Eating our own...Time to make a new start in Free Republic.

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.

the guy whose trachia we are ripping out today I find that imagery highly offensive. I'm telling.

I've noticed that if you inadvertantly get your facts or a fact wrong........you had better duck and maybe even don an asbestos suit depending on the fact in error. Why can't the error just be pointed out, as opposed to ripping the poor errant soul to shreads? This to me seems more prevelant than the reactions to philisophical differences.
BTW; I oppologize to anybody I've pi$$ed off.

I completely understand what you're saying, but there are people around here whose sole purpose for joining this site is to cause trouble and create chaos.

I agree 100%!
Time for out with the old and in with the new.
Life is too short to let petty differences keep us from our common goals.
If I've upset YOU I offer my apologize.
