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.
Your comments would be appreciated...
Maybe I don't know a enough about Liberatarians, but some of them seem out there sometimes...
MAF, hey there.
Many years ago...in the 50's...there was a joke going around that the difference between a Taft Republican (conservative) and an Eisenhower Republican (east coast liberal elite) was that the Eisenhower crowd was so liberal they actually believed in paying for Social Security while the Taft crowd said it was crazy to fund Social Security but were quite willing to always vote yes so their 'mothers and fathers' would not suffer...I think that is what was meant as 'compassionate conservatism' and it has merit.
You have discussed your disability and I believe you have stated you receive some income from the government for such. It bothers me that you choose to criticize the 'leftists' for enacting legislation in the 30s from which you derive some benefit.
The New Deal was indeed a watershed in this country and for the most part it gets a bum rap.
Not everyone on the left is a communist or socialist or a populist. Many of us have served this country with honor and dignity. Too few of us tried to kick Clinton back to Arkansas and the Democratic Party of New York capitulated to blackmail and should not be allowed in the halls at the convention in 2004. That said, I believe your call for reigning in government and exposing corruption is well worth the effort...but for every worm in the apple there are many seeds.
I try not to bring any 'liberal' bias here but it really is time for everyone to accept the fact that for all its faults the Social Security system in this country is a worthwhile endeavor...and nearly as important as the defense of our shores and way of life.
Bump to Free Republic and Jim Robinson and to defeating the Dems in 2002!
Your gift is in an envelope finally, look for it next week...couldn't get it to the PO yet...was it an upper or lower plate? Oh nevermind I remember...
