"The biggest common factor that the banned freepers and the sturdier Rudy promoters still here share, is an intolerance for social conservatives, and the faithful."

I wonder if you have put your finger on the real crux of this thing. Is that what is going on here, is support for Giuliani being used as a lever to rid FR of those who aren't social conservatives? To make this a primarily "social conservative" site? To make a declaration that it isn't conservatism if it isn't social conservatism?

No
No

I’m a fiscal conservative. I’m a political conservative.
I’m a social conservative.

Not used as a lever, JR has decided to unite FR in an effort to defeat Giuliani, that naturally forced to the surface many of the anti-social conservative bunch, many of whom stormed out when their agendas were thwarted, and their motives exposed.

It is largely a reassertion of conservatism, and a statement that it is time to get involved in the Primary race.
