I’m one of those interested ones. Freedom on Free Republic is not mine to grant or set as a priority seeing that I don’t make or enforce rules, nor do I have any control over the site.
As to my other beliefs, I defend them when I feel the occasion warrants and at my choosing but FR isn’t my personal web site so I don’t try to use it as such.
I’m a guest in someone else’s house so I try not to insult the other guests (at least not too much) or irritate the host. But never at the cost of tossing honesty out the back door, I hope.
Not too complicated but then I’m not too complicated.
I've learned even more things about evolution that cause me pause. My thought has been that Darwin was and his modern day “disciples” are racists. If only the black community could grasp that, we'd see a flood of them leaving the democratic party. Perhaps a repackaging, (unfortunately “dumbing down”) of Darwinism and evolution from the conservative perspective to inform the masses would help that. Their ears always perk up at the race card.
Thanks to all of you for an interesting read!
