Unlike Romney's "National Council for a New America," Free Republic is a conservative site!

I'm going to try one more time to explain what FR is all about.

Free Republic is a conservative site. That does not necessarily mean it is a Republican site. In fact there may be many Republicans we don't support and some Republican issues we cannot agree with.

I'll throw in Arlen Specter as a prime example of a Republican we cannot support. Should be obvious to all why not. Should also be just as obvious to all that we cannot support Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, John McCain and his lap dog Lindsay Graham, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, et al.

Some of the issues we cannot support as conservatives even though sometimes initiated by so-called Republicans include TARP, or any kind of government bailout of private enterprise, federal intrusion into free markets, federalized education systems, government provided or controlled health care systems, abortion, gay marriage, amnesty, global warming, gun control, etc.

I guess there is more than one definition of conservatism floating around out there, and this won't be text book, but the one we use involves defending, preserving and protecting our constitution, our unalienable rights, our traditional family values, our American heritage, our nation, our borders and our sovereignty.

We aggressively defend our rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness!

We aggressively defend our rights to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to keep and bear arms, right to due process, right to equality under the law, right to be governed under the rule of law, right to constitutionally limited government, right to corruption free government, right to self-government and our private property rights, etc.

We also aggressively defend our right to state and local government for all issues not expressly delegated to the central government by the constitution.

We aggressively defend our rights to free markets and our rights to live our lives free of government intrusion, interference, coercion, force, or abuse of any kind.

We aggressively defend our rights to national sovereignty, state sovereignty and individual sovereignty!

And this definition also includes aggressively fighting against all enemies foreign and domestic who may try to deprive us of our rights or sovereignty. This would obviously include all foreign enemies, but also we defend against RINOS, Democrats, liberals, socialists, Marxists, communists, militant feminists or homosexualists, radical environmentalists, etc, etc, etc.

And we expect our elected representatives to also aggressively defend our rights and fight against all enemies foreign and domestic. We do not elect people and send them to DC or our state capitals, etc, to reach across the aisles or to be bipartisan or to negotiate or compromise away our rights. If you're not going to aggressively fight for us, and for our rights, STAY OUT!!

We bow to no king but God!

Our God-given unalienable rights are NOT negotiable!

Do NOT Tread on US!

Thank you very much!

Romney: a pro-abortion Morman.

"Who is a traitor? "Liberal "maverick" socialists disguised as Republicans that "reach across the isle" and borrow a knife to stab conservatives in the back..."

"Our domestic enemies are far more dangerous to our liberty than our foreign enemies ever will be."

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."

It’s gratifying to see someone with clout take swipes at Pretty Boy Mitt. Just the mention of his name nauseates me.

Rather weak on other social values that Mormons are supposed to be strong on, too. I could not disagree more with Mormon theology, but certainly see no fundamental reason why the Mormon church couldn’t produce a good social conservative (Romney ain’t it, though).

nhwingut (lying RomneyBOT): "Palin voted for Romney. That must make her a MITTEN."

THE REAL DEAL:

"When the GOP held its Alaska caucus on Feb. 5, Palin didn’t bother to endorse a candidate,
despite personal appeals from Huckabee and Mitt Romney, her fellow social conservatives."


“Alaska Governor Sarah Palin did not give an endorsement to any candidates in the race,
though a spokeswoman for Palin said “she’d like to support McCain” but cannot because of his stance
on drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, according to the Anchorage Daily News.
Rival Romney received the endorsement of Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski this past weekend."

CONCLUSION: Is there even one (1) RomneyBOT who posts truth?

I don’t mean to be harsh. Understand that a vote for Palin was a vote for McCain. You can’t hide on a political board. I voted for McCain knowing Palin was on the ticket. That’s all.

Thank you, Jim. I'm a bit mystified as to why there seems to be some confusion about this issue.

Having reared five teenagers, it's pretty clear to me that it's either the "you wouldn't DARE!" or the "Just try and make me!" syndrome that the mittbots don't seem to have outgrown.

If Sarah Palin is so tone deaf that she chooses that charlatan as a VP, her credibility as a conservative should be seriously questioned.

I would still vote for Palin against Obama if she picked Mitt as her VP just like I would have voted for Reagan/Schweiker in '76 had Reagan gotten the nomination.

I would prefer that the pick Jindel or somebody else.

“Why should the Republican Party have to “reach out” to “moderates” and “broaden their appeal?””

I’ll probably get in trouble for saying this, but hell, Im in a get in trouble sort of mood today, so..

What possible value can ‘moderates’ have at this time? Anyone who can’t bring themselves to pick a side now is as useless as some moron who believes he’d be safe squatting in no man’s land during a fire fight.

Although I agree with your sentiments, or I wouldn’t be here, I would like to make a couple of points.

1. “Traditional family values “ or, as sometimes stated, “social issues” are essential for a stable and productive society but they can not and really should not be the function of the government .... especially the Federal Government. These issues are best left to the churches and communities.

2. I think sometimes we extend stated rights to issues not addressed in the constitution (like the passengers bill of rights) and therefore dilute and cheapen then. I would not consider corruption free government, and some others as rights. They are indeed necessary for effective government and an orderly society but are things that we should strive for.

I voted for Romney in the primary, wish there had been a better choice, and voted for McCain (and contributed to his campaign) in the general election .... again wish there had been a better choice.

I have been here much longer than my sign up date indicates and have found this forum informative and entertaining, I believe we are engaged in a great struggle for our country, I wish to be part of that struggle and will stay here until you decide it is time for me to leave or I no longer find it effective and fun.

A good and very accurate summation.

Arlen Specter reminds me of Howard on the Andy Griffith show...and I don’t know why.
