As a social conservative, I want the Government to do one thing and one thing only.
Leave me alone!
To: BibleBeliever;watsonfellow
I disagree with both of you. This is a conservative news forum. There are many kinds of conservatives in here.
But you will have to be able to defend your positions with real substantive points of argumentation, facts, beliefs with support.
People on here strongly believe in their point of view just like you do. I have seen no limitation of debate unless someone is attacking in a personal manner.
Many arguments that social conservatives have (not all) are based on strong emotion or faith...this is fine but to persuade someone or support your belief you
will have to temporarily leave you status as "mere believer" and go into a status of debater with support for you opinion. Of course you dont have to, but if you dont you arent going to build any hearing with people who disagree.
btw, I take views from all sides so attacking me as an anti-social conservative will be misplaced.

After the March for Life there were two threads running concurrently.
The first was a synopsis of the March with pictures and comments from those who attended. Maybe 75 hits to the thread.
The second was on the organizers of the march disallowing the Men From Glaad to march under a banner proclaiming how they got their rocks off. That thread had over 500 hits.
Yeah, I've noticed a change.

read him and listened to him for 35 years, thank you. You fail to make the distinction between believing in sin and wanting the government to sanction it. This is the common problem for those who believe as you do.

Watson:
I applaud your intent, however Free Republic is hostile to anyone who doesn't use logic. (Sometimes it is hostile to those who do)I support social conservatism as a personal guidance system and educatory process. I do not support it as a national policy. I haven't seen much of any anti-pro-life posts here (although they could be here). I believe that there is a place for this debate within the policy structure.
That being said, I don't see television standards and policies based on social conservatism to do nothing but undermine your goals. The culture exsists because of the voices within society and not the laws that exsist. Speak your mind....lend your wisdom. Just keep the gvt. out of it.

Opposing the Drug War is a completely different topic than utter stupidity of legalizing drugs. And, yes, most conservatives in the nation still oppose that moronic concept. Yet, Free Republic is filled with freaks promoting drug legalization.

Sadly, Free Republic, and likely the conservative movement as whole, is becoming infected with the libertarian cancer. BWAAAAAA HAHAHAHAAhahahahahahaah!!!

I'm with you! I think full frontal nudity and graphic sex between consenting adults should be allowed to be broadcast over network televison. If you don't like it, turn the channel. Who needs the FCC anyway? They are just another useless, unconstitutional government agency.

I wouldn't laugh at that OWK. I think it is the truth. I just wouldn't refer to it as a cancer, more like a cancer cure.

A constitutional government may LOOK like a Libertarian's dream, but ask any Libertarian and they will not want to stop there.
Hell, I'm a libertarian, and I'd love it if this country would get to that point and stop there.
To: watsonfellow
Not at all. There are several cliques of ideologues: libertarians, old Brigadeers, GOP haters, Federal government haters and Defenders of the Slaveocracy (D.S.s) who run in packs and that makes it appear that there are more of them than there really is.
The vast majority of FReepers is strongly pro-life but eschew rabid fanaticism as being counterproductive.
To: watsonfellow
I feel FR is becomeing increasingly hostile towards libertarians. And some of the rudest elements of social conservatism have been overrunning the place.
In case no one noticed there are more liberals in the world then there are people in the diverse spectrum of conservatism.
All those who support constitutional government ought to be more united in restoring a free republic, and then at that point we can attack each other. :)

I got news for you, the homosexual agenda is being rammed down the throats of the nation. There is plenty of evidence showing that homosexuals are dying at young ages, accounting for a disportionate amount of the cases of AIDS, hepatitis and STDs and molesting a disportionate amount of children. If liberaltarians have a problem with that and want to legalize drugs, they ought to got to a liberal web site where they belong.

I'm pro-life, BTW - as are many libertarians despite the smear campaigns that have tried to indicate otherwise.
