"As a conservative I'm quite used to this. You should see the look on people's faces when I mention that I listen to Rush Limbaugh, and read Ann Coulter's books. BTW, has anyone here read "Persecution," by David Limbaugh? If you had, maybe you'd rethink your positions. Or maybe not."

"You are not a real FReeper, modernman. I suspect that you are a DU troll with a 1 year history. This is my last response to you. To other FReepers; read modernman's 'about' page. It should say it all. The man is a lefty."

NEWSFLASH: jim35, a man who believes himself to be a horribly oppressed and persecuted Christian, also believes himself to be the only true conservative in America. He can presently be found at FreeRepublic, where he is attmepting to educate the ignorant liberals on that forum about the nuances of righteous conservative thought. A self-proclaimed "literary lion" and "constitutional scholar," jimbo is easy to spot among the leftist morons at FR. He's the one with the beet red face and the bulging veins in his neck, pointing his finger at you. Yes you.

Good news from all your friends at the DU; they wholeheartedly agree with you! Here's a post from that site:

Preachy pilot needs new flight plan- Paynter, Seattle PI

The separation of church and flight hit another air pocket last week when the pilot of an American Airlines 767, an apparently fervent fellow with God as his co-pilot, followed his weather/altitude spiel by asking all Christians aboard to raise their hands.

(snip)

But surely, in the nervous and multiculturally touchy time since Sept. 11, you've got to wonder if pilot Rodger Findiesen's brain didn't experience a sudden loss of cabin pressure during takeoff from Los Angeles Friday.

(snip)

It wouldn't have been appropriate even before we started eyeing each other's turbans and yarmulke's warily across the aisles. And it sure isn't appropriate now.

(snip)

This is a time when, even unspoken, those little biblical prayer cards that Alaska Airlines slips in with the plastic silverware tend to polarize the frequent fliers who praise reverence among the condiments from those who resent getting a prayer like a Cracker Jack prize.

(snip)

If Capt. Findiesen believes he is on a mission from God, amen to that. Let him go forth and plant the seeds of understanding where the ears have the choice of whether to listen. And where the guy telling people to put their hands up isn't flying tons of combustible metal through the clouds..."

End DU snippet.

No, I'm not the only conservative in America, but I am one of them, and I do know when an issue is worthy of a conservative's response, and when that response is NOT so conservative.

"... jimbo is easy to spot among the leftist morons at FR. He's the one with the beet red face and the bulging veins in his neck, pointing his finger at you. Yes you..."

What's wrong... run out of logical refutations? Now you have to resort to ad hominem attacks? Somehow, I'm not surprised, though I am a bit disappointed. BTW, read modernman's 'about' page. It's very enlightening. The quotes are very much anti-conservative, and if they're tongue-in-cheek, it looks to be for the purpose of discrediting conservatives. His tactics remind me of the ones I use on the DU, where I try to stir up the sh*t among the commies. I don't mind if their trolls try the same thing here, but I'm not about to fall for it.
