I am so sick of the lack of logic used on Free Republic when some argue either for or against Trump or Ted Cruz whom I do not support, or at least a declaratory opinion/argument by a creeper who AT LEAST explains his or her line of reasoning/thinking.
All of the blustern(either made up in someone's mind) or taken directly from either of the campaigns (which are not based ON ANY evidence other than the candidate or a surrogate's opinions are worth NOTHING).
As conservatives, libertarians, tea partiers, Christians, constitutionalists, nationalists/Proud Americans, Republicans, yes even some moderates, shouldn't we at least try to elevate the conversation when we debate? Let's try out reason, logic, respect and facts, huh?
While we're at it can we cut out the snark, name calling and personal attacks that have become the norm around here just because someone supports a candidate you don't like! I'll admit that I am not guilt free on this charge, and to anyone I have personally offended occasionally either intentionally or not I ask forgiveness. I try to keep my conversations civil as both a. Christian and conservative.

Logic?
Sorry about some of the weird words/grammar used in my opening post, my iPhone likes to write things I did not type.
It got like this in 2012. It’s frustrating and a waste of prescious life minutes but I get drawn in so can’t complain.
All Conservatives respect the Constitution
Everyone who respects the Constitution is a patriot
Therefore
Your candidate is a poopy-head
Some even disdain philosophy and logic in general as being too pointy-headed or of the Devil, i.e. argument not directly from and only from the Bible.
It would really have been nice of God if he could have listed the candidates we were supposed to support up until the end of times. Evidently he had more important things to explain to us in the Bible.
Emotions are running high.
It kept on raining — and the now the levee is going to break.
You started it! (Just kidding. I agree with what you’re saying.)
There is a roaming pack of posters that do nothing but fill this place with venom all day and every day.
They are the creators of the vitriol this season.
Btw I do support Cruz, I blame my iPhone for saying otherwise.
Logic?
We don't need no steenking logic!
We rely entirely on knee jerks, double takes and innuendoes.
How does logic play in to that?
Really...national level political season on Free Republic is truly silly season.
You've been around here since '05...surely you remember some of the wars?
Downright nasty...nasty stuff a few times.
Nature of the beast.
They're conspiring against us. ;-)
And, I agree about the attacks and treatment of fellow FReepers.
Maybe we could ask that guy who is always posting his prophecies in the religious forum, talking like God in the 1st person, he could clue us in :)
CAPITAL, CAPITAL idea...
I still remember the reaction of many here when I said in 2007 that supporting/nominating McCain was a huge disaster for the GOP and conservatives and that you may as well just vote for the Democrat and get it over with.
Bump
Can't they be banned or put in time-out or something?
You're no fun.
Sometimes posters like to use either sarcasm or satire that some people don’t get; then get all testy when it’s pointed out them that it is. Have to wear your big girl panties or big boy pants and go with it, don’t let it upset you.
Conservatism is of no interest any more to a vocal segment of posters here. And they boast of it. And are allowed to do so on and on ad nauseam.
Restoring the republic is the last thing on Trump’s mind.
Something dark this way comes.
Hope that is civil and respectful.
