that’s your right, of course.

Not the decision I would make. And I make it with both eyes open. I am certainly not buying into an “Obama scare tactic.” I doubt he wants me to vote for Mitt in November.

Remember the ABC cartoon series that Mike Judge created and labeled as conservative’? Didn’t work. You can only educate and preach our cause ONLY if you pretend it’s just one of the shows.

Another example is 24. Word of mouth spread about the right-wing angle of the show but dipped when the creator made an interview about his love for Reagan.

Very. Good. Question.

I’ve often, wondered the same thing.

Rush Limbaugh, for example.

Why doesn’t one conservative own a cable channel? I’d watch it.

Look up National Empowerment Television or N.E.T. as it was called and read it's history. It has been tried and was done during the Clinton scandals. Paul Weyrich ran the network and it was strictly conservative format. Problem was back then you just about had too have a C-Band {the old 10' satellite dish} system to receive it.

Weyrich stepped on some toes including sounding the alarm about Trent Lott's failures as SML. The shows had host like Bill Lind, Janet Parshall, Major Garrett, Michael Reagan, Alan Keyes, John Lofton, and a lot of other great conservatives. It was the ideal conservative network. I still have some of the old shows on VHS.

The network as I understand it ran into some shortage of funding issues so the board outed Weyrich from control and went to a moderate format. The shows were then "On the right side" with Armstrong Williams and Ellen Ratner get the picture? The new network name was called America's Voice. Bob Beckell was even on it.

Yea I wish a good conservative would start a network also. You can look for establishment DC in both parties too use all means available too them to get it shut down though.

Wow... that must have been quite a sight. I’ve communicated with a few FB FOA’s and some are quite concerned about what goes on their public FB pages..

Shameful that in our country, someone living an honorable, law-abiding life would have to live that way to avoid being fired and shunned.

Hope you’re well...

Ironically, it’s Conservatives that stand up for Speech more so than the Left.

You're right - it's strange.

Since “Bat Out Of Hell” is still one of the top selling albums of all time, I’m sure he’ll be crying all the way to the bank.

[he just released a new album, BTW]

Liberals are terrified of the diversity of ideas. They've become the oppressive Establishment they supposedly fight. Creepy.

Creepy indeed. It’s the Left’s strident disregard of Liberties that reminds us of the totalitarian and fascist regimes belonging to the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, etc.

Maybe we're missing the obvious... Some Jews got out of Germany before the real horrors started... most thought the Germans just had a 'strident disregard of Liberties' - but that it would pass - never get as bad as it got...

Sometimes I look at what liberal elites are doing and feel concern... other times it's like 'they can't be THAT bad - it'll pass ...

It’s JR’s site and he can allow whoever he wants to post on here. I think lately about 20-25% on here are libs in disguise. Too many newbs saying things that don’t sound conservative to me. (Even after zotting Romney supporters.) They need to be zotted too, IMO.

One day all of the Islamic Shi'ites managed to kill all of the Sunnis. They spent 15 minutes firing striaght up into the air to celebrate, then a complete silence fell over them. They stood, looked around at each other and realized some of them wore the traditional garb and some a different style. And so the two groups began to kill each other until one group had destroyed the other. And then, as the spoke about their victory some realized they had slightly different views yet still. And so they started killing each other Ad nauseam and on it and it goes ...

By the time you keepers of truth and deciders of who is a true conservate are done with this site they'll be none left. You will talk amoung yourselves, to yourselves, and accomplish nothing. But the good news is the money drives will cease as they will be able to run the FR on a Coleco. I've been a member since 1988, check my profile, no johny come lately here.

True dat. My point was if zotting Romney supporters was supposed to uphold conservatism, then there were alot of lib ciphers that were missed in the process.

“I’ve always liked Meatloaf’s music.”

The good stuff is Jim Steinman’s music. Saw the “Dream Engine” in ‘69 and been a fan ever since. Meatloaf is Jim’s Tinkerbell.
