I've already stated that FR will probably become even more conservative than it already is, through attrition if nothing else. Besides continuing to champion the defense of America, FR just might become the "Conservative Conscience of the Republican Party," ie, we may become a real thorn in the side of moderate/liberal Republicanism. Someone has to try defend the party from completely tossing out traditional American conservatism. Might as well be us.

I guess so. I'm sorry, Jim, I have a great deal of respect for you and always have and always will, but even my husband, who never posted much but was a regular reader/lurker won't even bother looking at this forum any more.......and he makes me look like Hillary Clinton as far as being a conservative. As far as he is concerned the religious rightwing whackos have taken over and are seeking to turn this country into a theocracy.

I don't totally agree with him, but I do understand his point, as there is far too much religious zealotry and bigotry than even I am comfortable with anymore.

This is the problem with the conservative movement in a nutshell. The fundamentalist fringe DOES NOT represent traditional conservatism. I hope Jim Robinson realizes that and helps FR become the forefront of a real "Back to basics" movement, not one that worships the ground Bush walks on or focuses on wedge issues that are political dead ends.

They deny it, but I would love to put polygraphs on the leaders of the religious rightwing and ask if they really want a theocracy. I bet the results would be very telling.
