We are all friends. People on Free Republic are all friends. We may not agree on everything, but we share many common ideas about making our nation great and keeping our families safe and prosperous.
I argue with a lot of people, and about a lot of subjects, but I do not walk away with resentment towards any of them. This is the internet. If you get upset about people calling you names or smearing your character, you don't belong in discussion forums on the internet. :)
We Freepers are still Friends, at least so far as I'm concerned.
I appreciate your pretty words, and agree that patriots are fundamentally brothers.
But on the battlefield of ideas, the Flubro and the Fearbro are mortal enemies. The opposing ideologies cannot coexist in peace. It is known.
Two ideas enter, one idea leaves.
