In the past couple of years I have noticed there is a complete lake of regard for other posters on this site. Not only that but swearing seems to be tolerated. In the past day I have been called gay, a lair, that I am talking out of my *** and I am full of ****. Do we even have to go into the fighting on any thread about Ukraine or Russia. Even hard facts from multiple sources no longer seem to matter. Instead it is whoever can come up with the snarkiest reply.
I have
This is series.
Did I hurt your feewings? Man up buttercup.
Tl;dr.
Yup.
Try telling the truth about that gay supporting donald trump and his LGBT supporting wife and their log cabin republicans rallies at mar-a-lago on April 19, 2024 and just watch what they say about you then.
Trump is as big a gay supporter as any dem, and so called Christian Maga types hate you for actually sticking up for the Bible when you speak of Melania or
Donald.

The decline of our culture is, of course, in full swing. It’s depressing. The standards our nation used to have reflected biblical values. We will disagree but it should be with reason and respect. Speak the truth in love. Sometimes the truth hurst. Iron sharpens iron. We’ve come a long ways from Gone with the Wind having to pay a fine to anything and everything goes in the name of “art.” Freedom today means freedom from all restrictions on the almighty self.
The last spiritual move of God in the US was the Jesus People, flower power era - and it was not like previous move of God in our nation. In one of the revivals back at the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Chicago shut down all businesses at noon so people could go pray in their church or synagog - the impact of the revival being so strong. Can you ever imagine that happening again? The Church in America has lost its voice and is so compromised no one need listen to it.
I think a lot of the problems at FR developed back during the H. Clinton vs D. Trump election. It never recovered after that. Many people threw in the towel and have never come back. My personal view is that there were problems on both sides - posters and moderators. Trump was God and you could not say anything against him.
I use to love to read the comments before all that as they were intelligent, informative and usually very funny. I still read and am still thankful that this site exists - but I do miss the old days.
There are lots of words to express yourself in the English language. Profanity should be rare. Unfortunately, we seem to have lost our shared belief in a holy God that we will all stand before one day. That fear and respect for him has all but disappeared. As a result, there is not the restraint on our actions as in former days. It shows up here on FR and most likely elsewhere. May we individually return to him and seek to honor him in all we do, say and write.
Yep. This is less of a conservative site and more of a populist site nowadays (sad to say).
It works so well in Congress.
Different posters, different cliques.
Used to have daily Apple spamming, now it is the Zeepers.
Used to have the smoker’s mafia attacking if you said something negative, now it is the never -Trump or DeSantis groups.
Some personalities that seemed to post just to argue come and go. They are easy to spot.
That could be, oddly I think it was about a 2002 version.
I dont remember when I started watching and dont remember it from back then. Long story short, my internal database was corrupted about 17 months ago. Some things were entirely deleted, sometimes since then I start talking about something and everything I said was correct, at least it would be if I was talking about the same subject you were but somehow got some pointers out of wack and inserted a “correct” dialog about cotton candy machines in the middle of your discussion on submarines.
I do remember that it was around 2002, maybe as late as 2004, that I turned off Fox because I couldnt stand the anti-american Israel first crap Levin and Hannity were doing and their whole array of RINO circus freaks. A guest at my house was watching AitF on TV and asked me, “Ive never understood those lyrics, what are they saying?” Those were the lyrics used on that episode then.
Its strange how the mind works.
My kids are incredulous when I tell them that the Billy Graham Crusades were on prime time on network TV.
Totally agree. Usually the ones crying just cry to Daddy because they are ticked off that others have a differing opinion. I have said this for many years around here now “ I come here to get my daily insult because I know I can get at least one a day”. Toughened me up.
It isn’t hard to stay off a thread when it is a subject you don’t agree with.
We are in a battle for our very freedoms and this is what a person is upset about. More censorship and control makes the problem even worse.
Thank you, you are one of the people that keep me coming back to FR.

LS, I don't see you around as much as I used to (how do you find the time anyway?) but I always keep an eye out for your thoughts! Hope all is well...:)
Fwiw, I see defending one’s home, nation, history, people, language, freedom and way of life against a foreign invader as being far from senseless. This is about as noble a fight as one can have, to fight for and if necessary to give one’s life for friends, family, neighbors and strangers, alike.
Giving aid to those in that fight, especially in their fight against the Russians, who have been against us in almost every conflict we’ve had since the Second World War, seems like the most moral thing for us to do.
Better to be a Good Samaritan than to judge whether someone is worthy of our help or not or to look the other way when being asked for help, which seems less than honorable given our Christian heritage, our great God given wealth and our status in the world.
I believe if your neighbors were being robbed, you’d probably intervene in some way to help them even if you didn’t like them, right? Or have I misjudged you?
The bottom line is, there would be no war if Putin didn’t keep bringing one to his neighbors and this war would “end” if he goes back home.
It’s his war. His casualties. And his eternal consequences, too, unless he repents and starts loving his neighbors instead of trying to kill and subjugate them.
“Because you can find the video online that shows the entire event and he was sitting down.”
You don’t think I haven’t seen the video, along with the whole globe. You must be the only one who has not, if you believe what you posted.

Thou shalt not bear false witness
Trump has been the main victim of this type of unbiblical actions of your govt since 2015..
