We are currently experiencing both and it is challenging.
I pray FR survives this election. Our forum has never been so divided. But even more so, I pray our divided nation survives. If traitor Hillary or communist Sanders is elected, it will be difficult to continue as a free nation without invoking certain clauses in the Declaration. Our constitution is certainly being put to the test.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness
God is in charge. The original colonies were established mostly in the name of Judeo-Christianity and primarily for religious freedom. And our current government was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.
Republican, democrat, conservative, liberal, progressive are all political constructs and are useful, but are not the ultimate causes.
God, family, country, liberty are our causes.
We are all created in God's image. God gave us life and liberty. He taught us how to live, how to work, how to fend for ourselves and family, how to govern ourselves, how to defend ourselves our family our country, and how to worship and be faithful. Most of us on FR believe He had a mighty hand on the founding of our nation and that we should continue seeking Him as our guiding light.
Today we are caught up in what could very well be the climatic struggle for our nation's survival. We've been struggling in this nation against godless progressivism for at least 100 years. And, of course, against Satanic Islamic totalitarianism for 1400 years. Now we have the godless progressives, Marxist communists and Satanic Islamic fascist totalitarians all joining forces to try for the final destruction of our Judeo-Christian nation.
We are being invaded from within and without and we will fail as a nation if we do not recognize this and we fail to unite as a free people under God to fight for our survival.
At first I was very skeptical about Donald Trump entering the race. I'm a great believer in Ted Cruz and his godly conservatism. And I pray that if he's the candidate, that the nation bands together and grants him a landslide victory and a mandate to secure our nation and set it back on the righteous path.
But I have to admit that Trump surprised me and got my patriotic emotions stirring again. He is obviously not the evangelical constitutional conservative that Cruz is, but does appear to be a powerful leader with a love for America and freedom. And he's proving that he can pull in large crowds and great numbers in the polls.
As I said, I was skeptical at first, but after watching him campaign and learning some of the details about his Reagan-like tax plan and his determination to secure our borders and secure our nation I became a little more interested. And his non-PC approach to handling the media and the GOPe intrigued me.
His bold statements that we should build a wall, enforce the law, deport them ALL, end the sanctuary cities, end the anchor babies were shocking to most of the political class, but as his polling numbers attest, are exactly what the people want. Even more shocking were his bold statements of going after the families and the mosques of the terrorists and even slapping a moratorium on Muslim immigration. Shocking, but again, exactly what we need if we are to survive the war the Muslims are waging against us.
The political class to a man immediately rejected these bold statements as being unconstitutional and un-American, but as they see the people are for them, they are starting to come around.
Am I totally sold on Trump? Not yet. But if he continues as he is and doesn't blowup, he could very well be our nominee. And if so, I will support him to the hilt.
We have two great candidates in Cruz and Trump and I hope neither are knocked out too soon. We have RINO amnesty pimps Rubio, Kasich, Bush, et al, lurking just behind. And the GOPe is far from dead.
Go, Cruz, Go!
Go, Trump, Go!
Either way, we win, they lose.
And I pray one of these two gets it and that we can all join forces against the true enemy when he does.
God us all and bless America.
And FReepers, please quit attacking each other. We're all in this together.
Thank you for the HT. Many on the live rally thread have already contributed. A couple even became monthly donors in appreciation for Jims support. So It might be a bit late to start the competition. It would be unfair to ask those who already gave to repeat or give more.
But it would be a positive challenge to solve the financial situation.
Maybe the challenge should be to get new donors. As it appears there are many here who support either candidate and may not as Trump says be “economically vested” in the site.
Since Trumo supporters do not need to contribute to their candidate ( He is self funding) they should be encouraged to contribute the amount they would normally contribute to a candidate to FR in The Donald’s name
Cruz people may have their own rational for contribution.
A. Contest as such need not be necessary
I did reply to someone being rude. Looks like a s/w glitch that removed who it was addressed to - I wouldn’t know how to not reply to anyone in particular if i wanted to.
I used to ignore the insults; now after they’ve been allowed to continue so long, I respond in kind. I don’t attack first, but I’m not going to let ridiculous lies or insults go unanswered.
I was responding to someone that posted to me first. Their post may have been removed, it appears that I replied to nobody which i don’t know how to do.
I used to ignore the insults; now after they’ve been allowed to continue so long, I respond in kind. I don’t attack first, but I’m not going to let ridiculous lies or insults go unanswered. I’m not the GOPe.
So not respond on line. Hit the abuse button
I’ve heard that does nothing. By numerous sources that have tried it.
Try it now
Hallelujah! and Amen!
Thank you kind Sir.
We Stump for TRUMP
We Cannot lose with CRUZ
Make AMERICA GREAT AGAIN for ALL GREAT AMERICANS!
We’re all in this together!
:-))
:-))

Aye-aye, Captain!
Ok, I will be nice for 1 week. no 2.
and then see if things have settled down.
I apologize - I certainly didn’t mean to include you in my snarky comments, only the original poster to me.
Thank you for posting this. It should be inserted on every thread...Wish people would be less nasty to Sarah too!
Just a fantastic statement! Obviously took some time and effort.
Thanks for all you do and the opportunity to be able to belong to your large, wonderful family.
You are a very special man.
great ...it’s true
I’ve had ENOUGH ! I have never been more fed up
or pissed off about how my own government has
failed , utterly , to govern , properly .
Thank you for this forum and your thoughtful words.
“He ... does appear to be a powerful leader with a love for America and freedom. “
does appear to be
I wish we could replace those four words with “is”. Maybe someday. I’m skeptical, but I’ll roll the dice on Trump over whoever the Democrats nominate.
Sure. On a post where the owner states his desire for us to remember one single thing, we are all in this together.
But you see it the way you do, I see it differently.
Thanks
Well, that took courage. Honest self-assessment, a desire to make amends, and a decision to change your course of action. I hope the next two weeks are a blessing to you. This Nation needs all her sons and daughters focused on her future; a FRiend’s “insults” are of no consequence compared to the dangerous waters we’re navigating now. (And if the friend is false, they are of even less consequence.)
The fact that you read what I had to say and responded civilly I want to say I really appreciate.
