I begin to get the picture. We’re not to be individuals here with the right to independent thought. We’re to choose up sides. If we happen on one day to agree with one faction on one topic, then henceforward we must continue to march in lockstep with that faction on all topics and never “hear” or acknowledge what another faction says about anything, much less agree with it.
When I said that Fred said a mouthful, that’s exactly what I meant. Fred said a mouthful. So did you.
So does everybody who opines here at Free Republic, and thank God and the moderator for giving us a forum, have to agree with you on every point and also live by your dictates?
I leave it to the readers to decide who’s being polite and reasonable.
Not since high school. I said a mouthful there, btw.

Now who’s putting words in other people’s mouths? That’s just plain rude. You surprise me. I had taken you for someone else. A much politer, more reasonable person.
That's it in a nutshell. If you don't go along, they'll pick at your entrails like vultures until all that's left of you is skin and bones, or you run for the hills and never return. I didn't post that piece from MacBeth for nothing. It's a witches brew.
