Where are all of the conservatives?

On this forum there seem to be more libs than cons. I am more moderate and I would like to read the conservative side of things more often. I like seeing the posts from coonskinner and bro epley. I just don't know who the other conservatives are. By conservative, I mean doing your best to hold to the old paths without being angry about it.

I haven't been here very long compared to some posters... but from what I've seen, the conservatives on here rarely bother to voice their opinions, I'm not sure if that's because they want to be a friend to everyone without offending, or if they aren't sure of what they believe and are a little timid to start talking about things for fear they may be "out talked" by the "libs"... (that ought to get a response )

For the record I'm a moderately conservative... and I don't bother with some threads because I don't want to waste my brain power.

Some of the more conservatives from the faithchildforum board are now at the Good News Cafe and probably other boards.

Umm...there are very few people from the GNC who post here, and I can't think of anyone who posts there and used to post at FCF without continuing to post here. I've been a member of both forums for over 5 years now.

I can vouch for this^^^

I have posted a few conservative views, only to be pounced on in somewhat the same manner that I have seen in secular forums by unbelievers.

The instance I am thinking about, I was simply stating my own beliefs, about TV and why I personally believe them, in response to a question on the subject.
I was challenged to "prove my point" and "Why are you so inconsistent?" and "Why cant you just let others make their own choices" and "why do all you conservatives push your beliefs on others" etc.

I wasn't preaching to anyone, or telling anyone they were "wrong" or they should change. I was simply stating why I feel the way I do about TV.

But I sure had several folks chomping at the bit to do the very things they were accusing me of doing.

I have seen A LOT of libs bashing the more conservative types, and complaining about how "UC's" are so preachy and "in your face". But I can't remember more than one time Ive seen the "UC's" doing that.
I'm not saying it doesnt happen, not at all, I'm just saying what I have seen in the few weeks I have been here.

Its like people do not want anyone to tell them they should be stricter on THEIR standards/beliefs, but some of them sure are quick to tell everyone else how they are wrong and should let up on THEIR beliefs/standards.

Whats up with that?

Here's something to think about.

Why is it that when people are banned, it's mostly the conservatives who take that vacation?

It's the same way on the GNC. When someone is banned, it's usually a conservative.

Hmmmm......

EB has taken more vacations. He is.

There are several others defined as conservative who have been permanently banned from here. The same with the GNC as well.

I'm not saying that there are no concervative nut jobs and extreme radicals.
There certainly are those, and maybe those few take things to the extreme more than others. (Just as there are on both sides.)

I am just saying that there are a lot of the left wing libs who may not be bad enough to be banned, but they certainly like pushing limits and buttons, and pitching a fit when the nut job cons act up.
