Eating our own...Time to make a new start in Free Republic.
7-26-04 | Bob J

Posted on 07/26/2004 7:41:11 PM PDT by Bob J

The last few months I've seen an increasing trend for FReepers to start going for each others jugular. Sometimes we forget (I've certainly done it myself) that in the grand scheme of things, we are on the same team. We may disagree on priorities or how far we are willing to go, but we have enough enemy in the left without creating more amongst ourselves. We can disagree but be civil to each other. We can debate nuance, but not believe that our personal positions are more important than the health of the whole. Let's argue vigorously but remind ourselves the guy whose trachia we are ripping out today may be sitting next to us in a foxhole tommorrow.

I'm going to propose that we all make a new start. Let's put all past differences behind us and resolve to band together and fight the good fight, the elimination of liberalism as a significant culturual influence in America...and see that to its end in our lifetimes.

If you agree, please post your thoughts and ping your lists and your friends to this thread.

Would someone be good enough to place a third black dot just above the other two? Thanks.

I'd vote for you if you were in my state.
Good luck, and don't say you'll lose BEFORE
the election. Go to work! Campaign!

The only reason my registration number is in the thirties is because I'm on west coast time ;-}.

No, you have said it best:

Free Republic should be where we can recharge our batteries before going out "amongst them English."

"Let's put all past differences behind us and resolve to band together and fight the good fight, the elimination of liberalism as a significant culturual influence in America..."

As long as power trumps principle within the GOP, liberalism will always be given an escape hatch...

Therefore I say stop, pause, and assess our "differences."

Our own can do with an occassional kick in the @ss when need be.

How many old timers have you seen depart in the last few months over little things that seems to have been routine or put up with in the early days. I no longer see those early names. But I know many are just lurking now or have changed their names. It;s time to get back to basics again. a grassroot organization.

Of course it is. It's all democrat aaaaaaaallllllll the time on TV and Radio. I'm not talking about talk radio...I'm talking about regular Country & Western and Rock stations. I've never seen anything like it. It is absolutely disgusting. I slap down rats all day...especially union punks at work all the time and all day long. It's exhausting countering their lies all the time.

The one good sign is that I know that many union guys won't vote for kerry no matter what their union tells them. They are still men, and real men know we need to protect our wives and children and our civilization.

No need to stop the bloodshed... we're on the verge of Universal Healthcare ;-)

I applaud your wisdom and grace in striving for the higher ground and will make an effort to follow in your admirable footsteps. Thanks.
