I need to know this.
I just found this site and I'm chomping at the bit. There are these folks, you might have heard of them, that are fiscally conservative, believe in "little government" and individual rights. Call 'em Libertarians, Jefferson Republicans, bleah bleah bleah. They also believe...oh, shudder!....that govt. should NOT be in the biz of regulating morality...Don't tread on me...Do what you want; just don't hurt anyone else's chance of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...All that antiquated jazz...leave foreign folks be..etc. etc..
Are there ANY secular rights in this bunch, or are you all a throng of extremist fundy righties who believe gays are the spawn of satan and this world should be turned into the sanitized minivan driving equivalent of disney-land? Because, if you *ALL* are, I want nothing to do with you. Your "free republic" moniker is a fake and for whatever value your articles may contain it is rendered asunder by your bias and not-so-hidden religious ties. If this is a nation "uner God" than tell me now so I can say bye-bye and do what I can to promote "reason" and not faith as a policy maker.
I am fiscally conservative. I am a non-interventionist. (I don't believe in forcing democracy on a people not ready for it or willing to accept it, especially when we don't even have a real democracy to begin with). It's a waste of money and lives, and only a boon to those in power who want to cultivate empires. **** them. Have you had enough yet?? Is this the small govt. you so wish to have?? We create more terrorists than we stop. If you've turned off your ability to think in order to toe the pleasing party line you're an
I want your govt. out of my womb, my bedroom, my TV and radio and print, and anything else that warrants their (or your) snooping nose into my private behavior. If I hurt no-one, than please...leave me the **** alone. Can you handle this?? If not, than please rename your website to "Not-So-Free-Republic for Christians" or some otherwise qualifying statement that separates you from the almost-now-extinct minority of small govt. conservatives. True Libertarians are a dying breed. Please don't capitalize on their death by pretending to be there heir.
Cuz' you're not fooling anyone. You are a joke if you cal l yourself conservative and for small govt. YET you want to regulate morality and behavior.
See kids? It ain't so hard to post an intelligent reply! The neo-cons have a reputation these days for deflecting all criticism not with real answers to well deserved questions, but by sticking their hands over their eyes and fingers in their ears and screaming names.
Thanks Comet. I don't agree 100%, of course. You made a few good and deserved points about the LP. However, fat stinky men need lovin' too. That's why god created the GOP.
So who gets to enforce their code of morality? Christians? Hindus? Republicans? The Have-Mores? That's the problem we have here.
Abusing children or animals is one thing, evil. What you do with consenting adults is your businss, no one else's. Also, parents should be notified if their child wants an abortion because a child is *not* mature enough to have the same rights and freedoms to make decisions that an adult has.
"You do not see a War on Terrorism as self-defense in view of 9/11 ??" Sure. Just not the war in Iraq. Where's Osama? We're over in Iraq playing Wack-a-Mole and *it is NOT working*. The fight there is misplaced and based on lies.
In answer to some of the other posts....
I have no desire to indoctrinate your kids with the gay agenda (whatever that is). The ONLY thing proper to be taught in public schools is "education". History. Math. Science. Keep religions and idealogies out of it, unless it's a philosphy class.
I also don't belong to a country club. I love that one!! How quaint!! I don't even have golf clubs. Or khakis. I bet many of you do, however.
There's also nothing moral about being in a miserable marraige and breeding in this already overpopulated and wasteful country, but people do it anyway. That's their business. If you don't like gay people, then fine, you don't have to. Just leave them alone. And I hope you change your attitude if your child becomes one.
As for abortion, being pro-choice doesn't always mean being pro-abortion. There's this thing called birth control, see, and it needs to be cheap, accessible and encouraged. But taking away a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own body is wrong. If you really want to force women to have unwanted or unplanned babies no matter what the circumstance, than you should be forced to adopt them instead of having your own kids. Deal?? (Yeah, right, that'll be the day. You'll just sweep that one right under the rug, won't ya?)
Well, have a nice day, and do try to entertain some opposing viewpoints. Your head will not explode, I promise. You can't go through life just zotting who you don't like, although I can understand the appeal.
I wonder...how DOES Ann Coulter tell you folks to talk to Liberals anyway? ("Liberals" meaning anyone who doesn't agree mindlessly with you)Is it just pages full of funny pictures and zots?
I don't expect this fake account I've created will last long now, but thanks for proving my point. I got a laugh out of it.
It lives it lives it lives

You are mistaken, it is WE who are amused by your pathetic antics!
Have you considered a career in prophecy?
Give me a big kiss!
lol...
Later Loser!! are my only words....I have it on my clip board if anyone needs a peak...
41 is back up for viewing it appears..
They were probably doing a massive sniff test, and checking him out thoroughly.
1) Sodomy doesn't make a family.
2) Abortion is murder.
However, it is impossible for you to use spell check. Go figure.
Me: God, Guns, Gold and sometimes Grits.
idiot ping
Uh, like, dude, you chose a thread from 2002, and posted a rant that sounded rather...
As for being 'smarter' than I am, you'll prove that when your typing improves and you stop using terms such as, "Like, dude, ya know, like, wow man."
And your first post already put the lie to your supposed intelligence.
dude like I am a moron DU'er who has a thang with usin' 'net slang like I is sooo cool or somethun....
Go back to DU idiot
"My first statement is indirectly related to almost all of you peoplz on FR cus you talk about ridiculous things and make up all these insane ideas that are obviously faked."
Troll thinks everything is faked.
They also claim they are SMARTER than us.
Reading the quoted statement above, I'd say they are smoking something.
Socks and some boxer shorts maybe?
