There are many of us who have been here for a long time, and we see things are different.
I am a fullblooded card carrying conservative!
What I see here is not something Jesus would condon!
I have met JIm a few times.. The Freeper ball in 2005 in DC. I sat with Nutmeg and her hubby! I met hellinandcart and hubby! I met Kristinn
I was so excited to be there, I had no words!
Huckabee's band was playing, the Secret Service was staying at our hotel!
I talking to buckhead and Tankerkc for a long time after the Ball!
It was the most exhilarating time of my life!! I remember it like it was yesterday!!
I was so PRoud to be a freeper! It was like a badge of honor!
I still smile when hear Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA!
As bad as some think Bush was, Kerry would have been worse!
Then the Tea Pary sprang into action and I was totally on board! I met JIm again when I moved to Vegas at the TeaParty rally! It was Awesome, I met JIM and his wife and they were the most gracious people as he had been a few years before.. I was looking for Hildy at the time and Jim was directing me to where he thought she went..
It was a great day!
All of you can say what you will, but what I am seeing now is not the same feeling as it was before...
We never get exactly what we want in politics, and no matter how hard you stomp you feet, it isn't going to happen! What we have now is Mitt, and Ryan, and when Mitt chose Paul, He chose to listen to conservatives...
JIm I am sorry you feel as you do, but I know that Ryan is not going to be a Biden! He is going to have a role in policy.. That should make everyone here happy!!!
I was a Palin person, until, I realized she wasn't running and I switched to Perry. Sadly that didn't go well and I gave a ton of money to Newt, whom I have loved for years!! But when all is said and done, We have what we have, and the appointment of Ryan gives me hope the Mitt will want a second term and Ryan will keep him in check.. Fr needs to get back to where they where 10 years ago, and figure out, we don't always get what we want, but we can make it better with activism!!
Sadly that is not a part of FR anymore Do I want to be zotted...Hell no, I was donor for many years.. Do I want to win this election,! Hell yes, there has never been a time in my life that is more important than getting rid of Obama. Jim, I know you are voting on your principles, and that is fine, but do you really want 4 more years of Obama? This is not compromising your principles, this is dong what you Conservative majority wants.. To those of you who think I have no Idea what conservative means? I am an active Teaparty person and I am a strong Christian.. You can flame me all you want, but God is with me, and I hope like heck you realize, that God doesn't give you everything you want, they way you want it.. He works in mysterious ways and you need to adjust to that.! I am Very happy with my relationship with God, and I know that doing God's work doesn't mean denying a Mormon, who God loves as much as you at the moment, until the day of reckoning, make a difference!
With respect, how do you know this? Romney has already said he isn't going to enact Ryan's budget plan. What role do you anticipate? I'm not trying to be hostile, I really want to know.
“God is with you”, Ok how do you reconcile that with the fact Romney is pro abortion and homosexual agenda?
When you say Mormons love God as much of the rest of us, which god are you referring to as they teach multiple gods.
I keep explaining over and over that you can vote for whomever you please. I’m not urging anyone to do what I’m doing. Personally, I cannot vote for an abortionist or a homosexualist or a gun grabber or a big government socialist or a liberal progressive statist. Romney is all of those things rolled into one. I’m just one man, with one vote. I pray he doesn’t need it because he’s not going to get it.
But I do strongly urge all conservatives and grassroots tea party folks to turn out and vote. Vote straight conservative if you can. We need conservative executives and conservative controlled legislative bodies elected into every elective office in every state and locale all across this great land so we can wrest control and power away from the socialists and return it to the states and we the people as the constitution clearly states.
And with the conservative majorities, I’d like to see a whole lot of impeaching, recalling, rescinding, overturning, abolishing, slashing, closing down, cutting, etc, etc, etc. We don’t need any new healthcare programs, welfare programs, safety nets, or new taxes, we just need to abolish and close down a whole lot of old failed socialist departments, agencies, programs, regulations and policies.
Set our people free to produce an prosper, an let the free economy soar!!
You can never go home. Things change irretrievably, and the past may cause longing, but reconstructing it is never possible.
I think that if the FReepers who left wanted to leave because of some perceived flaw in Jim’s site, then they’re certainly welcome to go. However I find their gossip and lies about Free Republic to be repugnant in the extreme, and that was what I meant by my post.
Their nattering on to anyone who will listen about how horrible we are here doesn’t do anybody any good at all, including the people whose stated goal is the destruction of this site. TBLers, you know who you are.
“What I see here is not something Jesus would condon!”
So Jesus wants you to vote for a pathological liar to get rid of another pathological liar?
” know that doing God’s work doesn’t mean denying a Mormon, who God loves as much as you at the moment, until the day of reckoning, make a difference! “
If that’s what you believe, then you either do not know God or do not know Mormonism.
