It's also arguable that FR is no longer right-wing, and hasn't been for quite some time. Middle-of-the-road is more like it.

You may want to update your understanding of the current definition of "right wing".

The media and Dims have labled "right wing" an ordinary citizen who flys the American flag in his/her yard, or has an American flag decal on his/her car.

You need meet none of the above qualifications if you own a pick-up. You're an automatic "right winger".

Ha ha! I love FR and conservative ideals as much as the next FReeper, but I could not possibly call FR "middle of the road." It is very much conservative.

However, the majority of my experience shows that conservatives are generally more open to honest, calm debate than our liberal, ah, "counterparts."
