In the past few months I have noticed that the posters on Free Republic have become more and more hostile towards social conservatism.

If there has been such a trend, I attribute it to this: A lot of social conservatives left FR after the Buchanan Brigade debacle, while most of the socially liberal libertarians stayed around. That skewed the social conservative / social liberal ratio on a lot of threads.

Additionally, a lot of social conservatives on FR still tie their conservatism to causes like opposition to Bush and the Republican Party. That's obviously going to annoy most Freepers, who are largely Republicans and Bush supporters.

Perhaps a little simplistic, like most of the Libertarian stuff. But insightful and right on the mark, unlike any of the Libertarian stuff.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but most of us Buchananites are still here.
