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.
I disagree. We need judges with common sense, knowing right from wrong.
And is it any wonder, considering how we conservatives tend to belly up to the buffet when one of our own is the main course? ; * )
That's right.
But the radical Right Wing Reformers of all stripes do great sevice in keeping the conservative movement on track and on task.
It is not disloyal to the cause to point out when a Republican president agrees to fund the very programs that are sucking the life out of the Republic.
Department of Education record budget pops to mind.
But, I take your point. I swallowed my spit and helped put Tennessee in the Bush tally. Swore that was my last "wasted vote."
Off 9/11, it was the best vote I have ever cast.
Kidding, right?
Jim had to go counter the communist terrorist supporters in Fresno important work...I am sure he didn't mean to be rude to you or Slipie.
J/K, my sweet!
Every poster here should echo this sentiment!
Bravo!
The fringe conservative movement has always had more representation here than their numbers show in at the polls. Maybe the folks who are attracted to it need a place to vent because they're hyper to begin with, I dunno.
But defeating Democrats is what it's all about, and I'm not going to be bullied about my support for our President. I supported him from the before the start when he was Governor of Texas and hopefully I helped convince others to support him, too.
He has not let me down. Governing this country takes some deft manuevering. I don't always agree with his decisions, but he has to deal with political reality. The trick is to get the voters to give you a working majority so that you can accomplish your agenda.
One can only imagine what we'd be talking about today if Gore had been elected.
Damn straight. That's why the best I've known aren't lawyers.
HOWEVER!
We have to eliminate the byzantine mess of laws we have first. Get rid of the lawyers in Congress first.
We either sit around and gripe or we do the very best we can. I opt for the latter.
Oops, that's rite, we gots two...
:>(
I guess I missed a lot in the past few days.
Sadly, no. I'm not.
