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

[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 was watching C-span also

I didn't catch it either .. someone asked about it, so I replayed the tape and sure enough .. looked like she didn't have one on

[onyx]

Pssssst... Mo1,

[BigSkyFreeper]

[Mo1]

LOL

[onyx]

SEE?
He's just too shy to ask you.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Ah! OK, was just wondering. I didn't tune in to C-SPAN until just before Jimmah Carter spoke. Got the heads up from FOX News, and switched over. My uncle (dyed in the wool ex-military Republican) and I watched most of the big players speeches tonight on C-SPAN, switching from C-SPAN to FNS most of the evening.

[BigSkyFreeper]

You know me; just a shy, harmless, lovable, little fuzzball. :)

[gitmo]

Same to you, fella!

Cry me a river.

I will admit, all politics aside, that Tipper is attractive.

the elimination of liberalism as a significant culturual influence in America

Does this mean you're going to support the Constitution Party from now on?

She looks like she could skip a donut here and there ;-)

[bayourod]

Hey, why did I get pinged? I never went off on anybody. Well, not in a long time. And not anybody who didn't deserve it. At least not recently. OK, maybe a couple yesterday.

leave JWA and fly to Phoenix to get to Fresno....

Jetblue is running a special $29.00 to Las Vegas..... that is out of Long Beach ... Surely there are directs from Vegas to Fresno....

[Tamzee]

Tipper attractive?

Of course she was attractive with no bra, it's a given, right? Though I don't think it would work for Helen Thomas ;-)

Though I don't think it would work for Helen Thomas ;-)

Gawd no! She'll look like she has four knee caps!
