[ You keep saying that the Republican party has moved to the left, but that presumption can't be backed up with history. ]

Not true..

"many, many conservatives called the Gipper too soft on the Soviets "

Really? I don't recall that.

"And notice how she tries to imply that Reagan gave us Clarence Thomas"

No. I don't see that.

Probably her worst most incoherent column ever. I still like Ann, but when she misfires, her weapon blows up. I guess deposing islamo-fascist regimes in two countries and changing the political realities of the mideast means nothing to Ann. A shame, I hope she puts more thought into her next column.

"How was Ronald Reagan conservative?"

Amazing statement. I guess if you have to ask you wouldn't understand.

Well, this is really for another thread, but it is inappropriate to assume that all who indulged were self absorbed or immoral. I look at it from a more libertarian point of view. I see nothing with what I did. That implies absolutely nothing towards the rest of you.

I, and many I knew, went to work everyday, were productive and lawful people (outside of that aspect-which I consider a technicality anyway). What I did on my own time (I was college full time and worked full time, so I didn't have much free time) was my business. If I chose to smoke, no one else's business. As what you *didn't* do was yours.

Again, lighten up a little. Most of our generation grew up to be productive adults. It's just that some them never grew out of their naive liberalism. And as a consequence are now middle aged looney leftists wearing tin foil hats.

"because of small personal preferences and ideology"

Is wanting smaller gvt is a "small personal preference"?

I agree that it is a topic for another thread, so will make only a few comments.

The problem is that the feelings in your tagline are echoed throughout our culture, and most significantly by the left, who still don't want to take responsibility for their own illegal and immoral behavior then, or now.

Secondly, I don't consider the illegality of drugs a 'technicality.' It is a law, and it should be obeyed. And those of us who obeyed it, and those who obey it now, should not be subjected to the scorn of those on the left........or on the far right.

And I don't need to 'lighten up' when it comes to obeying laws against things that are destructive, not only of the people using them, but of the innocent people harmed and sometimes killed by others using them.

You ARE a child of the '60's if you see drug use as innocent self expression.

I grew up during the same time period..it is no one else's business what we did in our off time not working..I have been working since I was 12 and partied hearty at times...it seems there are some right wing kooks that never enjoyed life to the fullest, and made for some pretty unhappy campers....such is life

I have a really great debate on this subject last night til 2:30 this a.m. I am talking about the Coulter article...it was fun and made for alot of contemplation.

Why is it all you bush-bots seem so angry lately? I've seen a few of you hear try to shout down anyone w/ an opinion which differs from yours. What's up w/ that?

Its supposed to be FREE Republic.

If you think shouting people down is going to garner support for your guy, I think you're mistaken.

Ummmm.............rdb made that pretty clear. The term has been distorted beyond recognition, and it's not a bad thought to steer clear of it.

To tell the truth, some of the people claiming to be conservative purists on this forum are in reality, some of the least conservative folks around here.

The term has been drained of its meaning by constant misuse.

"..when I was out there laying the groundwork for the Conservative Movement and beyond"

Wow!

And I see you unilaterlaly labelling someone a troll earlier, basically "just cuz you said so".

Did you ever consider you might have an ego problem?

Gee...........I wonder.

Maybe it's because of the constant lies of the media and the left.........you know, like George W. Bush caused the hurricane, deliberately let black people die, and was too stupid to do anything about it (even though he preceded the storm and was ignored by the idiot leftists in LA).

And then we come to FREE Republic and see mindless piling on of bashing extreme rightist malcontents, who seem to be as pleased with his seeming 'demise' as those on the left....

Maybe we're bothered because we care about truth and human decency??

Too bad he's going to let you all down and come out of these ignorant attacks stronger than ever. Too bad for you that he keeps doing what he believes is right, regardless of the bogus attacks on his policies and his character.

(And I didn't shout once on this thread).
