That’s what it’s like to be the FNG.
This is something I have never understood. It seems to be a common practice to immediately look at the signup date of someone whenever they appear here and post a comment. I realize that Liberal trolls show up here to sow dissent and act as agents provocateur, but why the automatic assumption that newbies are always trolls?
I have been posting here for almost a year now, and everything i've written is hard core conservative, yet a few weeks ago, there were those alleging I was a troll. (Because I pooh poohed their theory that Stanley Ann Dunham is not Barry's mother.)
Conservatives may disagree on things, and MANY conservatives do not agree with the "birther" issue in any form. "Ace" of Ace of Spades HQ is a die hard conservative, but he will not accept or tolerate any suggestion that Barack Obama is not legitimate. He is NOT a liberal, he just happens to be a conservative who disagrees with myself and others on this issue.
I would suggest that his is the majority opinion currently among conservatives, especially among those leaning towards the established orthodoxy.
In any case, I urge people to withhold judgement of people until they make it clear that they are a troll, rather than a conservative with which we might disagree.
Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri, I welcome you to Free Republic, and I will grant you the courtesy of presuming you to be one of us until you should conduct yourself in such a way that I should presume otherwise.
Thank you, my problem was that I don’t tolerate anyone accusing me of being a “troll,” which to me is calling me a leftist troublemaker. I would describe myself as very conservative with some libertarian leanings. My problem with Romney is a very liberal track record on issues like abortion, the radical homosexual issue, global warming, judicial nominees, Romneycare, etc. Believe me, Obamunism is ushering in a socialism on a scale like FDR or LBJ, so I understand the importance of defeating Obama. My point is that we should not become so desperate as to take a liberal republican who, in my opinion, is ideologically on par with Bill Clinton. If Romney had a genuine conversion I might bite, but I fear the worst. Anyhow, I really overlooked the importance of Obama’s eligibility and this looks like a solid case.
