One more time:
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our BORDERS, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and FREEDOM of ASSOCIATION, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is NOT a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our GOD-GIVEN rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of Life.
Our God-given Life, Liberty and freedoms are NOT negotiable!!
For God, Family, Country, Life and Liberty!!
If you cannot live with the above, fine, but keep your mouth shut about it while on FR. Don't fight against us on ANY of our deeply held beliefs!!
DON'T TREAD ON ME!!
Anti Life & Liberty trolls will be ZOT on sight!!
Oops, posted too soon. I still had more to say.

I’m a big tent republican.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1821435/posts?page=6245#6245
Here’s an analogy to work with. Take a small box and fill it with some rocks. Then add some rice, filling it to the top. Now take all the same stuff, but in a different order. Put in the rice first, then add the rocks. What you’ll find is that if you put in the big stuff first, the small stuff will fit around it. But if you put in the small stuff first, the big stuff won’t have room. The republican tent is the box. The Big issues are the socon issues, to be put in first. The little issues are things that can be accommodated around the bigger stuff. A candidate who tries to focus on the smaller issues first and leave out the bigger issues has no way of getting all of us into the tent. He splits the party. The candidate who gets the big stuff right and as much of the little stuff that will fit, he can fit more into the tent. We’re often amazed at how much rice can keep fitting in. Rudy Giuliani flunks some of the big issues, and on some of the little issues it looks to me like anyone else’s rice would do just as well. All that remains for us to agree on is which are the bedrock principles and which are not. Why would there be so much invective aimed at rudy from the right? Because there are some bedrock principles that he is leaving out. Bad move. I see rudybot postings all the time saying that they would vote for Hunter, and I see socon postings that say they would not vote for rudy. That’s a BIG indicator of a few bedrock principles that are being left outside the tent in order to let in some rice.

Well, troll boy didn’t get no respect either! LOL
It doesn’t even say the account was suspended, it just says no one by that name. That’s a major zot.
Have to agree wholeheartedly with this. There's no end of sites you can go to and "debate" with libtards, despite the fact that it almost always quickly degenerates into profanity and ad hominem attacks on the libtard's part. FR is and always has been a breath of fresh air in this regard, a libtard-free-zone that doesn't waste bandwidth on the vile garbage that they quickly degenerate into spewing. Get an account on HuffPo or Politico or one of the MSM sites for that nonsense if that's what you're into. I admit to venting in this way on occasion, but there's no need to sully FR with that crap.
How about getting rid of Obama’s paid trolls who are sent here to aggitate, divide and destroy- like those who deliberately destroyed the work of one of our biggest fighters against Islam?
Mr. Robinson,
You know me as an ardent supporter. I say that a simpler mission will suffice for me. Pro Constitution! It implies all other things you say sir. STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST AND CONSTITUTIONALIST governing principles are what we need sir.
I am NOT a fan of FEDERAL government getting into “pro family” or “pro life”. It is and must be all left to the states. Period.
Sincerely,
Indianrightwinger
Well said, but a “states” issue. Let us get the Federal government out of it. It is NOT the job of the federal government to “fix” the social fabric.
“Life” issues are state rights issues. Liberty part I agree 10000000%. Amen to that!
Social issues MUST not be left off the table. But, they MUST certainly be moved to the “States” table. NOT the Federal table.
Take note of what sir?

Define 'social issues'...
Well, you’re half right. It’s none of the damn federal government’s business. They should butt out!
It WAS a states issue until the federal government interfered. The states cannot control these issues until the federal government repairs the damage it has done and backs away.
This notion has been pushed by libertarians for the past several decades, on the surface it may SOUND like the best plan, but it's actually designed to destroy the moral fiber of our Republic.
Just over two centuries ago the Founding Fathers decided that the only way to unify the states was to accept a truly immoral compromise that left a very critical social issue to the states. For the next six decades this issue festered until it finally exploded.
If we learned anything from slavery, it should be that it is IMPOSSIBLE to have a Republic where a human being can be considered a person in one state and not a person in another. Yet this is EXACTLY what is being proposed when it's suggested to let the states decide abortion for themselves.
There are plenty of states where few if any abortions are performed and there is no reason to believe that adopting a "pro-choice by state" policy would save a single life. There would be NOTHING to stop a woman in a pro-life state from going to a pro-adoption state to kill her baby, unless you want to suggest a FEDERAL law that prohibits this, in which case it's back to being a federal issue.
*********************************
The only way one might believe that this is an issue that should be decided on a state by state basis is if one did not believe that abortion is murder. This is where we can see whether someone really is pro-life or whether they are actually pro-abortion, imho.
Exactly!
The Libertarian Party platform is as leftist if not more so than the Dem party.
They want everything the official homosexual agenda pushers want, plus no-holds barred porn and prostitution. The LP platform has not to do with the Constitution.
It’s a fantasy utopian idiocy.
The problem is that the federal government has been enforcing an ultra leftist agenda for decades that has infected the entire country so perniciously that our Republic is in the most severe danger since its inception.
How to undo this? How to exterminate the toxic leftist infiltration into every aspect of life?
Plus, there is no such thing as a morally neutral government. Never has been, never will be. There are only two sides to morality - actual, real morality, and immorality. There is a line in the middle, and it’s too thin for any person or government to stand on.
Name some names, sweetiecakes.
Exactly.....
Amen, Wagglebee!

The Tea Party feels the same way.
Jim, I pray for you to have good health and hope you get better soon..
They are just libertines trying to tell us they are libertarians.
The official Libertarian Party platform is pure leftist anarchic libertinism. Libertarianism is the kook anarchy fringe of the left.
