Interesting post here:

That ship has sailed, dude. Calling a good freeper friend (Common Tator) a liberal, and a proud Veteran (68 grunt) a troll, has really frosted me. I'll be talking to you--every time I think you need to be rhetorically slapped.

I think you are "spitting" in the wind. These people including the founder of the forum have ratcheted up the garbage talk because they now realize that most of America and even most of the Republican Party no longer listens to them. They know the game is over, and this is just early retribution against any who are perceived to have taken that leadership role away from them.

What you are seeing here simply demonstrates that the hard right and hard left have much more in common than what distinguishes them from each other. What you see from these people may reflect "social" values, but definitely not conservatism.

That last point is a sound one, no question about it. I have noted on FR, for example, that there is nothing particularly 'conservative' about what many Freepers think about divorce policy. I've seen people have a complete disregard for property rights, for example, in their zeal to punish a cheating spouse by taking away all of their interest in marital property.

That may be some social values reflected there, but to call that particular flavor 'conservative' is tenuous, at best.
