It’s amazing that you’ve been a member of FR for a long time and yet you seem to know very little about it’s mission. Maybe this will help...

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.
How many times must I say FR is a conservative site? We do not support abortionism, homosexualism, feminisim, environmentalism, gun control, liberalism, socialism, etc, etc, etc. When I say I suspect we will become even more conservative than we already are, possibly via attrition if nothing else, what do you think I’m referring to? When FR starts pushing hard and I mean hard against abortion, gay marriage, homosexual education forced on our school children, pandering to illegal aliens, gun control, McCaine-Feingold type usurpation, global warming, etc, etc, even if supported or advanced by the GOP, then I fully suspect certain types of moderate/liberal Republican supporters are probably going to be a little uncomfortable here. We will be fighting for traditional American conservatism no matter who we have to fight against and I’m afraid that’s going to piss off some folks.
And I’ll borrow a slogan used by the NFRA that I realy like:
“We are the ‘Republican’ Wing of the Republcan Party!”

Now, who’s disgusting who?
Think you’re disgusted now? Wait till you find out- again- that America isn’t buying what you zealots are selling.
The good news is that everyone on Freerepublic will again be on the same page critizing the elected Democrat President starting after the second Tuesday in November 2008.
The bad news is America will be screwed.
Advancing a conservative agenda and trying to destroy the character of other conservative Republicans are two different things. Some here need to take a deep breath and read up on a few debating points that will help you get your message across in a civil manner. Name calling and casting dispersions on your opponents is a losing proposition and makes you look loutish and foolish to unsuspecting lurkers who come here to inform themselves on important issues of the day.
