What has happened to Free Republic
Me | Me

Posted on 11/19/2001 2:03:57 PM PST by FF578

Has anyone noticed that the Liberal influence has spread here into Free Republic. I notice that less and less Conservatives seem to post here, and more and more Libertarians seem to be.

I get a letter from someone named NYpeanut who is mad because I posted a discussion based on the Gender Gap in voting.

I didn't make it up, there is really a huge Gender gap with Female Voters tending toward the more liberal candidate. The discussion went well without name calling, but this person seems to have taken issue to the fact that I pointed out women seem to vote more liberally than men.

All those who are newbies here are considered disruptors, and those who hold a more right-winged view than the average libertarian seem to be kicked out.

Why is this? Is this a Libertarian site now?

I have noticed more and more posters standing up for Abortion, Homosexuality, the Porn Industry and Drugs since I first came to this site back before the 2000 Election.

Are Christian Conservatives(Who make up a large part of the Republican core vote) not allowed here anymore?

Just because one holds to a higher power, and wishes to shape society in accordance with the laws of Almighty God, does not make one a Taliban Milita member.

Holy sanctimonious radicals . . ."

No radical is more sanctimonious than a fanatical fundmentalist authoritarian . And you are way off base. I seek to convert no one. I declare the bright line and stand firm on the good and traditional side of it. If that enrages the authoritarian sewer lovers, so be it.

Get this clear: I'm not responsible for your or anyone else's "conversion." You and they are. Solely.

Personal responsibility: it's a libertarian thing. Authoritarians ought to try it sometime.

I am totally disgusted with how most women vote. But I am right there with the conservative men and trying to influence other women. They do not think half the time-- just rely on the liberal news media for their ideas which is dripping with liberalism... It is sickening.

If I'm not mistaken, Jim Rob used to be a Liberaterian.

I think he has registered as Republican, but, maybe he still agrees that the views of all should be "aired"

Just a thought.

Don't you think that drugs and pharmacoactive natural substances are on earth for us to use--to use wisely? The problem is not the drugs themselves but the misuse of them.

Aspirin is useful and rather safe, but it can be fatal if abused. Curare was a poison but has found valuable uses in anaesthesia, tetanus therapy, et al. Heroin is certainly dangerous and horrifying when abused, but for incurable and intractable pain it could be a godsend.

I think you agree with this, Fatima; don't you?

It seems with all this dissention, a great new party of American patriots is on the horizon.

I must say, I am truthfully sick of some of these so called conservatives that run from the real huge issues like our out of control immigration invasion, both legal and illegal.

Well NYPeanut, I've been here much longer than you, and frankly I'm sick and tired of the self-serving sanctimonius CRAP that gets posted such as this.

With all due respect, usconservative, when one appeals to his age in an argument, it is usually an admission of not having anything to say.

I am sorry that you do not see the essense: NYPeanut was "outed" by the indiscretion of the person to whom she had sent a private e-mail. Subsequently, she merely responded to the hearsay distributed by him. In such cases, a healthy community has to defend the one who is wronged. You not only do not do that, you do not even see who the wronged person is.

Finally, your use of four-letter words like c--- debases both the language and your argument sufficiently; there is no further need to shout by capitalize it.

If I were a woman and I decided that the right thing to do would be to have an abortion, for whatever reason, I certainly would not ask Big Brother for his opinion.

Would you ask the little baby?

Thus, morality belongs to the political arena and not exclusively in the church.

Morality is the measure of the law, and we will each measure it and judge it according to our own moral beliefs. The problem is some people use morality and law interchangeably and end up trying to use the law as the measure of peoples morality.

Then stomp on its ashes and dissolve them in aqua regia and flush the whole thing down the toilet.

You get fifteen democrats in a room, and you get twenty opinions.

I wish I could say the same for the democrats I've met. They all have the exact same opinion on every topic.

Well, I'm a relative newbie, I guess.

I also fall into the trap of not living in the US.. So therefore, I can't contribute much to localised politicising that many engage in.

I also have a sense of humour (at least, I think I do) so this thread...for a start is hill-feckin'-larious (before the postin' police come after me!!!! That's an indigious Irish term, alright?????? *L*)

And lastly, if you are right, and you know you are right, what the hell are you afraid of by a thought process that is not quite so `right' as yours? (That is just a question). I consider myself conservative...but I'm a few steps away before I declare myself God. ~havin' that said, I am rather heavenly~ *L*

It may just be that FR has become THE place to be!

Ah, the welcome opportunity to sink my teeth into the mind-muddled masses who comprise the democrats, the liberals, the whining RINOS, and my favorite snack: "the media."

You're awfully new here to be whining right off; maybe if you had been here longer, you'd know that these things come and go.

And they don't call for a vanity post about it.

And if you ever SHARE private email again, please have the deceny the FLAG the person you plan on ragging.

"We don't do well putting people in little boxes."

And they are foolish if they let us.

I hate boxes and labels--especially when they are applied to me.

Paradigms shift and merge and change, and clever people move easily from one paradigm to another.

As we grow, our paradigms change, and so do we. And wise people grow constantly and sometimes fast.

Never let anyone lock you into a paradigm or a role.

You reserve the right to define yourself!

And if someone else doesn't like it--if everyone else doesn't like it--too bad.

You do with your graphics what she did with her words.
