Well, folks, it happens every four years or so. The presidential election cycle really brings out the RINOS. I have to state and restate FR's positions more and more frequently, because the true blue RINO types simply cannot stand that a conservative site will not support a gun grabbing, abortionist, homosexualist, big government statist.
Last cycle it was Rudy McRomney. Boy, did we ever catch hell for not supporting the big RINOs of the day. Hundreds of true blue RINO supporters fled grassroots conservative FR in disgust when they couldn't get their way and called us every name in the book on the way out, especially, the Rudy cabal.
Where did it get them? The abortionist/homosexualist Rudy didn't get the nomination. We on FR finally decided to support McCain after he was the last RINO standing and he selected Palin as his running mate, but that will not happen this time. And McCain proved not up to the task anyway. He was far too undependable to make it as a conservative, but he was at least pro-life and pro-family and a war hero and that's why I finally relented and gave my reluctant no other choice endorsement.
But Myth Romney is without a doubt the most leftist, flip-flopping, lying, two-faced politician ever to be nominated by the Republicans. We have the most leftist Democrat ever sitting in the White House which ANY Republican should be able to defeat in a Reaganesque landslide, but in their infinite RINO wisdom, the GOPe pushes the most leftist Republican ever.
Why, oh, why would the GOPe risk it all by pushing for and giving the nomination to a man with Romney's abortionist, homosexualist, gun grabbing, big government statist Keynesian record? Do they have a death wish or are they simply trying to move the goal posts even further to the left? Romney is the grandpappy of ObamaCare for crying out loud. He made ObamaCare possible. ObamaCare gave birth to the grassroots tea party movement. The GOPe has done nothing but torpedo the tea party conservatives when they should have embraced us. Sarah Palin was the best thing to happen for the Republicans party since Reagan and the tea party the best thing in a century. Why would they try to kill us off?
We can take a clue from the Rudy McRomney cabal that left FR last time. They exclaimed on the way out that, "The conservatives have held their boot to the GOP's neck for far too long. Never again will guns, abortion, and the gay agenda be important issues for Republicans."
And now the abortionist/homosexualist/shamnesty Rudy McRomney cabal and the anti Palin RINO crowd have teamed up to come after FR again. They couldn't hack it with their wideawakes wankers for Rudy site or their trueblue RINOs for Romney site, so they are now posting their current anti-FR screeds on facebook and on any blog site they possibly can.
Hell hath no fury like a RINO scorned.
One of the RINO's we're talking about is our old friend Luis Gonzalez. He was a big Rudy pusher and would relentlessly trash any conservative who objected. We eventually had to invite him to leave FR and go with the wankers for Rudy. But it turns out he had a sleeper account on FR called "Lancelot Jones."
He recently registered a mole account on FR called "The Duke of Pearls" where he attempted to post the anti-FR screed pasted below. I pulled it and banned his account(s), but it is the one he's now plastering all over the net aided and abetted by his pal and anti-Palin RINO troll, EveningStar.
By the way, it's telling that Gonzalez in his Lancelot Jones mole persona posted the following quips to FR just a couple of days ago:
"If you can't rely on something at the precise moment that you need it the most, because that thing that you need to rely on is only reliable when the circumstances suit it, then get rid of it."
"If the GOP realizes that "purists" will only supprt the GOP when the Party's candidates meet their test, then it may be best to not count on them at all."
"The lesson that the GOP will probably learn from your scenario, is that it needs to jettison purists once and for all."
So, I guess my pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-gun, pro-liberty constitutional stance makes me a "purist" who must be hated and persecuted and run off the net even though my positions on these causes are exactly the same as the official Republican party platform. Very strange.
Here's Gonzalez' latest anti-FR screed that he's trying to make go viral:
Once, a long time ago, if you were an individual seeking reasonable and intelligent political discourse in the Internet, from a right-wing perspective, there were few places as prominent and respected as Jim Robinson’s freerepublic.com. The site counted among its members such luminaries as Tony Snow, Barbara Olsen, and Andrew Breitbar; even Robert Bork was rumored to post in FR.
The site’s users, known as FReepers, were considerable in number, dedicated, and passionate, and Jim Robinson’s conservative brigades were able to launch either spontaneous roadside rallies, or organized nation-wide protests from Texas, to Florida, to Georgia, to Washington DC itself.
- It was a FReeper that ended Dan Rather’s career.
- It was a FReeper that coined the term Sore/Loserman during the Bush/Gore recount wars.
- It was a FReeper that posted the first known report of trouble with the Columbia, as it disintegrated over Texas and Louisiana on re-entry.
- It was a FReeper that photo-shopped the infamous image of John Kerry standing side-by-side with Jane Fonda in an anti Vietnam war rally.
Those were the Golden Days of Free Republic, but the site shines no longer. Mr. Robinson fails to realize that it was individual members of his forum that brought gravitas to the forum, and not the other way around. To be fair, Robinson created what could very well be the best softweare of its kind, but it was the massive interchange of ideas between members, all driven by the e-wave of the late 20th Century, and the animosity toward the Clinton administration that brought the forum into the spotlight.
Alas, Mr. Robinson convinced himself that the message was the medium, when it was the messengers that raised the medium to glory.
Internet blogs are buzzing with reports of a massive crack up in FR, with anti-Romney sentiment standing toe-to-toe with open anti-Mormon bias, FReepers are abandoning Jim Robinson’s burning ship in droves, populating sites like www.gopbriefingroom.com to discuss the chaotic status of Free Republic.
In facebook, exiled FReepers stand amazed at the realization that Free Republic and Daily KOS, bitter Internet blog political ideology enemies, are actually supporting the same candidate for the Presidency this cycle, as FReepers openly support the idea if an Obama win, as such a victory will “teach the GOP a lesson”.
This post from FReeper “Leep”
"Crash and burn America. Hopefully, we can rebuild in 10 or 20 or 50 years…?" The signs are visible to even the naked eye.
Check this statement by the site’s founder, Jim Robinson, just a few nights ago:
“Lastly, we’re having a bit of changeover on our moderator staff. At least two moderators resigned this afternoon after I flatly refused to rein in a so-called anti-Mormon “bigot” on FR.” In today’s Free Republic, no one will be critical of anti-Mormon statements. Jim Robinson once again:
“This website considers the Mormon religion as false doctrine. Period.” It’s nearly impossible to cross the line on criticism of Mitt Romney’s Mormonism at a site where the proprietor dismisses the entire religion as a “false doctrine”.
Robinson, in his refusal to support the GOP ticket seems to understand that he has become a minority within a minority, within a diminishing number of supporters, as he says:
"I doubt there are 10% of the FReepers in agreement with me on this." Ten percent of a rapidly diminishing number of posting members could spell financial troubles for Robinson, as some of the site’s most steadfast financial supporters quietly melt into the night.
Then again, even as Free Republic fades into irrelevance, Robinson’s legacy lives on in an unintended cottage industry of forums offering refuge to FReepers wishing to distance themselves from Robinson.
As one of the members of The Briefing Room quipped recently:
"The FR meltdown is good for business, people are looking for a sanctuary, and a place where sanity still reigns. Our membership rolls are increasing hourly, and they all come to ask the same question…”what in the world happened to Free Republic?”
Sad thing, that what was once such a great notion will crumble and fall under the weight of such a negative and destructive actions, and that in the end, the great things accomplished by the many, will be dragged down into the mud by the few.
1. 0kaka, as the puppet for his handlers, is enacting a "soft" commie/muzzie/fag revolution. All those who should be doing something to stop him appear to have become eunuchs. After the election, if he is still in the WH, it will not stay "soft".
2. Rombag although UTTERLY LOATHESOME is not a muzzie or a commie.
3. He chose Ryan and not someone as utterly loathesome as himself. Theoretically Ryan could end up as Pres, such things can happen.
If 0kaka is elected, there will be absolutely massive bloodshed and violence as he takes off any semblence of mask and opens the re-education camps, gulags, re-enacts the starving of the Kulaks, a new version of the Rwanda massaccre, the Bataan Death March, death camps, and so on.
Therefore, I very reluctantly plan to vote for Ryan/Rombag. I fully understand why people can't stand to, I was among their number until just a few days ago. 0kaka's rise to the presidency was planned by the worst combination of racists, muzzies and commies for a long time. It is the Revolution they've wanted since the 60s if not earlier.
I am trying to save Fr here! Yes I own Gopbriefingroom.com,
***That explains a lot.
I wonder what your posts would read like if you had more bran in your diet.
, My God doesn’t like hate!!! That is what i see here form so called Christians!
***When Jesus confronted the false teachers of His day, he called them ‘vipers’ and ‘Sons of the Devil’. You would characterize that as hate.
You have always sounded like an ass, I see nothing has changed.. You people need to know,, God doesn’t just listen to you you homo’a
***Your post sounds like hatred to me
I don’t often say this, but IBTZ.

I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee; | I’m goin’ to Free Republic my true love for to see. | It rained all night the day you left, | the weather it was dry; | The sun so hot you froze to death, | Obama don’t you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I come from Minnesota, with my laptop on my knee.
I had a dream the other night, | When everything was still; | I thought I saw Obama dear, | A-coming for The Hill. | The smearing lie was in Duluth, | The croc tear in his eye, | Said I, I’m coming for the truth | Obama don’t you lie. | | Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me; | I’m off to Free Republic, | with my laptop on my knee.
I fight in my pajamas, | It’s plain for all to see. | I aim to be the next Buckhead; | The media all hate me. | I fell in love with Sarah | When my sister bit a moose. | The Guvnor’s family ate it up | And then they set it loose. | | Oh!

To use your metaphor, it’s more like coke or cyanide.
***That’s not using his metaphor, it’s changing it dramatically. To use your metaphor (the way you used his) it’s more like cyanide or arsenic. Arguing that the taste of bitter almonds is better for the country is ridiculous.
Theoretically Ryan could end up as Pres, such things can happen.
***A point in Romney’s favor, but one that isn’t really discussed in polite circles.
[giggles] You made me giggle! Four or five times!! ;-)
>>That’s how I see it as well. But such a plan overwhelms me. How would you go about implementing such a plan? In the meantime I seek God’s hand in getting His people to return to Him. if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2Chronicles7:14
I agree with you completely. Splitting the US is a monumental task. Possibly harder than creating it in the first place because Left-Wing Progressives and Right-Wing Progressives and Constitutionalists all live on the same soil. How would be work out the logistics of moving people around until we all had our own patch of ground to call home?
So, 2Chronicles 7:14 is all we have left. Life in the United States will have to get a lot worse before we give up our idols and turn back to the one true God. I believe that Obama’s master knows this and he will direct his servants to keep the comfort level just high enough to insure that we keep chasing after those idols.
They’re both lying, babykilling statists. No matter who wins in November, conservatism loses.
Maybe God is calling us to be more focused on our citizenship in His kingdom rather than our citizenship here. We are now an occupied country and are in the minority. We can learn from other christians who have had to endure antichristian governments and societies. It just breaks my heart to be saying this about the USA.
I haven’t been feeling very polite lately, I will admit.
Thankfully, he survived, has circulation issues, but is alive and in pretty good health, more than 20 years later, and has grandchildren now.
Sometimes risks have to be taken in order to save the body - so I look at voting for Ryan/Rombag like that. Gives us a chance to stay alive and deal with the rest of the rot. Analogy isn't perfect, but I'd rather buy some time and try to get back to a Constitutional government with our freedoms and rights protected. 4 more years of 0kaka will guarantee bloodshed and huge loss of life, IMHO.
Just someone else not paying attention to the nanny state debates that have been going on here for years.
My position on the nanny state has been out front from my sign up - that I why I have been here all these years.
I dealt with another freeper who used a very similar personal analogy. A better analogy is that there are 2 cars — one of them a dragster and the other a Ford Pinto. Both are faced towards the cliff. You’re invited into either car. The better choice is not to get into the car. To claim that the Pinto is slower to go over the cliff and you can reason with the driver on the way down is bogus.
I HAVE to vote 0kaka OUT.
If there was a revolt at the convention and someone else took Romney's place, there would be no one happier than me. (well, we'd all be happy.)
But there is no way to not be in one of the two cars.
***Sure there is. You don’t get in. No one forces you to vote FOR a despiccable candidate. There is no lever in the voting booth for saying, “I vote AGAINST that guy”.
the vile GOP is forcing this upon us
***Like Reagan said when he no longer had common cause with the democratic party, they left him, he wasn’t leaving them.
How far down the pit of hell does the GOP need to go before you’ll say, “no thanks”? For principled pro-life conservatives, the GOP has gone way too far already.
Ask Finny — does he feel proud about voting for a RINO when he denigrated McClintock and put in for Schwarzenegger? RINOs do more damage to conservatism than democrats do.
I lived in Santa Barbara a few years back. Our conservative congressman did a pretty good job. Along came this republican dude with lots of money, named Huffington. he spent more on this congressional primary race than any other in history. He unseated the congressman. When the time came to vote, I could not pull the lever for this POS and wrote in the former congressman. Straight Republican ticket. Years later, Huffington admitted to being gay, his wife divorced him and started Huffington Post, and do-nothing congressman Huffington basically did more damage to conservatism than any democrat ever could. The seat has been firmly in the hands of a librul ever since. Writing in the conservative republican over that POS was the honorable thing to do.
