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.
The leftists/socialists/communists have the money, they have the "old" media, they have "old" education, and they have most of Hollywood.
But they will never ever have our hearts, our minds, or our souls - and as long as there is a heart and mind like yours out there fighting to defeat them - there is hope for this country!
God bless you, Jim Robinson!
I always say - I love posting on FR because finally after having to be so careful what you say in a work environment, I can say what I want and no one can hit me.
Besides, I have a strong "wallpaper" complex - they won't pay attention to what I say anyway - so I might as well enjoy saying it.
Thanks for the post Jim, but next time don't beat around the bush. Just tell us how you really feel. ;-)
Who'd be driving the electric carpool this week?
SNAPPY SALUTE!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Jim you are a wise man..Thanks for the clarity and to heck with the detractors!
I have several concerns about the direction Social Security is heading.
1. I think my fellow baby boomers are going to vote overwhelmingly for politicians who deliver the most benefits.
Social Security taxes (FICA) and benefits have increased just about every year for most of my working life. I just don't see how the taxes and benefits can be kept from rising in the forseeable future.
2. There is nothing I can find in the Constitution that delegates to the Federal government the authority to have such a program. The Tenth Amendment requires such a delegation.
3. I like the idea of privatization of Social Security, provided that this works toward the goal of abolishing SS within a generation or two.
Lowering Federal taxes and expanding such things as IRA's is the direction this country should be heading, IMO.
