there are some things that are simply ‘non-negotiable’ under any circumstances, period.
***And those things are... pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-limited government. Period!!,
But does FR really operate that way? Do we allow trinitarian heretics to operate openly on FR? Yes. Is there a pro-choice contingent on FR? Yes Are there anti-constitutionalists (hint: look through Certifigate threads)? Yes. Are there BigGuvmint RINOS openly operating on FR? Yes.
If we can’t properly corral those anticonservatives here on FR, we won’t do it in the GOP.

I would like to see a VOLUNTARY idealogy litmus matrix here on Free Republic, but when I proposed it to Jimrob, he called me a newbie.

To: babygene I don’t think he’s all that interested.
To: MHGinTN It doesn’t matter what a FReeper thinks. It’s just a list that they tell us what they think. That way we can tell who we’re dealing with.

To: Jim Robinson Hah hah, that’s great. I signed up 2 months after you and I’m a newbie. Back then no one even said, “Welcome to FR”. But yeah, I do think that there are tons of RINOs. To be more accurate, the term would be CINOs.
I’ve been pushing for an idealogical litmus matrix here on FR, not to get rid of RINOs but to expose them.
THE GOP DOESN’T WANT US- SO WHAT’S NEXT?

***It simply takes too long. Look at this thread alone. I see evidence of RINOism in some of the FReepers on this thread. It takes 700 posts to drill down. We need the matrix posted and available so that we don’t have to drill down on every FReeping thread. They’re wasting our time. Deliberately.
Agreed to a large degree. Perhaps a way to rate members by other members???

“litmus matrix”
Wouldn’t that rid FR of extremist-conservatives, i.e., those who would want mass-killings of dims/liberals/left-wingers/progressives/socialists/communists/totalitarians/RINOs, etc.? In my mind they are all synonyms but.....
The locals, the FBI, NSA, Obemba’s civilian national police force or whatever he calls it, probably the CIA and who knows which other countries and/or terrorist organizations already have their sights on FR. With your suggestion ‘they’ could simply weed-out those who pose no threat to their agenda and focus on what they would consider to be the ‘hard-liners’. Let them ‘drill down’ and browse through the posts to find whatever it is that they want to find.
Does FR want to open the book for those who are already watching, reading and ‘listening’? I do not think that FR wants to do that. I and I am sure, many others do not want FR to do that, including JimRob. Maybe that was on his mind when he dismissed your idea.
( One newbie to another “Newbie” ), ;-) “Newbie” or not, your suggestion is a good one but on the surface only and only on one edge of the sword. There are always two edges to a sword. I do not like the other edge. No offense meant.
