If you review the top comments on this thread, a reasonably rational critique of Corsi's opinion (about air traffic, I believe) was met with "yeah, but illegal immigration." Now
that is a perfect example of the Alinsky method that another FReeper (on this thread) sees everywhere but not when it is in front of her face.
In any case, all we do here is exchange opinions. Some opinions are more worthy of ridicule than others. There is no requirement that every opinion deserves a fair hearing, or that every opinion should be given equal weight. In other words (using an extreme and recent example), posting a link about concentration camps on a Corsi thread doesn't help matters in any fashion, regardless of where you fall on this issue.
I would agree with most of your #128 points. There has been some good debate on this thread. An exchange of information and opinions is what I would hope is most desired in FR. We can energetically express our opinions, thoughts, and beliefs about the myriad subject matters posted here and, even agree to disagree, but there's no good, productive reason why it can't be done is a civil and courteous manner. To do otherwise just serves to feed the baser nature of our individual character.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.....at the least to fellow conservative FReepers. Gotta exit for now and take care of some business. I'll check back later. It's been my pleasure. - OB1
