Being carried in on a slab is not an option for me. I have kids. I would prefer not to have my daughters gang raped by the ‘enemy’.
If you seriously think that this election is just like the last, then you think all candidates are the same. Do you know anyone like this?
1. Do you know anyone who has the understanding and gained their understanding of Jesus Christ and defend it, and they got that understanding from someone like Jeremiah Wright? Do you know anyone who is a good Christian that believes there is no salvation unless there’s collective salvation?
2. Do you know somebody who is raised and/or mentored by communists?
3. Do you have friends or acquaintances that are Marxists, Communists, or have been actively engaged in the overthrow of the United States government?
4. Have you ever been at a party celebrating someone who has been accused of domestic terrorism?
5. Do you know anyone or have you ever been to a party and gave a toast to someone who is accused of being a Muslim terrorist?
6. Do you or any of your friends have the belief that terrorism doesn’t really exist? And that by definition jihad is only a holy struggle?
7. How many of you or how many of your friends have hired members of the Muslim Brotherhood to provide security for your business or their business? Or would hire members of the Muslim Brotherhood to go through and put together your security for your town?
8. Do you have any friends that believe the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular and good?
9. Do you know anybody that thinks NASA’s foremost goal should be Muslim outreach, so you can help them and NASA can help them feel good?
10. Do you know anybody who believes that Occupy Wall Street features the best people in our country right now?
11. Is it even conceivable that anyone you know or associate with would think that killing Osama Bin Laden was a tough decision? With that, you have a single friend who in that case would make sure that we have a “blame someone else” memo ready just in case it went wrong?
12. Do you have anybody in your circle of friends or your circle of influence that believes America and Israel is the biggest obstacle to peace and stability in the world. Do you know anyone who believes the United States constitution needs to be a photo negative to be right with the world today?
13. Would you or anyone you know take a gift given to the United States after 9/11, a bust of Winston Churchill, and try to give it back to the prime minister on your first meeting? And when he says, “No, no, that’s a gift, you can keep it,” would you or anyone in your circle of influence then take that bust, box it up, ship it back yourself and say “We don’t need it anymore”?
14. Do you know anyone, a single person, who has a wife or a husband that has never been proud of the United States of America until something good happened in their life?
15. Do you know anybody who would actively defend allowing a baby to die without treatment in a hospital if an abortion failed? That the baby would be born outside, the doctors would have it, and they would be allowed to put it in a closet and just let it die?
16. Would someone in your life withhold needed money from poor countries or suggest that needed money from poor countries was withheld unless they change the Constitution to be pro-abortion?
17. Do you know anybody who believes the only way out of debt is to spend $5 trillion in three and a half years? Or believes Solyndra and other green businesses were a good bet, and that the people’s hard earned money is something you should gamble with and you think that it should continue?
18. How many people do you know personally that would give a shout out to someone to say, “Hey, I just want to say hi to Bob over there and thank Bob – It’s been a great day, Bob,” before you had to announce to the country that 13 soldiers were murdered by an Islamic extremist on our own soil?
19. Do you know anybody who claims to be a huge Israeli supporter? Do you know anybody who says, “I’m the biggest fan of Israel, they’re our biggest and strongest ally, and I’m a huge supporter. I’m the best thing that has happened.” And that when the prime minister of that country flew from the other side of the globe to have a scheduled dinner with you, you would humiliate him and blow off for dinner? Let him eat alone while you had a quiet dinner someplace else with friends? Do you know anybody who says, “I am the biggest supporter of Israel,” and then visited all of the Muslim countries around Israel but couldn’t find the time to go to Israel? And that as Israel’s biggest, most loyal supporter, believes they should go back to the indefensible ’67 borders? I understand it if you’re not a fan of Israel, but if you’re a fan of Israel, do you know a soul that is a true fan of Israel that says, “Yes, go back to the ’67 borders”?
20. Do you know any committed capitalist who believes in redistribution of wealth?
Whine all you want about Romney, but the alternative is Pharaoh Obama. Just like there is no magic Uterus, there is no magic Republican to save the day.
The Primaries are over and the Voters have made their choice. Now you fight the War with the Military you have.
Conservatives reeled in Bush on Immigration Amnesty and Harriet Miers. We seem to forget that Bush was a Big Government RINO himself and he helped get Obama Elected by default. There is plenty of blame to go around for that.
Voting for Romney will ultimately wipe out all the gains made by the Tea Party since 2010. The party in the White House almost always loses seats in Congress. If Romney gets in and goes liberal on multiple issues, and you have to realize he will, Republicans suffer major losses in Congress and at the state level. Romney will set us back to where we were in 2008.
He has a history of being a party wrecker. Republicans after he was done in Massachusetts had less in the legislature than at any time since the civil war.
FUMR!
I enthusiastically support taking the Senate and keeping the House, but your reply does not address the question at all. McCain, Romney, Christie? Supporting the leftward drift of the GOP only compounds the problem of lefward drift.
Please forgive me for the extreme amount of pleasure I derive from typing this: The Primaries are over and the Voters have made their choice. Now you fight the War with the Military you have.
Whine all you want about Akin, but the alternative is Claire McCaskill. Just like there is no magic Uterus, there is no magic Republican to save the day.
To netmilsmom: You certainly do project your fears. You got McCain last election cycle, you got Romney this election cycle, next election cycle you get what?
Believe this: Being carried in on a slab may become an option for all of us, however do not doubt that God has it within his power to use whomever He chooses to provide “understanding” of Jesus... Even Saul of Tarsus, certainly once as wicked a man as Jeremiah Wright.
As for the rest of what you posted, I have no reply, nor any urge to defend a position I didn’t take.
LOL I knew that picture didn’t look right.
Now, to the topic at hand:
“You got”?
Hate to tell you, but it's “we got”. Either “we got” Obama or “we got” Romney.
I Voted for Newt and he lost. More people Voted for Romney than anyone else in the Republican Primary. Ding, ding, ding, “we got” the guy that is running against the wanna be Dictator with nothing to lose. End of story.
Addressing the “leftward drift” in the GOP is what the Primary process is all about. Some Tea Party Folks won, some RINOS won and some Conservatives won. The Team has been assembled and we move on to the General Election.
Do you have a remedy for the “leftward drift” problem the GOP is facing? I only see one based on your Post, Vote for Obama. That will show those RINO SOB’s who's the Boss. /s
There will be no “Conservative groundswell” in 2016, another four years of Obama will insure that Conservatism won't see the light of day for generations to come. A couple of Wise Latinas or Liberals with “questionable sexuality” will seal the deal when they populate the Supreme Court. Add to that Obama’s Lower Court Appointments and you can kiss away the “Nation of Laws, not Men” argument for good.
Now you either Vote Republican top to bottom on the ticket, or you end up supporting the Democrat Candidate opposing them. We aren't building Space Shuttles here.
Just a comment or two about the Missouri situation since I mistakenly brought it into this Thread:
AKIN, being the selfish SOB that he has shown himself to be, has done nothing to further his cause or assist Conservatives and the Republican Party in attempting to rout the Democrat Overlords that are running the Country.
He is not some sort a truth talking Folk Hero, he is an egotist in Conservative clothing and he has given our Enemies the diversion they needed to influence the ignorant masses back into their corner.
That's my take. While we disagree, as a fellow FReeper I respect your take on the events of the day. All will be made perfectly clear come November. Wish us luck, I do.
Thank you for your eloquence.
I like the military analogy. “Fight the battle with the army you have...” My take is that we are much, MUCH farther down the road than almost all of us realize and that fighting the battle with the GOP is a mistake we can’t afford to make. It ain’t “our” army. We had better realize, and soon, we need to initiate a winning “asymmetrical” battle plan. IMHO anyone who believes we still have an opportnity to “pull this out” by voting is hallucinating.
I can’t say that I disagree.
The phrase “We live in interesting times” comes to mind.
Maybe the phrase “Hope for the best but expect the worst” is more appropriate.
