We've got some real challenges facing us. FR was established to fight against government corruption, overstepping, and abuse and to fight for a return to the limited constitutional government as envisioned and set forth by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and other founding documents.
One of the biggest cases of government corruption, overstepping and abuse that I know of is its disgraceful headlong slide into a socialist hell. Our founders never intended for abortion to be the law of the land. And they never intended the Supreme Court to be a legislative body. They never intended God or religion to be written out of public life. They never intended government to be used to deny God's existence or for government to be used to force sexual perversions onto our society or into our children's education curriculum. They never intend for government to disarm the people. They never intended for government to set up sanctuary cities for illegals. They never intended government to “rule” over the people and or to take their earnings or private property or to deprive them of their constitutional rights to free speech, free religion, private property, due process, etc. They never intended government to seize the private property of private citizens through draconian asset forfeiture laws or laws allowing government to take private property from lawful owners to give to developers. Or to seize wealth and redistribute it to others. Or to provide government forced health insurance or government forced retirement systems.
All of the above are examples of ever expanding socialism and tyranny brought to us by liberals/liberalism.
FR fights against the liberals/Democrats in all of these areas and always will. Now if liberalism infiltrates into the Republican party and Republicans start promoting all this socialist garbage, do you think that I or FR will suddenly stop fighting against it? Do you think I'm going to bow down and accept abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, global warming, illegal alien lawbreakers, gun control, asset forfeiture, socialism, tyranny, totalitarianism, etc, etc, etc, just so some fancy New York liberal lawyer can become president from the Republican party?
Do you really expect me to do that?

Hey I got it! Afternoon!
Dang. Bracketed it again. :-)
Howdy.
It's the first time I've seen a lot of things here.
The first time I've seen such disrespect from a Freeper directed at JimRob.
The first time I've seen someone offer JimRob money if he would ban someone else.
The first time that someone as liberal as Rudy has been supported on this conservative web site.
And I've not seen so many personal attacks (from both sides) being permitted by the Moderators.
Yes, it has been a series of firsts for me.
Absolutely, and I just got a fresh pot of coffee brewed! Celebrating the victory march in the true goal of the thread (as I see it) which is saying NO to Rudy, pushing back with conservative values and never, ever, quitting!
Howdy! It’s a great day to be a conservative I say!
I agree - the time for banning folks is hopefully past. Although I can think of a couple prominent posters who have laid low the last week, but should they return and resume their ways should be banned as well.
I also agree that Dog Gone is a good poster and should be left out of this.
Is there an entry in the Guiness Book of world records for longest threads? If so what is the screen name of their observer and I hope he is a conservative for goodness sakes!
Wow. This thread just went to 11.
In the “Scarlet Pimpernel” there is a scene of toothless old crones sitting around the guillotine, chatting and knitting, and occasionally cheering as another head drops into the basket with a thud.
I guess I’m not much different. Just can’t stay away from this thread.
FR ** bookmark ** ping
It’s impossible to. It’s rejuvenating!
“agree - the time for banning folks is hopefully past”
I said that last night and then bam here comes a moth into the light...I mean it’s really up to them, not FR in general.
I do agree that the bulk is finished but I think there will be sporadic buzzing into the light. Also, there is no room here for individual exemptions. It’s up to the individual and how far they want to attempt to troll.
Actually, people were making donations. There was no fund raising, per se, going on. Nobody was asking for donations.
It still wasn’t a fund raising thread. The purpose of this thread had nothing to do with fund raising.
I haven't. Don't tell me I'm not a "real" conservative.
I'm old enough to have voted for Reagan for President twice and I did. Proudly. (And not in the same election, either). Reagan, btw, was the only person I've ever voted for for President. All the other times, I was voting against.
I may have to do that again in the upcoming election.
But I will not break Reagan's 11th commandment.
Enough with the banning already.
It turned into one. No point in trying to split hairs. A fair amount of money has been raised to pay the juice bill for the bug zapper.
