Woo hoo!! Let's keep her going!! [FReepathon thread XV]

This FReepathon thread is for FReepers who believe in and support our pro-life, pro-family, pro-limited government conservative causes, enjoy reading and participating on FR, think it's a worthwhile endeavor and would like to help us keep it going.

I retired the previous thread as it was being used by posters who obviously do not agree with our purposes here and or no longer enjoy participating on FR or no longer believe it is worthwhile. Hopefully, they'll respect us enough to stay off this thread. If they no longer enjoy FR, no longer respect us, etc, then perhaps they should consider leaving. I'm certainly not asking them to donate, but I do expect them not to be disruptive to our purposes here.

We are the resistance!! And have been since inception in 1996. We are traditional pro-life, small government, strong defense American conservatives and will accept nothing less. We defend our God, defend our Liberty, defend our constitution and defend our founding principles.

We believe this nation was founded on the principle that all men are created equal by God and endowed with unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Our current government has stretched itself way beyond its constitutional limits, granted itself powers not enumerated for it and which were reserved to the states and the people, has abused and trampled on the rights of the people and otherwise has made itself destructive to the founding principles.

Government derives its just powers at the consent of the government. We do not grant our consent to oppressive government or to government officials who do not defend the constitution, life and liberty!!

We believe the federal government should be altered by removing all functions and powers it has granted to itself which are not enumerated to it by the constitution and all such functions and powers returned to the states and the people per the tenth amendment. And we believe that "law" unconstitutionally enacted, upheld and sustained by judicial fiat, ie, such as Roe v Wade be immediately overturned, rescinded, stricken, abolished, etc, and the principle of unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness be fully restored.

If this sounds simplistic, well it is. The founding principles are straight forward. Our Declaration, Constitution and Bill of Rights are clear. Words have meanings. We should not allow lawyers, judges, power hungry politicians, greedy special interests, leftist ideologues, etc, to twist the clear meanings and principles of liberty to suit their tyrannical purposes.

The two major political parties are hell bent and riding hard to strengthen their grasp on unconstitutional power. The GOP-e can hardly wait to strip the pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-liberty, pro-borders planks from its platform. Romney is their ticket to get it done. If staunch pro-life, pro-liberty conservatives can be turned, then these principles are no longer a serious threat to the usurpers.

If you believe in resisting the usurpers, fighting tyranny and restoring Liberty as I do, then please keep the donations and checks coming in. And turn out in November and vote your conscience. Vote straight conservative. We need tea party conservatives voted into as many local state and federal offices as humanly possible. The Republic you save may be your own!!

As a long-time FReeper and a monthly contributor I feel compelled to make my first suggestion to improve this site. ;-)

Since the excerpting and even no link rules are so important why can you not have a link or two to the current posting rules ON THE POSTING page?

I have actually made this suggestion before without result. It is again a simple, trivial addition that I think woulod make it easier for all, including the mods.

$20 says you ignore this suggestion too (redeemable during current FReepathon).

Newbies and even old-timers don’t actually post articles that often so if the rules were easily available at Post time I think it could make the mods job easier and avoid posts from sites-that-cannot-be-named. FWIW. ;-)

Thank you very much, onyx!!
