social conservatives which is the very litmus test that is the topic of this thread.

I suggest you read the topic again, and the early part of the thread. This post from Jim Robinson, for example:

Where did I ever say that social issues trump national security or that FR was a “social conservative” only site.

FR is a conservative site. We’re not just social conservative or just fiscal conservative. We are conservative period. I don’t think you can be a half conservative and half liberal. You’re either a conservative or your not. If you are fiscally conservative, but socially liberal you’re a liberal. If you are socially conservative but a fiscal liberal then you are a liberal. If you readily embrace and promote liberalism whether socially liberal or fiscally liberal, then you are a liberal. Giulianni is a liberal, socially and fiscally. Most likely, you are a liberal too. Giuliani’s support for taxpayer funded abortion and utter contempt for the constitution makes him a rotten to the core socialist.

FR is pro-God, pro-life, pro-liberty, pro-gun, pro-constitution, pro-private property, pro-individual rights, pro-national defense, pro-limited government, pro-limited spending, pro defense, pro sovereignty, pro-America, etc, etc. We are opposed to abortionism, feminism, socialism, big government, big spending, activist judges, run away government, corruption, authoritarianism, tyranny, totalitarianism, etc.

And we are totally opposed to liberals running for office from the Republican party.

nice red herring, there hasn’t been a single poster on this thread that was kicked off that I have seen for being an economic liberal, 99% of FReepers are not economic socialists. The issue that has distinguished all of the people that are persona non grata are those pushing socially liberal viewpoints, and saying that Rudy is acceptable or even the preferred nominee.

My point is that libertarians are typically fiscally conservative, and socially liberal. They are the very people that are part of the FR community that this thread was intended to silence from stating those views.
