>>>>>I didn't realize you spoke for all of FR.

I'd say my politics are consistently conservative and speak to the goals and objectives of Free Republic as laid out by its Founder. Your politics appear to be coming from a different perspective then mine. Therefore, I sense you're feeling a bit uncomfortable and rightly so. Read on.

“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.”

Because I don't agree with the tactics of the purge does not equate to my not being a conservative. Maybe it's a matter of degrees between you and me, and that's okay. That's what the human condition is all about. But, yes, I do feel uncomfortable when even fellow conservatives are being fed to the shredder for daring to speak up over the process that is already under way.
