Vanity Opinion: Free Republic to Maintain Present Course - Call for More Turns on the Screws.
Patriots and Politics ^ | September 6, 2002 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 09/06/2002 4:36:11 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Just in case there is any lingering doubt, my intention for Free Republic is to maintain the present course. The course charted is, IMHO, the direct line to freedom.

Our mission, as stated on our front page and elsewhere is, "...to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America."

And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

The people who are killing freedom in our country just as they are all around the world are the leftists or marxists. The leftists/marxists dominate the communist parties, the socialist parties and the American Democrat Party.

The leftist/marxist infested Democrat Party has controlled all or most of our government for what? Sixty, seventy, eighty years or more of the last hundred?

The populists, progressives, socialists, marxists, leftists, liberals, Democrats, or whatever label you place on them are the people responsible for the slave tax, aka, the income tax, the "New Deal," the Ponzi social security scheme, the "Great Society," the socialist medicare nightmare, the welfare state, environmentalnazism, feminazism, high taxes, high spending, weakening and demoralizing our military, etc., etc.

They're also responsible for abridging/restricting/curtailing many of our constitutionally guaranteed rights, such as the right to keep and bear arms, the right to freely practice our religions, the right to freedom of association, while at the same time inventing a whole new class of extra constitutional leftist "rights" such as the "right to choose," i.e., legalized abortion, "gay rights," the "separation of church and state," etc.

In addition, they are responsible for "socializing," i.e., implementing government forced and taxpayer funded education, health care, insurance and retirement programs.

They've completely taken over our our education systems where they indoctrinate our youth with their immoral and Godless socialist dogma. They've dummied-down, demoralized and destroyed our society and our traditional family units and value systems.

After all this, to me, they are the party mostly to blame for the erosion of our Constitution, the destruction of our society, the loss of our national sovereignty, the loss of our states rights, and the wholesale corruption of our government.

Thus, as I see it, the best course of action to right these wrongs is to continue removing the liberals, socialists and leftists from our government as fast as we can. Eliminating the liberal influence automatically raises the level of conservatism in our government and its institutions.

We eliminate them by replacing them with non Democrats. This means, for the most part, supporting and voting for the Republican candidate in each race whether it be federal, state or local.

The Libertarians, Reformers, and other third parties know they cannot win national races. They do a great job writing, debating, and fighting for our constitutional rights, but they are not effective enough to win races. God bless them, they do not have and never will have the numbers necessary to win.

I fully support President Bush and the war on terrorism. We either fight this war now, and fight it over there and on our terms, or we can wait and fight it here on our soil. I never want to see a repeat of 9/11!

I never again want to see American blood running down our streets. The primary function of the federal government is to defend our borders, and, in this fight, that is exactly what we are doing.

I urge all conservatives and freedom loving Americans to go to the polls in November and give the President and the Congress a mandate to swing America away from the left. The pendulum has been way off to the left for way too many years. It's time to swing it our way for a change. It's time to crank a few more turns to the screws.

Jim,while that was certainly true in the past,it's no longer true. These people ARE in the Dim Party,but they are sideshow freaks,even there. The biggest danger we face now (other than ignorance,that is)is fascism. Even the Chinese have evolved into fascists how. Let's not focus too much on a historical enemy that is now relatively harmless,while not paying any attention to our new enemy.

HMMMMM Let me see - wonderful post but ummm - DO RHINOS COUNT? Don't have much choice in the Socialist State of New York.

Politics is the art of the possible. You should keep your ideals and work for them, but understand that sometimes you have to settle for second best. So, it depends on the RINO. On occasion, it might be best to vote for a conservative, pro-life Democrat rather than a liberal Republican. But these days, that is getting less and less likely to happen.

Also, you have to consider. Is it worth venting your pique at admittedly bad RINOs like Olympia Snowe, let's say, when the alternative might be to give the Dems a majority in the Senate?

Most of us would have held our breaths and voted for Giuliani if he had stayed in the race against Hillary. He is an extreme pro-abort, which is not something we need more of in the Senate; but the alternative would have been clearly worse.

So, keep your ideals but be sensible. 60% of the pie is better than nothing. And maybe tomorrow you can get a little more pie.

I guess you can say government should help ensure and enforce a fair and equitable (and SIMPLE) system, then leave everyone alone to do their own thing and pursue whatever happiness there is to pursue.

if Republicans start getting elected in large numbers, that will change.

If wishes were horses, beggers would ride.

After November, it's time to start working the RINOs over.

Judges made themselves more powerful than Congress and the President combined.

... a power Congress and the president together could take away at any moment, if they so desired.

"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything. "I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.'

"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

~~ Ronald Reagan, in his autobiography, An American Life

No, darlin', people were hangin' ornaments on me. Hay bales were dropped on the floor in front of me. Plus, if my face was any redder cars would be stopping as they passed me on street corners. So how did you get my family to all say ".........well, yeah, like, um....yeah......you'd stop a clock, Dad.............."??? Sneaky. VERY sneaky.

We have to eliminate the byzantine mess of laws we have first. Get rid of the lawyers in Congress first.

This is all fine and dandy,as is the advise to elect conservatives. However,how is either related to voting for statists airheads like Giddy Dolt? She had been endorsed by both the RNC and the White House,and if Giddy is a consrvative,I'm the next Pope. I will NOT vote for her,regardless of who her opponet is. If this means the Reps don't regain control of the Senate,so be it. It's not MY fault,it's theirs. They COULD have backed either of the conservative men who wanted that seat,but chose to back Giddy,instead. They did this for the same reason these losers backed Bob Dolt. He and she are insiders who can be trusted to not upset anybody's apple cart.

"Though most FReepers see this, the average citizen doesn't ...... and we have to move things back the other way in small enough increments that each one will be acceptable."

Major bold bump.
