Dear dismayed conservatives:
I hereby make these promises to you.
We will protect your lives and livelihoods.
We will listen to and respect your beliefs.
We will never try to force you to change your religion, sexual orientation, or first language.
We will do our best to reduce the number of abortions in our country.
We will have no tolerance for corruption and cronyism, even in our own party.
ESPECIALLY in our own party.
We will never tell you that you are unpatriotic.
We will never tell you that your opinion doesn't count.
We will never waste your lives for power.
We will hold our leaders to a high ethical standard and when they succumb to lust for power, WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
If we forget this, please, please, please, remind us.
We need you to do this. You are America as much as we are. Let's go.
Regards, Ivan
Yeah, I know what you mean - however, it looks like he may be sucking in a few DUers with him, if that's the case. On that one thread appear to be collected nearly all the sane DUers. (However, it's really HARD to find that thread among some of the other vitriol...I would never have found it without the link.)
Excellent.
And good to see you.
Heck, the vitriol is what is visible there.
Reason number one why I don't bother even looking over there.
The gesture means the rude version of "Go forth and multiply".
Regards, Ivan
LOL!
I hear that!
He was no "moderate" at all. He was the predecessor to Ronald Reagan.
From the other thread that just got yanked!
If Free Republic joined with Daily Kos and DU to denounce corruption, cronyism, and dishonesty in government regardless of our political stripes we'll all be better for it.
We denounced it for years under your boy Bill Clinton. We've been denouncing it in the form of Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, et al as recently as today.
We got rid of our sexual predator the second we found out about him. Yours are still in power.
We make our criminals resign, and usually they go to prison. Yours are still serving in Congress, including some under current indictment.
When are you gonna clean house? Because until your side does so, puff pieces like this are just so much Kumbayah-singing.

I saved your post from the black hole of pulled threads. It was soooo good.
Why, thank you! I'm peevish and irritable today, so I'm not feeling very eloquent.
Thread's back up as a Zot thread.
He had started a second thread that was pulled I think.
Probably.
From the scourge upon the planet that is "Christian Nazi fundamentalism" whatever you're calling us this week.
We will listen to and respect your beliefs.
Haha, come on, I don't think even you believe that.
We will never try to force you to change your religion, sexual orientation, or first language.
Of course not, you'll just get rid of religion altogether. And then there's that whole "you should have some BJ's from a gay man that only speaks Spanish, you might like it" crowd..."Normalcy Must Be Abolished!"
We will do our best to reduce the number of abortions in our country.
Here's an idea, you stop having sex. You know, for the common good. That should kill two birds with one stone.
We will have no tolerance for corruption and cronyism, even in our own party.
Gee, how thoughtful...have you made a special exemption for shady land deals in southern Nevada yet?
ESPECIALLY in our own party.
Ooohh, can your daddy beat up my daddy?
We will never tell you that you are unpatriotic.
Mostly because we are patriotic.
We will never tell you that your opinion doesn't count.
You mean our racist, crazed gun-totin' right wing christian fundamentalist opinions count now?? Wooo hooo! Let's all go shoot us up somethin' 'our u'pinuns count!!
We will never waste your lives for power.
We'll just raise your taxes and waste that instead.
We will hold our leaders to a high ethical standard and when they succumb to lust for power, WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
Well if you look like Nancy and Hillary, you have to lust after something.
If we forget this, please, please, please, remind us.
What do you think we were doing during the Clinton Administration, cooking meth and thumping on our Bibles?
We need you to do this. You are America as much as we are. Let's go.
Well, I know I'M America. You on the other hand...
26 and Barry Goldwater is your cousin?....All my cousins are roughly the same age as I am......
Now, I DO have a great-great grandfather, but I don't think his boys would be any direct relationship to me...gimme a break - talk about pretentious! - that's generations away.....
Hey, wait a minute - One of my Great grandfather's brother's sons was wounded in the Civil War......HEY! I guess HE WAS MY COUSIN!!
Go back to DU
Why don't you see if DU will let any of us post our beliefs over there? I won't hold my breath.
Bye-bye troll. Hope you enjoyed yer stay.
Are you for real... History will record that in 2004 the Democrats who were not the party in power saw that George W. Bush for taking the war to the terrorists had the Potential to become the 21st century equivelant to FDR. Obviously that would have ended their party in politics for many years so they embarked on a misssion to undermine George W. Bush.... So what we see today is the fruition of tearing down the man that took action.... In other words when Bill Clinton wagged his finger at Chris Wallace and stated plainly that he was responsible for 911... I tried and failed well you see unlike Clinton Bush tried and will succeed in the GWOT.
Looks like DUmmie "Lander" got banned.
