I have been around FR since 1998 and am disappointed with how the invective among Freepers has become. Just reading the vitriolic responses to jstaff's post reinforces my fears. It is always bad to loose a voice, even one we disagree with.

No longer is there back and forth reasoned arguments, but a flurry of insults and canned negative responses that do nothing to further the conservative cause.

Be it Trump, Cruz or any other bogey man, it is no longer a discussion, but a schoolyard bully session.

If the that is the best we can do, we are lost. Make a case. Let the tabloids deal with the stupid stuff.

Re my byline, set a standard. Honestly measure the man against your standard and vote for the one that meets the most of your standard. Anger, and I get it, is not the best driving force for good decisions. Pray that we make the right decision, because, only time will tell. I just don't want to be bloodied and discounted for my opinion.

Great post!...Thank God!... Sanity can prevail when all seems lost here.... ...greater still hearing from a long time Freeper who in that position can “see” what can be possible on this site but isn’t currently....perhaps we should all aspire to this that you wrote....
