Why do you give a rap where this thread goes?
The OP opened the door in post #1...take it up with him.
I did take it up with the OP--see my post 2622. I addressed it to Jim also.
That is good Freeper etiquette.
About the hateful lies against Freepers on this thread--there have been almost too many to count.And that is just on the political side of the discussion.When you get to the religious side of the discussion, it's a regular circular firing squad.
Now, the thread has turned in a different direction. The political has disappeared--now it is about people's religion, and whether they are fit enough to be here because of it.
I don't like it and I have said so.
But like herding cats, I know that telling Freepers that they are out of bounds is a fruitless exercise. Nevertheless, I felt dutybound to at least try.
We do have rules here that help to moderate our discussion, and I try to take them seriously. I am not always successful in that endeavor.
