I get embarrassed, as a Republican, by some of the rabid zealots who post here. It's truly a shame some of us can't tone down the hostility and try to be civil to those we disagree with.
Eh, it’s just the rabid fringe. It’s the same folks, or type of folks who were hardcore Buchanan and Keyes supporters.
In many ways, they are no different than rabid liberals - if you don’t walk in lockstep with them, you are either stupid, evil, both - or you want to see the country fail, civilization collapse, or (insert hysterical insult of your choice here).
Every once in awhile, I step away from FR and other sites, and take in the world of realism.
You keep referring to people as republicans here. Big mistake. This is a conservative forum not a republican one. Thought you knew that. Might be good for you to go to the home page and read the FR mission statement again to refresh your mind on this.
Every time you and your republican buddies dis so called “zealots” here on FR you might want to think about who you are talking about...
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 this is the republican party I belong to. If the republicans want to throw the conservatives out of the party, well, say hello to Hillary Rodman, the next POTUS!
