Is Free Republic worth Saving? My Opus Part II
Free Republic ^ | August 30, 2013 | The Bat Ladys Husband

Posted on 05/02/2016 10:52:50 AM PDT by The Bat Ladys Husband

My involvement with Free Republic began around 2000 when my wife began her vigil around the Texas governor’s mansion in support of GW against the challenge of Al Gore for the presidency. I generally provided the livelihood for the Bat Lady to be able to protest and surround the mansion against the leftists who were kept at bay across the street. While she was registered in order to post after action reports I was a lurker

Now you’re defending those who Opus???? Am I hearing you, correctly? That they deserve decorum?

Oh, the hugh manatees!!! This IS series!!!

Do you need a safe space, Bob?

You made the general statement, saying that you’re automatically zotted, here, if you support Trump.

End of story.

Again....if you’re not happy, here....no one is forcing you to stay.

Take care.

OK, Just to make you feel better I’ll modify that to say:

A Zot is what happens when you are an obnoxious jerk to another poster or the ‘management’ of Free Republic. Being an obnoxious jerk towards Ted Cruz is tolerated.

Perhaps you would be more comfortable over at Lucianne.com, where obnoxious jerks who DON’T support Cruz are banned.

#90 Oh....you mentioned that you want “someone who knows (the Constitution) it & will govern it.” We’ve already had that someone, with 0blama. We’ve had eight years of his expertise. Where has that gotten us?

Obama DID EVER govern with the Constitution? He knows it so he can go around it. Do not compare anyone who WILL govern according to the Constitution with Obama.

and as for Trump IF/When he really is the nominee I will vote for him over Hillary. I'm not stupid! Unlike many of the Trumpsters in the reverse situation.

And why should Cruz get out or that he has lost right now? I didn't ask Trump to get out when he lost 5 states. I think we should play it out.

I don't like that Kasich stayed in but he has the right. And so does Cruz. if it goes to the convention than that is the why politics is played for the last century. So let's do it all the way.

Trump talks about the 2nd Amendment at every rally.

That is in the Bill of Rights, not the Constitution. The Constitution is the way the government should work and the limits on them. The BOR lists SOME of our freedoms they also should not take away.

[[The time for tearing down Donald Trump is past.]]

I’m not spendign all day replying to you- the primaries aren’t over- and noone is ‘tearing down donald- for hte most part- differences of opinion are not ‘tearing them down’

[[The hatred Cruz has received has been , for the most part, richly deserved.]]

Cripes- try to justify the crap all you like- that isn’t true- but your bias won’t allow you to believe anything but that-

[[Ted Cruz has become a sleazy, rotten, lying animal.]]

Class all the way- again- an emotional overreaction based on bias-

[[Those who insist on spreading the Cruz/GOPe brand of Trump-hating propaganda deserve to be shown the door.]]

ANDA OF COURSE BY ‘TRUMP HATING PROPOGANDA’ you mean ‘any position that isn’t complimentary to trump or supportive of him- any position that differs from his- Again- defends it all you like- but it’s reeks of berkley mentality to shut down any opposing viewpoints-

IF your candidate is so strong, and it’s ‘over’ as you claim- then you have nothing to worry about and no need for all the over the top over-reacting comments- but apparently you don’t really bleeive ‘it’s over’?

What brought this about was that I was invited to another site of former freepers...

I've lost count of the number of "other sites" that were started by former, disgruntled freepers that have come and gone..... all of them gone. The one soliciting you will be no different. It won't last six months until they have their own "fundraiser" or someone whines about the cost of "Free" and that's when the wheels always come off.

>> Donald Trump has been registered as a Republican for more over the last 30 years, than he has been as a Democrat. <<

I don’t know how long he has been registered what, but I do know that in 2008, he was singing the praises of how Hillary Clinton would be the best president ever, and saying he would do anything he could to get her elected.

It is odd, as many close to a score of years are with Trump.

Probably not. I’m sure some others have info on one of his major backers. He sure doesn’t seem too friendly to them these days; with what he’s said in public.

But I do know one thing for sure, Ted ain’t gonna be able to beat Hillary. And Ted likely won’t get to 700 delegates even.

We’re gonna find out, for sure.

cut the taxes.

“You've seen my statements. I do very well. I don't mind paying a little more in taxes. The middle class is getting clobbered in this country,” Donald Trump August 2015.

“And I want to go further and impose what I call a ‘Fair Share Surcharge’ on multimillionaires because right now we're behind and we need to get the wealthy and the corporations to pay more [of] their fair share so I can keep my promise,” she continued. “Which is: I will not raises taxes on the middle class.” Hillary Clinton January 2016

“Instead of a tax code that crushes innovation [and] imposes burdens on families struggling to make ends meet, imagine a simple flat tax that lets every American file his or her taxes on a postcard.” -Ted Cruz March 2015

“Abolish the IRS; take all 125,000 IRS agents, and put them on our southern border.” -Ted Cruz April 2015

One of Ted’s major backers, I mean. Trump is not too friendly to Hillary these days it seems.

Your point was that we need someone who ‘knows and governs’ with the Constitution.

My point was that even if someone is a Constitutional scholar....like 0bama....does NOT mean that they’ll govern with it.

cRuz himself has said that a candidate should get out of the race if there is no clear, mathematical path to the nomination. cRuz has reached that point, yet refuses to exit the race....to the detriment of the party and the will of the voters.

When Trump lost states, there were many more in the race (delegate splitters) and he didn’t have the clear path (number of delegates), as he does now.

There is no need to call Trump supporters stupid (”I’m not stupid! Unlike many of the Trumpsters ...”). No one called you a name, so no reason to go there, with that.

Finally....I’m not sure where you picked up the Trump/2nd Amendment/Constitution line, but I did not say that in my post to you. You may have meant that for someone else?
