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 claim about an event in Las Vegas being a barometer of a website's success has got to be one of the more absurd arguments ever posted on this forum. There's nothing forcing you to stay here--leave if it so horrible.
Petunia is on indefinite leave; she refuses to sing until all of her foes are vanquished...painfully.
Not true. Everything prior to the Bill of Rights concerns precisely what you say it's not: operational instructions.
Apples and Comesquats.
That it annoys you, is enough satisfaction for me.
Laz, tell the truth now. Are you an opportunist or do you just need some time off...you know, like spend some quality time with your family.
LP might hold some promise if it weren't for the blatant hypocrisy...hallmarks of failure.
Neither. I'm just a regular guy tryin' to make his way through this muddled world.
LP might hold some promise if it weren't for the blatant hypocrisy...hallmarks of failure.
Disagree. LP is a fine forum, and will improve even more as time goes on.
I don't see the leftists and marxists as the problem in America. You always know where they stand: They want bigger government and less indidivual freedom, and they will lie, cheat, steal, and even kill to achieve those goals. They are totally predictible in their ruthlessness.
But in the rare instances that the American public gets a chance to vote on a piece of their platform, it is always rejected. Yet the liberal/marxist agenda seems to proceed regardless, like a massive, irresistible force.
The explanation is simple: It is the appeasers of both parties who enable the liberals and marxists - but especially guilty are those enablers who claim to be conservatives. As quoted on Rush Limbaugh last week:
"The truly and deliberately evil men are a very small minority; it is the appeaser who unleashes them on mankind; it is the appeaser's intellectual abdication that invites them to take over. When a culture's dominant trend is geared to irrationality, the thugs win over the appeasers. When intellectual leaders fail to foster the best in the mixed, unformed, vacillating character of people at large, the thugs are sure to bring out the worst. When the ablest men turn into cowards, the average men turn into brutes."--Ayn Rand, Altruism as Appeasement, The Objectivist, January 1966.
TSK~~TSK~~TSK!
Your post: A friend of mine went to FRIVA Las Vegas and he told me that only 75 people showed up. In a website that claims 60,000 registered members, that says a lot about the effect of the current wrong headed policies.
....is an almost word for word quote from LP.
MOST disingenuous of you!
< /tomfoolery >
The constitution is a roadmap, not an itinerary.
Now, please don't argue with me anymore today. I've beat you fair and square and you and Laz are really getting on my nerves...again.
You are COMPLETELY wrong about EVERYTHING.
I accept your definitions, and offer profound apologies....
