Old Guard Conservative looking for a home on the Web

Posted on 11/09/2008 9:47:10 PM PST by RescueTheRepublic

New here at FR. I am an old guard fiscal/social conservative who came on board the GOP bandwagon in the '80s with the Reagan Revolution. I slipped over from Townhall.com because that place seems to be infested with RINO's, moderates, neocons, and global interventionists. I sure do hope my ship has charted it's way to friendlier waters.

I’ve never been over to Townhall but I find it hard to believe it can be as conservatively informative as this place is.

I’m ‘schooled’ over here to a more intelligently conservative, (I’m kind of a newbie at it). But, oh there are bickerings that go on here from time to time.

We’ll have to wait for Paradise to come later but till then, I’m pretty happy here.

Hope you will be too.

Welcome!

You will find a wide variety of opinions here as well, some more right than your own and some just plain wrong, but most on your general track. That’s what makes it a great forum.

I was not old enough to vote when Goldwater was running, but I read the book “A Choice Not An Echo, which was written to try to assist in his election.

I especially liked his speech where he said, “I would remind you that extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.”

I would like to reply to some of the posts but I can’t seem to find a way to include the poster’s text in my reply. Can someone enlighten me?

“while I want our boys to stay in Iraq until the job is done and they can leave with honor, in future I will subscribe to the “more rubble, less trouble” philosophy. If something needs breaking and people need killing to keep this country safe, then that’s what we should do, then clear out fast.”

Yes, I agree, this is what I mean by non-interventionist, maybe non-nation building is the term I should have used in my intro. I come from a 4 generation military family and have nothing but the highest admiration for our men and women in arms. If military projection means isolating the source of the problem, defining our objectives, kickin’ butt, taking names and getting out as soon as possible, I’m on board. The surge in Iraq should have come alot sooner.

This is the third or fourth sign up vanity in the last three days. Please note that they all use basically the same language and sentence structure. The attack on FR continues.

Just cut and paste and italicize using HTML. It's fairly easy to use and you will pick it up fast if you don' know it. I didn't when I signed up at FR.

You can find most of what you will need HERE but to get you started < i > will italicize all following text up to the point you put < /i >. Remove the spaces between the brackets. You will need to add < p > without the spaces where you want to put paragraphs. Hitting enter won't show up if there is any HTML in the post.

Sorry if I offended anyone folks. It wasn't my intent to be a party crasher. I'm just a digruntled, disenchanted Reaganite conservative who is less than satisfied with the direction the GOP has been going the last several election cycles. The GOP is so full of RINO crap at the moment that it needs a serious colon cleansing. I'm here to brainstorm with anyone who has any idea how we mighty bring the party out of the wilderness and back to the promised land. I haven't given up on Reagan's vision of the "shining city on a hill."

I think you are being excessively rude. It is true that a noobie shouldn’t be posting vanities, but, other than that, he seems ok, Trust but verify.

Well I do not really care much what you think. FR is under attack and we are at war. Users who signed up in 2005 are coming out of the woodwork with stupid vanities all designed to waste bandwidth. Noobs signing up using, in two cases, the exact same verbiage introducing themselves. This noob with a suspicious IP address using the same writing style and similar phraseology as others noobs.

Do some research before you try and take a hit at me.

You and the other Rodney King Conservatives around here need to wake up and smell the zot. WE ARE BEING ATTACKED by a very skilled enemy and they do not want to play nice. So if you want to be all nice and polite go ahead but when Obama's National Security Force comes for you they will not be polite.

ALL noobs are suspect until they prove themselves and then still will be watched carefully.

neocons, and global interventionists.It's not like there are any of those here...

Oh man you walked into a hornets nest, I can assure you. For wanting constitutional government, sound money and a foreign policy that secures OUR boarders and not those of alphabetastan you are going to join those of us who are accused of the worst evil imaginable - dope crazed terrorist loving Paulists.

Still, rational folks here can use reinforcements.
