We (and FR as a site) would all do better to stop taking our eyes off the REAL enemy - the Left - domestic and foreign.
I returned to FR this week (with some lax posting prior to this) to post a "hit piece" from Houston's only daily paper to savage a critic of the Chronicle, the downtown corporate establishment (this was the paper that protected Ken Lay), and state's taxation policies.
What they were doing was very transparent, but those at FR might have been unaware such an attack was even launched as many Houstonian FReepers long ago cancelled their subscriptions and some have even tuned out on KSEV 700AM.
This same paper initiated "news" attacks on Tom DeLay YEARS ago (and an internally leaked memo tipped their hand).
Tell it to those who keep insisting on calling good posters "liberals" and "subversives" and so on.
I'm halfway out the door myself when that nonsense is tolerated. And I defy anyone to say I don't know how to stick up for myself.
