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?
So you haven't voted Republican since Reagan?
Why did this thread pop up all of a sudden?
In any event, Rudy was a GREAT mayor. That doesn’t mean you’d want him in higher office.
Rudy would have been a better President than what we’ve had since Reagan left office.
BFLR
bump for current events.
Vote Trump.
“Thank you JimRob....This needs to be addressed, and there’s no one more qualified to start the debate than you.”
Compared to many, i am a newcomer. I’m glad Rudy G is on our side. He is a good bit of a gargoyle, pit bull, but he is mostly on our side. But he’s a Helper Guy, a Fix It guy, but he’s not the Leader of the Pack guy.
With everything about to happen, or not, i welcome observation from people that have been focused longer than i have just been paying attention.
Prayer is helpful, but so are purpose, direction, and action.
I just noticed the date on this. Yes i am tired, and therefore, my stupidity should be excused. Still, was a good read.
You caught me off guard there for a second...
My opinion of Rudy has changed a bit. I’ve come to the conclusion that we are passed his ‘Use By’ date...although he has done a lot of good in the past, we really need to move on to some new blood leading the charge, and Rudy needs to pass the torch.
IMHO, of course.
Isn’t it amazing how everything Jim ranted about in the opening post has come to pass in 2021-2022?
Jim is like a prophet of old , like Jeremiah, and like a modern warrior, like Patton!
Long may he live to fight the enemies of Freedom.
And Jim wrote that in 2007.
I thought of this thread today while discussing Repubs who we hate now but loved then. Or those who we love now, but hated back then.
So I posted a link to this thread here.
