Sarah Palin was my first choice for president, but the left, the GOP establishment and many right here on FR wouldn’t have it. They trashed her and her family relentlessly with some of the unholiest filth and disgusting lies imaginable. Even so, I did little about it. I felt it was best to let the debate run its course on FR and that the best hard nosed conservative would rise to the top. Well, they drove her completely out and she didn’t run. Didn’t want to subject her family to such horrific pain and suffering. And who can blame her?

Then one by one, they turned their guns on and did the same thing to Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann, Cain and Santorum driving their support numbers down and Perry, Cain and Bachmann completely out of the race. As each one took their successive turns as our leading non-Romney conservative, they were relentlessly attacked, trashed and driven out.

Looked like we were repeating 2008 and were going to be stuck with a sure loser RINO again and Obama would waltz in for a second destructive term. We’re now running out of qualified conservative candidates and I’ll be damned if I’m going to allow Free Republic to be used to drive out our last remaining best conservative shot of defeating both Romney and Obama!!

Then a funny thing happened. Newt Gingrich, whom they’d destroyed and left for dead, arose from the grave and began smiting the heathen. He’s back as a born again hard as nails, no nonsense, bad ass battle scarred veteran of two greatly successful conservative revolutions--the Reagan Revolution of the 80s and then his own Republican Revolution of the 90s--and he's kicking godless RINO ass!!

I'm all in with the Gingrich Rebellion!!

I’ve looked at Newt’s plan. It’s Reagan’s plan on steroids. Radically reduce government, regulations, taxes, spending and the deficit! Restore constitutionally limited government! Restore states rights, restore individual rights, restore economic freedom! Restore superiority through superior firepower and restore American exceptionalism! Whack and dethrone the dictatorial liberal activist judiciary! Get the government the hell off our backs, out of our lives and out of our religion, and stop the wholesale slaughter of the innocent unborn!!

In short, restore our God-give unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness!!

We are the sovereigns!!

Now what is there not to like?

The GOP establishment claims that Newt is too extreme and not electable. That he will be unacceptable to evangelicals, women and the so-called independents.

Well, I guess South Carolina put the lie to that rubbish. Newt Gingrich won the majority of every important demographic category, including seniors, evangelicals, women AND the independents!! The only demographic Romney took was the LIBERALS! Now, why is that?

Newt has the support of the conservative base, the tea party rebels, the evangelicals and the independents and we are forming a Reaganesque coalition to defeat the GOP establishment RINO and the Obama Marxists!!

And now Newt is the leading Republican in the national polls. Guess the GOP establishment is full of baloney on that one, too (as usual).

"Electability" (as defined by the GOP-E) gave us Ford and Dull and McLame. Voting for the crazy right-wing extremist gave us Ronald Reagan!!

They dismissed us before. They denied us, denigrated us, trashed us, tried to ignore us, but now they FEAR us!! And they should.

When the people fear the government there is tyranny.

When the government (or the GOP establishment in this case) fears the people, there is Liberty!!

Fear of the people is a good thing.

The Declaration of Independence explains that government derives its "just powers" from the consent of the governed and clearly lays out our recourse when government becomes abusive or destructive to our freedom and God-given Liberty:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

I say alter it then!! The government is clearly out of its constitutional bounds!!

Secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity!!

We are rebels seeking to take back our freedom or aren’t we?

Rebellion is ON!!

Join or die!!

Don’t tread on me!!

May God continue to Bless America and may our Liberty be completely restored!!

Keep it coming, folks, we are the resistance!!

Thank you all very much!!

Sir, with all due respect to you, I think I dis-agree with you. First, I will save you the trouble of checking my posts. No one on FR was or is a bigger supporter of SP than myself. And, if she were on a ballot even today, I would vote for her.

But, in the end, as she herself put it, she put “family” first. George Washington and all his loyal fighters, when push came to shove, did not put their families FIRST! 500,000 DEAD men on both sides of the Civil War did not shrink from serving their country and leaving the wife, and babies at home by themselves. Hundreds of thousands of DEAD men in WWI and WWII did not either. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, same thing, and so on. And, along that same path, lots of women did not put FAMILY before COUNTRY either and faced down death and some died leaving a grieving family at home.

When I served my country for 2 years active duty, putting “MY” family FIRST.............. was not an option. There was a hot war going on not very far from me!

I am sure I will get flamed for saying this but “oh well”. No one will ever convince me that the Giffords shooting did scare the hell out of Sarah Palin and her family. And, I understand that! If she were my daughter or wife or mother, I would feel the same way!!

But, let’s don’t put the Palins, and Sarah in particular, up on the same pedestal as all the men by the hundreds of thousands who put their country first and then paid the ultimate price for doing so;...................and, in the same vein, let’s not equate her either to those that are still out there in the arena each day taking risks by the hour (Gingrich, Romney, Paul, Santorum), not sitting at home safe around a warm fire in the fireplace knowing full well that there are still crazed shooters out there.

But for those that died, or were turned into mist in the sky by artillery and bombs,or drowned, or flew a disabled plane into the ground, to say nothing of the millions of arms and legs blown off, none of us keyboard crunchers would be here tonight.

Hopefully, since indeed crazed shooters ARE still out there, Gingrich won’t lose his nerve and we get stuck with Romney....................or, jeeezzzz........Obama! Because, clearly, Gingrich is about the only hope us TRUE conservatives have left.

" "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable Rights; that among these, are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness; that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the govern ed; that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

With all due respect, how many of those men carried, gave birth to and raised five children? Do you expect women to go into battle? Men and women are different, but both can be brave and patriotic.

Mary Ludwig Hays' noble selfless actions in the Battle of Monmouth during American Revolution earned her the endearing name of Molly Pitcher
by the American troops she was aiding . . . She was and remains a Great American Patriot! And the best way to honor Molly Pitcher (1744–1832)
is the following account of her efforts during the Battle of Monmouth...

Molly Pitcher's fame began two years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the American Colonies. The fight for independence
had yet to take a favorable turn toward the Colonials. As the war continued, 28 June 1778 proved to be another day of fighting with stories of bravery.

Monmouth rocked with musket and gun fire.
The colonial cannon line under General Stirling aimed the barrels of its guns straight down on the British Redcoats as they attempted to cross a causeway.
Stirling's left-wing cannons bought time for General Washington to take command and regroup General Lee's scattered forces.
The gun line met the demands of the mission.

The heat of June 1778 soared to 96 degrees as the guns barked at the British. The cannon barrels smoked, and men fell from heatstroke.

In this stifling heat, a woman, Mary Ludwig Hays, walked back and forth from a well (or possibly a nearby creek)
carrying water to the hot men and smoldering guns. Her husband, William Hays, manned one of the valuable cannons.
They were making a difference by holding the causeway.

As American men fell from wounds and heat, the woman's bucket of water (or "pitcher") became precious. The men among the cannons began to call her ...
Molly Pitcher. A large woman, she reportedly carried wounded men away from the line to shade trees as she made her trip back to the well.

During one of her many returns to the line, she saw her husband fall.
A Colonial officer ordered his gun moved to the rear to make room on the line; he had no one left to man it. But Molly Pitcher stepped forward
to keep her husband's gun roaring - every cannon was important.
