You have described the circumstances succinctly.
Mommy and her ilk are destroying this site...and trying to destroy our country.
‘propaganda.’
Propaganda ignores facts. Science follows factual truth of evidence wherever it might lead. So, the antidote to propaganda is the finding factual truth through scientific inquiry of competing claims based on evidence.
IMO, Free Republic provides a guideline to discover truth without chaos:
1- Use common courtesy when posting.
2- Do not post insults or personal attacks against your fellow FReepers.
3- Do not engage in flame-wars or feuds. If you find yourself falling into one, disengage immediately and move on.
4- Do not badger other Freepers.
5- Do not demand an answer.
6- Do not enter onto a thread on a topic you don’t like just to disrupt, rattle cages, poke sticks, insult the regulars, or engage in trolling activities, etc.
7- If someone says stop, stop.
