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.

Of course she was attractive with no bra, it's a given, right?I think it's a given that Mo1 will withhold the evidence from me, fearing I may never be seen on here again. HAHA! :)

I'm feeling a tad left out.
Would it be possible for someone to have a quick argument with me so that I can forgive you and we can start over?

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. Hell man, whos left?

I haven't had a Tim-Tam in two years, and I have been craving them ever since! ;P LOL :)
I met a lovely lady from Australia 2.5 years ago on Internet Relay Chat and we got to talking about eating snack food while online and she said she devoured Tim-Tams. I didn't know what they were, and she said she would send me some, I resisted at first because I didn't want her to spend a bunch of money on me, but she insisted, so I gladly took her offer. They were truly remarkable!
Sadly though, she died of cancer about 6 months after that, and I never got a chance to repay her for the kind act of generosity.
She never did tell me she had cancer. I think she didn't want me to worry.
We were very close friends, although she was 20 years older than I, but I always seemed to make her smile and have a good time, and I think back to those times we spent chatting. I truly believe that I made her forget she even had cancer, and each time I chatted with her, I think I always made her day.
