close, do I know you?
Nothing is more certain than that a general profligacy and corruption of manners make a people ripe for destruction. A good form of government may hold the rotten materials together for some time, but beyond a certain pitch, even the best constitution will be ineffectual, and slavery must ensue.
John Witherspoon, The Dominion of Providence Over the Passions of Men, 1776
We’re reaching that point in time. IMHO
I found it. Listen to Bill Clinton. Also look at 79.

Thanks for the support, will you be my sponsor!
My party of conservatives would not nominate a NARAL supporting abortionist loving, radical feminist loving gay agenda supporting, gun grabbing, illegal alien welfare sanctioning NY liberal.
I refuse to vote for that in any election. Primary, General, whatever. That's Rudy toot, McCain, and I have separate reasons on Romney, the loser (he will not fight).
I am with you, Jim.
He knew-but Judas hadn’t done it yet. And it had to be done to complete God’s Plan.
If you want to face God someday knowing you voted for a man who pushed perversion at every possible point, that’s up to you. I won’t do it.
Absolutely its EVie, and I'm not wrong. There are others. If you're really so perceptually challenged I'll FReepmail you with a few of 'em.
Hey boss, I'm with you on RG, thats another reason why the phony Archie Bunkers should be exposed. Get a wee bit a credibility back and maybe we can be a wee bit of power back and maybe we can influence the primary a wee bit.
But I have come to expect such low blows from people on this thread who don't agree with me.
Apparently the lack of ability to express opinions without personal slams is the style du jour.
Congratulations on being up to snuff in that regard.
When not trashing Reagan’s legacy or posting unsubstatiated accusations against more conservative candidates, the Giuliani supporters loved to invoke Reagan’s 11th commandment. Of course, Reagan himself ran against a sitting Republican president that he believed to be too liberal in 1976, but evidently it’s too difficult to make the connecton between Reagan’s actions then and the actions of those who oppose Giuliani now.
I don’t think so. Fight on!
Yeah, sure, whatever ...
Yes, and you can be mine, kinda like a weight watchers thingy. Don’t they support their members who are trying to lose weight? AA does. Just curious. ;-)
EV is a DUer? That’s a laugh.
Yep. See my 5358.
“Yeah, sure, whatever ...”
Typical.
Thank you, Cyber Liberty!!
It’s just like DU tactics - come here, fight for conservative principles, and try to knock the most liberal republican out of the GOP race.
Makes perfect sense to me!!
The tortured logic that some people have to go through to defend Rudy is mind boggling.
“We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.” —Ronald Reagan
“A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.”
— Ronald Reagan, March 1, 1975
“Let us lay to rest, once and for all, the myth of a small group of ideological purists trying to capture a majority.
Replace it with the reality of a majority trying to assert
its rights against the tyranny of powerful academics, fashionable left-revolutionaries, some economic illiterates who happen to hold elective office and the social engineers who dominate the dialogue and set the format in political and social affairs.
If there is any ideological fanaticism in American political life, it is to be found among the enemies of freedom on the left or right — those who would sacrifice principle to theory, those who worship only the god of political, social and economic abstractions, ignoring the realities of everyday life. They are not conservatives.”
