And the winna is!!! RBA!!!!
(PSSST...The word we are looking for here?? It rhymes with monarchy but stars with an "A")
You're a good man, Mr. Robertson.
When nip comes to tuck, Hillary will twist the screws and force them to vote along party lines, particularly when it comes to judges.
A moderate Republican is always a better bet than a moderate Democrat.
And if I say "No"?
For at least one thread, let's all at least agree that these dems must be defeated and destroyed.
Do you see me not agreeing or something? I'm just making it a point that not all "Democrats" have a (D) after their name, that's all... So, dont' get your panties in a bunch ;0)
It is a culture war (and the word "war" is by no means used as a euphemism) and the Democrat Party's primary goal is to destroy traditional America and its bedrock foundation, the traditional family unit.
Like it or not, the most potent weapon we have for effectively waging this war is the Republican Party because of its extensive resources and the full-fledged political apparatus that the Party already has in place.
Strict-constructionist Constitutional "third parties" are a loser, no matter how appealing they may seem from a purist ideological point of view, because they simply cannot compete at this point. And in the time it would take to develop one (or use one to "send a message") the America-haters of the Democrat Party and the left would have all the time they need to "finish the job". Therefore, the only viable and pragmatic course of action is to keep moving the Republican Party in the right direction through grass-roots activism and the fielding of strong candidates from the local level right on up.
The scumbags must not prevail.
I remember what it was like growing up in this country throughout the '50s and '60s and I look at my children today with very deep concern indeed. Was Leave It To Beaver realistic? LOFL, of course not! But does it represent at least one worthwhile ideal? Yep indeedy. And, as a utopian portrayal of a traditional American family, it is exactly the kind of ideal which is anathema to the scumbags of the left.
Who can ever forget the 1992 Democrat Convention when Bill Clinton literally mocked "family values" as the crowd cheered in delight? I have loathed Clinton ever since. It made me want to throw up.
No. The scumbags must never prevail.
Everything is great, wonderful in fact.
Trying to get Jhoffa_ Transmission off the ground in the next 30 - 60 days. Met the girl of my dreams.
I can honestly say that I have never been happier..
(Or, for that matter more broke!)
Not to worry ... the most seasoned, if not influential, of the GOP leadership is never so vindictive, petty or small that they fail to recognize the sort of Democrat who "consistently and courageously fought for his principles ... his commitment to excellence in public policy and his devotion to public service serv[ing] as an inspiration to all Americans." .
With you now.
With you until victory.
God Bless!
I know and love a lot of liberals and Democrats. I do not think these people are evil or trying to overthrow the Constitution. I just think they are misled by media, academia, and their foolish friends and neighbors.
Therefore, not every liberal or even every self-proclaimed socialist is an enemy. They are just falling for a pretty package.
I have lived under socialism, and I know FIRST HAND why it is wrong and does not work. There is no lesson like being able-bodied and paid a ransom not to work.
I have been liberal (as a young student) and I have seen the light; I know why that way of thinking is so popular: it's SWEET and LIGHT and EASY. Everything else looks so MEAN. Unfortunately, liberalism is a lie, and under the sugary surface it is not even kind to those it attempts to "help." It's as phony as a Clinton tear.
I am so glad you founded Free Republic. This is the greatest site on the Web. Long may it reign.
I don't we've been properly introduced enough to exchange insults. You start.
No truer words were ever typed.
Godspeed, friend. It's a privilege to serve with you.
1. FRAUD: The Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees each individual the unlimited right to own and use guns for hunting, self-protection, target shooting or other individual pursuits.
1.FACT: Although the gun lobby, led by the National Rifle Association, literally spends millions of dollars each year promoting this false claim, the truth is the federal courts have unanimously held that the right to keep and bear arms is limited to participation in an organized militia...that the Second Amendment does not guarantee the right of individuals to own and to carry arms.
OHHH this ticks me off. Why in the blue flame of *$^% do people not see why the 2nd Amendment was written. It's not for hunting it's to keep people FREE FROM THE TYRANNICAL REIGN THAT A GOVERNMENT MAY FORCE UPON THEM, AND TO GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO,"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." AND HAVE THE POWER TO BRING BACK THE TRUTH THAT,"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. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, AND IF IT EVER COMES , "--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --".
This is why the founders of this great REPUBLIC wrote the 2nd amendment into the Bill of Rights.
