"...we have Murray Mom and one other Liberal here as well.I haven't learned a damned thing of value from them; have you?"

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.

"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."

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...

"People who want other views, can and do go off to LP, FU, and even to DU."

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.

FReegards...MUD

I am in 100% agreement with that idea. Besides, it's not hard to win a battle of wits with an unarmed person, lol.

Murray Mom almost never posts here any more, but I think that she's kept around as a "pet",so that the rest of us can beat her to a bloody pulp.

No,I don't think that any Conservative here can be converted to the DARK SIDE.But,Jim set FR up for Conservatives And Conservatives ONLY,so that we could debate,argue,and discuss amongst ourselves.There are plenty of places,on and off the net,where we can debate Liberals.

I'm not "afraid" of Liberals at all;not even debating RED DIAPER BABIES and card carrying,stinking Commies. I've done that for more decades than you can shake a stick at and won.

OTOH,the poster of this thread wants US to go to his web site and wants US to have an "open mind" about his opinions.That isn't what FR is all about and NOT something that will make FR better.And most of us know exactly what Liberals believe,how the "debate",and don't need any education is these matters at all.

And BTW...the poster of this thread has hardly replied to it at all.If he were REALLY sincere,he wouldn't have disappeared.He didn't want a "dialog" at all...he wanted hits on his web site.
