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.

John is a patriot and he is my husband's friend
from their days at the USNA. Classmates.
He is also ACTIVELY campaigning for Bush/Cheney.
I just got an e-mail from him today.
John needs to shut-up on domestic issues.
He's carried that Keating Five guilt too
far --- to our detriment with his campaign
finance reform.
During THIS election, McCain is one of Bush's
GREATEST assets.

"Each one of them are gutless merely on the fact that they've each launched threats at me but never bothered to follow through with them, and they were all Liberals." There's a lot of semi-balanced conservatives out there too.

"Kind of like the "I served in war, so my opinion about [name any war past or present] is higher and more valid than yours, since you've never served this country in times of war". I'll pass. But I have done more outside of FR, that you will never hear about." That may be, but your comments were about FR, so, stick to the topic...please.

Agreed. Those kinds of debates are pointless, as I've already pointed out.

Your life may revolve around FR, mine certainly doesn't, but it does play a part.

"Agreed. Those kinds of debates are pointless, as I've already pointed out." No offense my good friend, but I'm sure you find them pointless because you threw down a gauntlet you now wish to pick up. Not to worry, I'm easy.

"Your life may revolve around FR, mine certainly doesn't, but it does play a part." My life is certainly full enough without FR, I choose to work here because I feel it can make a difference in which road this country heads down.
Others, are simply keyboard cowboys.
