Howdy everyone!!
Looks like a man who has no conservative accomplishments whatsoever (actually, no REPUBLICAN accomplishments whatsoever) is going to get the GOP nomination. A man whose record virtually matches Obama's in every respect, right down to his very own government mandated socialist compulsory health insurance program.
What were they thinking? It's going to be an interesting election season, but then we live in interesting times.
To the RINO GOP:
I'm not going to campaign for this phony empty suit. Not going to cheerlead for a man with an abortionist, homosexualist, statist record. Cannot possibly vote for him. But y'all gotta do what y'all gotta do. I'm not going to stand in the way of dumping the Marxist.
FR is going to live to fight another day!!
To our loyal conservative FReepers:
We are making slow but steady headway with our FReepathon. One percent per day keeps the 404 away!! Let's keep 'er going!!
Please keep those donations coming in folks. No matter who gets the nomination, or who gets elected, we conservatives are going to need FR more than ever to hold their feet to the fire!!
Free Republic is your conservative home on the Net. We are the resistance!!
Thank you all very much for your continuing support!!

Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God!!
Vote wisely. Vote STRAIGHT conservative. Put in a big supply of STATIST-B-GONE and vote 'em OUT!!
Rebellion is ON!!
This delusion Burke spoke of has been the historically dominant theme of mankind throughout the ages: if there's a problem, government will fix it. Freedom has been the rare exception. Even now, although it is clear through history up to the present that socialism is an utter failure and disaster, nevertheless, societies, including American society, continue to gravitate toward it.
Why? Why would people in the freest country in the world throw away what others (immigrants and patriots) have lost their lives to have here? Well, I’ve come across a couple videos of Milton Friedman which I think shed light on this question and, IMO, well worth the time to listen. Links below.

(@ 2:35 – “Private enterprise and the free market has no press agents whereas the government and the Federal Reserve Board has a great many press agents.”)

(@ 17:00 – “We didn’t live in a paradise, but there’s no period in human history when the ordinary man had as great an improvement in his lot in life as in the 19th century in the United States when the government was of trivial importance.
@20:22 – “The maintenance of a free society is a very difficult and complicated thing and it requires a self-denying ordinance of the most extreme kind. It requires a willingness to put up with temporary evils on the basis of the subtle and sophisticated understanding that if you step in to try to do something about them you’ll make matters worse.
Yes, I did see Jim’s good news and posted to him! Thank you very much for posting the scoreboard and remembering that I wouldn’t be here!
