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?
“The original “Wideawakes” were radical abolitionists who were sick and tired of the compromised and cowardly Whig Party. They were third party radicals who had made up their minds that the scourge, the injustice, of slavery WAS going to end.
And yet, one of the primary links on the front of Ivan’s site says something like “no third parties.””
Apparently his PHd is in another area.
Aw, C’mon! They’re harmless, mostly.
I wonder how many DUmmies will infiltrate and rip on FR?

Poor baby.

“Evening! Great day for Free Republic and America!”
Samuel Johnson was right. Patriotism really is the last refuge of scoundrels.
Reagan ping. Well said.
I'll second that.
Sir,
If you took offense to anything I posted, could you please direct me to that post and tell me what offended you or why you would classify me as a “scoundrel”?
Thanks!

I was at a conservative academic seminar over the weekend. I did peek in for a few minutes from a hotel computer. The charge for that was $7.50 for 15 minutes, which is not too bad. But consider reading this whole thread at $7.50 per 15 minutes :-)
“Patriotism really is the last refuge of scoundrels.”
Then give this man a flag.
Okay, now that's funny!
Lost a few good ones, but FR can’t be liberal Rudy’s “campaign central”. After reading much of this thread I still don’t know what they were thinking.
The shame of these threads is you get the disruptors and the haughty but not the cowardly trolls like “areafiftyone” who go around instigating and manipulating, and run away.
Emotional cripples or paid trolls, they cause a lot of this sort of trouble. Though I have no sympathy for old timers who let themselves be manipulated.
Oh, boy, was he ever! You are absolutely right.
I think there is a possibility that Fred Thompson and Joe Lieberman could make a third party viable. The Republicans have all but dished out their cash so it may be “The Third” is the answer.
So EV, ya think we'd be accepted at WA? LOL
In your dreams. Third party divides Republican votes and thus you have a Dem in the white House.
I thought you wanted you account closed. Is that you Hildy?
