Ask the many who are now reluctant to post here why they refrain from doing so and they will say it is because of the level of discourse on ALL sides. Trump followers are not immune from this criticism. I’ve heard them say things like, “Well, it’s nothing like what their side does,” or, “Their guy started it.” Real grown-up arguments to excuse poor behavior.

But you can’t get folks to examine their own behavior, so FR will continue to bleed participants. They simply don’t feel free to express their views without being subject to personal attack or ridicule. Brings up the question of what exactly is the cost of freedom?

Brings up the question of what exactly is the cost of freedom?

Having a good all-American education was the ideal many WWII vets thought was best for their children. Little did they suspect that, even in the 1950s, the Marxists and other enemies of freedom were already settling into the public schools and universities, not to mention the churches. Our parents trusted our teachers and our school system. Ouch.
