I've been here as basically a conservative on most issues (and been open about that) and have made it up to around 500 posts. Mostly I don't get too involved in political discussions. As I said in the beginning... it's yall's board, and I respect that. Plus I am not conservative on every issue. Actually I try not to label myself at all, whether it be 'conservative' or otherwise, I just go with what I feel. It just so happens that alot of the positions i take fall under what most people consider conservative, but that's not my doing. Chris Rock did a great piece in his newest comedy routine about making up your mind before you have taken the time to understand an issue and instead just following your party or your particular political niche. I don't believe in following any party mindlessly regardless of which one, they both have their faults. I tend get myself in trouble with both liberals and conservatives... it's funny how just because you don't agree with each and every one of somebody elses's views, they will deem you the enemy... even if you agree with them on other issues. I try to focus on similarities when debating with people... I am politically a 180 degree opposite to most DUers, yet oftentimes we find common ground.
I mostly just keep a low pro, but I am happy to debate on any issue if invited. As for FR, I don't really like the setup of their board much, so I don't even think I have an acount anymore, but I don't think they kick people off for being a liberal, they do kick off obvious trolls or disrespectful posters, but what board wouldn't?
