So you are saying your brother, and sister conservatives from California

Conservative turns out to be a relative term on FR. I've had discussions with fellow freepers who claim to be conservative who were all in favor of background checks for firearms purchases, semi-auto bans etc. I ran across a freeper (yesterday) who called me a

"You're a mindless bigot, a hapless drone full of loathing

For saying that one of the reason for the anointed one's re-election was: "The parasites grew fat with their 0bamaphones and the removal of any work requirement for assistance and he swelled their ranks by 17,000,000 on EBT cards alone in the last four years so that was an addition to his base."

Apparently the jackass who probably considers himself a "conservative" thinks it's ok for the government to swell the number of leeches on the dole so as to increase dependency on government. So depending on just what you consider to be the definition of a conservative I may or may not agree with criticalj and want you to stay just where you are. Particularly if you're coming from New York or MA. A conservative from these places would probably fit the definition of a moderate here in the south.

“.........So depending on just what you consider to be the definition of a conservative I may or may not agree with criticalj........”

As much as I’ve ranted about the redefining of the Conservative, the Conservative movement by the RINO Left, and the Leftists I understand what you mean, and agree with your assessment. Good point.

My perspective is from I believe true conservatism. I’d attempt to lead us back to the founders dotted i’s, and crossed t’s were I able to devote my life to such a movement. At my age I can only participate with those that think as I do, thus FRee Republic where I find more in agreement with our founding principles than anyplace else.

Thanks for your response.

Rather astonishing, that, but you are right. I would estimate barely half the people who comment here are conservatives as the term is properly understood. The rest are largely religious nutcases, ornery cranks and deliberate passive agressive disruptors. Surprisingly few overt racists, although there are a few.

“A conservative from these places would probably fit the definition of a moderate here in the south.”

Amen.

Or even a liberal.
