It's wrong that posters like Cincy and Catty culturally appropriate the mantle of the conservative minority - here at Free Republic, which should be a place of refuge for our kind. Why not flaunt your privilege where you belong - Huffpo and Salon?
I posted this earlier to another thread in response to a commenter’s suggestion that “Trump wasn’t a politician back then” [so he’s excused from past political dealings].

It’s telling to me how Trump’s fans carve out a special world for him. A world where he’s elevated and protected against any discussion or criticism for the political associations and alliances he’s had for years, yet everyone else is fair game.
Trump’s been involved in politics for a very long time - he cannot hide behind “businessman.”
But that can’t be looked at or vetted because for Trump to be what you want him to be, an “outsider” and champion against “special interests,” you must ignore those facts.
There is a very strong conservative case that Trump is not the candidate that we should support and many conservatives like myself support Sen. Cruz and not Trump. I see no reason that this makes us hateful or relegates us to Huffpo and Salon. Honestly your reply pretty much made no sense to me.
