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.
Necessary Truth---
only necessary for realatarians/republicans---not necessay for liberal/libertarians(anarchists) all toked up-- numb/dumb!!
But the whole thing was ratcheted up under Reagan. I recall news reports at the time of people having their boats seized because a roach was found on board.
This is an example of a thread where people just argue for the sake of arguing. FR is NOT hostile to social conservatives.
Hyphens DIVIDE, folks! Geez.
Peace, OWK.
The idea that living things or the earth is exempt from that law is absurd. I've got about a dozen quotes from scientists stating the Second Law applies to all systems, open or closed. The sun does not decrease entropy and, in fact, raw solar energy increases entropy.
One would have to rewrite the Second Law to exempt living things or this planet from it.
I guess that makes me ignorant(does it count that I wasn't born until 1971?)
They also don't care much for capitalism. For example, a number of them on FR want to abolish corporations. Limited liability offends the Rand goddess, or some such nonsense.
Further, crime increased dramatically in this nation when marijuana was legalized and when drug laws were lessened. Crime has increased in the Netherlands since marijuana was legalized and since drug laws were lessened.
The majority of crime is committed by those high or drunk.
Libertarians don't care much for capitalism?
BWAAAAA HAHAHAHAhahahahahahah!!!!!
That's your best one yet.
Backwards, as usual. Libertarianism wants racial discrimination in housing and business legalized.
And so it is safe to assume you favor a return to prohibition of alcohol.... correct?
The government should periodically auction limited term leases of common property, and distribute the proceeds to citizens, kind of like a special dividend based on a non-recurring income item.You talkin' to me? I'm a Republican. And two more things: Periodic leases of broadcast spectrum would provide income to citizens. You may have a fancier theory on who deserves how much, but can you agree that paying out based on community property income would be a Good Idea? Secondly, this should not apply just to broadcast spectrum, but tangible property and government-held intellectual property as well. If people viewed themselves as owners of government assets, with the government as "property manager" that would solve a broad spectrum of problems.Lease the right to transmit through the private property of other citizens without reimbursement or consent? Sounds like a violation of Libertarian "principles."
As it should be.
See what I mean???
Nobel Prize for sure!
Start practicing your acceptance speech, Roscoe! LOL!
Zackly.
Hysteria?
Corporate officers enjoy limited liability for corporate debt. I seen any number of self-proclaimed libertarians on FR rail against that.
How about you?
You bet your ass...
I haven't laughed at you that hard since yesterday.
You used to at least manage a halfay credible flavor of sophistry.
Now you've moved on to utter idiocy.
What happened?
