We need Trump and a reasonably regulated Free Market Capitalism and lots of trust busting. The current system is one of most inhumane in history.

The marxist virus has been eating away at our institutions for 105 years. Everything else flows out of that. Now we have corporate marxism.

Disney executives openly boast of grooming children into sexual/gender-identity ideologies.

This evil deserves pushback. Kudos to DeSantis.

Charitable giving is basically money and power for liberals and pushes their horrible ideas.

keep in mind DeSantis is being framed as the man to take out Trump by the FakeNewsMSM outside the US, even moreso than he is by the FakeNewsMSM inside the US.

the writer of this piece:

Wikipedia: Brendan O’Neill (columnist)
Once a Trotskyist, O’Neill was formerly a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party and wrote for the party’s journal Living Marxism. O’Neill self identifies as a Marxist libertarian...

Guess which of those is President Trump’s position.

So you and your Ronlim mini-meatballs are now linking arms with revolutionary communists.

I will simply tell you that this is how the Buchananites and later the Tedlims earned mass zotting, they posted garbage articles without regard to whom they were embracing; and at the end, attempted to recruit them onto FreeRepublic.

You sure pulled that one out of your arse. You don't know me, quite obviously. Kindly shove your insults. For you to say such a ridiculous and inflammatory thing in public is stark proof that your brain is out of whack.

Take a vacation. A long one. It'll do you good.

Interesting. I didn't know that about Brendan O’Neill, and it's good to know. So thank you.

About the media and DeSantis, yes, that's been quite apparent from the get-go. That's their only use for the man.

Same for all these politicians and pundits jumping in to "support" DeSantis -- Rove, Jeb Bush, ad nauseum -- when in reality they could not care less if he died tomorrow. They are only using him as a foil against Trump. It's as transparent as glass to anyone who isn't already whipped into a rabid frenzy by their worship of Trump and sees NEOCON CONSPIRACY, and then feels free to treat anyone who isn't 100% on the bandwagon as THE ENEMY. Never mind if you've voted Trump twice. Kookaburras. FR has too many of them at the moment.

These same eGOP people have been giving DeSantis lip service, giving him money, and so far he's given them absolutely nothing in return, although there's a conspiracy-theory or two as well.

They are not imposing taxes or fee on Disney or their customers other than what every other amusement park like Universal Studios already pays. You think removing the special treatment Disney has received for over 50 years is “vindictive”? Florida is not telling Disney what they can or cannot do - they are just removing privileges that no other company in Florida receives. Strange, most conservatives are opposed to corporate giveaways by government.

Ron DeSantis is DOA this time around.

Give it up already.

"Give it up already."

Give up what? Defending the most effective, most conservative governor currently in office against all of these silly, undeserved, unproductive and baseless attacks? Because that's what they are. And Donald Trump has been leading the charge, needlessly diminishing himself. DeSantis hasn't even declared yet, but that doesn't seem to matter to some folks.

You support Trump beyond anything else. Ok. I get it. I have too, in both 2016 and 2020. And I will again, if we're lucky.

Just because I'm not standing atop the "Trump or Die" bandwagon doesn't mean I don't support the man.

This black or white view of the universe will be our undoing.

You can separate people into tax brackets based on how often they visit Disney!

The wealthy can go yearly, the upper middle class can go every few years, the middle class can afford maybe one trip in their lifetime, and everyone else gets to watch the TikTok videos (or go into debt forever).

It’s basically a religious pilgrimage at this point.

All for mediocre food, rides, and characters in costumes made in China!

Not only that, but the money goes to a company that wants to push a “not-so-secret gay agenda” on children. What a deal, right? 😑

Thanks Joe. I think that’s was a pretty reasoned post.

I have liked a lot about Ron Too... however.

Truth be told, I think he is weak/and open to criticism...

1. Where certain parts of his money is coming from
2. Business acumen
3. Global Dynamics and how to deal with foreign leaders

If he does run and can’t win primaries and does carry
the caucuses, my concerns will be confirmed on one of
those counts, and perhaps more.
