Quite a number of FREEPERS were once Dems,before they woke up.They didn't come here when they were Liberals,though,and neither did they try to convert the rest of us.
People who want other views,can and do go off to LP,FU,and even to DU.
As I said,FR is for Conservatives and there is a big enough range here,that lurkers will get all kinds of different views.FR doesn't need Liberals;polite ones nor incivil ones.
MurryMom is a walking cliche, and mostly I've just gotten a chuckle outta messing with her mind, so no, I've learned nothing from her. But there have been liberals who I've learned from, even if it was just a matter of learning their mindset. Once you begin to learn why Lib'rals are Lib'rals, you can begin to strategize how to win over their hearts and minds. And the very fact that many present FReepers will openly admit that they were once liberals is proof positive that the liberal mind can be changed, given the right circumstances and coaching.

With all the solidly conservative thinkers around here, do you really believe many FReepers are gonna get converted to Lib'rals becuz some small percentage of folks come here with a liberal mindset?! I don't...

And indeed they do...but I'm simply not afraid to allow them to matriculate here. We should be confident enough in our ideological underpinnings to win in the arena of ideas.
