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.

OK, you win. I'll forget the fact that you're a no-good, lying, cheating drunken sot of a lib... er, forget that. I was just reading the Teddy K. thread. Sorry.

Thanks Dixie...I really do believe this is something we can fix, and maybe this will turn out to be a good first step.

If you don't like that quote, then how about this one...
I have no problem with libertarians. In fact, I see eye to eye with them on most issues.

You're right Bob. We have to keep the focus on the ideology and not the personality.

And the destruction of all individual and institutional family values that hold our society together...Libertarianism had a chance and proved not to be worthy.
