I was addressing the FACT that a lot of former FReepers have been zotted and others have left voluntarily.

Yes, stupid is stupid and I guess they got tired of being called stupid by the stupid. There are too many Willie Greens these days!

Bottom line is, several weeks ago some people were laughing about zotting some old time FReepers. There are even more who have left voluntarily because they no longer wanted to be part of FR.

The unintended consequence is they all took their former FReepathon donations with them...many were longtime monthly donors.

We remember when FR had an influence...interviewed frequently on TV and radio. Those days are over! FR's reputation is shot!

Fights between brothers are always the worst. It takes a lot to get them fighting so when it finally comes to blows all the old grievances come out. That is where we are now. This is an ugly primary. It could be no other way. So long as everybody still things their guy can win the fight will stay ugly.

Now most of our guys (or girls) will lose or didn't run at all. So the question is what happens after the last punch of the primaries is thrown. If Newt wins can we get behind him as being a heck of a lot better than Obmaa. If Romney wins can we pull the group together to fight for the down tickent races.

This is a conservative activism web site, not a conservative pacifism web site. I may not have been here 13 years but have been cussed out and called every name in the book. And there have been times where I just had to log off for a week before I had a stroke or said something that would get me zotted. There is a time for cooling off and a time to bring the heat.

But whatever it takes to get our heads right we need to be here in September-November. There will be 469 federal offices on the ballot November 6. There will be thousands of state and local offices, all of which play a part. In such numbers we can all find someone to work with, some cause worth standing up for. Nothing worth having is to be purchased cheaply. If the only cost is to be hammered by some on-line keyboard warrior there are far worse fates. We must find the victories we can, even if they aren't at the top of the ticket.

Speaking as one seen "laughing about zotting some old time FReepers," if you are honest you will admit that most of us only cheer the removal of certain paleos.

Those who behave like Willie Green, Dane and B-Chan while hiding behind tenure earn their demise.

For the record, while I've cheered the expulsion of several paleos, I've also been among those calling for Lazamataz's multiple returns.
