Well, this site is unabashedly and exclusively pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-country, pro-liberty and pro-constitution. There is absolutely nothing on that list that I’m willing to surrender, negotiate on or compromise away. When people decide that they’re going to fight us on any of those issues, they’re very likely to get the zot. Just depends on how seriously they wish to challenge us. They can always exercise their free speech “rights” on big tent Hannity’s site (or elsewhere) where RINOs are welcome and compromise is the in thing.
Abortionists, homosexualists, wacko environmentalists, militant feminists, pacifists, gun-grabbers, globalists, statists, liberals, progressives, socialists, communists, Marxists, traitors, cowards, RINOs, and other assorted and sundry leftist or political whores can all stay the hell off of FR!!

I haven't been on FR long but I can understand (and admire) your stance on this.
Having said that, I do agree with some of the comments upthread and have made this point before: whether you agree with this view or not, the perception outside of FR is that the ZOT comes down awful fast in this place... it put me off joining for a very long time and that's based on being on other talkboards full of right wingers who told me, "I just wasn't right wing enough".
Actually, that gives me an idea. Every time you ZOT an aspiring conservative with an open mind but who could be an asset to the cause with a little bit of steering in the right direction, you're making a conscious decision to sending them over to the RINO conversion shops - Hannity's or the Daily Mail forums in the UK - or worse, to left wing talkboards like Guardian Talk.
So since you're doing that already and it pleases you to do so, AND they do get advertising revenue, have you thought of charging them a commission for referrals?!
None of them are FR's management or moderators, but they seem to think that they're in charge of who is a conservative and who is not, and Jim, they use your name all the time....
The next time I get into a spat with one, I will definitely point them in the direction of this post.
