Statement by Jim Robinson Regarding the State of our Free Republic

October 20, 2003 | Jim Robinson

[A CA Guy]

I know about people going into the news to change the world, those are the Democrats.

Where are the children of Conservatives that should be going into the profession and balancing this out?
If all liberal activists and few conservatives go into that business, then that is one area of weakness we need to over-come.

Think of that as another area of grass roots conservatism that needs to get going.

[Bob J]

And the official FR method of doing this is demonstrated by Jim's post here? Calling them his sworn enemies?

I beleive we were talking about politicans, neither of which, FR or Jim, can claim as a title.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Time to turn in you Attack Squad membership. You know where.

LOL...

Well, you know me - I go out of my way to be nice, but I've never rally been known to spare anyone's feelings. I call it like it is, and if people get mad about it, great -- maybe it will make them think, and that can't be a bad thing now can it? ;0)

[Protagoras]

As he signs increased social spending into law.

I'll see you one "signs it" and raise you a "proposes it".

(New entitlement, prescription drugs)

Mr. Fairbanks, I think what we need to do is make a gradual turn back to the right. The country has been hijacked and brainwashed by the left since the 1930's (or perhaps longer) through our schools, newspapers, and other information institutions - corrective action isn't going to occur overnight. We will get to those RINO's after we remove the greatest threats to liberty - the extreme leftists and their minions

Excellent post. The right has been demonized so badly, it will take time to reverse the damage, especially since the left are attacking harder than ever before right now.

(Before I came across FR I truly did think my head was going to explode any day. )

Me! Me!! Me!!! I thought the same thing!

Duct tape,  Tom Ridge encourages a supply for just such an emergency,  the Plastic is just in case you fail to apply the Duct tape in time.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

I would agree with post 629.

You have zero understanding of how the media controls the flow of information.

Here is an example. The DoD has been grinding out good news about Iraq non-stop. The president and everyone in the administration has been explaining what is going on and talking about the progress we have made.

These stories are confined to a few sites on the internet. The networks are still in quagmire mode.

Now, apparently you think that talking about something over and over will get you coverage. Well, wishing doesn't make it so. You have an example right before you...the coverage of Iraq. Bush has been forced to go to regional papers to get some positive coverage. And when he did that, the national media started attacking him for not meeting with them.

[F16Fighter]

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."

Great rant! No doubt about it -- we are at War with the Democrats, who's idea of a "Leader" is THE Anti-Christ.

We here at FR stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

[Oorang]

Less government - and, I'd like to see all of the little pieces of power the feds have taken be returned to the states

Couldn't agree more. States rights is a concept that some "average" folks don't even comprehend anymore because they are so used to the big nanny federalists.

What is your take on Pres. Bush doing recess appointments and why hasn't he done so?

[Chad Fairbanks]

And I agree - but, have I ever claimed to be a patient man? ;0)

[Bob J]

So in other words you don't know?

No, in other words Homey don't play that game.

How does one put a price on a priceless object?

I was hoping the seller didn't know what he had.

Now I'm going to have to shell out a bundle.

Thanks alot.

[OWK]

You have zero understanding of how the media controls the flow of information.

Cuz clearly what the "experts" are doing, is working so well..

(what with having to make carrier landings to get press coverage and all)

[eastforker]

$350 vacuumes for$90.$400 toolsets for $125,so on and so forth.For Freepers exclusively,I think it is a very good idea.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

anyone got a trumpet?

Don't ask. : )

With one of these babies... they rock!

The liberals have gradually shifted the concept of a constitutional republic. You know that elected politicians will vote for what the people want in order to keep their political position. If what they want voted for goes against the majority's belief, they run to the media and hype, republicans want to feed dog food to the elderly (or whatever in your face lie they can get away with), thus creating a false impression of conservatives. We need to fight that conception, and to keep fighting until the general population can see right through the lies. It's slowly starting to work.

We are not going to change pre-conceived notions overnight. But, when we have a majority, we can start working on those middle of the road conservatives. We can not undo decades of indoctrination in a few short years. This will be a lifelong persuit. Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll see a real conservative country in our lifetimes. But, I'd rather work hard now, than to allow the democrats to win.
