Let’s see, I’m a single mom, so I am 100% pro-life and I walk the talk. I also believed in Terri Schiavo’s right to live. I’m not on any state assistance even though that would have been the easier route to take, while I’m building my own business - which makes me responsible for my actions, and shows that I believe in free market and entrepreneurial attitude of living in this country - wow that’s a twofer right there and by the way I don’t rely on others donating to keep my lights on, or any portion of my business running. No child support either - which if you look at threads on child support are overwhelmingly men bellyaching about the system, or 2nd wives upset at how much they don’t get because of the children.
I reject a cult member for my presidential choice - but I do it based on my own religious beliefs - hmmm, that must make me God fearing.
I am 100% not in favor of any specialized legislation for homosexuals - I do however feel there are many decent if not deceived gay people who need help and hope and a way out. So there’s a little bit of the compassionate conservative in me.
The person who introduced me to this site was my dad. A Korean vet and proud patriot until he died two years ago.
I love a good long island ice tea - and a not always church friendly word or two. I live in Orange County, so I can’t claim redneck as easily as you can, but I can claim conservative and I proudly observe my 2nd amendment right.
I reject McCain before I reject Rudy - I reject Rudy in favor of Duncan Hunter, but I believe that our best hope is in Fred. So take the attitude of “you’re a liberal if you don’t agree with me” and put that energy into rebuilding a conservative forum that may have some influence if you can rebuild it in time.
Don’t get suckered into the new names who think they have you on their side now…make it a conservative site where disagreeable people can agreeably find common ground as well grassroots folks being able to agree to disagree with each other about the fine points or candidates.
Too late...
I used to think that myself, even stated such in a vanity post.
However, the more I've learned about Rudy, the more I've realized that he, not McCain, is the one pubbie candidate (other than Hagel if he announces) that I could not vote for in the general.
And I see you are also aka whatdoesanamemean, jennifer_ca FethFiada, onepotato_two, irishsdgirl, et al, aka justche a person who threatened FR with some sort of legal action. Whatever. You can do that from some other forum.
I have been reading for what seems like hours to catch up on this thread...
You are too well informed on the history and principles of FR to be a real one month member.
Perhaps you should leave ... or ... maybe take your “old name back”?
