Whatever happened to free association?

Free Association is alive and well...

As long as it is with the right people and the liberals approve!

Example: It is OK to freely associate with a criminal who molests little boys or girls in an effort to understand their problem.

Example: It is not Ok to Freely Associate with a boy scout troop who will not allow a Homosexual man as their scout leader because they are intolerant!

(Sarcasm) See how clear it all is (/Sarcasm)

"It would have to be a pretty important reason . . . someone who is, for instance, a felon, or Mafia person, or drug peddler."

Glad to see they put abortionists in the same group.

[FITZ]

I suppose they'll try to make abortionists a protected minority and force you to include some at any party you might want to have. He should never have had kids, it's very cruel to force your kids to accept that you kill babies for a living.

[secondamendmentkid]

Let's see, aren't these the same type of people who are trying to get the Boy Scouts banned from participation in anything and everything. Didn't the Supreme Court affirm their rights too?

What goes around comes around Pablo. Join the ACLU Private Club and have your kids go swimming in their slime pool.

Scalia is my favorite,I'm just stating a fact that the Supreme Court has got involved. The supreme Court also decided Dred Scott and Plesy v. Feurgeson

[1 FELLOW FREEPER]

Absolutely.

[Arthur McGowan]

Oh, well. Since this is Rhode Island, abortionist Rodriguez can run for Congress, and count on the votes of 90% of the Catholics.

I can see this as a matter for SCOTUS if this guy was getting aced out of business or out of town, but as for forcing you to hang with people you don't like. It just isn't any of their damn business!

I'm extremely surprised anyone at FreeRepublic would even think about coming to Falwell's defense

The reason is simple: we know the MO of the left. The left follows the dictate found in Mein Kampf: "Make all your enemies one."

Falwell is most unappealing on TV. Which is why Larry King and Geraldo have him on every chance they get. The left wants to, and has been somewhat sucessful, in making Falwell the face of conservatism. Doesn't matter that Falwell has zero real political power, that few of us even know of anyone who likes him, to much of the general public, Falwell is us. Go to any left wing web site and you will hear them prattle endlessly about Jerry Falwell type conservatives. Very effective tactic as it puts us on the defensive; we have to explain we are not like Jerry Falwell. So when liberals equate Falwell with the taliban, they are equating us, in much of the public mind, with the Taliban. That is why this analog must be fought (aside from the fact that it is untrue).

Pablo Rodriguez, a prominent Rhode Island doctor and one of the most influential Latinos in the state, has twice been denied admission to the Warwick Country Club. He and several club members say the rejection centers on one point: his visible role as one of the few doctors in Rhode Island who perform abortions.

Well, RI a liberal state but you gotta give the Rhodies some credit here.

[VA Advogado]

What's the point of having a club, if you can't keep someone out?

I refuse to belong to ANY club that would have me as a member.

[Khepera]

Reject these murders from the club of man. Lets make abortion illegal and try the doctors for murder.

[Nitro]

I totally agree, see post #25 this thread!

Really? – member since November 14, 2001?

” I'm extremely surprisedanyone at FreeRepublic would even think about coming to Falwell's defense...remember, he is no better than the handwringers who claimed it's America's fault the 9-11 happened”

Listen, you flaming bigot, Falwell did not claim that 9/11 was America’s fault; unlike Bill Clinton who blamed it on America’s history of slavery and abuse of Indians.

Falwell is a Christian who believes in the Bible. He has read the Bible, even the passages where God allows bad things to happen to the Israelites when they sin. He believes that abortion, homosexuality, pederasty and the anti-Christian jihad conducted by the ACLU does not make God very happy.

You may not agree with Falwell’s view of God or his interpretation of scripture, but to equate his vision of Christianity with the version of Islam as practiced by the Taliban is obscene. I classify people who do this as Christian haters. If you don’t like it here, don’t let the door hit you in the ass when you leave.

You tell them!

[victim soul]

"because his wife wants his (living)children to use the pool!! boo hoo HAHAHAHA!

[Teacher317]

"I know I'm a Catholic, ... The Supreme Court has said that abortion is legal, and we should all follow the Supreme Court and not our particular religious convictions."

Great thinkin', there, Tex! We should do what the Supreme Court says, rather than follow religious guidelines. He forgets that we were founded upon the principles of FReedom of religion, and that SCOTUS can't tell us what convictions to follow. He's a shining example of what sheeple have become.

[victim soul]

FYI the number is closer to 43,000,000 now.(and remember the numbers are only collected by the CDC by those who voluntarily report them.)

[LarryLied]

Tex there seems to be of the liberal mindset which says that anything which is legal is mandatory.

[victim soul]

Maybe someone can link us to the address of the Warwick Country Club and so we can write them a thank you letter.

Then copy this story and send it to The National Conference of Catholic Bishops and ask them to be as dicriminatory in their "freedom of association" as this golf community!!
