> Are you a liberal?
Uh, no. I’m probably closest to tradionalist conservatism. I like the writings of Russell Kirk and have read a bunch of his books, both non-fiction and fiction (I highly recommend his ghost stories and novels.) I am firmly opposed to radicals either on the Left or Right.

That’s not what I’m talking about either. I regularly see people on FR talking about killing or wanting people to be dead, etc. On a couple of instances I’ve even seen posters talk about mapping out where liberals lived in their neighborhoods so they plan which houses to take out first. This sort of thing is more than “slightly heated” language. And, as I said, I know there are places that conservatives (many are really Right wing radicals, in my opinion) gather that are much worse than FreeRepublic in this regard.
Feel free to link to any of these discussions. Do people talk about the need to "fight" the left? Hell yeah. If you take your Christianity to mean you should, as I said, pray for the people who are loading you into cattle cars, then I guess I ain't your kind of Christian.
