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.

I'll lay you three to one odds that this thread will become a raging flame wars if it goes another 200 posts.

only the left-wing radical extremist can do their ant-farm lock-step one-thought for all.

That's one thing that makes any discussion or argument with a true liberal totally worthless and useless --- they can't argue, they can't discuss --- get with a large group of them, mention "welfare" and it's like a harmonious hum --- they all agree 100%, mention "abortion" and the same thing, mention anything --- and it's like they're all reading from the same exact page on all topics. It's much more vibrant with Conservatives --- because they all think for themselves and come up with their own set of opinions on every topic --- makes for fun debates.

I've never given up, but, one has to choose where your efforts will get the greatest return.

On a serious note, Bob's right. We Freepers are in this together, or should be. This election is VERY important and we HAVE been eating our own.

The only ones I've taken to task are the Republicans in the Senate, who have no backbone to push Bush's agenda through the Senate. If that means tearing McCain apart, so be it. If I gotta make nice with the same Republicans in the Senate who have no backbone to support Bush's overall policies, I won't have any part in this "make nice" business.

The Democrats seem united because the MSM makes them appear united. They aren't any more unified than they lead us to believe. If they were totally unified, Al Gore wouldn't have had scattered applause throughout his speech, and a standing ovation when he finished it. Al Gore is irrelevant, at least for me, but I think we can all agree he's dull.

My main focus is re-electing Bush, no matter what it takes.

I'm a registered Republican only based on the fact that the Republican party contains many of the same views of my personal ideology. I am first and foremost a Conservative.

When a debate gets that point, that's ridiculous.

It's not Freepers, it's antifreepers and the DU crowd.
