Check out the above linked thread, starting with post #13 or so, and read to the end.
To his credit - no matter what side of the debate you’re on - Kozak both publicly and privately (through FReepmail to me) did the right thing and re-elevated the tone.
I have also sent him a conciliatory letter.
There’s something in the air I think - A feeling that these differences in our big tent need to be put aside for a united front against the real enemy we face. We need to remember that the enemy of my enemy is my FRiend.
Our conservatism needs to be uncompromising, but the movement I envision has room in it for the Deist Jefferson, the Atheist Rand and the Evangelical Graham.
Whatever their notions of the nature and destiny of man, their understanding of natural law and the limited government that it necessitates is common.
I started to make this a PM, but then thought it might be a sentiment worth sharing.
“...but the movement I envision has room in it for the Deist Jefferson, the Atheist Rand and the Evangelical Graham.”
I agree. If these groups can come together to fight the left(and I think they are) we will be a strong force.
The core agreement on INDIVIDUAL freedom is a huge deal.

For the record: I am not always a nice-guy on this forum. I can only tolerate ingorance so far, then, admittedly, I can get pretty cranky.
Lately, there have been some people here arguing against the AIG bonuses that have made me very angry as they argue alongside the hard-left.
I have beaten them down relentlessly. :)
I MEAN well, when I must.
