I wouldn't suspend or ban any poster that doesn't leave a stench behind them. Hell, I want to convert them!

You could try. If they had open minds. But many infiltrators are only here to spew liberal policy dressed up in conservative language. It's about as phony as Hitlery talking about her Christian values.

Some you might convert. Others need to be ejected because they might make converts here or their liberal views may drive conservatives off the forum if enough of them were tolerated. And some of them come here just to troll so they can run back to DU or other liberal forums to ridicule FR or spew about it being a hate site. I suspect they come here to deliberately provoke people into unseemly language so they can depict FR as a hate site. This is one of the reasons I think that our mods don't tolerate liberal baiters.

On this issue, there's no great debate for us. President Bush opposes gay marriage. So does the GOP. So will our next presidential candidate. So will all our party leaders. So do the grassroots (and a lot of Dims too). So do the hard conservatives.

Some issues really are settled policy for us. Discussing them weakens us in an election year. Our policies and priorities are set for this election cycle. I, for one, am content on this issue. But I would prefer that we actually got the amendment through the Senate and out to the states.
