And, respectfully, there was abundant life before Q - and before FR.

I was being bullied for my conservative, Christian views by Fourth Grade, while my father was recovering from campaigning for Barry Goldwater, who was sabotaged by proto-RINO Neocons.

Nota Bene: One’s history on this website does not determine one’s conservative bona fides - far from it.

I remember that election. The MSM sure did a good job scuttling an honorable man’s campaign.

I love to listen to Goldwater saying, I would remind you that extremism in defense of liberty is no vice, and let me remind you also, that moderation in the pursuit of Justice is no virtue.

Here’s a link to a collection of brief clips of people from the 60s, set to music MLK, Regan, Goldwater and others.

It always cheers me up to listen to this for some reason.

My only complaint was that Q obsessers sought to high-jack threads of an opposing viewpoint.

One of the problems with FR and I've been here for 20 years plus (even back in the CompuServe days).

Elections really folks obsessed and a lot get angry and attack if you don't blindly fall into the GOP mode.

Question Bush? You hate America. Don't care for McCain in 2008 because he was a dick? You want Obama to win. Aren't loving Romney/Ryan? You want more Obama and should die.

Now you can't find many Freepers that will admit to liking W Bush, loving McCain or worshiping at the feet of the great Romney conservative. Don't get me started on the Trump/Cruz thing or how much everyone loved Rubio.

Same as with Q, if you didn't follow the crowd you were trolled and attacked. Makes me wonder if "conservatives" aren't as bad a liberals some times.

This forum was intended as that, a forum. Discuss. Read before jerking the knee. Get the context for a change.
