Was Goldwater a conservative? Was he pro-life? For gay rights? Just asking.

Good question for the Rudy supporters.
To: johniegrad
It's definitely a conservative website not affiliated with any party.
Reality dictates that the only national politicians will come from the GOP, so there is a slant that way out of mere pragmatism if nothing else.
If the current Rudy Wars end up driving most mainstream Republicans from this site, it will still be a conservative site, but it will be kind of a Michael Savage cheering section and not much more.

I am first an American.
Most of my politics is conservative,but I am not blind to any political discussion or point of view.
I support the military and I support the President of the United States,although I sometimes disagrre with him, mainly on his blind charge to allow the Mexican invasion.
My opinions are my own and I enjoy seeing other people's opinions in Free Republic.

Conservative. Definitely. Although there are a lot of trolls who are trying to divide the cause.
To: johniegrad
Right now, it's a conservative website with 25% of the posters pushing a Blue zone RINO social liberal for POTUS. It blows in the wind, no telling what the flavor will be a month from now.

I have thought of it as a pro-Constitution website.

It is a Conservative website that the Republicans keep trying to infiltrate with RINOS. It is less conservative now than 6 years ago but still the best place for Conservative types.

Insofar as it is a conservative website, it must also be a Republican website. True conservatives do not dwell in the mythical realm of utopian "conservative" idealism, where no actual human candidate will ever live up to our expectations. Conservatives enter the ring to duke it out, they don't stand on the sidelines and criticize.

I would say it's a conservative/little l libertrian web site....kinda like NAtional Review.

I am a conservative Christian who is concerned about the direction of America. I happen to be registered as a Republican, but I will vote for the canidate that is closest to my belief structures.
So I am a FREEPER because there are a lot here who think like me and some that don't. Hey it don't get more American than that does it? LOL!

I think FR is a conservative web but it's enlightened and perceptive enough to recognize there are different views held within the conservative family. If anyone is curious, I can give an example of a "conservative" web that's only concerned with official GOP talking points and sound bites - and the moderators act like gestapo agents if a poster deviates from their own party line.

I think you'd have to ask its maker. The discussions, however, are both, with some libertarian thrown in as well.

Jim says it's a conservative site. Nowhere in the statement does he even mention Republican Party.
Having said that, I have seen Jim state many times that the current best vehicle for conservatives is the Republican Party, and that no Democrat supports the broad issues that are defining and most important for conservatives.

I'm just sick of being told that as a conservative I must continually give in to the liberal wing of the Republican Party and that it's "our fault" that the Democrats get elected. As far as I am concerned this is wrong. It's the fault of the Republicans for insisting on giving us socialists, like both Bushes, as candidates. The current crop are even more socialistic. But once again the debate will be twisted to blame the conservatives for not giving in to the more liberal types. I'm heartily sick of it.
If we lose the fault is squarely on the shoulders of the people who continue to give us "conservative" candidates who spend money in a way that a drunken sailor would find offensive. And as a proud ex-drunken sailor I am offended at being compared to the current run of the Republican Party's lavish out of control pols.
It's time for the liberal Republicans to compromise for a change.

FR is a conservative electronic bulletin board, but Rudy has done more for conservatism than FR has ever done.
To: johniegrad
Just curious....are you angling to have Rudy supporters kicked off this site, or just shut up?
To: johniegrad
If it is now a "Conservative Principle" to not vote and allow liberals to take control of Congress so they can stab the American soldier in the back during a time of war, then to many here it is still a "Conservative" website.
I just never read that in the Reagan Revolution Manual.

It's a conservative website. Note the many Freepers who can't stand Guiliani.
