Is this joe_northup such a threat to you that you have to resort to calling me names....

No.

One of the best things I get out of this site is arming myself with information to respond to the Dems talking points.

It's a waste of ammunition. These yahoos only post and run, there is no discussion, no talking points. They add nothing to ones "repertoire of intelligent response". They watch the replies in cyber space and only mock you for attempting to reason with them. I used to be a moron too. I would respond to the bait. Not anymore. If, after 10 replies, the poster does not reply, its a "drive-by". My admonition was rude to say the least, and I apologize. But it got your attention. You now know what to look for. It was not meant to belittle, but to warn. Perhaps I should have just posted in bold:

INCOMING!

...and left it at that. But not everybody knows what that means.

I now see what you mean with the whole "drive-by" liberal assault on FR. I'm fairly new here and hadn't seen that before, lesson learned. Also another frepper made a very good comment to me that this was set up as a liberal free zone and I can appreciate and respect that.

As to my comment about using this site to arm myself with information to respond to Dems. I didn't mean that I use the knowledge I get for responses to others on this site but to use in discussions with friends and family in my life who I consider intelligent enough (alhtough perhaps led down the garden path by the media) to take on the facts and reconsider their opinions/voting preferences.

By the way apology accepted and appreciated
