The Free Republic can be an inspirational focus for conservative views and values. It can also be a soapbox for nasty little people who claim some expertise, some insight that only they themselves have. Sola Veritas is one of those little people and makes things even worse by alternating between calling the rest of us “cowards” and running under Jim Robinson’s coattails. This kind of frenetic divisiveness is exactly what Team Obama wants from us and Sola Veritas is doing his best to give us four more years of leftist/homo/antiAmerican insanity. Sola Veritas is an embarrassment but I am sure we’ll hear more from him. We’re the only audience he’s got.
“Not one American voter was forced by the “establishment” or anyone else to vote for Mitt Romney in the primaries.”
I beg to differ. The Republican primaries were rife with Romney’s political manipulation. You may find that acceptable, but I certainly don’t.
Well, then how did the "establishment" fail to force me to vote for Mitt Romney on Super Tuesday? I just waltzed right into my local precinct and voted for Newt Gingrich. Somehow the all-powerful GOP cabal failed to thwart me!
In retrospect - and given the field that actually chose to run - I now believe it's a good thing that Mitt Romney won the nomination. Obama's slime machine would have already destroyed Newt Gingrich or Herman Cain by now. What confounds the Dems now is that Romney is so squeaky clean. And the GOP ticket will feature two turnaround specialists when that's exactly what is needed. Once again, it appears that Providence foresaw what I did not...
Most people who would vote for a third party this time out should have their sanity questioned.
Fine enjoy helping Zero win again.
You “purer-than-thou” absolutists are gonna be the death of the United States of America as we know it.
This has been a de facto two-party nation since its founding.
Ever wonder why?
[Obama] “is attacking the constitution must be countered by constitutional methods of redress. Congress needs to act...don’t let them get away with NOT acting..”
I agree, but with Dirty Harry Reid controlling the Senate and Obama ruling by extra-constitutional fiat [amnesty for young illegals, INS not deporting illegals and AG Holder keeping us from voter ID], I am not sure the constitution gives us redress, other than getting out Obama by electing Romney. The House is in GOP hands but can’t act without the Senate on its side, plus Boehner is too soft to push the House to act. We need to elect more GOP senators and house members who are real conservatives.
It starts at the local level as politics is all local. Here in Wisconsin we elected Gov. Walker, a real conservative, and defended him through a nasty recall effort. He is in for sure now. I was active in the anti recall, went to Tea Party rallies and often email my House [Sensenbrenner]and Senate [Ron Johnson]persons. I give to my county and state GOP. I don’t give to the RNC as it is too soft on liberalism. If we don’t get our Obama and capture the Senate, I wonder if constitutional efforts will work. I am careful on how I express opinions anywhere as the government is making a lot of lists of who and what it considers threats. Just being a middle aged, white Christian seems to be enough for the left to call you a bad guy [despite always paying taxes, raising honest kids and being a model citizen].
There are none ~ but there are certainly plenty of leftleaning/anti Conservative Mittbots around.
The Convention hasn't even happened and here we are with you laying to with the big gun that I'm crazy ~ let me tell you, someone who agrees with me that much is just as crazy Fur Shur.
Now, about the thread that got deleted ~ you do know that the route to the trial is progressing along the lines I initially suggested. The guy's lawyers examined the situation from every direction, and the only way to go is to plead self-defense.
Going back further, because I recall you getting involved in it, I and a lawyer were the ONLY Freepers who agreed that the USSC would toss out a lot of stuff concerning the Jefferson case and the Justice Department would end up having to build a case the normal way WITHOUT the stuff they took from his office ~ including the money from the freezer compartment.
Do you know what the pressure is like when you know you are right and literally everybody else is wrong (but one other guy)?
I think that just a sample of the way i stick to truth, right and the American way that gives me the C.O. Jones force field to withstand the garbage tossed at me on a daily basis by the Mittbots and those they've already crushed under their dainty demi-pointe shoes.
It ain't over 'til it's over, and Romney started this one.
