I am among the “Freeper Left” I suppose.

Once Romney was the de facto nominee, I advocated 3-4 times over several months that Freepers should remain as critical as they wish but that in the end they should hold their noses and vote for him. For that I was banned from Free Republic until after the election.

I very much wish that JB’s positions on immigration and common core were closer to the views espoused here. I wish that JB could be more deferential and polite to the individuals wgo post here. So ... You can call me names but objectively you would be mistaken. And a jerk.

If those who post here take the position At this very early stage that there is nothing that JB can do to secure their vote even in the general election, then why in the world would he ever take your positions into consideration?

My primary interest in posting this is not to advance the cause of JB. It is to ensure that a significant and important viewpoint in the Republican pantheon not get written off and written out.

My secondary and selfish interest is to stand up and say that I won’t be intimidated by anyone posting here. Call me names. Insult me. Slander me. I reserve the right to respond even if that gets me banned. That is not at all what I want. I have come here every day many times per day for many years. If I were a lefty why would I do that?

Indeed the reason that some posters make it such a point of pride to trash me (and my ilk) is that right or wrong our positions are both reasonable and well-reasoned.

And just to make myself clear, I am not advocating for JB. I am merely defending myself.

I’m not here to make friends. If you support evil, you are evil. If you support liberals, you are liberal. If you support people trying to destroy conservatives, you are trying to destroy conservatives.If one willingly empowers leftist republicans, they are a leftist. And willing mans voting for them without a literal gun to your head.

It’s that simple. Dress things up however you like.

If one rapes, they are a rapist. If one plays sports, they are a sportsman. If one loves the opposite sex, they are hetrosexual. If one loves the same sex, they’re homosexual.

Be happy with what you are or change what you are.

"The Republican pantheon." That's a phrase I've never heard before.

An interesting one though, since the original Pantheon was a building dedicated to the celebration of a whole passel of false gods.

To create a conservative "circular firing squad" maybe? Much like what was done in the past few primaries and elections.

Telling conservatives they were 0 voters and supporters for not siding with the GOP-e candidate(s) and that it's the "party above all else".

And I won't grant your wish of helping to load your magazine by calling you names. I'll just work to curb the leftist wet dreams that RINO and GOP-e supporters here on FR have when it comes to the UNI-party.
