn the GOP totally against Reagan conservatism and against pro-Life, pro-family, pro-small government conservatives. It's an engineered coup d'etat against traditional small government conservatism and it is deadly.
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong only to God.
The fear of Obama has turned many among us into squishes who will set the pro-life conservative movement back forty years or more by surrendering to the abortionist/homosexualist, statist progressive, big government, corrupt crony capitalist agenda within the GOP.
We should not fear Obama to the point we elect an overstepping statist just like him, we should be determined to impeach his usurping treasonous ass! We should shun the Gop-e, shun Karl Rove, shun Romney, shun all of the big government, big tent, RINOS who have taken over the GOP. Rather than surrendering to the big government forces, we should be working full-time to elect pro-life, pro-small government conservatives into the majority of elective offices throughout this great land. If ever there was a time for pro-life conservatives and tea party patriots to stand their ground, it is NOW!! SURRENDER TO STATISM? NUTS!!
With conservative majorities in the legislative branches of the federal government and in the majority of all state and local governments, we can impeach and remove or expel the traitors amongst us from their executive posts, their high benches or their legislative seats and reclaim our Liberty!!
I am shocked by the number of supposedly pro-life conservatives who would promote these abortionist/homosexualist statists and dismayed that so many tea party patriots would fold their tents. Romney is the natural biological father of the big government unconstitutional statist RomneyCare/ObamaCare program that was the spark that ignited the tea party. And now the tea party sadly seems to be on the brink of surrendering to him before the fight has even begun.
Not me. I stand firm for Life and Liberty!! No Obama!! No Romney!! NOT ON MY WATCH!!
Gotta agree with this.
The fact remains that the #1 priority is to get rid of obummer.
And Romney will lean in the direction the congress takes him.
So vote for Romney and be sure you help make the senate republican and hopefully conservative.
Amen brother!
I agree. This 'blood' soaked shrinking to excellence is troubling.
The gamble has already been taken, the dice rolled.
Came up a big snake eyes.
The GOP decided to run another liberal leaning hara-kiri candidate who CANNOT beat Obama.
The blood is on their hands, they have alienated their Conservative base so much that many are not going to vote for the next-in-line GOP-e candidate.
And the liberal voters they are trying to woo will look at Romney and think, he’s sure got a lot of my values and ideals, but I might as well vote for Obama, he’s a democrat.
Plus the illegal alien criminal invading colonists voters they are trying to convince will do the same.
This is all IMO of course, Hum.
Ask yourself this: How many times has Obama bypassed Congress with his executive orders? Didn’t he declare DMOA unconstitutional which only the Supreme Court can do? Do you think if Obama gets reelected he will not continue to ignore Congress and the Judicial Branch? Then you should ask yourself who the real idiot is. One who thinks a Rino in the White House is better than a dictator wannabe or one who ignores the most important race and hopes the Republicans can take the House and Senate and then can control an Imperial President. I think a lot of people refused to vote for McCain in 2008 and then spent the last 3 1/2 years whining about who won.
Good, then I can expect you to get off your duff and canvass the neighborhoods in your local for the Conservative candidate, Virgil Goode?
>> In fact Im going to send Romney the money I was going to contribute to Free republic.
A short-sighted decision.
I encourage ongoing FR support despite the POTUS conundrum.
Senators and all of Congress are up for a vote this election too!
I don’t have to ask myself anything. I know exactly what I’m doing.
I have no intent of trying to explain voting for the lesser evil to my maker. Consider me a lost cause if you must but my conscience is clear and will remain so.
I certainly hope you are right. By the way, have you read “The Harbinger” yet?
>> Here’s a person more enthralled and devoted to a flash-pan Gumby politician in (r) clothing who
It kinda’ sucks we’re losing FReepers because of the crap forced upon us. No one here is enthralled with the man from MA who betrayed Life. No one is arguing for more abortion. No one is arguing for more Socialism. No one is arguing for bigger government.
We need to make sure we stay bound by our goals, and not torn apart by this relatively small fork in the road.
We have the Senate and Congress to deal with.
Was there a true conservative in the bunch to begin with? Bachmann? Perry? Cain (what the hell was his deal?), Newt (for crying out loud, people here were rooting for Newt! He was hated just a year earlier.) The elites gave us Romney? Where was a conservative to vote for in the mix? Maybe Bachmann, but she just wasn’t ready for prime time.
Saddest day for me was when Sarah said she wasn’t running. It’s been downhill since then, but I will vote for Romney. Say what you will, but I do not think he hates America and I’ll take that over the current dirt bag.
I am with you Jim.
I believe you are on God’s side in this struggle.
” ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ saith the Lord.” Zechariah 4:6
Jim, you live in California. You can vote for your cat and it won’t make a difference.
Look who got elected governor... Jerry Brown who is just as dumb this time as he was last time.
We all know that Obama is going to win California and it’s really easy to say I’m not voting for Romney when we know he doesn’t have a chance in that state anyway.
Other people in other states have a real decision to make.
At this point I just don’t get this logic. No Romney and we get Yes Obama. Where the tea party is shining is in getting more conservatives in not only House and Senate but at local levels as well. This will not happen over night. I am in for the long fight in the long game, and to me one of those steps is getting the communist out the White House.
