FR is and will always remain pro-God, pro-family, pro-America. Get that right and the rest of conservatism takes care of itself.

Preach it, darlin’.
I'll bump that one.
Amen.

Succinct and to the point.
Thanks for all you do.
Yes! Well said and succinct.
Trouble is, those qualities are not de facto solely conservative. Many of the unionized Democrat types are all of those things. Those folks are also pro-union, pro-welfare state, and pro-choice. In other words, Donald Trump's cross-over voters, and Donald Trump himself until he decided to change his stripes to run as a Republican.
And that's the real tragedy on FR - someone only slightly more conservative than Bill Clinton is being touted as a viable candidate and the folks doing it haven't been banned to Democrat Underground. Instead, folks are being told to vote the party come November. When Trump loses to Hillary, we'll then be blamed for it.
Sad. Sadder still, there's someone passionate about the Constitution running, someone we all would have been obscenely happy to vote for in 2012. But we get "Lyin' Ted" and the like, as the wolf in sheep's clothing talks about the wall that he'll never build. Pray for the nation.
Wait, can I still talk about praying for the nation? Lot's of FReepers seem to be spreading hate for Christian beliefs of late - the pro-God thing might need a refresher.
I am so in agreement with Jim.
“FR is and will always remain pro-God, pro-family, pro-America. Get that right and the rest of conservatism takes care of itself.”
The issue is what is “ conservatism”. I see no conservatism in TPP, Nafta, WTO, Iraq, Syria,Obamacare , Neocon “one world order” crap.
I will support the annihilation of Hillary politically by Trump. Cruz has no chance. He is nor eligible because he was not born on our soil. He is a citizen but the Constitution in Article two, for a very good reason required a natural born ( as apposed to foreign born person) to be President. That is the elephant in the living room. You cannot deny it away.

To be honest Jim, that is the only reason I joined over 18 years ago, and its the only reason I am still here.
I have made many friends here and lost some who have gone home to be with our Lord. I have prayed for many, and many have prayed for me and my wife. In the time I have wondered these corridors of conversation, I have gone from Newbie to old timer as my children have grown and given me 7 grandchildren.
I have made many journeys on the great WWW, but none of them hold the memories, both good and bad, as the ones I have with FreeRepublic. I would be lost if I left, and forever saddened if banished.
I have had my share of disagreements here over the years, a few have been with you. I will freely admit that I even deserved to be Zotted a time or two, but in your graciousness you have seen fit to forgive, and keep me around.
God bless you and yours brother
AMEN, Jim.

The following is my personal message to all FReepers:
FR has survived many flame wars, including major ones that pop up in election season. This one is no different; FR will survive.
We FReepers are passionate conservatives and have been disappointed many times in the past at many of those we elected when they shed their conservative disguises and revealed their Establishment hearts. Many have been corrupted and sold us out.
We fight amongst ourselves to try and expose the chinks in the armour of the candidates; hoping that we can discover the true conservative champions and praying that G-d will annoint leaders that follow Him.
Sometimes the process is painful, especially when we realize that those we support are not who we thought they were.
The ‘slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ cut deep, but in this forum, we must resist the temptation to to ‘take arms against a sea of’ disappointments and attacks. This is the essence of Flame wars - ‘and by opposing end them’ does not end them, but only fans the flames into a raging forest fire, serving no purpose when attacking each other.
Debate must be centered on facts, values, and goals, not personal attacks and/or name calling. There is a reason that this forum has a “Report Abuse” button. Use it when personal insults are flying around.
My appologies to Shakespeare and his play, Hamlet, from which I borrowed the above quotes.
Bull’s-eye.
You threaded the eye of the needle, Chief.
Amen to that.
Thanks for the ping. And yeah, when push comes to shove what matters is being pro-God, pro-family, and pro-America... We can do this...
