So what is conservative about a lot of things that are posted on here? If you are afraid to read articles about Rudy, then ignore them. He is going to be a Republican candidate. Obama and Hillary have tons of stories on here, and they are certainly not conservative.

Trying to stifle debate is not Conservative and wanting everyone to march in lockstep is also not Conservative.

There are many areas that Rudy is conservative like the WOT, smaller government, less taxes, law and order, strict constructionists judges, supply sided economics, etc.

Hate to break the news to you but to be conservative you don't have to be a social conservative. We have a lot of fiscal conservatives in the Republican Party and the Contract with America said nothing about social issues which a lot of us who are Conservative believe they belong at the state level not the federal level.

That was actually pretty good, even though I don't agree with you.

So, how's about the Rudy supporters dropping the taunts that FReepers who don't support him are thereby supporting a Hitlery presidency...?

Hmmm...?

Well, we have a very different view of these threads. IF I was going to say that anyone was trying to stifle debate I would say it was the Rudy supporters, but I don't think anyone is consciously attempting to do that.

We aren't stifling debate just because we don't come into Rudy threads shaking our pom-poms and rah-rah-Rudying. We are debating his stance on the issues or giving our opinions. You might disagree with the opinions, but that in no way stifles the debate on the threads.

As Jim Robinson has said, we are ALL conservatives here on this forum, but it would be a freaking miracle if we all agreed on everything. I wouldn't insult my fellow Freepers by even suggesting there is any lock-stepping going on around here.
