If you agree with the Epoch Times and get pushback from paleocons, populist conservatives, and NRx then too bad, so sad.
They are paid infiltrators. One way or another your tax dollars are probably paying them.
The ugliness has gotten so bad that I can barely read the comments on most threads. Good people just walk away and quit engaging when the bullies and trolls aren’t dealt with.
In my experience, “military” no longer means predictably conservative or anywhere close to traditional American.
If the military man in question was a commissioned officer, the leftism is nearly total. There are scant few normal American men in that bunch today.
A coworker who was an F-16 pilot reads every woke book that comes out, “white Fragility, etc etc.” And always yammers away about it. He thinks too many white males at the Air Force academy, etc etc.
Odd.
I see it, too.
On the plus side, IMO it’s a sign of their desperation. They are losing the cultural war (despite the constant drumbeat of the fake news). They know they are losing. They are desperate to foist their views on us.
Continue to stand strong. When we speak up, we give a voice to those who are too afraid to speak.
God bless.
Wow. Can you link to an example? Been here 22 years and I have only been hit by the RINOs here on threads about Ukraine or regarding race and crime.
No. We have a lot of trolls that are not being swept under the rug and dealt with, disposed of. Very unfortunate for our ability long term to have a decent community for discussion. Not sure who is currently calling the shots.
Great site with tons of great freepers. A clue is that when someone now needs help, it’s only from older freepers, that they will take it. I agree, I won’t trust anyone pre Obama, sorry for being honest. The truth is the truth.
Regular legit mods that are here on a regular basis... How is it missed?
My thought is that these people here are of the Clay and Buck ilk, and are purposely out to disparage the older, wiser crowd in favor of the “new republicans” of the squishy middle.
I grew up in a leftist community.
My high school and college were filled with leftists.
I didn’t agree with them on anything.
You learn how to cope.
Those of us who grew up with that kind of adversity got tough and skilled at defending our views as needed.
One powerful technique is humor.
True leftists cannot laugh at themselves and have no sense of humor.
Their brains explode when you laugh at them with clever and original humor.
I also learned to do my homework before making a point.
I would not just say “X is true”. I would be able to prove it—often with sources they liked and approved. That is very powerful when you can do that.
Be a happy and skillful warrior.
You need to ignore them. Grow a thicker skin. It’s not you, it’s them. It happens to me also. I just don’t respond.
Find a neighbor who believes as you, pay attention to them, grow a network of people you can trust. When the SHTF you’ll be prepared as will your friends. Your kids will come around .
They come and go and always have. There are more of them now.
Time for an old-fashioned ZOT party perhaps
They start an argument hoping the other person will respond, and then they taunt back, often using a closing statement asserting some kind of weakness or fault in the OP. This is intended to get that person to emotionally respond again.
After several rounds of this clogging up a thread, other readers will drop out because the thread is hard to read with true content buried in the back-and-forth attacks.
Don't fall for it. Just let it go. If they persist, report abuse and move on.

You have a very good point. In the range of conservative voices, there can be disagreement. But not over fundamental principles.
May I remind, however, that one of the goals of the Left is to demoralize. Please do not allow them to demoralize any longer.
Best wishes.
There’s also vaxxtards and blue boot lickers too.
Lesson 1.
Don’t feed the Trolls.
You know the Trolls from their programmed responses. Cut-n-Paste site to site.
Best is to simply not engage them. Don’t reply to their rediculous posts.
Also, some RINO Freepers get their holier-than-thou spirit on defending Florida Man or Nimarata. Just drop it already. You played, and lost.
We MAGAs got pilloried with “Will you support the Republican Nominee?”. Shoe, meet other foot.
Will y’all finally get on the Trump Train and help defeat The Left? Or ya gonna now become Thune-icans and push for the “unique moment in time” crapola?
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me;
“Am I the only one who is sick and tired of having comments I make on a thread on FR trashed and bashed by left wingers masquerading as FReepers?”
I find the FR folks are pretty quick to id a leftist troll and confront them with facts. The open air content lets us hear from the deranged left so we can show how weak their arguments are. Hopefully with an appreciable amount of sarcasm and ridicule.
