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.

I'm telling.

Martin, first rule of FreeRepublic is what is on FR stays on FR.

It never goes on the Internet.

You should know that!!!!

Just damn!!

I'm going to forget that fast.
I promise.

Yep. Gore was on tonight. As Brit Hume said "As far as his speech goes, nothing has changed." That certainly was the case. He hasn't moved on from Florida 2000. The only thing different from Gore tonight though was, he wasn't brandishing a huge vein in his forehead big enough to tow a car with.

I'm having a case of the vapors right now; you'll have to excuse me.

"I'm taking my ball and going home!"

Something I've never understood: if it truly is my ball, what's wrong with me taking it and going home?

DOODLELADY!

[onyx]

NOT you.
And you KNOW that.

[TheSpottedOwl]

It's a good idea. We should just try and remember why we're here in the first place. To save our country. For the record, I've never had a problem with you Bob.

[onyx]
