How many really conservative freepers are there I'd like to know?
A citizen of the U.S. when convicted of a felony should serve his/her time in prison and when set free should be given all his/her constitutional rights back. If the citizen is convicted of a violent crime: murder, rape ect, he should face the death penalty. Citizens who committed minor feloniesand have been good citizens for years preceding the crime should not be denied their natural rights. President Bush is a fine example of this point.
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/DailyNews/Bush_Arrest001102.html George W. Bush addresses his 1976 DUI arrest in Maine.
After rallying voters Thursday night in West Allis, Wis., Bush told reporters he’s “not proud” that he was arrested for driving under the influence in Kennebunkport, Maine, after drinking several beers at a bar.
“I regret that it happened, but it did,” Bush said.
The Bush campaign acknowledged earlier Thursday night, after it was reported by a Maine television station, that he was taken into custody by police near his family home in Kennebunkport on Labor Day weekend in 1976.
“I’m the first to say that what I did was wrong and I’ve corrected that,” Bush said. “And I think the people — the people of America will understand that.”

Not a felony. Had he had an accident and killed somebody while driving drunk, he would not be President today. He committed a misdemeanor. There is a difference.
Back in 2000, I'd venture FR was probably 80-90% culturally conservative/libertarian.
Now, I'd say the social moderate to liberals have at least a sizable plurality here.
