You guys would just love to have this forum all to yourselves, but you fail to realize that, with all the conservatives gone, you would have nobody to castigate.
I don't like the unthoughtful posts from liberals who contribute to this forum. I do like having thoughtful conservatives contributing to this forum. Unfortunately there just aren't very many of them - especially if we don't count people like cbelt3 and kj as "true" conservatives (as certain unnamed people seem to prefer to do).

Independents like me, who may fall on one side of some issues and the other side of other issues are hard for some around here to "get".

I'm curious, can you name five substantial issues where you mostly disagree with conservatives and mostly agree with liberals.

Sure...
• Abortion
• Ron Paul is a jerk
• Obama did a good job on Bin Laden
• Obama did a good job on Anwar al-Awlaqi
• OWC demonstrators have a right to protest

Other than abortion, which one of those puts you on the opposite side from conservatives? Lots of right-wingers supported Obama killing bin Laden and al-Awlaki. Plenty of social conservatives think that Ron Paul is preposterously hands-off when it comes to moral issues. And Rush wouldn't begrudge the OWS folks their right to protest - he just mocks them for it.

You really think that conservatives in general disagree with the last three? The second one doesn't rate as substantial to my way of thinking - besides, a significant percent of conservatives probably agree with that assessment of Ron Paul. So abortion, that's one.
Edit: Oops, I should have read rjmac's post before writing this one. I should have just said, "Ditto what rj said."

It's likely that any offending posts have been deleted.
Oh, duh, slap self on head, that's probably what happened.
Bet you're wrong.
Oh, come on, you can't say we shouldn't be talking about this and then lay that out there.
