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?
WooHoo! Flamingo!
“I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. ;)”
They have turnips and trucks in Alaska. I didn’t know you were Alaskan. So my Maryland Blue Crab bet offer was quite coincidental. I like my tasty Blues better than the Kings. Size does not matter lol.
Maybe so, but they were ... shall we say ... not so nice on this thread. I expected better.
But I got 12,000 by accident!
Meany!
Good morning placeholder ping-type thing. Or something.

Rudy and Hillary...twin peas in a pod...
Well, I thought my super scientific guys comment was dripping with enough sarcasm, but I guess next time I’ll have to add more. :)
I think 2 have PHd’s and the rerst either hold lesser degrees or no training at all.
Riiiiiiight! Weren't you backing up sully last night? Who's your new tag team partner?
On President Reagen’s 96th birthday, Mark Levin played this speech from 1964. Even though it was 43 years ago, so many of the President’s points apply today.
It is about 30 mins. long, but it is worth the time to listen. Click on the “speaker icon”. There is commentary from Mark at the end of the speech.
Thanks to MLF for archiving the speech.

Mr. Jim, if you feel this is not appropriate for this thread,I will understand , but I thought it would help us focus.
It is also so wonderful to hear President’s Reagen’s voice again!
Now that’s both funny AND offensive.....my favorite kinda post!
That's a mischaracterization of what I said, and it completely ignores the original comment to which I responded.
I really don't wish to discuss it further. Peace.
If we have no Washington in our time, I will take someone that can play him on tv. (Thompson)I like that; when did he say that? Source?
I was backing his question, which is what I reiterated a few posts above. No where did I see in sully’s post where he was backing Rudy. He asked a question, a very legitimate question. Would you care to answer it?
It’s early (which for me is before 4 PM- I’m a hardcore night person) which is probably why I didn’t pick up on it too quickly.
You’re here early too eh? It’s a great morning!
For some people, it looked like the CREVO issue was just an organizing principle that gave them a chance to war from the tone of their posts...much nastiness and aggression. Each new news story was another battle to be wrought.
Not my cup of tea at all.
