I don't respect liberals, even if they are Freepers.
Let's review why I think you are a liberal (or at least, a closeted one), shall we?
Your words, verbatim:
"As for the Republican party, the Party is not moving in the conservative direction. Things change. We also don't toss virgins into volcanos anymore."

The political spectrum is a single line that runs from conservatism (right) to the mushy middle to liberalism (left). If you're not moving towards the right, you're either moving towards the center or the left; furthermore, your assertion that "things change...we also don't toss virgins into volcanos (sic) anymore" in the same section as "...the Republican Party...is not moving in the conservative direction..." contains a subtle implication that conservatism is outdated and primitive, akin to throwing virgins into volcanoes.
The only other place I hear that traditional morality (e.g. The Bible) is "outdated" is from the liberals that have taken over the mainline denomination to which I used to belong. So, guess who I associate you with!
Oh, and here's another curious gem:
Your words, verbatim:
"To state that any vote McCain made is the senate eclipses his performance as a prisoner of war in Vietnam is to vomit liberalism."

So, are you suggesting that simply because McCain was a POW, his later "performance" is not open for question or debate? Are you suggesting that McCain's experience as a POW is some sort of "Get Out of Jail Free" card for his later actions in the Senate upon returning to the United States and entering the civilian world?
Okay, so let's cut to the chase: based on those two comments, as well as your attempt to discredit me simply because I'm a college student, I have good reason to doubt whether you are actually a conservative at all, and hence why I have very little respect for you, posting on a conservative (not necessarily Republican) forum.
So, care to explain why your comments raise all sorts of red flags? Or, perhaps, to rephrase yourself so that I may get a better idea of whom I'm talking with?
(Oh, and by the way, McCain is not just a veteran of the armed forces but a politician, a public servant, and a public figure, and as such is open to mockery, ridicule, and questioning, including by folks like me. Veterans do not receive "Get Out of Jail Free" cards to do whatever they want after they leave the service; the only folks who do deserve the level of respect that you believe they should be accorded are those who are MIA or KIA and are unable to speak for themselves.)
Also, try not to refer to other Freepers (like the folks I ping) as "orcs" (source), since quite a few of them have been here for far longer than you have.
As for the true believers on FR, (those who I think in their hearts agree with Jim Robinson's pronouncement on 23 March that "that bastard McCain is a traitor"), I predict they will come back to their senses, even people like diva Michelle Malkin, will shake their talking heads that they even had a McCain logo on THEIR anti-illegal immigration website at some time, and will be accepted back into the fold of clear thinking and rational decisions based on moral principles. They may have to wash their hands five or ten times, gargle with listerine, spit out the gargle, stare in the mirror and say "what was I thinkin'!" We will just have to be a little patient until these friends of ours get it our of their systems and the prodigals return home. Home to FR. The FR I once knew.
