Eating our own...Time to make a new start in Free Republic.

The last few months I've seen an increasing trend for FReepers to start going for each others jugular. Sometimes we forget (I've certainly done it myself) that in the grand scheme of things, we are on the same team. We may disagree on priorities or how far we are willing to go, but we have enough enemy in the left without creating more amongst ourselves. We can disagree but be civil to each other. We can debate nuance, but not believe that our personal positions are more important than the health of the whole. Let's argue vigorously but remind ourselves the guy whose trachia we are ripping out today may be sitting next to us in a foxhole tommorrow.
I'm going to propose that we all make a new start. Let's put all past differences behind us and resolve to band together and fight the good fight, the elimination of liberalism as a significant culturual influence in America...and see that to its end in our lifetimes.
If you agree, please post your thoughts and ping your lists and your friends to this thread.

Never thought I'd see the day when a libertarian wasn't in favor of a good blunt...
Joke.

I know the wrestling on the mat is fun, but sometimes it has bad effects. Let's keep our eye on the ball.

Well, I'm not made of stone yet, but I'm not a "neo-con" either.
Actually, I was hanging at the Mike Reagan forum for about 8 months before I came to FR, but the Reagan forum quickly got shut down because of disruptors. A couple other folks migrated here, Humidston, Kim4VWRC, a couple more.

Joke noted, and man, do I wish I could indulge in a blunt... but I settle for beer nowadays, and an occasional shot of Jagermeister. Or four.

Gee, there's nothing like watching the rat convention to get everyone in a warm and fuzzy mood, eh?
Nice post Bob.

1. Most of my most heated arguements are with those I call my best friends.
2. I'm not a hugger.

Sounds good to me. It seems that many of us forget that courtesy is valuable even in a faceless internet environment.
