And, this is a socon site.

Really?

"Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America."

That's me. Been here almost as long as you have kev, and I don't need your self-righteous indignation. There are plenty of socons around here, true, but if there isn't room for independent, grass-roots conservatism of the fiscon variety, JimRob ought to fix the masthead.

***Yes, really. From the same article you quoted, here’s how JimRob says it. Note that he doesn’t bring up fiscon issues first, he brings up socon issues first.

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. .... We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity.

***Would you characterize Romney as a socon? As a fiscon? Why is it that JimRob had a Romneytruthfile on the ‘masthead’ for so long? And he said for months that he wouldn’t endorse a “lying, baby-killing, gun-grabbing statist” until he reluctantly endorsed him, saying “damn Romney” when he did. There is plenty of “independent, grass-roots conservatism of the fiscon variety” welcomed, but not if it is at the expense of the socon variety. Such CINOs have ruined conservatism and the GOP. So are you a fiscon who is anti-socon? If so, what are you doing here?
