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.
More disturbing to me is the way a whole bunch of RINOs who are racist Dem apologists seem to be allowed to run wild on this forum. Many of them spend their SOLE time on this forum to post vanities proclaiming anyone with an "R" next to their name is a "marxist"-- then go on the next thread and talk about how great life was under a bunch of segregationalist 'RATS. I don't understand why some minor posts listed under the "wrong" catergory" get pulled, but garbage like this is allowed on the forum; it certainly doesn't help "promote" conservativism or improve our image:
Abraham Lincoln: America's Greatest War Criminal [In addition to pledging they will "spit on his grave", several "Republicans" insist only "history revisionists" believe Woodrow Wilson gave us the income tax instead of Lincoln. Gee, we better leave those nice WWI-era Democrats alone]
Confederate flag down, scalawag Jeb Bush faces fight [A.K.A. "Republicans for native Floridans RENO/CHILES" thread. Some "conservatives" even talk about how great ol' Lawton "Gore recount court" Chilies was on this thread]
Man From Hope: ZELL MILLER (Nominee Sought for Golden Balls Award-- Courage in Politics) ["Conservatives" fall all over themselves to insist pro-abort Miller is "more right-wing than most of the Republican Senators from up north"]
Senator Byrd's cameo just a start"> [ <-- RINO Shucksmaster expresses glee that the senial old liberal Senator and "former" KKK member Byrd will appear as in civil war uniform to celebrate West Virgina's "hertiage"]
I want a real conservative for president [A bunch of Bush-hating "Republicans" have a bashing fest against the "war monger" here, although none of them were around to back Keyes, it seems...]
Spielberg shows darker side of saintly Lincoln Rumor had it that big DNC contributor Stevie Spielberg was going to defame the first Republican president as evil incarante to get even at the GOP for "destroying President Clinton" RINOs expressed delight that Spielberg would reveal "the truth" about Abe, which they were ready to beat down the door to see the film, several RINOs even went as far to claim Speilberg was a "conservative patriot" who's Saving Private Ryan "was made to attack the left"
Giuliani's third term (What New York can ask from Michael Bloomberg Drivel from the London Times talking about how great RINO Bloomberg is. Several self-proclaimed conservatives on this forum were overcome with joy that "former" Democrat (he switched to the GOP a few monthes before the election solely because the Dem slot was too crowded) was such a victory of the GOP. RINOs marveled at his ablity to win over Jews, minorities, and registed Democrats (gee, I wonder why that is?)
Other NON-conservative articles celebrated on freerepublic include many threads I can't find because I forgot the exact wording, but included such gems as "Condit is the son a baptist preacher and a true conservative-- the media should lay off him" , <-- paraphrased) the " we must perserve Fritz Holling's (arrogant libDem from S.C.) legacy" , the "Roy Barnes is a GREAT governor" apologist thread, the various threads talking about how Bobby & Jack Kennedy were "real conservatives" , the various "U.S. Grant was EVIL" threads , the "NRA was founded by people who destoryed the bill of rights" thread, the "Rethink the civil rights act of 1964" (article actually argued that the law passed by Senators Dirksen and Williams to outlaw public segregation was bad, and Byrd, Gore, and Ervin had the right idea), the "Jesse Helms is a UN-loving stooge" hate piece, and the ever popular "Bob Smith is an idiot who must be kicked out of office " and the "we hope Earley loses cause we hate him and Gilmore" threads (the RINOs got their wish on that one).
Even though I can't locate any of the above trash, that's just fine with me because I hope they never see the light of day on this forum again.
And that's why the liberals hated him. Liberals loved it when the typical conservative was a grumpy ultra-serious type. So Reagan comes on the scene and he is laughing AT their foibles....and they really hated that. A lot of the old line conservatives don't even realize how clueless they are. Many of them probably condemned Sam Kinison for foul language without actually LISTENING to what he said.
Compared to the 'author' of this post, you're an old timer.
Care to enlighten me?
I'm not a Libertarian Party member but I never heard that they were opposed to using force against the terrorists. OTOH, I am sure a lot of old line conservatives would have condemned Ben Franklin for writing why it is advantageous to make it with older women.
Its members seem more like libertines than Libertarians!
"Comment #3 Removed by Moderator". This was once posted by an obvious liberal, Northman who I don't know how to locate now that he was erased. Nonetheless, if you would care to get a feel for general reaction to a leftist on our ground, read the reactions which obviously are in tact Bush Country, America .*
*Following all of the reactions to Northman may not be a good idea for you moderates.
Glad it wasn't true.
Sorry but most of them just weren't all that religious. Not Franklin, not Washington, and not Jefferson. They weren't anti-religion but they just weren't too religious for the most part.
Perhaps you should get out of the history books more?
