Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?
vanity | April 21, 2007 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 04/21/2007 6:42:25 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

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?

No. I'm not interested in anything you have to say.

Good bye.

Thank you Jim Robinson, for Free Republic!
You have made an excellent point. I hope Fred Thompson runs. I think he could be elected!
I believe the Democrat nominee will be Al Gore.
The Republican party needs a conservative to go against him.

Oh brother.

What I find interesting is the lengths some are going to to blame conservatives for everything - here you are blaming them for abandoning Reagan & irrationally worshipping him at the same time.

I don’t understand people who won’t fight for a conservative candidate in the primary. To accept such a loathesome choice between Hillary and Giuliani is like choosing between a cold and the flu. I don’t like Rudy, nor do I trust him.

I don't understand why we won't let the primary process play out like it has for a couple hundred years.

It is wonderful to oppose Rudy. Or McCain, of Hunter, or whoever the hell we want to oppose. Somebody please explain to me why conservatives, or even conservatives at this forum, have to be in agreement about a candidate before the first debate, much less the first primary election.

One of the most important points I've ever seen made on FR. Especially right now at this point in our Country's history.

The Republic is based upon TheoNomic Principles (literally, "God's Law"), not TheoCracy (literally, "God is King").

It is both desirable and virtuous to seek the organization of Government according to a Biblical Theonomy -- a sacrosanct respect for Life, Liberty, and Property, according to an organization favoring Decentralization and Constitutionalism (exmaples from Deuteronomy and Daniel available on request).

But it is both dangerous and un-Biblical to seek any sort of Theocracy of Men until the Return of Jesus Christ. No mortal Man of Politics is properly qualified to be Theocrat, except for Him.


God's ("Moral") Laws are absolute and there are those who are striving to drag FR and especially America entirely out of the realm of faith and into the secularized fiscal-conservatism leavened Mammon that is Cultural Marxism.

Why the Pledge of Allegiance Matters--Speech by Tom McClintock
There is a reason behind the movement to strike the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance--and from our national customs, and our currency, and our public ceremonies. It has very little to do with atheism. It has a great deal to do with authoritarianism. The philosophy of the American Founding is unique among the nations of the world because of a bedrock principle that was given expression with words in the Declaration of Independence that are old and familiar, and yet...

“That is a lot of “lurkers”

Yeah, it’s great. A lot of people reading, with a lot fewer discussing. I’ve already been called a nazi, by one of our liberal friends. I don’t care.

It takes a strong constitution to debate these people. I try to do it with civility and humor, but sometimes I get a bit testy. When I do that I go way for awhile, because this is fun. It’s just people with keyboards hollering at each other. Nothing more. Nothing less.

And I’m really glad we have it. It’s always dead at Liberty Post, and nobody ever posts anything positive about anything.

From your post on RG speech N.A.R.A.L.

“In fact, it might be more consistent with the philosophy of the Republican Party. Because the Republican Party stands for the idea that you have to restore more freedom of choice, more opportunity, more opportunity for people to make their own choices rather than the government dictating those choices.”

This position (limited government intervention in personal choices) is indeed a core Republican Party principle.

"Sir, I supported Steve Forbes. Maybe before your time. There was some kind of awful about Keyes but I was always respectful of him. And this forum fought me tooth and nail about my support of Steve Forbes, but they never EVER told me I had to go."

To the best of my knowledge, Forbes is NOT an abortionist, feminist, homosexualist, illegal alien loving, gun grabbing liberal. Giuliani is. Those who continue trying to push this socialist butcher off onto the rest of us are going to feel a whole LOT of pushing back. This I promise.

And those who can't bear the truth about Giuliani and can't understand why conservatives outright reject such a repulsive liberal, should get out of the kitchen now, because we've barely begun to fight. I'm making it my own personal goal to knock Giuliani out of the primaries, simply by revealing the stark ugly truth about him. Mostly with words out of his own filthy mouth.

The only time I have seen people here called non-Christians is when they ridicult Christians, support abortion, etc. You have to agree that Rudy Giuliani has offended the Christian Right of the GOP, and some of his supporters here have made wise cracks about the “religious zealot” Christians. They created the animosity.

I certainly don’t agree with a fair collection of Peach’s comments, but your dancing on her grave is not only incredibly immature, your post degrades the value of this forum.

Sorry, I’d rather be the opposition than complicit in that kind of moral degradation.

I respect that.

This country, with over 300 million, has virtually 100% employment.

Add another 12 million employed in the black market.

The less than 5% of non-employed Americans are in that predicament because they are temporarily facing a setback or just unwilling to work. IMO, many of THEM are also part of the black market economy.

The point is that we NEED the immigrant for economic reasons. Many cities would face financial ruin or depression if the illegal suddenly 'disappeared'.

To allow THAT to happen is also moral degradation of millions of our citizens.

IOW, pick your poison.

This position (limited government intervention in personal choices) is indeed a core Republican Party principle.
Indeed, as long as your exercise of your choices doesn't interfere in the right to the same enjoyment of choices by others. Murder tends to do that and is therefore against the law. Killing an innocent child in the womb is murder. It is a moral outrage. It is supported by those whose conscience is so malformed that they redefine that human life out of existence and consign it to the status of "non-human" or "untermensch". Evil.
