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.

Agreed. In the future i'm not going to reach for the .44 magnum first...maybe a .380 auto.

No, I just came out of an FRN meeting where I realized I was fighting battles that are a waste of effort that would be better utilized at the real enemy.
For what it's worth, I know of people who have visited and signed up on FreeRepublic only to quickly send in their cancellations because of all the loons, anarchists, malcontents, extremists, moral-liberals, and bigots given free reign here. Conservatism is not well served by these types.

You posted a thread from a site called "The Shitty Tipper Database!" in breaking news and wonder why it was pulled.
Get a clue.
To: Cultural Jihad
Yeah, but our loons, anarchists, malcontents, extremists, moral-liberals, and bigots are better than the ones at LP!

...It's Clinton isn't it?
Just making you feel all loving and stuff...
Can't we all just get along?
:-)...
LOL - I was just thinking the same thing .... he just watched the Clinton speech.
But, I agree - we have got to work together.
So, I will try and not be "snippy about it" when some anti-Bush conservative claims that he just must show the GOP that they have lost him. I will promise to make my "remember, we have to defend this country from utter ruin by another administration of democrats that will put us under control of the U.N., change our constitution to permit a re-run of Bill, and appease the terrorists" speech very kindly worded.

I want FR to be the moveon.org of the right. I mean in terms of visibility and recognition, not for the negative reasons.
We can't do that divided. If we're divided, the One World socialist government will prevail. Let's not wake up to that nightmare.
