The violence of evil must be met by the violence of righteousness, justice, love, and grace.
I'm not a Republican; I'm a conservative. The Republican party never, ever gets to simply take my vote for granted -- they have to earn it, each and every time out, by running candidates whose views on the issues (as demonstrated by their previous track records, while in public office) reasonably align with my own... and I'm the only person on the face of the planet capable of judging whether or not they have, in fact, genuinely done so to my own satisfaction.
They didn't. I won't.
They can try just a wee, little harder next time out, if my vote is so supremely important to them (as I certainly do keep on hearing, hereabouts).
Hitting my FR “LIKE” button as hard as I can right now!
I would love to see all California conservatives write in Palin.
Frank discussion???? Really... looks like a pack of dogs rolling over and exposing their privates in supplication to the NWO. What a joke.
What “REAL” values? Sadly this American society has very much been lacking.
Which means “Anybody But Obama”.
As long as they believe in God, even if it is weak.
I am very afraid that if Obama gets back in, I could very well see in my lifetime a second civil war or revolution.
Sorry. Standards. You know how it is.
Andy, a gun ban is a gun ban.
You can parse it and dance all you want, it’s still a gun ban.
And it banned semi-automatics.
It was a gun BAN, get it?
You said that I lied.
Where is the lie?
“which was the price extracted from him by an 85% Democrat legislature “
So Romney is a wuss who couldn’t govern Massachussetts, and you expect him to do any better in Washington?
What’s the definition of insanity again?
Your own words indict the supposed ‘elected conservatives who would restrain Obama’. What about Obama-rule would these mythical Republicans seek to block and why? If they are resisting Obama-rule for party political reasons, why would you call them conservatives? If they are indeed conservatives then Romney doing the same obama-rule stuff would go against their conservative grain and they would restrain Milt’s obama-rule stuff. But you assert they would go along with obama-rule stuff if it comes from Romney, because they are fellow republicans. Then the bastards aren’t conservatives, the sons-a-bitches are republicans not conservatives. This magic thinking is getting to a level of absurdity! Even Allen West has been ‘going along to get along’ after being elected as a tea party exemplar. This reality we now face isn’t about parties, it’s about who the hell are the sovereigns of this Republic ... and the illegitimacy and thuggish rule of Barack Obama, while a Republican lead Congress twiddles their brown thumbs shows what the reality is ... we are the ruled people occupying the continent, and definitely not the sovereigns the founders arranged for. The rulers hidden from open view have chosen the two you must select from for who will be the surrogate ruler for the next four years as the gloablist agenda gets implimented in your lifetime. These nuanced discussions are esoteric nonsense, meant to ease along the normalcy bias being used to boil the frog people.
Romney is absolutely the most liberal candidate wearing the “R” label that the GOP could have chosen. And the GOP HAS chosen him from the beginning of this campaign. That is a huge reason that I never identify as a republican anymore.
But you accused Romney of banning all guns in Massachusetts and that was an inaccurate statement - parse it any way you want - it is not a statement of fact.
As for what he had to do when confronted with a hostile legislature, stonewalling state attorneys and uncooperative police departments, that is another matter. I came from Massachusetts and clearly you know nothing about it. Up until January of last year, Republican members of the state House and Senate could meet in a diner. A very small diner. And other than them, there was not a single elected Republican official in the state.
But accusing Romney of being a "wuss" is name-calling, not argumentation. Obama can do that on his own.
Like the vast majority of Republicans, I will probably vote for Romney, and not because I like or trust him but because the alternative is the end of America at the hands of a Marxist alien, and I cannot live with that on my conscience.
Funny, you admit that a ban is a ban here.
But then you turn around and try to claim a ban is not a ban by using weasel words.
No sale andy.
"What Romney did sign was an (admittedly noxious) assault weapons ban, which was the price extracted from him by an 85% Democrat legislature"
So Romney is a wuss who can't govern without caving to the whims of a bunch of whiners.
Keep wiggling andy.
Tell me again how a gun ban is not a gun ban.
And by all means, please go on with your silly name-calling while ignoring the fact that you stated something that is demonstrably false. Romney did not ban all guns in Massachusetts. It never happened.
As I explained (and as you choose to ignore), he approved an assault-weapons ban as part of a trade-off deal to make other firearms purchases and licensing requirements less cumbersome.

What’s the word used in that article to describe what happened Andy.
I’ll give you a hint, begins with b and ends with n.
Come on, you can say it.
