Many people judge others as individuals and not as a part of a group...until that person signals that the “Group” and its advancement is more important to them than their status as an individual.
I am one of those people.
I know enough of your posting history to know that you are not the sort of Freeper I was referring to.
But many here seem to get a real kick out of condemning whole groups of people, be they gay, Black, or religiously ‘different’.
Some denizens of Free Republic often don’t really honor the great American value of Individuality when someone disagrees with them.
