I have discovered that Liberals do not have a corner on the mob "group-think" mentality, and the side of the political spectrum that I had always believed to be the more rational and objective has shown me the error of my assumption.
There are some very reasonable and objective people who discuss things on this website, but their voices are often drowned out by the loud, knee jerk reactionaries and by various agenda driven folk.
Rumor mongering and vile gossip have become all too common, and so many people just swallow up the latest bilge, seemingly without any sort of skepticism.
Forget looking for an honest man. It would be enough just to find reasonable ones, and then yet there too I often must go a begging.
My experiences lately have left me looking for other things to do. Trading ideas and discussing things just does not seem so quite satisfying as it once was.
I’ve gone to a virtual Galt’s Gulch on most of the GOPee primary firefight.
Well, that’s philosophical! Good job.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way in...
Free Republic is no longer frequented by those who believe constitutional principles are bedrock. Instead the emphasis is on “American principles”, a very slippery slope. Unfortunately, Hillary, Barack and Bernie can all lay claim to representing American principles, which are simply the political soup de jure.
This is an anti-intellectual trend. And no I am not an anti-Trump proponent like the NRO pseudo-intellectuals. I’m just saying you cant have intellectual discourse when we are assaulted by memes (”Lyin’ Ted” is a meme, not discourse).
If I say, for example, that Donald Trump’s Ethanol policy is pandering cronyism, I will be called a friend of Lucifer for pointing out that ethanol is an environmental and economic disaster. When in the throes of a personality cult, don’t expect enlightenment from those wielding pitchforks.
Things are quieting down. Many have self deported over the past few weeks.
I didn’t see the opus part.
“Checking in every 15 minutes for earth shaking news”
Ohhhhhh.....you have to check in every 16 minutes for the earth shaking news. You might get some earth rumbling news every 15 minutes, but the earth shaking news is a minute later.
Now, earth shattering news is every half hour unless it’s Tuesday.
When God created chattering monkeys, He endowed them with feelings and egos, which are fragile.
It’s chaos! Dogs liking cats, Indiana being relevant in the primary!
I will confess a certain impatience toward the drama queens we've been seeing the last few days who apparently feel that (1) everyone who disagrees with them is evil, and (2) that FR is going to melt into a puddle of goo at their departure. Let them go.
Politics is a rough and tumble enterprise. It has never been some sort of respectful exchange of ideas. Sometimes it’s worse than others. But with a govt of such sweeping extra institutional powers as we now have, expect it to be pretty brutal. Politics is not for the faint of heart. If one can’t take it then stay out of the kitchen.
It helps me that I did my year in Nam. The “worst” that anyone can do on the Internet is weak tea in comparison. Being called foul names is merely an amusement now.
If you think the FR is bad try DailyKos or DU. At least you don’t see a lot of personal threats on the FR.
>> Yet I’m still here waiting for those days to return
Marriage is an ongoing process that requires participation.
So... post the sort of articles that you’d like to see.
Lay off Trump. Non Bye!
