You're entering the discussion at the half-way mark, and not quite understanding what's being said.
summer is asking me to quit posting to her, I am simply saying that I will comment on whatever threads she posts on FR.
So sorry that you don't like the advertisement on the thread, or any of all those other things that you don't like, and it's quite a shame that you will not listen to Radio FR, we'll try to limp along without you.
Radio FreeRepublic is a tool to promote this site that you so freely enjoy (as do the rest of us), and to promote and further the conservative cause, we advertise the shows as best as we can.
BTW, there is no hint of my being a Moderator, there is however, my statement that if she so desires to enter into a flame war with me, I am well prepared to do so, and that if she does so, to stay off the abuse button.
While it appears that many were pinged at random, I will add my two cents. First off, there is a big difference between American Conservatives and European Conservatives... for the most part.
Also, the EU press is whacked at of thier mind. Anyone that deviates the slightest bit from the status quo are branded "Far right," or "Extreminst". As far as I can tell, he was anti-immigration and thus a "Right-Winger". It is really rather pathetic.
I hate to say this but it might serve the the EU right by watching thier continent disintegrate before them. It might do the US good to see FIRSTHAND what happens to them.
As for pinging me, go right ahead. As long as it does not interfere with my plan for world conquest, I'm good with it! :D
What!!! Is that all you are going to give us?!!!
He died for repentant sinners. The willfully reprobate place themselves by their own free will beyond his grace.
So take care not to diminish the glorious sacrifice by suggesting the willfully reprobate must have a place at the table. They do not want a place at the table.
Do not cast precious pearls before swine. The swine are not interested.
Yep, just add incest and bestiality and you have the four legs of the table, it makes a sturdy platform for all iniquities. If you can justify one you can justify them all.
Yes, several thousand of you. This is an issue that deserves publicity, it is the only time I've ever used this "ultimate list."Explain to me why the fact that a murdered Dutch homosexual advocated pedophilia is worthy of maximum publicity on an American forum.
The guy is dead and as far as I can determine pedophilia is not a plank in his party's platform.
Are you afraid that some New Ager is going to channel him back to lead his party from beyond the grave?
It's a warning some of us have been raising at FR for a few years. The pro-sodomy libertarians have laughed us to scorn for suggesting such a thing. Now it appears that "progressives" such as Pim Fortuyn and Peter Singer were just way out ahead of the libertarian sheep who post here--trailblazers for moral depravity and sexual deviance.
In due time, the sheep will walk that trail.
Luke 23:39-43
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!" 40 But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." 42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." 43 Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." (NIV)
The "judge not" proscription may be just a validly applied to judging a man "good" where there is no evidence to support it. Jesus Christ even chastised someone for calling him "good master."
Which state of judgment Pim Fortuyn is in, I do not know for certain. I do know that I would not want to trade places with him on the mere chance that he is in the same circumstances as the repentant thief.
However, I do know better than to suggest that that God's grace may imposed on, and against the will of, a reprobate sinner.
Cornelis... you just had to egg me on didn't you. Man, its midnight and I am watching the Rockford Files but I will give it a go at a better explanation.
Conservatives are obviously named Conservatives because they want to conserve something. The difference is in WHAT the two repsctive continents want to conserve. The United States economic system, and indeed the entire Capitalist system is built upon Classical Liberalism that was best summarized in Adam Smith's "Wealth Of NAtions". That is the system that we enjoy today which is unfortunatel under daily assault from our Commie, I mean LIBERAL friends of the US.
European Conservatives are commonly called Fascists because what they seek to conserve is Empire, as in thier empires of the past. I really cant see much difference between a Fascist and a communist but for some strange reason they do. I look upon Fascist governments as a kind of Monarchy and Communist/Socialist governments as a type of Oligarchy. Either way they are both totalitarian regimes and IMHO are diametrically opposed to our own American Right-Wing.
To be sure, some of the pols that the EU press calls "Right-Wing," are indeed like us but since the powers that be over there call ANYONE who disagrees with them "Right-Wing," it gets difficult to tell what the hell is going on over there. They seem to like that in Europe. I think that Sylvio Berlusconi is the closest thing to an American Conservative that I can think of.
I believe it was the economist Frederich Hayek that said that American Conservatives were really Liberals in the truest sense as what WE want to conserve is individual freedom and individual rights.
Nowhere in history has such a government as ours arose... we are not peasants here in the USA, nor are we cogs in some Communist "System," working for the good of the "Collective," ; we are FREE citizens and Europe hates us for it. You see they still have that Royalty/Peasant mentality that are US liberals so desperately try to emulate, IMHO, it is disgusting and an affront to everything I hold dear.
The sad part is that here in the US, we acheived the ideal and ever since the hyenas have been nipping at our heels, trying to drag our grand experiment down and make slaves of us all. I can kind of understand. Freedom is diificult for some people. I just wish they would leave ours alone.
Well, how did I do? The screen is getting blurry but I hope that rant was acceptable. Too tired, no time to check for typos... :D
THIS, "You see they still have that Royalty/Peasant mentality that ARE US liberals so desperately try to emulate, IMHO, it is disgusting and an affront to everything I hold dear."
Should read like THIS, "You see they still have that Royalty/Peasant mentality that OUR US liberals so desperately try to emulate, IMHO, it is disgusting and an affront to everything I hold dear."
Go Rockford!!! :D
Immoral relativist Liberaltarians are not conservatives, let them all move to da Nederlands. There they can smoke pot, do their less than .5 grams possession of heroin and cocaine, visit their favorite prostitutes, sodomize 12 year old boys that give consent and have conjugal visits with their relatives and sheep. Just get them the heck out of the US and make them take their liberal friends with’em.
Now, be a good seamole and go back to wherever seamoles hole up in until summoned.
Don't forget to bow and walk backwards on your way out.
