In Praise of FR's freedom - from a progressive

by ClassConscious aka SoLongCrooks ^

What you have seen is that most 'liberals' are NOT liberal. They are control freaks who know darn well that unless people are put under a strict set of rules, they will never fulfill liberal or 'progressive' dreams.

Freedom is a scary and messy thing. Lib's need to get over their co-dependent character flaws and let messy freedom reign.

Well, FR is for the advancement of conservative causes.
But we do discuss wide ranging topics.
But Dem talking points tend to become very old very quickly.
Just keep that in mind, be courteous, and avoid talking points and you probably will be okay.
(Case in point: Board pet Liberal "Murrymom". She rewrites history at will, often.)

Then you are obviously a moron. Buh bye.

You capitalist pig!!!!!!!

:)

[JRandomFreeper]

You replied. You get points for that. I'll argue with you all night about capitalism. If you reply.

Opening argument: Amrerican Capitalism is the only thing that saved Europe during the last world war. And our leadership opened the way to communism that enslaved and killed hundreds of millions in the east.

1) I don't think you should be zotted because your post is respectfully written.

2) You should read the rules more carefully here at FR because this post should be in "personal" (and that is reason enough to at least delete it from breaking news.

3) FR is a private site (and very capitalist) and free speech does not apply here. If the owner and his moderators want something deleted, that's the way it goes.

4) Lurk for awhile and learn how things are done here before posting speeches. Then you will more likely be welcomed.

[TheForceOfOne]

Always respond to points you make, present facts to back them up, and avoid personal attacks because that means you have run out of argument yet continue to post anyway.

If your mind is open, you will learn from many knowledgeable people here more than willing to share.

You'd may be surprised how quickly your opinion might change once presented with honest debate.

Good Luck.

Why not tell me what he has done to get some here so riled up?

Well now, for starters, he is a bigot.

That said, I'm no conservative but I do despise crooks and liars and the current face of the Democrat Party is that in double no-trump.

[RightWhale]

Oh, the Progressives, yes, in that sense quite right. Not at all like they intend progress itself. It's almost ironic they would use that name.

[nopardons]

Can you smell the ozone yet, troll?

[A Citizen Reporter]

I hate people who hate capitalists!

[The Old Hoosier]

COme on, man, lay off. THis is the best thread all day. And that isn't just the beer talking.

[Admin Moderator]

While my discussion of this was banned on DU, I don't think it will be banned here.

I wouldn't count on that. Folks who hate capitalists, conservatives and Republicans, especially in that combination, don't tend to become long term posters here.

This isn't a site for debating liberals in an evenhanded forum. This is a forum by and for conservatives.

Our tolerance for the few token liberals here is fickle.

Thanks for the tagline partner.

[Carry_Okie]

The environmental move-mint is a tool of corporate socialists, a way to put competitors out of business and raise commodity prices via artificial shortages. Here is a workable free market alternative.

See tagline.

[Darksheare]

He has been polite so far.
And we do need at least someone fresh as Murrymom is quite stale.

[America's Resolve]

It is not just that DU bans people who are conservatives or Republicans - they do this all the time for people who support the Green party! *laugh* They're still stuck on stupid from the 2000 elections. We're all evil, your side and ours, because we didn't let them steal that election.

[popdonnelly]

Why would anyone want to waste their time only supporting candidates of the Democratic Party?

[NapkinUser]

"I'm no conservative"

Libertarian?

[The Old Hoosier]

LOL!

You sound like a working class Democrat rather than a liberal. Many of your fellow old school Democrats have found themselves voting Republican over the years as their party has increasingly left them and the Republican party has moved into the gap.

Working class Democrats are generally pro 1st. and 2nd. Amendment, for national defense (even if not the current war), suspicious of government at all levels, and distrust elites of every kind. While there are many areas where such people part from working class Republicans, they shared more in common than either have with the current core of the the Democrat party.
