And so Free Republic continues its transformation from a conservative news forum to a Sarah Palin fansite.
You are saying she is NOT a conservative? Or not worthy if having fans? I know a conservative when i see one, my friend, and this is not another RINO...why not go with a winner? Who is more accepted by the majority of FReepers?
Nope. I'm saying there's more to conservatism than being a Sarah fan.
"Who is more accepted by the majority of FReepers?"
Nobody, which is what prompted my previous comment.
Including me. I do like her a lot.
But there are millions of Americans who meet that test, I wouldn't say all of them would get my vote for President.
Sarah is comparable to Ronald Reagan in the early '50s. Reagan at that time had a gut-level conservatism, but it was only after he spent fifteen years thinking, and talking, and writing, that he really had the consistent and well grounded conservative world view that made him the great President he was.
I'd be delighted to see Sarah - or anyone else - head down that path.
"As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Outgoing Governor Palin doesn't represent these views as eloquently stated by the Founder of FR?
