“They forgot Anti-American”

Gosh. I haven’t spent much time on FR for a couple years. I never would have dreamed that a politician who is opposed to big government, and wishes to follow the Constitution and intent of the founding fathers would be called “anti-American,” on Free Republic. Not to mention, calling the John Birch Soc., probably the strongest anti-communist organization still existing, a bunch of kooks and fascists, while admitting they know very little about it is rather bizarre, to me. I have to wonder if it’s worth coming back for a while.

Maybe the forum name should be changed to “A Little Less Free Republic”?-Glenn

The anti-RP spleen is dangerous when it spills over into a criticism of some fairly traditional and well-founded conservative ideals (limitng governemnt, reducing spending, protecting civil liberties, only getting into wars for compelling reasons of national security). These are all debatable but defensible conservative positions.

Lol...yeah, I can remember when all FReepers, including the owner of this site, were Ron Paul fans. Things change...not always for the better.
