Before they go, they have all been letting their real true feelings about FR and its conservative message fly.

Yep, many posted here for years and I guess thought they could work to incrementally drag the site leftward.

But they got greedy in pushing Rudy and now FR is firmly back to its conservative roots.

Greedy is an understatement with all the incessant "poll" posts. Sheesh, good riddance.

I kinda enjoyed them being here because it was a good example of what we are dealing with in the real world.

I know they enfluenced some of the weak freepers, but really as you can tell they were so darn rude and hateful to many.

That's why the the big party. Many were almost afraid to freep because they would swarm in and attack, and cause the poster to feel quite alone.

Now they feel good because they realize it is them in the majority, and conservative thought a priniple that really do rule the day on FR.

I guess thats why I finally got in the fight a couple months ago, I was so sick of them doing that to me.

It's no different in the real world either, no matter what you do or where you live. There is always a vocal highminded, "know\o it all" minority trying to push , (bully)there compromised agenda, usually because they are trying to be at the top. And usually there are a huge amount of silent folks either wondering what hit them, or afraid to speak up.

I have always had a fear of speaking in public. A few years ago while attending community meetings that were crucial to "private property rights" , I realised if I didn't speak up first, no one would. Turned out that there were many who felt the same way and spoke out, others heard our voices and came forward.

Same thing in the Repoublican party, I found myself at a meeting where I had always been silent and voted with the conservative outspoken leaders, and realized none were there. There were several of us very quiet intimidated conservatives sitting there facing a very few outspoken bullies. We had to speak, or let them steam roll right over us. That was a meeting where we actually accomplished a huge change to the conservative side.

I guess at 52 I am not so concerned about what others think of me anymore.

I don't think it's any sort of planned conspiracy.

I think they wanted desperately to see a GOP candidate in the White House in 2009.

Many feel only Giuliani could at least make it a horse race...given the machine driving the LEFT. We sure don't want another Robert Dole-type candidate heading the GOP ticket, do we?

I sincerely hope Fred Thompson announces soon. At least he has the popularity and charisma to take on the Clintons...if she heads their ticket.

And let's face it...Laura Bush excepted...we haven't had a hottie 1st Lady since 1961. LOL!
