We're not about opposition for the sake of opposition. We (Conservatives) have principles. But you cant violate your principles while trying to promote them at the same time. I understand your overall concern and tend to agree with it. Yes, FR has taken an interesting turn this election cycle, more so than perhaps usual. Unfortunately, this election cycle, there was not a strong conservative presidential candidate, but the lesser of two evils was far closer to our position than the current president-elect. Yes, I am in strong opposition to our president-elect, but I wish I had a more positive reason for rooting for the losing ticket. I for one, was fine with the opposition shown to the liberal winning ticket. I also for one, am willing to put up with a few more insane vanities during the next week until the shock of what has happened wears off.
I am convinced that we need to be more focused on principles at this forum and am convinced that we can as conservatives get more focused. But please have a heart and let those of us in mourning get over the temporary death of conservatism. We need it.

Hey AM just a suggestion. When a User gets banned or suspended could you put their handle in RED so we do not have to click on their name to see if you did it yet. Seems likely that it would reduce server traffic and some “IBTZ” posts.

"...the messages contained in many of them reflect a mindset that IMHO has no place here." In a market place of ideas shouldn't it be the decision of the consumer to make those decisions?
This is the same thought process that is used at DU to drive out dissenters.
It is the same process that is used at You-Tube to eliminate ideas the mob doesn't agree with.
Thinking like this will soon bring back The Fairness Doctrine for talk radio.
We can't be like liberals - afraid of other views.
Freepers are smart enough to decide for themselves.

....We (Conservatives) have principles. But you cant violate your principles while trying to promote them at the same time....I'm not one to call for banning anybody, but maybe we could take a few and mark their foreheads with a scarlet letter, C (for cretin, not Conservative). You know who they are, the liberals in training who said "you go ahead and hold onto your precious principles!"

If the DUmmies aren’t allowed here, we can’t talk to them. Free speech and open debate is forbidden on Daily Kos, Huffpo and DU, so FR is the only way to communicate with close-minded DUmmies.

I see that we both have been around FR for about 7 or 8 years...and I agree with you, more fringe idiot posting and constant name calling and flaming. It seems more a forum of lurking idiots waiting to pounce and flame. Thoughtful intelligent dialect seems more and more rare. Some of the responses you've received are a fine example of these goofballs.

Opinions, like yours, are like armpits, everyone has a couple.
And they usually stink.

Who do you specifically have in mind?Going back to the Georgia threads and sh*tcanning anyone who defended Putin and the neo-Soviets would be a great start.
If defending Rudy Guiliani was a capital crime, you'd think being an apologist for Putin and neo-Soviet aggression would be a no-brainer.

LMAO!!! The account has not been banned...read the whole thread.
