so sorry about the lack of vanity tag,,,,,don’t often opine about much and when did people on FR become so nasty?
“............... and when did people on FR become so nasty?”
Unfortunately some people believe that blunt/tackless speaking/posting is proof positive of their “conservative credentials.”
Never occurs to them that Ronald Reagan was gracious and kind in all of his interactions, and that being hard core nasty just goes to reinforces the left’s charactorization of the right to the majority of our fellow citizens that are not political junkies......
A real “Big C” Conservative can, and does make his/her case in a well reasoned, civil manner. You don’t have to act like a jerk to make your point, and, in fact, doing so detracts from what otherwise is a winning message.
Mostly I think that people that behave in a disrespectful manner, especially to their fellow conservatives, have deeply seated personal problems/frustrations. There is no need to be one of the phony tough either in real life or as a FReeper cyber world Conservative.
