In the past few months I have noticed that the posters on Free Republic have become more and more hostile towards social conservatism.
And I do not mean indifference (less pro life threads etc) but an outright hostility at pro life and other social conservative causes.
Am I alone in thinking this?
In particular, notice the responses to the thread concerning the recent request by social conservative groups to the FCC to reign in Fox's racey primetime programs.
I wonder if this is becoming only a haven for hedonists and libertarians, and if so, perhaps it would be better for social conservatives to find their own site.
It is a sign.
This thread is approaching critical mass, and is on the verge of exploding and killing us all. And you want to drag in Harry Potter to push us over the edge ;)
How horrible! I'm surprised that you weren't man enough to personally rebuke the pastor for desecrating the church with such an outrage!
Either that, or the prospect of having a SWAT team come through your bedroom window at 3am has pursuaded people not to answer surveys accurately.
On balance, I think drug use is probably down---but at what cost, and with what benefit?
They had little or no drug problem in the country up to that point. Within 20 years of prohibition they had the worst crack cocaine and heroin problem in the area.A real sucess story.
Why don't you remove yourself so conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity don't have to waste valuable air time trying to cleanse the conservative movement of those supporting drug legalization? Or remove yourself so the memory of Ronald Reagan isn't tarnished by losers supporting drug legalization?
I do too. There aren't many, but those that are here, I believe are vocal enough to start wars between us. A little post here, a little post there. Just enough to start flames amongst us. We have lost a lot of reasonable debates and many threads turn in to outright insults.
Did you hear the latest in Naperville (surburb of Chicago) Illinios? On all new home construction, they are required by law to build for handicap accessability even if a handicapped person will never be in your home. In your private home! Thanks to GHWB and the liberals who turned a good idea into a travisty.
Of course it's down, by a percentage that reflects the lower numbers in the age brackets that tend to use drugs.
You mean like Jesus didn't hang around with prostitutes and publicans, and like that?
If you want a site where you agree with everything people say and your views are never the subject of disagreement, then you should probably join (or found) another site, yes.
On the other hand, if your point is that many people simply spout bumper-sticker libertarian or Limbaughite or even left-radical slogans, and display no understanding of what conservatism actually means, then I'd suggest you learn to live with it. It's likely to be the same everywhere you go, including among social conservatives. Only the particular slogans will be different.
And if you're concerned about the rudeness and name-calling which is all too frequent, just ignore it.
They were doped up then, and they're doped up now. All that dope has adversely affected their memories and their judgment.
They're like most alcoholics I've met--in denial and completely oblivious to the enormous cost their selfish and useless indulgence imposes on everyone else.
LOL!!! ROFL!!!!! If you want to stop Rush from wasting air time, ban golf.
So, please stop avoiding the question unless your beliefs are not real. What church is it that has the ultimate truth in relation to God and evolution?
You think everybody's on dope.
