I hate to say it again, but guess it has to be said:
Free Republic is a conservative site.
As a conservative site, we are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty, pro-America.
Like-minded folks know immediately what this means and why we will never "move on from abortion" as Rudy Giuliani and his supporters ask us to do.
Think about it.
You might as well be asking us to deny God. To deny the Creator that gave us life and liberty. To give up our children. To surrender our country to the left. To give up our freedom. To give up our faith and our belief in God's Word.
Why insult us like this?
IMHO, the root difference between conservatism and liberalism IS our belief in God. For the most part, we conservatives defend our Christian/Judeo founding and our God-centered traditional American society and family values system, and the belief that our most fundamental rights were bestowed upon us by our Creator. Rights given by man can be taken by man. Rights bestowed by God are unalienable rights.
Liberals, on the other hand, especially the Marxist/socialist liberal leadership and the big leftist feminist, homosexualist, abortionist, anti-religion organizations deny God exists. They deny our Christian/Judeo heritage, work overtime to destroy our traditional family values, and seek to destroy our freedoms, including, and especially our right to the free exercise of religion.
Our deeply rooted conservative belief in God and refusal to roll over for feminism, abortionism, homosexualism, socialism, etc., is the only thing stopping the left from completely overwhelming us with their godless, socialist perversions and completely wiping out our traditional Christian/Judeo God-centered free society.
If we cave-in to the left by nominating a supporter of abortion rights, gay rights, gun control, illegal aliens, etc., as our candidate for the presidency and de facto leader of the Republican party, then we will have destroyed our own pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty movement and will have destroyed all of our prior pro-life, pro family, pro-liberty work. The Republican party will have made itself a joke. It'll be left standing for nothing. Worse, it'll be left standing with NARAL, NOW, the ACLU, and every other feminist/homosexualist Marxist/socialist communist group.
Surrender to the abortionists? Not on your life!
This is Free Republic. We ARE the dissent! We fight for life and liberty! We fight for our traditional American family values! We proudly and diligently defend our Christian/Judeo heritage, our country, our constitution, and our right to be free and to freely worship our God!
IMHO, those of you who cannot or will not understand these simple truths will never understand what FR is all about, what the pro-life movement is all about, what conservatism is all about, or even what freedom is all about.
Conservative BUMP
to fullchroma:
I agree with what you say. And did you know that even the woman whose case this was came forward several years ago and said she was wrong
Amen and I got ya back......
1. A strong foreign policy/national defense (which was my main issue at the time).
2. Low taxes; low domestic spending.
3. A government that stayed out of the life of individuals.
All three of these are, IMO, conservative principles. Now, there always has been a tension, between the third on my list and certain aspects of social religious conservatism.
When you write: As a conservative site, we are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-liberty, pro-America., you appear to be defining conservatism almost entirely as a matter of being a social/religious conservative.
If so, then this is not really a conservative site -- certainly not the broad-based one it was, when I signed up in 2000. Rather, it is now a specifically social/religious conservative site. If this is the case, then you should expect that this site will have a significantly smaller number of users -- and correspondingly smaller influence.
As, I think is, happening.
Of course I know who Jim Robinson is...what’s your point?
“Holding off on backing a candidate till at least early ‘08...”

Ditto............holding here as well.
Amen bump.
You think I’m going to get zotted? For what? I don’t support Rudy although many seemed here seemed to jump to that conclusion. I asked a damn question about the polls and all these good people jumped all over me. For that I get zotted? Hah!
And a resounding Amen from an American in Alberta!
ping, ping, ping, ping, ping...pngpngpngpngpngpngpngpngpngpngpngpng...........
Just curious. LOL
Well said, sir. Very well said.
Let's just outlaw it and move on.
AMEN.
Abortion is a blatant abomination before our God. How long will God hold back His mighty hand of justice? Not too much longer, I think. We should pray daily for this nation and this world to repent of this abomination and turn our hearts back to Him.
Actually, there are roughly 1.3 million abortions performed in the US each year. That is still way too many.
There are about 46 million performed worldwide each year. Most of them occur in developing nations. That equals about 126,000 abortions per day. That’s roughly the entire population of Savannah Georgia - EVERY DAY!
We are aware that both the Light and dark are increasing in the world. We must stay the course and fight the good fight to the end.
That's exactly right. The whole terror warrior thing is a smokescreen. Hell, McCain has been tougher and more outspoken on the war than Rooty has.
The bulk of Giuliani's support here is coming from single-issue pro-abortion women.
Yep. That's the "conservative" thing to do. Shut up all dissent and all information that might suggest Republicans and conservatives are not all in lock step with the social right. Sure good we are different than the liberals.
Amen.
