I tried to alert him to that in post 319, but he doesn’t even read our posts I don’t think.

Post 319 “Are you going to go to that Human Events link and actually read it? Or keep not reading it, like you do my posts? Mitt Romney DOES NOT HAVE ANY ACU RATING.”

We shall see whether you and the other Romney pom pom girls can remember why you voted for Romney when the despicable POS starts nominating John Paul Stevens think alikes to our federal courts and (God forbid) SCOTUS and the GOP Senate rubber stamps them because they are "our" nominees, IF Myth is elected in the first place which is a verrrrry big IF.

It is truly astounding, we are living through a Night of the Living Dead among those who CLAIM to be conservatives but are willing to cheerlead the likes of Romney. Of course, Mittler was, at best, the 47th choice of each every one of them and they have just reluctantly united to insult anyone who retains conservative and Judaeo-Christian principles and therefore understands the need to resist BOTH Romney and Obozo. I'm awaiting a news story in which Ann Romney explains that Myth was her 15th choice for POTUS nomination ut that she has just forced to be realistic.

May God bless you and yours!

The article I posted was indeed from Gary Bauer:
a little about him:

Bauer describes himself as pro-life. He is in support of repealing laws that allow abortion. He advocates for the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade as the first step in the pro-life cause.[7] He wants to cut funding for Planned Parenthood and do away with any U.S. aid for organizations that provide or advise abortions. Bauer also says that he would counsel raped family members against abortion.[8] He points to the Constitution and the Christian view of human life as reasons for not supporting euthanasia, stating that, “all people have immeasurable value because they have been created in the image and likeness of God.” He is a supporter of the death penalty for death row inmates.[9] Bauer opposes cloning and embryonic stem cell research, but supports adult stem cell research. He supports a Constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, and prefers abstinence programs to comprehensive sex education programs. Bauer wants to remove from the tax code all economic disincentives to marry.[9]
On foreign policy issues, Bauer supports strong ties with Israel, would not trade with China until the country improves its human rights record, and supported full funding for the Iraq War. Bauer believes that America should advance and protect freedom worldwide and “bring the message of freedom to the Arab world”.[8]
Bauer supports enforcing all laws against illegal immigration and that all immigrants should learn English and U.S. traditions.[8]
On economic issues, Bauer supports income tax cuts and decreased regulation of small businesses. He has stated that corporations should serve the U.S. as well as their shareholders, and has occasionally been critical of the World Trade Organization.

So if Bauer is backing Romney can you really blame anyone else for backing him?

I think you guys who continue to hate Romney are out in left field and the parade has moved on

BlackElk:

IF Romney fails to prevent 0bama from obtaining a second term, I sincerely hope that you and the rest of your ABR zombie-posse will all get window seats on the FEMA buses and trains when you are arrested as 'security threats' to the new OPE (0bama Progressive Era), and that you will take comfort in the knowledge that you remained pure and unsoiled by refusing to vote against 0bama.

Oh wait, you and the likes of Ansel12 won't be arrested at all, because just like the little Quisling-followers in France during World War II, you will swear allegiance as a good citizen to the Kenyan Klown, and happily provide the names of everyone you know who voted for Romney & Ryan, because they too, must be 'security risks'.

0bama-Biden thanks you for your loyalty and your support.

"Forward, BlackElk, Forward!"

***Romney is the Quisling here. He is the traitor to conservatism, pretending to be one when he aint one. No matter who wins in the next election, conservatism loses. Who else could get ripping at each other? That’s the plan, straight from the GOP-E, and you’re following it nicely.

Is that a fact?

Q - What do you, Ansel12 and BlackElk NOT have in common with Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Rick Perry and Paul Ryan?

A - THEY recognize that removing 0bama from office is the highest priority in November and they are supporting the ticket of Romney & Ryan.

You want another four years of that Kenyan Communist destroying America? Sure, go ahead and tell us that Romney is as bad or worse than 0bama is. Palin, Gingrich, Santorum, Cain, Perry and Ryan are all traitors and fools, right?

C'mon out and condemn them too, man up and say it.

If the GOPe and the tea party seem to have coalesced around Romney-Ryan, and THEY HAVE, what does this say about the group of purists that continue to rant and rave against the ticket?

I’ll tell you what it says, it says that in a contest between their conservative principles and the continued survival of America, principles always come first.

That will make a fine epitaph on our Nation’s tombstone after 0bama finishes the job he started in January 2008.

Another fine FReeper said back in the beginning of this thread, “survival trumps ideology” but apparently not for those who have a death wish.

To: mkjessup

it also infers that those you named in your post—Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Rick Perry and Paul Ryan— have no principles, since they are supporting this ticket as the country’s only means of survival.

——principles always come first.——

There is another possible take. That is pride.

The restatement is that pride in principle always comes in first. The pride trumps reason to the point it can not be transcended without total loss of face.

The inability to overcome pride in belief transcends the threat, the major genuine threat to being conservative and of America that is Obama.

***BUMP***

Those are damn wise words Bert and deserve re-posting on a regular basis, you are absolutely right.

Deciding to support the Romney-Ryan ticket was not an easy thing for me to do, but it was the right thing to do because I love my Country first and will not stand by and condemn her to another 4 years of 0bama. That I cannot and will not do.

continued survival of America, . . .

our Nation’s tombstone . . .

a death wish.

- - - - - - -

Without Mitt Romney to protect us, our nation will die?!

Let me make a prediction. After Romney is rejected in November, we will have another election in 2016 and that, too, will be the most important election in your lifetime. Let's hope that you can find a suitable and worthy candidate to vote for in 2016.

Tau my FRiend, I have no doubt that you are a patriot, however I cannot in good conscience gamble the future of my Nation upon your prediction, no matter how sure you may be about it.

Here is my prediction: if 0bama is re-elected, have your bags packed to either head for the hills as the 0bamunist shock troops begin ‘stage 2’ without any fear of restraint or inhibition, OR if you are unlucky, you may be allowed to take some of those bags with you as you board the FEMA trains or buses for your new home in a federal internment camp for ‘security risks’.

Oh, that could never happen here in the United States! /sarcasm off

Your writing here is verbatim how I feel about the whole situation. Let me add this. I am looking at this election as if the very survival of the United States is at stake, because in all likelihood, it is. If Obama is elected, the only thing that might save us is a civil war, or at the very least, the majority of American states refuse to recognize Obama as POTUS, and blow him off. Obama intends to destroy our entire economy, and save for a few question marks, I know how he intends to do it. No Boehner, or McConnell flunky will stop him, as they have already proven that they are cowards.
Obama intends to destroy our military. ( I had breakfast with a high ranking Air Force friend yesterday, and he not only believes Obama will destroy our military, he said it has been profoundly damaged already).
Look, I am a right wing conservative, and proud of it. I did not vote for W the second time, and I did not vote for scumbag, traitorous McCain either. This time, (very) sad to say, I don’t have that luxury. I could post here for an hour about all the damage Obama has already done,(and intends to do in the future) and I would barely scratch the surface. In summary, with Romney, we have a chance to survive. With Obama, we have NO chance, save for some form of civil war.

i have been told by that cadre not to vote based on fear. I’m not cowering, i am looking at two crystal clear options and choosing the MOST PRAGMATIC of the two with a view to saving our nation from destruction. One has to assume from their posture that they welcome the destruction and look forward to a rebuilding. Sorry, i cannot sit by and vote for that destruction. My kids are 18, 20 and 23. THEY will not sit and vote for that destruction either.

Hello SJB, my old FRiend!

I had been a bit concerned over having not heard from you but figured you had been on travel or otherwise occupied but I am gratified to read your words here today, and you are a patriot’s patriot, and I am honored to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, and proud that you are my friend and FRiend.

The Lord be with you SJB, the Lord be with us all.

Best,

Mark :)

” So in closing, I thank you for starting the thread and the interesting discussion that followed. I’ve been a member of this Free Republic for fifteen years and I’ve been supporting it with $30 a month for most of this time. I’d hate to have those 15 years pissed away on account of a small cadre of ABR people who seem to feel that anybody voting for Mitt Romney is some kind of turncoat, so I’m not going to engage them and add to the infighting that is going on. But I’m not going to stay in the shadows either. I am voting the Romney/Ryan ticket in November and then I’m voting Tea Party conservative all the way downticket. “

Well stated.

” I have not the slightest doubt that 0Bama is working fulltime/overtime to IMPLODE the American system from within. Just as his mentors Cloward and Pivins instructed him, using the “playbook” of Saul Alinsky to get that result “done.”

His White House is a cesspool of moral depravity. “

EXACTLY!!!!
