Is FreeRepublic A Conservative Website Or A Republican Website? (Vanity)

I have thought of it as a pro-Constitution website.

[bluecollarman]

It is a Conservative website that the Republicans keep trying to infiltrate with RINOS. It is less conservative now than 6 years ago but still the best place for Conservative types.

Good question for the Rudy supporters.

Well I already answered in post #16 that I was told many many times that this is a conservative website and not a Republican one and I should not be promoting Rudy on it. So I guess that answers the guy's question. And I believe it has been answered with about 20 thousand posts just like this one since the candidates announced they were running.

Insofar as it is a conservative website, it must also be a Republican website. True conservatives do not dwell in the mythical realm of utopian "conservative" idealism, where no actual human candidate will ever live up to our expectations. Conservatives enter the ring to duke it out, they don't stand on the sidelines and criticize.

I thought this was the official site for the Anna Kournikova fan club.

"upset and surprised when conservatives here get a little testy about it"

I think people get upset when postings are hateful, SPAMMING, name calling, and childish.

On both sides!

I've not seen problems when there is intelligent and fresh discussion or disagreement.

There a a few Zealots for a cause or candidate that are beyond the pale.

I would say it's a conservative/little l libertrian web site....kinda like NAtional Review.

Rules!

[CindyDawg]

like it or not, we have a two party system in this country. there may be other smaller parties, but only one of the two can achieve political victory and influence public policy.

I hear you but what happens when you can't tell a difference from either party?

[johniegrad]

Is FreeRepublic a Conservative Website Or Is It A Republican Website? yeah, hard to say really..... 21,000 posts on the death of anna nicole, regular feeding frenzies on "zot" threads, constant personal attacks and emotional outbursts whenever any poster so much as considers a position that questions the "win at all costs because the enemy (democrats) are the devil" brain washing.........etc. Are these the actions of conservatives and/or republicans? if so, what does this say about those who self identify as one or both, and what does this say about both........ BUMP

Have you always been so smart?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

I am a conservative Christian who is concerned about the direction of America. I happen to be registered as a Republican, but I will vote for the canidate that is closest to my belief structures.
So I am a FREEPER because there are a lot here who think like me and some that don't. Hey it don't get more American than that does it? LOL!

[Jeff Gordon]

You point being?

[nctexan]

"a true conservative will not"

I got it... We need a true litmus test to post on the site. Or better yet, to even view it.

[don-o]

you understand the tenor of the debates.

I guess. So what?

[mylife]

Ive been doing the MYO thing for about 3 mos. Screw the tax man.

Next up, Home brew!

[bluecollarman]

"If the current Rudy Wars end up driving most mainstream Republicans from this site, it will still be a conservative site, but it will be kind of a Michael Savage cheering section and not much more.

I think your crystal ball needs some work DG.

"I hope this doesn't mean no more Friday Gun Porn......"



If the New York Times labels us as a gun site who are we to argue.

On the subject though, we are a conservative site, I'm not even a republican, I just vote for them because they are more conservative than the democrats.

I have always registered as an independent. If the democrats moved to the right of the republicans, I would vote for them.

[dfwgator]

I thought it was the "All Anna Nicole All the Time" website.
