Any one not pre-impeachment is a newbie to me.
You are seeing the result of the GenX/Y/WhyMe/millennial and their lack of education and self discipline. They act this way at work as well and people wonder why this nation is doomed.
You registered for a fight, not because you want to participate.
What are your credentials giving you the power to dictate to newbs? who the bloody he[[ are you? Are you the owner of FR?
Be careful of the grammar police, learn some manners and don't forget to take your meds!
I know exactly what he means. There’s a lot of interesting articles posted here, but much of the time it’s impossible to have a mature conversation. Most of the time, people here don’t bother to refute an idea. They simply post some snarky comment which they think makes them look clever. They do not expend the effort to show why they are right. As with many liberals, they simply trash those with whom they disagree. This hurts the site and makes the people posting this stuff look rude, lazy, and basically uninformed. This does not help the conservative cause. At times this has been so bad that I have wondered if these people aren’t liberals pretending to be conservatives and trying to make conservatives look bigoted and dumb.
"Conservatives pride themselves on the quality of their debate versus liberal knee-jerk name-calling. I guess some here on FR can’t raise themselves above that level."
Yeah, I wish all these "pompous", "supercilious", "FR-e" types would cut it all the name-calling!!...
I agree with you. However, there is at least one good reason that recent FR signups or with no posting history can get shown a hard time. Some folks sign up, post, and are banned because they sign up to harass, not to contribute to reasoned debate.
And to be fair, there are some long term freepers who get cranky when their fave concepts are stepped on. So, if you are going to post, ya might want to develop a thicker skin.
Believe me, it does not matter how long you’ve been posting here. If you go against the majority on anything, no matter how trivial, you better be dressed for battle.

Newbies can sometimes be folks who sign up to harass, not discuss. They get banned rather quickly. Kind of fun to sit back and watch the process.
If you were looking to make an undead thread, you have to wait until January.
I agree with ya and I have been around a while
But I don’t think FR is capable of dealing with much dissent anymore ...(if it ever was)
What are you trying to hide??
Well as rants on FR go you get a C-. But I usually don’t pile on newbies just for being new.
Welcome aboard and get a thick skin because people here will tell you what they think no matter how long you have been registered.
stick Cornyn up your backside, you newby socialist .
Well, years (and God) have taught me that it’s better to look for the positive in a situation. Even when it means getting condemned by the negative-meisters.
The human approximations that are made for the sake of human politics seem often to militate against that.
In real life, the way people carry on is fluid. They may do well one day, then poorly the next. Sometimes they have long standing bad habits, but even those may be broken (and replaced by good habits).
In the world of politics, we often pigeonhole people, and the idea of God operating through an unappealing vessel is (very wrongly) often treated as heresy.
This amounts to wallowing in self fulfilling doom prophecy.
Lefties are often more shrewd than “we righties” are. They will patiently deal in shades of grey when trying to get exactly the hue they want. They use all the virtues, sometimes masterfully. In the meantime with us it’s like show that holy halo untarnished or get outta here! And God? Who’s he? He’s the one who will give us the applause that we so richly deserve? (As we think.)
Man that is so, so spiritually WRONG. On a fundamental plane. I have tried to make clear a saner philosophy about the Lord and things spiritual wherever I have gone, even getting aggressively in the face of the negative-meisters where I believe the Lord wanted it. I don’t think I have gotten it all perfect but I think I have earnestly attempted to bring what would be a vast improvement.
So I'll ask now.
Did you vote for "Dirty" Dewhurst over Ted Cruz because Cruz wasn't a viable candidate?
