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've had similar experiences. By far the most rudeness that has been personally directed at me has been from the pro-police state conservatives on this site. They are certainly welcome to their opinions, but resorting to name calling and flaming never struck me as being too persuasive. I ignore most of it as unworthy of reply, and advise others to do the same.

In case you didnt notice the term druggie is not a filthy word.

Amazing how many people would be surprised at the number of wealthy successful conservative attorneys, physicians, and business owners who were leftist junkies in college.
