Statement by Jim Robinson Regarding the State of our Free Republic
October 20, 2003 | Jim Robinson

I happen to believe that Bill and Hillary Clinton were the worst presidents in our nation's history. Corruption, government abuse, treason and daily scandal were the norm under their rule. Bill is a useful idiot who can't keep his mouth shut or his zipper up and Hillary is an America hating godless communist power monger. These are my personal opinions.

Bill and Hillary Clinton and their minions still wield a tremendous amount of power and influence over the Democrat Party, the socialist movement and the national press. Their goals are to completely eliminate our rights to free speech, free religion, freedom to keep and bear arms, etc., and these are just for starters.

I believe the overall goal of their movement is to completely do away with the U.S. Constitution and in its place, install socialist/totalitarian rule over America. Furthermore, I believe they wish to do away with our national sovereignty altogether and subject America to domination by the U.N. and other world bodies.

Now you may call me a nutcase if you wish, but that's the way I see it. I believe that in the last century, FDR, LBJ, RMN, Carter, Clinton, et al, successfully introduced many socialist programs into our government and our way of life and with the help of the media and atheist institutions like the ACLU began systematically destroying the fabric of our society. In the process, they've moved both of our major political parties way over to the left. They (the liberals/marxists/socialists) have almost completely taken over all of our government institutions and agencies, the judiciary, the press, the Universities, our education systems, our charities, even our churches.

I believe that as long as Bill and Hillary Clinton and their like minded socialist minions have any influence or power over the government or either of the two major political parties, our nation and all of our freedoms are in extreme danger.

Free Republic was created in 1996 as a place where liberty-minded individuals could gather and share the news and discuss the Clinton scandals and other government abuses. I had hoped that the truth of the Clinton corruption would come out in time to prevent his re-election in 1996. Didn't happen. So we moved on. If we couldn't block his re-election, well, perhaps we could help with his impeachment. He was impeached, but we could not remove him.

So next, we decide to do all in our power to ensure that his second in command does not get to the Whitehouse. Even though GWB was not my first choice, once he won the Republican nomination, most of us rallied behind him and fought like the dickens to get him elected. Then we fought again to block the attempted Gore coup d'etat. Our Free Republic chapters mobilized all across the nation and there were thousands of rallies and protests in hundreds of cities objecting loudly to Gore's attempted takeover.

Then we all thanked God when Bush was finally declared the winner and off to Washington we went to celebrate at the Free Republic George W. Bush Inaugural Ball (I).

Then we all thank God again when after the cowardly attack on our nation by a gang of murderous international terrorists we realize how close we were to complete collapse and national destruction had the socialist U.N. loving Al Gore been in charge. Thank God for President Bush!

And I haven't even mentioned how evil I truly believe the official Democrat Party platform is. Here's a partial laundry list of what the Democrat Party supports and promotes: abortion; homosexuality; feminaziism; environmentalism; government control over every aspect of our lives and society; socialized health care; disarmament of the American people; subjugation of the U.S. to the U.N.; the complete elimination of our national sovereignty; complete destruction of our basic traditional family unit; loss of personal freedoms and individual liberty. In other words, complete destruction of our Constitution and Bill of Rights and our American way of life.

I came to the conclusion several years ago that there is no way this republic can survive if we allow the Democrat Party to maintain control over our government and other institutions. If America is to survive as we know it, Bill and Hillary Clinton and all the current democrat/socialist power mongers who share their philosophy and visions for a socialist America and socialist world must be soundly rejected and defeated at the polls.

And not just at the presidential level. They must be rejected and removed from both houses of Congress and from our State houses and local legislatures. For example, if we cannot remove them from the Senate, then there is no hope for reestablishing a judiciary built on the original intent of the Constitution and the rule-of-law. The liberals and socialists must be rooted out of our congress and our judiciary. Our free republic, our freedom and even liberty itself depends on it.

Just my humble opinion and why I act the way I do. I see the Democrat Party as domestic enemy number one of the Constitution and therefor it is my sworn enemy. And, in my eyes, anyone who helps to elect members of the Democrat party are aiding and abetting the enemy.

Futhermore, I believe wholeheartedly in the original intent of our Founding Fathers and in the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

God gave us these unalienable rights and they can never be taken from us by man or government. And we are ALL to be treated justly and equally under the law.

"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

Yes, the Founders established a government and set forth the plan for us to govern ourselves.

"That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

The government has become destructive to these ends. One of the main purposes of our government is to defend, preserve and protect our liberty. It has been doing just the opposite. Therefore, it is our right and duty to alter or abolish it. I propose doing so by destroying enemy number one of the Constitution, the corrupt socialist Democrat Party.

66 or 70 Republican Senators? Why not 90? Why not 400 Republican Congressmen, while we're at it?

Sounds good! BTW - You're veiled sarcasm implies that having these numbers will result in less conservative legislation and judges. Care to elaborate?

This moving of the bar invites GOP unaccountability.

Empty rhetoric. Maybe less accountability to demanding fringe voters like Libertarians, but not to the general run of the mill conservative population.

We were told in 2000 that we needed to take back the Senate to confirm conservative judges. Then the Democrats fought back. Our party wrung their hands in fury.

Who'd a thunk the dems would have pulled out their crying towels and played rules tricks? Although I think all would agree that Frist needs to play hardball.

Now, we're told we need a veto-proof supermajority, or a rino-veto-proof superdupermajority.

I believe you meant "filibusterproof". A veto proof supermajority would be 2/3rds and is what the dems desire at this point.

Every election, politicians need to fear for their jobs. If a politician doesn't feel that fear, there is no leverage over him. Which voters do politicians fear the most?

The ones from the other party. Oh, and the fringe voters from their own party demanding actions that would turn the 50% middle of the road voters into socialists.

The ones that make or break most elections, and those aren't committed, hell or high water voters, those are taken for granted.

That would be the 50% in the middle, not the 5% superfringe nutcases.

Once a politician knows your vote is in the bag, he'll put golf spikes in your back to get to a swing voter.

So let's hold out our 5% and make demands, because we all know 5% is bigger than 50%.

Getting rid of Democrats is only half the battle; the other half must be fought simultaneously, and that is to get Republicans to act like they have enough of a spine to stand up for the values of their constituents.

Want to help give pubs some spine? How about letting them know you will support them through thick and thin even though you don't agree with them 100%. Conservative politicians are more scared of the liberal press, who are looking to take them out and end their careers, at the slightest misstep they make. This works because too many conservative, particularly the ones willing to jump ship at election time due to a perceived lack of ideological purity, are too quick to dump them as damaged goods.

It took decades for the dems to acheive this level of socialistic control. I would love for it to be acheived in a few short years. (Can I be dictator for a week?) We need to re-educate the population and show them why a conservative agenda is the right thing. This will take time. We can start by using the already in place republicann party, gain a super-majority, then, weed out the rinos. Only then can we truly get our constitution back to the original intent.

Over the years, I've become less optimistic - even though we one the last election or two.

I think we're headed to socialism and ultimately, when all is "free," the military is gone, and work incentives are nil, we'll collapse into malaise.

The propaganda and court packing of the Dems is accepted by too many people.

Practically, please tell me how electing a democrat to replace Olympia Snowe helps us.

Practically speaking, tell me how Olympia Snowe not fearing for her job helps conservatism?

On the subject of practicality...

As you can see, I am sceptical of your comment.

Apply that skepticism to your desire for 66 or 70 Senators from a single party.

How many years since 1900 has one party ever held that many seats?

12 at 66+. From 1935-45, and 1963-67 for the Democrats. Never for the GOP.

No party has ever held 70 seats in the US Senate.

Having a majority was our goal, and a lot of people (I daresay most) thought that was good enough. Unfortunately, the Rats were underestimated.

Why is our side never underestimated?

More appropriately, why does our side always underestimate themselves?

We need a super majority to get judges. You know this, and I find your comment to be nothing but an attempt to get people to arguing and slamming Repulicans

No, I don't know it.

The Democrats don't have a genie in the bottle, they simply did something unprecedented, and kicked our Senators' tails between their legs. The Democrats get it. It's civil war war by other means, namely, the judiciary, and the Democrats will do what it takes to win. We won't, at least not yet.

Republicans would prefer to wring their hands, being careful not to break their nails, and stump for some pie in the sky, rino-veto-proof supermajority.

Meanwhile we expand the non-military size of government at a rate faster than we did under Clinton.

We always have excuses for not fighting. We accept the Democrats' definition of incrementalism... giving them half of what they want, half as fast as they want it, rather than taking ground from them.

What's going to happen if we get 58 Senate seats? Two more years of superduper fundraisers? No point in fighting, we can't get cloture. Is that it?

If we don't demand accountability from our own party, and if we follow your template, that's where we'll end up.

And, in my eyes, anyone who helps to elect members of the Democrat party are aiding and abetting the enemy.

So I guess that means anyone who doesn't vote republican is an evil-doing enemy of the state. Wow, now there's a choice for conservatives to ponder.
