I like Iwo Jima’s post about FR as it relates to this thread.

I think that where this is leading is that those who have used FreeRepublic to push something fundamentally contrary to the concept of conservatism have lost their springboard for pushing their views. They will have to go to some other forum to advocate their positions.
I am a libertarian who votes Republican most of the time and identifies with conservatism most of the time. Posting on FreeRepublic has never been a problem for me because, to the extent that there is any divergence between my libertarian views and the prevailing conservative views of this website, I do not use this forum to advance any contradictory positions.
That’s really not so hard to absorb, is it?

Except for the fact that the Libertarian Party is against defending ourselves in the War on Terror, and the libertarians are typically pro-abortion, pro-gay rights, and pro-drugs, they fit right in here.
The Libertarians appear to be in agreement with Rudy on everything except the War, aren’t they?
Thanks! I was actually looking for that very post, more than once. I could not find it because this thread is so unwieldy.
I’m copying it here again so I don’t have to remember who wrote it (which was one reason I couldn’t find it last time).
Good Post, Iwo Jima.
