Received the above email message (actually subject only-no message) from LibbyLu. I'm saving her the trouble of having to spread it far and wide on the internet. It'll be on google in moments with this post.
Guess the TrueBlueConservatives™ who would rather allow Hillary to waltz into the White House if Trump is our Republican nominee rather than voting for him are going to attempt to take down FR.
Good luck with that.
As far as I'm concerned not voting for our Rebublican nominee against the America-hating, constitution-hating, God-hating Marxist/fascist/socialist/democrat totalitarian traitors is tantamount to treason.
I can remember when we fought real wars against these communist bastards and real Americans died to preserve our Constitution and our freedom and our right to vote. Those who think they're too good to VOTE against the commies can piss away their freedom on some other website.
Those agreeing that another commie should win the election unopposed and without a fight or even a vote are welcome to join her.
Our mission on FR: Securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
Those who are too timid or prideful or too wrapped up in themselves or whatever excuse they have to lift a finger to save our freedom might as well bail the hell out now. We have the fight of our lives coming up to save our nation!
A soap opera in two opuses huh.
Jim,
It is no surprise that I am a strong supporter of Ted Cruz. I want him to win the nomination and the Presidency. I feel he is our best chance to win against Hillary.
I also feel that Ted Cruz has been crucified and attacked unfairly right here on FR.
Having said that I FULLY agree that IF TRUMP is the nominee, and he wins fair and square, that ALL Republicans need to get behind him to save our country from going down under a Hillary Presidency.
We will need to hold Trump, and or Cruz for that matter, to their promises they have made the voters. This will be a fight, the likes we have never seen before.
I still don’t trust Trump... but as stated, IF he ends up the only alternative to Hillary, he will get my vote, while praying MUCH that he hasn’t conned us.
Never in my 75 years of living have I seen anything near like the contention that is going on here in our land and also here on FR. It is sad.
Jim, you are absolutely right: under no circumstances can this republic survive a Hillary installation to the White House. She is the center of all the corruption in Washington, I have that information delivered personally by my sitting US Senator. She founded, funded and armed ISIL with the ams from Libya, and the support of Muslim Brotherhood and AQ via Huma Abdein, sacrificing a US ambassador in the process. All the terrorism underway in Brussels and Paris can be directly traced to that creation in Benghazi. She also funded the walking guns for the Sinaloa cartel in the fast-furious, trading with Obama open access to Chicago drug markets for Sinaloa Cartel, and choosing Sinaloa to defeat the Juarez cartel to run the drugs via the Juarez-El Paso routes. The levels of depravation from her and her minions are endless — Washington functionaries are terrified to challenge her because she is so powerful: they do not want to prosecute the Flagrant Security protocol breaches from her personal email/server fiasco - what Petraus did is a paltry misdemeanor compared to her open flouting of US laws. She even set up her own private NSA/CIA Unit pending moving to the White House, Beacon Global Strategies, to shadow and influence the Obama policies so she can continue to subvert American interest in favor of the pan-islamic jihadists. http://bgsdc.com all bad guys.Whatever it takes to stop her, must be done.

I’m cool with Cruz or Trump. If the GOPe engineers a brokered convention and tries to shove something like Jeb! down our throats, I’m going to have to think about it. A lot.
I don’t want to elect someone who’s only going to postpone the collapse. I want it to happen while I’m still young enough to make some kind of meaningless gesture.
Hope it's a lifetime zot with no chance of redemption.
I know a lot about obnoxious. I'm an expert on the subject. LL was obnoxious.
She’s had like 83 weeks to cool off. Meanwhile, she was zot-material back in 2007 when she was shilling for Mitt Romney.
Trump is an equal opportunity offender, if we must put it as kindly as possible.
And it is true. Trump starts out from the standpoint of charm. This quickly degrades to the fire and brimstone when the charm offensive fails.
Plural of opus is opussi. It's in Shakespeare's works, just encrypted.
I actually think otherwise. Hillary WILL sell this country out. She and her husband have a track record of it. I’m going to paraphrase a quote from the Poles, who were asked to choose between Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s USSR in 1939:
With Obama we lose our country. With Clinton we lose our souls.
I think the contention is related to the spiritual slump in which America has allowed itself to get.
I’ve curiously been swimming against that current for most of the last 3 decades, but it’s a powerful current, no lie.
Mere politics will not surmount it. It needs spiritual power.
Opera, oops, opium, opi, opuses, Opupolooza, are not the issue. The issue is F’ The Establishment.
I for one was kind of looking forward to libbylu’s opus 2.0. It was not a question of if, but when she’d go full rant mode. Ah well, gone not with a bang, but a whimper.
Our souls need to be invested back in Jesus Christ (or for the Jews, at least solidly in the Almighty as best they understand Him).
We’re going to lose our way otherwise. No anchor means the ship goes heaven and hell knows where.
You sound credible.
So Libbylu gave us two opera.
And yet we talk about operas.
I have always greatly enjoyed this site, so please believe that I ask this with respect: did you vote for Romney?
I understand that is a rather personal question, and certainly understand if you tell me “none-of-your-business”; let’s call it rhetorical.
I mention it, because I want you to know that I did not vote for Romney. I felt the establishment had pushed me too far and I couldn’t vote for a candidate who had been 180 degrees different immediately before running. So I wrote in a conservative name and voted Republican the rest of the ballot. This was a conscientious decision. I knew it meant that my potential vote AGAINST Obama was wasted, but I became convicted that you have to live with who you vote FOR, and it is different than who you vote against. I felt that I would rather lose the short-term battle than have a standard-bearer for Republicanism that drove our name through the mud and clouded the public view of conservatism for a generation.
So flash forward to 2016. I am struggling with a different set of circumstances, but a similar choice. I certainly don’t think Trump is an establishment candidate by any means, yet his position flip-flops are no less troubling than Romney’s, and his conduct is, in my opinion, disgraceful.
I am definitely not thrilled with any alternatives, and I swear I am not a complete purist... I have held my nose and voted for very flawed Republicans. I just think the better of two evils argument has its limits. For me, Trump is too far. I am more of a conservative than a populist, and see Trump as a flexible populist with consistent authoritarian tendencies.
I am not trying to convince you to become a nevertrumper, but I do take exception to an assertion that the decision to abstain from voting Trump is treason. I know that the loudest voices in that camp are career folks who benefit from the establishment status quo, but there are those of us who are not that way.
It’s your site Jim. I respect that. I just hope there is room for those of is who feel Trump is not a sincere conservative.
