You mean not wanting a second Obama term makes me not a conservative? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
***No, fear mongering was the subject, and your fear mongering is what makes you not a conservative. Proceeding from that fear in cowardice to try to get other conservatives to betray their conservative principles is not conservative. Free Republic is a conservative website, not a republican one.
I AM a conservative first, who happens to usually vote Republican, and I am proud of it. I am not trying to get people to “betray their principles” and “vote my way,” because as a REAL conservative, I respect other people’s rights and recognize that it’s none of my business. I was simply stating what I feel about the consequences of this election. A real conservative doesn’t resort to bullying, intimidation, and name-calling like you do...that’s the ugly stuff only a progressive soul can engage in and still sleep at night.
But it doesn’t matter, because I don’t have to prove anything to you, because I don’t answer to you. I don’t know why “whether or not I’m fear-mongering” is even an issue that you feel you need to make a case for...even if you prove that I AM “fear-mongering” beyond a shadow of a doubt (which is impossible to do, anyway), what have you accomplished? Is FR helped any? Is conservatism triumphing because of it? Please. All you can do because of this is pat yourself on the back and feel like good about yourself. (Even thought it never will satisfy that emptiness or anger inside). This infighting is not worth your time and effort...or mine. Good day.
