A small group of fundamentalists somehow manages pressure or coerce JR to bend to their demands and drive FR to the fringe, driving off other true conservatives at a time when they are most needed to fight against the tidal wave of socialist and anti freedom agendas?

And *true conservatives* are?

How is Christianity not conservative? What distinguishes a *true* conservative from a *false* conservative, IOW, a CINO?

Yeah, like we COULD "pressure or coerce" JR...

This is truly a strawman conundrum.

The only way there is to engage this fight is through spiritual warfare. It is not men that we fight, thus we need use the power of the Holy Spirit, and the watchers if we are to see any victory.

The unbelievers that claim to be 'conservatives' have no vision of what the fight even is, and are the real "fringe."

I propose a solution to this mystery. It seems to me that the self-described "true conservatives" who are complaining about fundamentalist pressure on JimRob on this thread are actually Libertarians.

Strictly speaking, Libertarians aren't "conservatives," because they refuse to "conserve" the founding tradition of the "nation of liberty under God." They tend to object to that God part.

They simply want to banish religion from the Public Square, and that's the long and the short of it. They are the ones doing the "pressuring" of JimRob.

Well, that's just my humble opinion, for whatever it's worth.
