Indeed. I agree. Other FReepers suspect that some of these individuals may be "agent provocateurs". I've never been one to buy into conspiracy theories...But reading some of the comments above I could almost believe that these were penned by leftists performing poorly played charactertures of "conservative" debate.
Most true conservatives that I know use emotions as a sort of moral compass. Their emotions generally direct them to the direction of "truth". However, once the direction of "truth" is discerned then logic takes "center stage" in any politcal or philosophical debate.
Many individuals in these threads seem to have completely taken leave of their reason and given full rein to their emotions in a manner that I usually associate with leftists...
You are not alone is this belief. I have thought this often. Some of the posts about carpet bombing Iraq and killing entire villages of Iraqis in reprisal for a GI killed are just so outrageous that I think they are trolls. But then you check the sign up date of some of these posters and they have been here for a year at least or more. Occasionally you catch a troll. But with so many Freepers acting as if they would have gleefully served in a mobile killing unit of the SS then I have to wonder.
