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.

The Shitty Tipper Database! ^
Tipper's Name: John Kerry Restaurant: Chart House Where it happened: Alexandria, VA Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $262.60 / $0.00 / 0% What happened: June 5, 04 Kerry, his wife, 4 unknown suits - We were happy to seat them in a semi-private area and gave them the same excellent service as we would give anyone - then got stiffed!

Got pulled. Or maybe not, but it is curious.

I agree. We've got BIG work ahead of us and we'd all better be on the same side or we'll be responsible for helping the dems.

Bob J, I can remember kicking your arse on many, many threads. Good times...good times. I didn't know it was making you cry, though. Oh well. Buck up, private, there's a war going on out there.

I'm pretty much that way anyway.
My enemies are the Liberal scum who are trying to ruin this Nation....NOT those who have common interests.

One only need read what he posts at LP to see he really does not fit in with the stated goals and objectives of the management of this site. And I think he's nuts.
