PLease tell me you are not so stupid to think that porn did not exist before the 60's? If you honestly believe this, I have a book full of porn photos from the 1910's and '20s. You may enjoy it.

Time to fire up the Kinetoscope!

No. What I am saying is that each woman should get to make their own choice regarding abortion. Someone else's unborn child is simply not your business

So what your saying is that you thinkl its OK for a woman to kill her baby. That does not sound conservative to me.

I vehemently disagree. The socialist mantra is 'From each acording to his substance ... to each according to his need.' This has nothing to do with what a conservative believes about society conforming to a system of law and from where that law derives.

..I am against abortion as you are - I guess where we differ is I dont see myself as holier-than-thou enough to be making morality decisions for all of society ....

You said it BEST!!!!

Yours is a most excellent, reasoned, and sane post. Believe it or not, conservative Republicans began to look too liberal,phoney,shallow, etc. for me and I started looking at libertarian views. I like what I see.

The Taliban also advocate living as though it was the 1600's too.

We're the Taliban. Uh huh. Talk about insulting. I forgot, you occupy some lofty chair of discernment.

Don't call us druggies, but if we call you Taliban, or 'police state advocates' it's quite alright.

Go take a nice long look in the mirror, Bunny Slippers.

Drug Use doesn't destroy society? Your kidding, right?

[beowolf]

Did you feel left out?

Let me repeat the point to include you...You (plural) whiners make me sick!

There, do you feel better, now that you are included?

[nopardons]

Not a problem, I assure you. : - )

Do you really think a new screen name MUST mean a 'newbie'?

You have touched on a liberal contradiction in logic. Liberals never seem to be able to see the other side of the argument. They'll ask the question why are there few minorities or women in conservative ranks, but pose it as a problem for conservatives rather than as a problem for minorities and females who don't get it. It's similar to their question as to why so many pro-life conservatives support the death penalty. They could ask why so many anti-death penalty liberals support sucking a baby's brains out of it's skull. It never occurs to them to look at a problem from another angle.

For those who would like to see what Freerepublic used to look like...I just found a amazing web site its called "WaybackMachine"...FYI I have banned myself and almost got thrown out a few times in the last 4 years....this new blind Republican support will also pass ...sooner or later the truth comes out...just remember...."During times of universal deceit,telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" George Orwell�

[Principled]

Whoops, no, it was meant for FF78. Who's the half-wit now?

It happens to us all- like the new locations for the "preview" and "post" buttons. Man I got screwed on that a few times....

hey come to think of it, that's something I can say I don't like- the new button locations!!! Damn liberals, steenkin' libertarians!! THEY moved the buttons!!

[Hugh Akston]

Just hope youre also pro-choice ..... let each make their own choice

Works for me. Let's let each make their own choice- even if that means that we have to prevent one's mother from killing one before they get a chance to make that choice.

[He Rides A White Horse]

We also advocate ramming a jetliner into a building, killing thousands in the process. Insulting?

[spectre]

Nope.

You got a private letter from somebody named NYpeanut because she is getting sick and tired of a pattern developing here that is dividing conservative men and women. And then you run and tattle to mommy and daddy by posting this whiney vanity; not cool.

Well NYPeanut, I've been here much longer than you, and frankly I'm sick and tired of the self-serving sanctimonius CRAP that gets posted such as this.

You didn't have to out yourself. The original poster expressed very well what I've been thinking for sometime.

You and your post aren't helping matters.

Come to think of it, most of the CRAP posted here on FR comes from a certain crowd of people who registered on FR starting in October of 2000 through January 2001.

Every time I've had to hit the abuse button, the poster has met that profile.

Oh for the good old days of FR.

If I say I support the Drug War, and Anti-Homosexual Laws, and Anti-Abortion Laws, then I will get a hundred posts from Libertarians calling me a Taliban and telling me to get the burquas (sp).

Really?? Examples please!! In the six whole days you have posted I would like to see where you have said you:

1) support the Drug War
2) Anti-Homosexual laws
3) Anti-Abortion laws

Then I would insist that you show me only Libertarians, hundreds of them, that want you to put your pro-taliban ways under a burqa.

Until you are able to do so, please retract your slanderous remarks against Libertarians.

Some of us are guilty of going over to such sites as DU and rattling their cages. They feel they must retaliate. They try to feign a "conservative" demeanor in a futile attempt to avoid discovery. But we all know that descretion is not their strong suit as a rule and they are invariably betrayed by their uncontrollable need to whine and by their knee-jerk reactions to certain "buzz" words. Then they are amazed that when they are outted they are often allowed to stay as long as they are not disruptive, unlike their site where the first hint of dissension is grounds for being permanently banned.

The other side of the issue though is that I have found far more conservative thinkers and independent thinkers here than liberal ones. Its not that they're not allowed; its just that they don't take the heat real well.
