Correction: Many people who supported liberal causes like abortion or abortionist candidates were banned or left because FR is a conservative website and as such is staunchly pro-life, pro-God, pro-family, pro-liberty, pro-constitution, pro-limited government, pro-security, pro-defense and pro-America.
FR's entire reason for being is to promote conservative candidates and conservative causes. Liberals and moderates are shunned. Of course FR admin favors conservative candidates! Wouldn't have it any other way.
Posters who favor abortion, gay marriage, gun grabbing, restrictions on religious freedoms, open borders, etc, or favor big government, entitlements, confiscatory taxation, social engineering, weakened security or defenses, etc, or favor candidates who take these non-conservative positions are probably pretty uncomfortable here as they feel the heat of thousands of conservatives objecting to their moderate/liberal posts.
One such poster went so far as to suggest that conservatives have held their boot to the neck of the GOP for far too long and that abortion, God, guns and gays will never ever be important planks to the GOP again.
Got news for all who think this way. Eliminate any of these conservative planks and the GOP goes poof. Without traditional conservatism, the GOP means nothing. A party made up of McArnolds, McRudys and McRomneys is worthless. Just say no to big government moderate "conservatism."
The GOP is not even a fiscally conservative party anymore. And many top Republicans are now pushing global warming, gay rights, open borders, big government, big spending, etc. Suggest the party gets back to Reagan conservatism before it's too late.

Thanks for saying this Jim!
These cafeteria conservatives always want to identify themselves as "Goldwater conservatives," but what they fail to realize is that Goldwater was a COMPLETE FAILURE as a presidential candidate. Goldwater did WORSE in terms of percentage of the voters, states carried and electoral votes than Hoover did in 1932. In fact, the ONLY Republicans to do worse than Goldwater were Taft in 1912 (when he split the GOP vote with Teddy Roosevelt) and Alf Landon in 1936.
It was only when Ronald Reagan recognized the role that social issues played in conservatism that conservatism succeeded.
Thanks, Jim

After what the DBM did to Palin, surely, surely FR can offer her a safe haven here?
Romney has been soundly rejected by the voters. Let the corpse of his candidacy rest in peace and let us move on with those who really DO embody conservatism. Please.

When I first started posting here, I was a Rudy supporter. I learned tons here about him and other candidates. I still think Rudy was an awesome Mayor of NYC in many ways and rocked during and after 9-11. I would have voted for him, for POTUS, with less hesitation than I did for McCain.
I didn’t know much about his position on guns, homos, abortion, etc. I knew what he did for NYC in positive ways and how he handled 9-11. I’d trust him with illegal immigration and border security and National security moreso than I would McCain. I’d trust him more for Conservative SCOTUS appointments than I would McCain.
My point, this site is filled with information many of us wouldn’t know otherwise. As long as Pro God, Pro 2nd A, Pro Life, Pro National Security, Pro border control, Pro man-woman (anti homo crap), small government, etc. remains the core, all will be well. So to speak.
