I would go so far to say that we, as a species, are at a crossroads.

Yes, liberals as a species are at the crossroads, and here is hoping for your extinction, IDIOT!!!!

This urge to purge must be curbed.

I refuse to give up my RIGHT to PURGE. It's my party and I'll purge if I want to.

This is a follow-up to my original 'reply' post @16. I had noted that I'd be making contact with the author of the article referenced in the original thread. I have done so and this is the text portion of that email:

"I am writing you in response to an article you authored and made available at
http://www.madison.com/tct/opinion//index.php?ntid=50012&ntpid=4

I am a frequent contributor on freerepublic.com , a site that is more populated by those to the right of center and others who are Independents and/or of a 'traditionalist' persuasion. A thread was started by someone else referencing your article and after reading it I opined as post #16 on that thread.

I did NOT treat you or those of your political bent kindly at all and offered that I would contact you and ask you to defend a portion of your remarks that I found rather disengenuous. To that end, I'm inviting you to go to
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1460847/posts?page=1
and address this issue, which I will be more than happy to respond to. It's one thing to stand in the bleachers at your home field and cast about all-encompassing assertions, but quite another to visit the visitor's field and justify and defend them in open debate.

I sincerely hope you respond, Bob (doctorhugo)"

So! Time will tell.

So buying into the democrat program means what...shrieklng no to everything the majority proposes?

Ron Perlstein of the Village Voice is the only liberal scribe who has been known to enter into courteous debate on Free Republic.

I don't expect that Fred Schepartz is cut from the same cloth.

Well! Then he'll have revealed himself for what he is. Another big-mouthed leftie who is afraid to stand up and back up all the charges he makes in open debate. It doesn't take any cahones to do what they do. I call them DEAD-END HEROES. When you follow them down to the end of the street and block their exit all they can do is brown their britches!

I've got no reply to my direct email to him either, but I'm not goin' anywhere. I can wait. Maybe he'll drop in and read some of this and be provoked to respond. Whatever!
