I was going to post this on a recent opus thread, but it was locked before I could hit the post button...
Why, pray tell, should Jim support a flaming liberal like Rudy Giuliani? Why should he tolerate posters on
his site who promote views that are 180° out of phase with his own? Jim has posted
a mission statement for the site. It lists conservatism's goals and objectives. Giuliani has not supported any of those stated goals in any of his public statements or in any of his actions while in office. Furthermore, I have seen "conservatives" on this site supporting outrageously liberal points of view in their zeal to support Giuliani. (I actually saw one poster, and not a n00b at that,
praising New York City's gun laws!)
This is Jim's site and it is an expression of his vision of what conservatism ought to be. The rest of us are posting here because we agree with that vision. We don't agree on all points, that would be impossible, but we share a core set of beliefs. Giuliani doesn't share that set of core beliefs with us. Many of his supporters on this forum used to share those beliefs. They jettisoned those beliefs in their mania to support Giuliani. The more disruptive members of that group have, understandably, been shown the door.
