I agree with you. I think it is because the real conservatives don't like being exposed to the often times filthy language that is pointed at them as liberals and ungodly libertarians shout them down. Seems I remember from Jim Robinson's purpose of this board is not to debate these issues since we all know what the conservative stance is. I quote;

“In what may be a shock to some and especially to certain liberals and disrupters, Free Republic was not created to "debate" liberal ideas or policy or to allow the liberals and moderates the advantage of setting the subject or tone of the discussion. For example, there is absolutely no need to debate the subjects of homosexuality or racism or federal control over education, health, welfare and the environment, or globalism, or gun control, or social security, or any of the other hundreds of touchy feely causes that our detractors use as bait to trap us and to rob us of our freedom. I'd just as soon none of it even appears on the pages of Free Republic at all, other than to expose the lying politicians and media. Debate on these issues leads only to compromise. And when we are speaking of the larger concepts of equality under the law, separation of powers, self government, Freedom, and Liberty there can be no room for debate or compromise. “

I noticed that too, anytime you post something that someone disagrees with, you get shouted down and compared to the taliban.

If I say I support the Drug War, and Anti-Homosexual Laws, and Anti-Abortion Laws, then I will get a hundred posts from Libertarians calling me a Taliban and telling me to get the burquas (sp).

'...And when we are speaking of the larger concepts of equality under the law, separation of powers, self government, Freedom, and Liberty there can be no room for debate or compromise...'

I agree, that is precisely why that even when George Bush, or a so-called conservative republican, or liberal democrat, attempts to/ or does, trample on the Constitution or Bill of Rights, then I will make the effort to inform as many Freedom Loving people as possible.

I agree with you. I think it is because the real conservatives don't like being exposed to the often times filthy language that is pointed at them as liberals and ungodly libertarians shout them down.

First of all, any filthy langauge used on this site gets pulled and chronic offenders get the boot. And second, the conservatives are just as capable of dishing insults as the libertarians - I wish I had a time for everytime I saw authoritarian conservatives call libertarians pot-heads and druggies for their stance on the war on (some) drugs. I am against the war on drugs and I don't use illegal drugs - but many authoritarians call me a druggie anyway. So don't whine so hard about the flames - because both sides spray the flames about.

I believe that there are also many just like me that read FR daily, but usually don't take the time to post a reply or opinion. Many days, I use this and Drudge as my news sources ( what is one to do? Use ABC CBS NBC or the Clinton News Network for news) I appreciate Fr and what it's purpose is. I also watch for the dem's trying to sneak in and post their hog-wash, we really do need to know what the opposition thinks so we can be sure to override it with truth.

Wow! If you live long enough, you get to see everything. Today, I have seen this in your quote:

Freedom, and Liberty there can be no room for debate...

Thus, "Freedom and Liberty" together with "no room for debate." Really wonderful.

You want liberty? Then shut up, the damn slave: then you'll understand what I mean by my freedom and my liberty.

These views are not of a conservative: as expressed, they lie a notch to the right of those held by a dictator.

Well, I don't agree with that statement. In fact, I think it's downright tacky and doesn't help the debate on here along at all.

Now, since I don't agree with you, does that mean I'm not a REAL conservative?
