I notice you said nothing about blatant islamo-nazi propaganda. I would like to see these posters banned as well.
1. He is trying to guide the forum back to a true political activist purpose and get away from the internal squabbling. (it is true that we eat our own more-so than the dems)
2. He is getting the forum focused on the upcomming elections. There is so much at stake. The supreme court, the senate and the house. As well as governorships. This is our true purpose.
I have heard that there will be a "chat" environment for those who want to argue the pros and cons of leadership decisions and this is fine. But remember that the world is watching this forum now to get a feel for what the conservatives are up to. If all they see is bitter conflict then they know exactly what buttons to push to get us off message. This is what is happening now.IMHO.
Like that's ever going to be reality again. Call me a cynic, but I've seen little evidence of the government relinquishing any power once it's gotten hold of it. I am in agreement with you, however.
All this went bye,bye after 911. We will deficit spend until we rid the world of these scum. The democrats have hijacked the deficit issue to make political hay. They will soon jump on the talk circuits and say exactly what you are saying to win more seats in the congress. Dash has started the ball rolling! Can't you see this or are you really a democrap or RINO?
You are on the wrong side on this issue.
Most of them are humorous in only a very pathetic, "Look-at-me-I'm-a-real-loser" sort of way.
Well I confess to liking DU. Kinda' like the Springer Show. So bad that it is good. But I wonder where you draw the line on what being a "conservative" is?
I support the death penalty. I think able-bodied people on welfare ought to have to work. I think the Civil Rights movement has degenerated into a joke. I can't stand Clinton, Hillary, Feingold, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Albright. I barf on Janet Reno. I do not like most political correctness. I think the role of gov't needs to be closely restricted. I think gov't is far too big and has far too much power. I hate NBC, CBS, CNN, Dan Rather etc. I think the media has a liberal bias. I like O'Reilly, FOX, etc. I am for a strong military. I think NOW is crap.
BUT---I think capitalism ought to be regulated. I believe in livable wages, increased minimum wages, unions (even though they have a bad side). I hate the bankruptcy reform bill. I think tort-reform is an abomination. I think big business has about the same potential to ruin people's lives as big gov't. I think Johnny Jihad is being rail-roaded. I have a very low opinion of Ashcroft, thus far. I think "liberal" judges protect constitutional rights more often than "strict constructionist" judges. I do not worship businessmen. I even left the GOP and became a democrat.
So am I still a "conservative"? I think so. parsy.
What he was saying, is that it is a waste of bandwidth, and he thought some democrats do this on purpose, I guess. I guess it costs money, is what he was trying to say.
You got this right. Too many folks here think that the terms Republican and Conservative are interchangeable. In fact, not all Republicans are Conservative, and not all Conservatives are Republican.
God Bless you for your constant attention to the postings, and for the site in the first place, it is literally, the only place I go on the internet (other than aviation related sites).
Keep the Faith for Freedom
MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT THIS HONORABLE REPUBLIC

With so many liberals today masquerading as conservatives in the GOP I don't see how not taking these individuals to task for their leftward leaning ideology does anything other than provide these liberals with political cover. Anyone astutely following the political scene for a number of years has undoubtedly observed the GOP's drift towards socialism. Being a Republican in these times can mean almost anything.
Hoo boy. Welcome to my list.
