Hmm I don’t find it sad...
I think questioning, researching, debating, and disagreeing are very healthy especially on a forum that has the following on its home page:
Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for INDEPENDENT, grass-roots conservatism on the web.
... forum is read daily by over two hundred thousand freedom loving citizens and patriots from all around the country, and all around the world.
...Free Republic is not affiliated with any political party,
group, news source, government agency or anyone else.
What I do find sad* is that because some don’t come out in lock-step agreement with President Trump on an issue, out come the labels... a “Hippie” a “big giant pussy,” a “cut and run moron,”a “Dick Weed” a “Liberal” a “Troll,” and I am sure there are a few more names I missed...
This has happened here with the Healthcare bill and now this missile launch.
It is one thing to disagree with an idea—fine, but quite another to impugn fellow Freepers because they disagree on a position. Reminds me of back in early 2016 when when Trump supporters were under relentless personal attacks because they did not support Cruz...
Disagree with my position, but don’t call me a hippie, liberal, troll or worse because I don’t share your view.
I am trying to be A, at this point I am a B.
*This really was not directed at you—just seemed like a good place to post this.
The question was basically “was Trump right or was he wrong”?
And the many “Hell no” answers, which did not indicate whether they liked or disliked Trunp’s action was what I was commenting on. It reminds me of how many times Freepers reply without even reading the excerpt.
Oh well. Not everyone is capable of yes or no options.
I agree with you. I’m not A or B. I wanted Trump to be President since the day he rode down the gold escalator. But I can only operate out of the knowledge I can find. There are atrocities everywhere, and America has helped save people all over the world. That is something we can be proud of. I’d like to be able to trust President Trump.
I’m wary of all the times we’ve been lied to and misled by all of our leaders and media. I don’t want to be just a battered wife of the elite any more. It doesn’t matter what I think. I’m waiting and hoping and praying.
