You may be right.

As we all know - there is a large contingent of Freepers many consider to be the Nannies of this site. I won’t name them or ping them, cause I am on good terms with them (you had better be or they will freep-mail around and BOOM! You get zotted)

But anyway... As soon as some libertarian slips up and claims abortion is a States Rights issue - you see “them” (me included) swarm in like flies, and before long the viking kitties are there with an IATZ.

So why this silence with drugs? I don’t really know. Clearly drugs are a moral wrong and you’d think that us “moral busybodies” would pressure them off the site. But no...

I know I would contribute a lot more if FR wasn’t so liberal, but that’s just me. But if the 2 month long FReepathons are any clue, then it does appear there are factions and problems here.

Well I think there are some Libertarians still around. But I think staying here is a simple matter of being an actual conservative or at least playing one on the net. The off the beaten path stuff like Ron Paul and being all for drug use is something that is a little out there. However these guys are good about staying in the lines by couching it in all the right terms.

Of course when you strip it down, most just want to be able to light up free and clear. And while I am all for letting anyone to unto themselves what they will, there is a much bigger picture and responsibility, a line that has to be maintained, a balance, something we conservatives grasp.

if posting this article is cause to be 'zotted', i'm just going to need clarification from higher up...

i'm interested to hear that the reason FR isn't meeting its financial goals is that people like you can't zot "liberal" people like me, and that's why people like you don't give more...have you shared this theory with The Boss?

Do you support overturning Roe v. Wade? Because if it were overturned, guess what? IT WOULD BECOME A STATES RIGHTS ISSUE.

It's called a bad economy. Of course there are factions here. Good debate what makes this a great forum. Of course, if you don't like it, feel free to start your own busybody statist message board and we'll see how many posters you attract.
