OhioWfan -- we'll sleep peacefully tonight, with thanks owed to DV!
I pray this daily for the President which is Isaiah 54:14-17. This was prayed over him when he was first inaugurated and God has been faithful to W in this regard. This scripture is the rock on which this presidency stands and those who have resisted it are being crushed by it.
Isaiah 54:14-17
14In righteousness you shall be established;you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15If anyone stirs up strife,it is not from me; whoever stirs up strife with you shall fall because of you.
16See, it is I who have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and produces a weapon fit for its purpose;
I have also created the ravager to destroy.
17 No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper,
and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgement.This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, says the Lord.
Remember its strategery!
Okay, I'll put down my 500 pound weights, turn my attention away from my gun and knife collection and tell my harem of babes to wait a moment while I tell you in my Clint-Eastwood type voice: Federal spending as a percentage of GDP is lower now than it was when Reagan was president.
You call that polite?
too bad you're a jerk.
Moderator, Moderator, he called me a jerk.
Have you been in Combat?
Close enough to suit me.
Seen you buddy killed right next to you?
Nope
Put yourself in the line of fire?
I've been in the line of fire. The enemy put me there.
But hey, thank you for your service to our country.
I love that!
We;ll have to repost your post on the daily prayer thread for POTUS!
Thanks onyx!
What these folks do not realize what they are doing is sedition. Satan was the first seditionist and we all know how God deals with sedition.
You think? I'd consider my liberalism a 2-year brainwashing in which a smalltown farm kid showed up in Atlanta, Georgia, surrounded by a sea of people who were supposed to be sophisticated and educated--the kind of people who I was supposed to emulate. And take on nuance, as it turned out. And learn about the world. I was incredibly naive--I think way too much time in a small town and way too many 19th-century Victorian novels in high school.
Funny how a real-world experience and some genuine reading up on the history, gaining some real-world experience, and coming to your own decisions changes things.
But really, there's no reason to rag on anyone for how stupid they are. It's a wholly pointless exercise and mean-spirited at that. As for the validity of ideas, that's a different story.
Why is it that all these millionaires who never spent a day in the military are so macho?
Who are you talking about?
Oh man I am LOL!
Really!... So Dubya is a cost cutter?.. a small gov't pubbie?..
Got a question for you...
What the heck does, "I'm a Unite'er not a Divide'er" mean anyway?..
He seems to be Uniteing with the wrong people..
and not Uniteing with the right ones..
By the way,,, Fed. spending was way way too high under Reagan..
Percentage of GNP is a strawman.. only RINOs fall for that..
If RINOs had any sense they wouldn't be stealth democrats..
I have to agree somewhat.. Bush is doing a heroic work distracting from the Mexican Border.. Literally the ONLY thing the democrats, Bush and other RINOs agree on..
Mark my words.. The border will end up relegating Dubya to being one of the worse Presidents, almost on a par with Clinton on a different level.. The Mexican border will end up being much worse than the positives of the economy and the Iraq war, the Supreme nominations and any legislation passed.. Its the millstone that will sink his legacy.. could take 5 to 10 years but it will..
Reagan had the same weakness about immigration (only worse), but history has judged him for what he was, and what he did, not for the things he didn't get done.
Reagan had a vision of freedom and the world changed because of it. Bush has that same visionary leadership quality that the small minded just don't 'get.'
But even those who ragged on Reagan from the right now recognize his greatness (some of them the worst bashers on this forum). You'll see it too. Each of them a man among men, and a gift to this country.
What a shame to be missing it while it's happening.
Tunnel vision is what Bush bots have.. This is not 1980.. And Ronnie didnt have a republican congress, mostly republican governors, and the democrats were NOT 100% Moonbats then..
Loyalty is a good thing.. Even party loyalty.. But Free Republic is not just any old website.. Most here are the cream of conservatism.. If we can't b!itch slap Bush here than where?.. Any other place I would be on the wussy RINOs side.. not here.. Here Bush has to stand and fight on his own.. Sycophants be damned.. Sure Bush has thrown some bones to conservatives.. Had to, else no other RINO would ever get elected.. The republican party is sick.. so sick in fact that massive democrat voter fraud is not even sniffed at.. or investigated.. ON PURPOSE...
Some smell a rat.. actually some of us smell many rats.. or are they lemmings?.. No matter there be rodents afoote.. A RINO is not a Rat but hes a rodent.. Thats just not good enough.. Voteing for a President because hes not an Al Gore or John Kerry is simply not good enough.. That IS why he won you know.. "read my lips no new taxes" Junior is simply not good enough.. Clinton replaced most ALL lawyers in the department of Justice with cronies and minions upon taking office.. Bush kept most of them you know.. WHy?.. Why indeed..
One issue?.. Only groupies have one issue.. The Mexican Border is not the only issue but it is "THE" issue.. Vincente Fox's Drug Cartel is related but a very serious side issue.. actually there are many side issues that relate.. The Mexican government IS and has been a drug cartel you know.. course that issue effects both sides of the aisle..
We've been through the history of the Republican party, hoser. Republican is not a synonym for conservative. There are Republicans who are conservatives, but the party as a whole is not now, nor ever has been the property of conservatives. Thus, as a conservative Republican, my goal is to move the party farther toward the right, against its history as a moderate bunch of fellows.
In the strand of history, George W. Bush is no farther down the line than second on the list in terms of his conservatism. He is very little, if any, left of Ronald Reagan.
George W. Bush IS a conservative Republican.......not conservative in all things OBVIOUSLY......but overall conservative, nonetheless.
We could debate this until the cows come home, hoser, and it would never be resolved. You said that Bush isn't 'good enough' for you. The truth is that no electable conservative is 'good enough' for you.
I would suggest that you get away from your computer and run for office yourself. YOU are obviously good enough for you. And you might well be the only one who is.
But to the point of the thread. President Bush IS a man. A good man, and a man of strength and character. You are unwilling to see things as they really are for some reason.........whatever that might be. But the truth doesn't change because you can't see it.
Rush is right on with this theme. The left hates a real man............and so, obviously do some on the right.
The ONLY ones that are effected negativly by the terms RINO and Sycophantic RINO, here on free republic.. Are RINOs and Sycophantic RINOs.. i.e. moderates.. progressive republicans, big government anythings, AND government employees.. including members of the NEA..
Besides that, in a hyperbolic situation NOT useing hyperbole to express it is disinformation at best and agitprop at worse.. Any that don't see the situation in Foggy Bottom as hyperbolic are drooling automatons, oblivious..
Around Christmas 2004 I was in Fredericksburg, TX visiting family. One of the places I usually stop is the bookstore for the Museum of the Pacific War, in the old Nimitz Hotel. The old lady complemented one of the customers, told him he looked like Dick Cheney (she thought Dick Cheney was handsome). Dude was a far lefty liberal girlie man, had a screaming meltdown.
Absolutely, categorically UNtrue, hosepipe.
And silly, to boot. Those of us who oppose the OVER-use of the term RINO, are those who take the term seriously. Those of you who use it to slam anyone you feel like slamming are the ones who render the term useless.
As for the sycophant thing.........look the term up, OK? You haven't got a clue as to what a sycophant is because you use it so completely improperly. You slop the brush over anyone who respects President Bush, and it makes you look like an idiot.
Let's get the the nub of this shall we? The difference between you and me is not necessarily our politics. We probably don't actually disagree on much when it comes down to the basics (that is presuming that you actually are a conservative, as I am).
The difference between you and me is recognition of character.........the character of George W. Bush. You don't see it because your eyes are blinded by the feelings you have against anyone who disagrees with you and doesn't follow your own personal agenda. I can see the character in people whom I don't agree with on every single issue.
The bottom line is that your feelings blur your perception of reality...even to the point of being clueless about history........ and mine don't. That's the core of why we will never agree about this President, hoser.
But go ahead and call the vast majority of the people on this board RINOs and moderates and sycophants. It obviously makes you feel good to do so, even if it has no bearing on the truth of the matter. Those of us who think deeply will always disagree with those of you who make decisions based on simple-mindedness supported by unbridled feelings.
