Great post!!!
Good article...and Jim wrote another one yesterday...
I’ve never seen it this bad, but there is a lot on this election that we didn’t see before, maybe if this type of election took place with obuma, our Nation wouldn’t be in the condition that it’s in today...
But whatever obuma has done, will now have to be followed because the courts made their ruling with him...
I’d have to say hear, hear. Pretty much encapsulates my feelings too. There are no perfect candidates, so trying to browbeat others into picking one or another isn’t going to work. Right now we are a circular firing squad.
Well said! Thank you.
No flame here. Thank you for saying what I have been feeling also.
I understand what you’re saying here and thank you for saying it. The ugliness between Cruz/Trump supporters has really gotten out of hand. I’m going to vote for my guy in the primaries and wait and see what happens. Not much else I can truly do. I’m trying not to bad mouth anyone because the person I don’t care for may wind up as our nominee. I would much rather take this fight to the Democrats. I still believe that any of our current runners are better than theirs. Just waiting my turn here in Missouri!
Completely agree.
Good post!
Nothing will change here. The site owner Jim Robinson posted something similar yesterday and it seems to have had no effect.
Well said!
I agree with the general tenor of your post. I used to enjoy coming here for camaraderie, humor and education. I have learned so much on this site over the years. Lately, though, all of that feels like a fleeting memory. Tons of Trump and Cruz threads which I’ve stopped reading because the comments are not much more than bile and vitriol.
You cannot talk to ignorant fools that much of our society has become. We are at a crossroads of the end of America and these idiots cannot understand that lies and distortions are one of the reasons we are in the spot we have ended.

I did not think FR was going to survive August, 2012.
We have not gotten that low yet.
But you point is well taken.
Its only moderate/liberals that never tolerate dissent because they never, ever have an answer and don't want to be questioned about their choice.
Intolerance if their opinion, is their deadly sin!
Here, we can tell, shout and scream our differences, just like family but in the end, we love one another, pray for one another and cry and mourn with one another!
Sorry if you find that upsetting.
Being a middle child, I learned very early in that there would be nothing left if I didn't grab my share and guess what, if my just barely little brother, whined, mom made me "share" with him! Guess what, when he finished, there wasn't anything left!
I,m with you. And I live in New Jersey where we are always civil. Especially in Newark, Camden, East Orange, ET AL.
Well said and sadly way too true. I have been here since 1998 and have seen the same decline in the quality and civility of many of the posts and posters. It seemed to me to have started with the Bushbots who wouldn’t broker any discussion that wasn’t politically oriented and pro “W”. Gone are the days of intelligent threads about mythology, science, history and philosophy. Yes FR is and has always been a political driven forum, but it was nice in the past when we engaged in conversations about other intelligent issues.
I was once asked a general question about the demographics of freepers and was amazed at the diversity in age, careers, geography and educational experience. A true mosaic of intelligent thoughtful people. I’m afraid those days are gone.
I’ve noticed the same thing.
I assumed it was a temporary malady which will be cured at the Republican convention. Then, we’ll be one big happy dysfunctional family again.
At least, that is my hope.
We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.
