Look, we’re a conservative site. We’re not here to “debate” whether or not we should elect abortionists. We’re just not going to do it. Period. Don’t like it, leave.

We shall see, won’t we?

And it would be helpful to FR’s cause if “don’t like it, leave” were the way things were handled around here. IOW, that if people get tired of being disagreed with, they leave. That’s quite different than conducting petty purges. The first-—not growing tired of advocating one’s ideas-—allows the force of one’s ideas to win (either by outright conversion of the person with another view or by attrition, that person giving up). The latter-—simply shutting up one’s opponents-—is fake victory, and that helps no one or their cause.
