There sure are a lot of fireworks on this thread tonight! I always am surprised at the opinions of some posters who consider themselves Conservatives. Actually, from my position here on Atilla's right flank, they wouldn't make a pimple on a Conservative's fanny.

There are a lot of well meaning Freepers who are firmly to the right of the average Dim senator, but they sure as hell aren't Conservative. Just my thoughts, and offered with all due respect.

I always am surprised at the opinions of some posters who consider themselves Conservatives.

Yesterday I was arguing with one who was praising Giuliani for violating the NY State ban on giving welfare to legal immigrants in country for less than a year.

The poster really and truly believed that it was a good and necessary thing.

I have two theories:

A. They are liberals who call themselves conservatives just to try to promote their liberal candidate in the GOP primary.

B. They are ex-liberals who have been mugged by the reality of 9/11 and think that because they believe in national security, that makes them conservatives.

Perhaps it is a combination of both.
