My God, can we can the negativity??? (Vanity)

Posted on 10/03/2008 2:18:04 PM PDT by jeffo

Dear Lord, can we cut the negative crap around here? If our conservative ideology has taught us anything its that you and I, the private sector people, can withstand and fix anything in our economy. We (or our fathers/grandfathers) beat the depression, Hitler, scandal, Malaise, Carter, Clinton, Soros (oh yes, George, some of us see your hand trying to slap Adam Smith's away from time to time) and by God the free market will even be able to fix this mess and the bigger messes the bailout may cause. That is, unless we bury our heads in the sand and cry woe is us, this time the problem is too big.

I'm sorry, but thats not how we do things. That 777 point thud we heard the other day was a lot of the cowards leaving the market and good riddance to them. Unreasoned panic is the only thing that can make this a truly cataclysmic event, and unfortunately its in huge supply here on FR!

I would expect to hear such personal attacks emanate from the left, not the right. You are a discredit to conservatism.

You remain in a teensy-weensy minority here, I’ve grown tiresome of clicking on your name, I’ve clicked on your name numerous times now because of your negativity.

Seattle is very depressing and if I recall the suicide capitol of America, I suggest you move.

“Did you ever watch Ronald Reagan ? he was not a details guy either.”

That’s not the point. Palin was heavily criticized for not being ready for the job. She needed to come out swinging last night and have the proof that she was ready for the job. She did neither. She should have ripped Biden’s head off, but she was too meek.

Love thy neighbor..

It’s only negative because (rightly so)..peole have become so enraged with the irresponibility of their supposedly “elected represenatives” (Over half don’t represent the American people anymore)!

Look, we are imperfect human beings and when something bad happens, we are ALLOWED to be upset, we are ALLOWED to cry. We are ALLOWED to grieve when our government steps through the door of socialism.

A lot of us have been fighting this for quite some time, a heck of a lot of passioned phone calls, letters, faxes and emails. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN OUR GOVERNMENT.

WE ARE ALLOWED TIME TO GRIEVE AND THROW OURSELVES AROUND....before we come back to our senses to fight it. It's a process. Please no lectures.

I looked at your previous posts, and they’re nothing but whining about Palin. Someone here isn’t a credit to conservatism, but I don’t think it’s me.

She did NOT dodge every question. I don't know if we watched the same debate, but 1/4 - 1/3 the way through, Biden was getting the last word. Sarah obviously could NOT allow a lie to hang there, in the air, for all to see. She was fighting the system.

If you did not see that, then I question YOU!

“Dear Lord, can we cut the negative crap around here?”

Earth to Jeff, we’re getting our asses handed to us. We’re facing a future of bankruptcy, battling Obamachev’s Red Guards and having to pay for sattelite to get Rush.

I think we’re entitled to bitch a little.

Free Republic has become the home of the bitter disgruntles.

Those are, by the way, much worse than the bitter clingers.

Really, They won’t shut up, They never say anything informative or helpful, They just manage to annoy and depress the rest of us.

I know They don’t care, but I come here far less often since They’ve taken over.
