As if being a Christian would cause someone to sell out their homeland.

” Im a Christian and I dont support amnesty.”
Most American Christians don’t, by a large margin.

I suppose if the traitorous RINO Republican politicians repeat the lie enough, people will fall for it.

They sure seem to think so.
The evidence is in, and there’s no doubt about it.

I have seriously considered calling it a day on Free Republic because of the vitriol that goes on with every issue. I understand that everyone can’t agree on everything, but the nastiness is just pervasive. It didn’t used to be that way. I remember when the debates were reasoned, sourced, and exchanges were civil. Wolf, I have been seeing you a lot lately on various threads and noticed that you invariably pick out one person to disagree with and start a nasty exchange to ruin the thread. I actually wondered if you might be one of Obama’s Cyber patrol who he dispatched to cause chaos on conservative sites. But I see your sign up date is 2003. You should know better. That’s my rant for the day.

You and I have spent many years living in California. Me (1976-2006). People just can’t fathom the devestation, because they haven’t witnessed it first hand.
To: WVNan
You have 15 years at FR. Don’t even think of leaving : )
To: stephenjohnbanker
Yeah, I have been and it has been a life-line for me, but it’s not helping my anxiety any more. If we can’t band together and take back our country, then we might as well accept defeat, eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.

No, people can't grasp it. It's a real shame, but they can't. I have lived here since June of 1969. I was born in the town where I now live. It's nearly impossible to describe what has happened to it since then.
This isn't solely limited to illegal immigration by any means either.
Folks, we are now talking about moving one million Syrian refugees into the United States. The damage that one act will cause on this nation is nearly incalculable.
Towns, in fact regions will be taken over by former Syrian nationals. Syria has been a devout adversary of the United State for at least three generations. How many good Syrians will we get out of this deal? Then answer is, almost none.
We will be bringing in people who are well versed in anti-US hostility, and have been trained to carry out acts of terrorism. We will be moving a massive number of 'out of the box' insurgents into the nation.
We have seen something akin to this over and over in our nation. Most of it is limited to severe disruptions in social settings. The values of the old country simply swamp the American community where the newcomers swarm. And they ALWAYS swarm. Every one of us can point to an area that has become foreign soil on our nation.
California has been over-run by illegal immigrants. I don't hate these people, but their presence here is not wholesome. It is destructive to our infrastructure.
What a mess.

I’m 59, and I have never seen a time when America was in such a dire emergency. It is almost as if our government just decided that all that matters is power and money.....everyone
grab what you can, and run. I know you don’t want to give up anymore than I do. The question is HOW do we stop them? Much easier asked than answered. Hang in there!
To: WVNan
Hang in there. WVNan, it’s important that you do.
I understand completely what you meant by your comments too.

she is the reason WE voted for McCain...
To: DoughtyOne
Okay. . A former governor is now the reason congress will pass an amnesty bill????? She has a vote?
I really and honestly wish that some of you here on FR would show the same anger towards senate democrats that you show towards Sarah Palin. But thats not so controversial is it? You cant then claim that ‘X’ the mysterious perfect conservative is the only one you woll vote for.
This country is lost.
To: swpa_mom
swpa_mom you have got to be kidding...

What the heck is wrong with you? I never said she would cast a vote. I did say she could cause confusion in the Republican ranks if she were to get on the air and back Rubio's play. She is on record denying she is advocating amnesty, but then professing that registration, legalization, and remaining in the United States is different. And so I speak up about it. That's no different than what I have been doing with regard to Rubio. Do you get this excited and upset when I take Rubio to task?

You do not need to get this upset about people being frank about Palin's policies. You don't get upset when we take other people to task who have done the same thing from our side of the isle. You obviously have gone hook, line, and sinker all in for Palin. As far as supporting her goes, go ahead. Just don't disagree with people who take her to task when she's wrong. That's all we're talking about here.
Since when have you noticed I don't take Democrats to task? I don't? You must be kidding me. I take Democrats to task all the time. I will say something here though. When hundreds of folks are taking Democrats to task for doing something we dislike, I don't jump in. The issue has been covered. Then when our own candidates do the same thing we've just dumped on McCain and other Democrats for, all of a sudden it's a great big sin. NO IT'S NOT. Hundreds of people are not jumping in, and so someone needs to do it. We MUST address the errors the people on our side make.
If you folks would jump on Palin with both feet when she advocates bad policy, she might change it. Instead you whoop it up and post nice pictures of her and attack anyone who speaks truth concerning her flawed policy.
STOP IT! That's not productive. Be honest with yourself.
This country is lost.
Well it certainly is, if people on our side can't grasp that it's wrong when Republicans do the same things we criticize Democrats for, and then attack anyone who does.
STOP IT! It's not productive.

You know that I absolutely love Sarah Palin, but I agree that she is not always perfect. She is human and she has a tendency to shoot from the hip without due thought. I also wish she would change her “look” to something a bit more dignified. At her age and the seriousness of her position as a conservative spokes person, she needs to drop the “celebrity” sparkle.

I'm not sure why folks think I wouldn't want to be a supporter of a person that was a true Conservative. I'd like to be in Palin's camp. I can't be. I don't expect perfection from my candidates. Some things I'll be forgiving of. Other things I simply can't. If someone is backing something that will change this nation forever, I'm going to have a very big problem with it, and I will speak up about it. If they back the very worst Republican in our nation's history to return to Washington, D. C., I'm not going to be forgiving. This isn't even close to perfection at all. I'm not going to diss a Conservative candidate on something that is borderline. Neither of these things is borderline by any stretch of the imagination.
You know that I absolutely love Sarah Palin, but I agree that she is not always perfect.
And I actually like that about her. You can't shoot from the hip on issues where you really haven't considered all sides though. She destroys her credibilty when she does. If you shoot from the hip and hit the mark, it's very effective.
She is human and she has a tendency to shoot from the hip without due thought.

I think she overplays her down-home quality to the point that it gets tiring. I generally like the Will Rogers demeanor in small doses, but she does it to the point it becomes distracting. You're right. It becomes undignified at times.
I also wish she would change her look to something a bit more dignified.
I agree, but once again we're referencing the down home shtick. If she would be more professional, I think it would add to her stature. And it does bother me that others don't even pick up on this.
At her age and the seriousness of her position as a conservative spokes person, she needs to drop the celebrity sparkle.

I don't expect perfection from my candidates. Some things I'll be forgiving of. Other things I simply can't. With all due respect, I think you are overplaying the one BIG thing most of us here disagree with her about. What was she supposed to do, not support the man who she ran with, the one who picked her for his veep candidate? Really? She's supposed to not give her endorsement for him? She DID help him (came to AZ once, they made an ad of her endorsement), but it's highly unlikely he was going to lose, not with the devastating ad about his opponent selling government largess and his HUGE war chest. I don't see her ever supporting his crazy positions, never, ever since she had to toe the line with him in 2008 and her endorsement in 2010.
Yeah, I know we'll disagree, and I'll leave it at that. Consider this: Most of her positions are entirely conservative, actually, I can't think of one that isn't, other than the ONE endorsement we all hate, I don't like it any more than you do, but I do understand it.
She fights against the libs, far better than anyone I know, and has been doing it effectively far longer than most. She does quite well at it, like Ted Cruz said, without her, he's not in the senate. She has done a fairly good job in rallying the troops, getting money for mostly good candidates, and helping push them over the finish line.
I think we'll just disagree on this one.

The one big thing? LOL, and we're on this thread too. LakeShark, I'm not overplaying anything, and you've had upwards of three years to study this issue, undestand the arguments, and come to grips with the truth of it.
I have said a number of times that you join a ticket to moderate it, but you cannot endorse a ticket that is severely flawed. That logic was reasoned in 2010, and it's still reasoned today.
With all due respect, I think you are overplaying the one BIG thing most of us here disagree with her about.
That is precisely right!
What was she supposed to do, not support the man who she ran with, the one who picked her for his veep candidate? Really? She's supposed to not give her endorsement for him?
She came to Arizona and endorsed a man with the absolute worst Republican record in our nation's history. Within thirty days, that endorsement caused a ten point move in the polls. So don't tell me her endorsement didn't help, and that he wasn't in trouble. If he wasn't in trouble, there was no need for her to endorse McCain. He was evidently desperate enough to ask for the help from the woman he himself said wasn't ready for prime time.
She DID help him (came to AZ once, they made an ad of her endorsement), but it's highly unlikely he was going to lose, not with the devastating ad about his opponent selling government largess and his HUGE war chest.
She agrees with him on immigration. She endorsed this POS for re-election. And now you're trying to say she doesn't really agree with his crazy positions. LakeShark, when you endorse someone, you make a public statement that you do agree with their crazy positions. That's the way it works.
I don't see her ever supporting his crazy positions, never, ever since she had to toe the line with him in 2008 and her endorsement in 2010.
You can't think of one position you don't agree with. Well, I'm not going to help you out here. If you can't think of a policy you disagree with, you can't.
Yeah, I know we'll disagree, and I'll leave it at that. Consider this: Most of her positions are entirely conservative, actually, I can't think of one that isn't, other than the ONE endorsement we all hate, I don't like it any more than you do, but I do understand it.
This is so selective that it's rather meaningless. She is a populist that gets things right on some issues. And then she gets things terribly wrong on other issues. If she had come out against McCain and explained why, she could have had a major impact for good to defeat his bid for re-election. Instead she caved and backed him. Very sad...
She fights against the libs, far better than anyone I know, and has been doing it effectively far longer than most. She does quite well at it, like Ted Cruz said, without her, he's not in the senate. She has done a fairly good job in rallying the troops, getting money for mostly good candidates, and helping push them over the finish line.
Ya think?
I think we'll just disagree on this one.
