Then isn’t it a bit disingenuous to be determining and declaring who is a “Christian” and who is merely a “X’ian”?

Equally, my friend, I’m sure you understand I mean no personal disrespect. Since you said “Cheers” I guess I won’t respond to your points.

Though disagreeing on most topics, we have co-existed peacefully; but, you know, I have to speak my piece from time to time...:-)

Okay, just one point... Of course, it is collusion between the federal governments and that is morally wrong, as well as the local designations of “sanctuary cities”...(glad you agree on that last one)...:-)

... Instead, you pick up anti-freeper insults at your other site, and throw them out here for attention.

More unsubstantiated lies. Why do you persist in being so dishonest? Is this a case of projection?

RG has already damaged the Pubbie party and the conservative cause in general.

Rudy is a Statist Socialist, pure and simple.

I think he might be a statist, but the socialist label is utterly false. I'm not here to defend him or promote him, but when the currency of this forum is to lie about him, I can either ignore it or point it out.

My feeling is that any candidate should be evaluated for exactly who he is. And that means, leave the lies out of it.

You have a point yet it is the xians who, in part, prevent me from being a better Christian. I so reject their hypocrisy that it leaves a bitterness in my heart. Yep, its my problem, but if we all tried to be better Christians there’d be fewer xians.

Either take it up with the one you really have the problem with, or drop it. I guess that’s an unreasonable request. You don’t have the courage to face him, or the self control to stop your little game. So just wander over to your other site, get your back pats, and then go back to the usual fart jokes. Have a nice day.

The battle lines are drawn between conservative and liberal - not Republican and Democrat.

Sigh, the trouble is that we cannot agree on what is liberal and what is conservative. What I do know is that honesty is a conservative value, and as such, I will not lie to you, Jim or anyone else and pretend that I'm supporting a candidate that I don't support just to remain in good standing on FR. I'm supporting Rudy, I have been for quite some time, and I intend on continuing in that endeavor. If that is enough to now get me banned from FR, so be it.

To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, that thou cans't not be false to any man. --Shakespeare.

Is Thompson still supportive of CFR?

I'm a Constitutional Conservative as well.

And as for doing the 'right thing'...........I most certainly will, as God leads.

God bless you.

Jim, I didn’t miss it. Anybody who reads a newspaper knows he is pro-choice/baby killing. Nobody is exactly coming down off the mountain with the tablets with that bit of information.

I’m not a Rudy supporter yet, he has to win me over or some other candidate has to win me over. My sole experience with Rudy consists of:

a. living in NYC when he was mayor and waking up to my car alarm blaring, looking out the window and watching his goons tow my car away because it was 4 inches over the no parking sign so that they can collect $120 plus towing fees to feather the city treasury.
b. ridding the city of squeegie pests who would try to clean said car windshield after I got it out of the impound yard near the pier.
c. meeting him at a Yankee game during the 1998 ALCS where we had a fascinating 15 second conversation about Andy Petitte’s pitching performance. (federal funding for embryonic stem cell research never came up)

But this idea that he is a Socialist when he cut taxes in a liberal city that never met money they didn’t think was theirs is simply not fair. Let’s be honest here.

If anything, I think that social conservatives would love the fact that he transfromed Times Square from Disneyworld for degenerate adults into...well...Disneyworld.

There are two issues that will turn me off to Rudy. If I ever hear a word about Global Warning or a need to perform social engineering to coerce people to quit smoking and lose weight whether they want to voluntarily or not, he can forget any possible support from me. To me, Global Warming hysteria and Nanny State Behavior Syndrome aren’t a disease in and of itself, they are lithmus test indicating a much more serious disease..what you and I call Socialism.

Do we know you? You said “good bye” as you embraced a RINO. Why are you still posting?

Excellent, Spiff. You nailed the points and exposed the “real world Republican” and her fellow travelers.

One addition: The same crowd extolled the DPW ports deal... uh, in spite of being “national security conservatives” I guess....

I know about Rudy.........which is why I don't support him.

Sorry you got confused about that, Spiff.

You brought it up, liar. I'm sure you'd like to back off your slander, but you're a liar.

Comparing Jim Robinson to Stalin, Castro, and Chavez now? Hey, what's that smell? So, the liberals are "intellectuals" and the conservative are stupid rednecks in your twisted mind? So, why do you bother hanging around us stupid rednecks? Don't you have something intellectual to do - like maybe a Planned Parenthood '101 Uses for a Dead Fetus' workshop or something?

Never said it, never have. Get a handle on posting. You're way out of line
