Of course, it was not an intellectual post (with words, etc.) so it is not as productive of light as it is heat. Also, the graphic seems to promote another website (his own). There may be grounds for objecting to those last two things, but I hardly think he is criticizing conservatives or Republicans.

I have to seriously question anyone who doesn't think that putting up a graphic declaring Democrats=Socialists and Republicans=Socialist Lite" as not being criticizing Republicans or Conservatives. Yes, the graphic promotes the users own website, and I thought at one time there was a rule against that, but I could be mistaken. If you read that users other posts, none of them could hardly be called "intellectual" or "honest" by any stretch of the imagination. At least, that's what *I* think.

In fact, he seems to be upholding what Reagan called "a banner of bold colors, not pale pastels."

IMO, that user's posts far from indicate the intellectual capacity to do just that. I'd have caught onto it if they were, but they're not.

Perhaps you'd rather FR be called "An Establishment, Moderate Bush Republican News Forum" rather than "A Conservative News Forum."

Snuck in a nice little Bush-bash with that one. A+ for style, D- for execution.

I've been critical of our President on several issues, and I've posted several threads specifically on the Stem Cell Research issue. None of those posts have "trashed" or "bashed" our President in any way. They pointed out however, where he was making an inappropriate Moral choice, based on his professed faith in Christ, and identified (100% correctly I might add) the slippery slope that Stem Cell Research has led to, and the recent announcements that Humans would be cloned very soon. As long as one is being intellectually honest in their debate, I have no problems with them. It's the blatant lies and "hit 'n run" tactics that many use here that I strenuously object to. Boucheau is one of those users, again IMO.

Fortunately, neither you nor I have the authority to unilaterally make such a change of nomenclature.

On this specific point, you and I will agree. I wouldn't want JimRob's job for all the tea in China, as the saying goes. I have zero patience for some of the absolute crap he puts up with here.

Regards,

So calling Bush 'moderate' is now bashing? How sensitive can you get? Noticing that in many ways, he has not addressed any of the major issues that conservatives were anxiously hoping would be addressed (hence, 'establishment') is out-of-bounds? Demanding pure loyalty in all cases is a bit too subservient for Americans to stomach.

(Now I've got to go look up more of his past posts, and yours... be back in a few... Oh, and I know Bush has only been in office for a year, and has 3 to go. Still, he should have addressed tort-reform, election-fraud, Clinton's land-grabs for cash, term-limits, etc., by now. Or is that 'bashing', too?)
