What Should We Call Free Republic Liberals

Free Republic | 2/25/07 | Wagglebee

The only reason they consider themselves to be "conservative" is in contrast to the other city dwellers who expect them to fork over the tax money to keep them.

That and they'd rather not have a 757 come crashing through their or their husband's office window.

[Chickensoup]

Yes, I know what we should call them:

Freeper.

Just as I call myself.

We differ, but not much.

And I am big enough to have someone who disagrees with me on some issues but who has the same whole picture in mind on my team.

So let's stop playing games here and work for our main objectives: A conservative court, second amendment rights, less to no abortion, lower taxes and less goverment intrusion.

Oooh, you're going to get them mad.

Why? I'm just asking a very simple question.

I don't suppose you think that your juvenile insults are helping your cause any?

Have your fun playing Torquemada; I'm sure it will add dozens of lik- minded boors to your candidate's side.

[Barnacle]

Lenore Fulani says otherwise.

Really... Should that mean something to me?

[wku man]

And who are the ones working hardest to create that schism? Those who are fighting to maintain the traditional values and planks that made the GOP what it once was...the party of President Reagan...or those who're willing to sell out on abortion, the 2d Amendment, American sovereignty, etc.

There's a schism, all right. It's been created by those who pander to the middle by turning their backs on bedrock (former) Republican principles. As the old saying goes, ya dance with the one who brung ya, but the Pubbies seem to have forgotten that pearl of wisdom. Go ahead and dance with the libs, but don't be surprised if you wind up going home alone.

Goodness. Were you really in the mood to make so many enemies? Sheesh! You ask for a name and some people react as if you asked them to be banned! Others are basically calling you a bible thumping devil!

For the record, I was going to say FRiberals, but someone beat me to it. Besides...its really hard to say! ;o)

[Drango]

Whatever. I'll end my part of the discussion with Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment: "Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican."

His wisdom was true then, and it's true today. Hilliary/Obama should be your targets.

Rudiberals

“We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.” --Ronald Reagan

[TradicalRC]

I've already used the term FRino in this forum.

[TradicalRC]

But one thing is striking--the condescension towards social conservatives and the not too subtle hints that they are bigoted and willing to hand the White House to Hillary because of their principles...

Amen!

[Drango]

Hilliary/Obama should be your targets. Drango

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Interesting. In comparison to Clinton almost all FReepers seemed conservative. Now there's a republican candidate that shares a lot of Clinton values and FReepers are gaga for him.

[TradicalRC]

If I believed Mitt Romney could win, I would support him. But he can't win, and you know it.

Well I don't know it and neither do you.

So'd you'd rather go down in flames for ideological purity and let Hillary Clinton be president.

Hot News Flash: Obama's going to be the front-runner, Hillary will be L-U-C-K-Y to get veep (I wouldn't hold my breath.)

[P.O.E.]

I'm despairing over the possibility of a conservative candidate in the near term. With 1/2 the voters seemingly firmly esconced in the lib wing (q.v. Gore & Kerry's election numbers), the MSM stacking the deck, apathy (around 50% voter turnout), etc., the system seems rigged against it. Factor into that the number of people who, whether consciously or not, think government can solve problems, and/or are easily caught up in hype.

My worst fear is that it will take a disastrous lib term(HRC, e.g.), an economic downturn, huge tax increases, and/or a bad turn in the war on terror, to bring a conservative to the fore. And I don't wish any of those things on the US.

I don't see anyone catching the imagination of the public yet.

[wku man]

They are my targets, as well as all other liberals, regardless of party affiliation. I don't vote for yellow dogs just because of the letter following their names.

This is just............................dumb. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, yes? To group people that support Guiliani into one camp is ignorant. I guess since I don't agree with your premise, that makes me?

[supercat]

All of the candidates running with a realistic chance of gaining the nomination are disparaged as RINO's on FR.

Not all RINOs are created equal. McCain is just plain evil with his overt and deliberate flouting of the First Amendment. Of the other two front runners, Romney seems better than Giuliani. I'm not wild about him, but he does seem to have some sense of fiscal conservatism, and he's at least trying to court the conservative vote. Rudy seems to think it should be his by default.
