I have never said Reagan was liberal.

Is making things up out of whole cloth part of your 'conservatism?'

“Some of the posters have been here for a long time but I never knew they were so liberal minded. They hid it very well over the years..”

No. They didn’t even try to hide it. I’m a class of ‘98 freeper and there has always been a very loud and noxious cadre of liberals here. They usually supported the party establishment, which is far more liberal than the grassroots. That’s why most of them supported President Bush’s poorest decisions, Alberto Gonzalez, open borders, Harriett Miers, ect..and they would be on the left side of every discussion about abortion, gays, or political correctness tyranny.

Since liberals are emotional creatures, they escalate very quickly. They don’t respond to facts and won’t even take on a post of more than a few lines, calling it “spam.” They quickly go to thrashing about and calling names, or using repetition. Once they get emotional, since being a liberal is what they are, not what they believe, they can’t put the brakes on. You saw people here that didn’t know when to shut up, or when to control their urge to tear down the man who runs the forum, or when to stop posting lies about other candidates or Ronald Reagan or whatever. No emotional brakes...

A few months back, this forum was being taken over by them. I went and spent some time at Liberty Post because here, a different liberal was dominating and policing every thread. I actually thought they were organizing. It was bad...

Many of them can’t stand us. I have no idea why they are Republicans. I guess it’s the east coast/cosmopolitan thing. It takes all kinds. It truly takes a coalition to win and be viable, but somebody here said it, we must make our philosophy acceptable to others, not surrender and be like the Democrats.

Rudy Giuliani has done us all a service because he has brought the contempt for social and religious conservatives out into the open.

“However, the GOP as currently constituted believes that it their duty to impose “Judeo Christian” values (as they interpret them) on everyone.”

Dang, that sounds like it’s right out of the WashCompost. Is this the same GOP that’s establishment is currently behind Giuliani who supports abortion, extragay rights, restrictions on guns and open borders?

For starters, you've also been defending Rudy Giuliani`s liberal record as Mayor of NYCity, on conservative Free Republic for quite some time. Now, whether you will vote for Rudy or not, is still not clear.

You're looking for a confrontation with me. I'm NOT gonna give you total satisfaction. But I will answer two points you posted.

>>>>>But to compare Reagan to "Bush43" in your view is wrong?

That's what I said and that's what I've told you before. Dubya has done fine on social issues, tax cuts and with appointment of justices. He's done okay in the WOT. Iraq is progressing. We shall see. But Bush43 is no Reagan. Period.

More importantly, comparing Rudy Giuliani to Ronald Reagan is an insult to the Reagan legacy. Rudy is a liberal. Reagan was a conservative.

>>>>>>LOL! Sounds like political correctness to me.

Sounds like you can't tell the difference of right from wrong, good from great, and liberal from conservative. So be it.

You are truly a juvenile . What ‘principle’ do you stand on? Is it “I will flash my stupidity every chance I get”?

To: processing please hold

*stunned silence* - Well, read Aristotle, then, both thick volumes of “Complete works”, Princeton/Bollingen series LXXI - and I promise that you’ll be even more stunned. For example, you will learn that the fart and the burp are the same thing [but proceeding differently] - the former the “lower breath”, the latter - the upper. [”Problemata, 33. 9]. Ponder the profundity of it, for it is far from a superficial statement. Aristotle’s texts are not to be read glibly, but pondered.

In fact, an argument could be made that since he is anti 2nd Amendment, our National Security could suffer.

And that includes RINOs.

Did Reagan cut and run from Lebanon?

Seems to me that Bush is more Reagan than Reagan.

I’m not keen on hyperbole, so your absurd reference to 1939 did not sit well with me. Now you’re trying to justify that comment. Unbelievable. Again, given your anger lately, I’m not surprised, but hey, it’s your choice.
