I'll go first. I've been on this Forum for a while and have had the time to make a lot of enemies. I'm putting everything that's happened in the past into the grave and making a new start with everyone (you know who you are). I pledge to argue my case, but will always remember that even though we have differences, you ultimately are my friend in the trenches.

BTTB (bump to the bottom), and let the personal attacks continue! (I'm kidding, of course.) Personally, I wish there was more adherance to, and enforcement of, the 'no personal attacks' rule. Howdy, SD Freepers.

To defeat the enemy outside, we must first stand united against the enemy within, it's a fight for everything we hold sacred, to fight among ourselves will spell defeat in levels we have not considered.

Beauseant!

The last few months I've seen an increasing trend for FReepers to start going for each others jugular.

There's enough of that to go around, but what annoys me more than anything else are the catty, backbiting remarks I see that seem to have no other purpose than to intimidate...particularly newbies.

Newbies will be the life or death of this forum. It appears to me there are some self appointed cranks whose primary misson on this forum is to bully. I expect you know who they are, but due to internal political entanglements, there's not much you can or will do about it.

If you have to apologize and "make nice" with everyone, you're not a principled Conservative. If you know in your heart of hearts that what you say is true even if you have to step on a few toes, why apologize? It only puts the other person your debating with in charge of the facts (or lack of same) and the dialogue of debate. Take a stand on any issue and stay with it. There is no need to pull a John Kerry and flip-flop and go any way the way the wind blows.

I'll tell you what. I'd love to bury the hatchet too.
If Jim would send an email to my friend Classy inviting her back (Not that I'm at all sure she would come back here) I'd drop my attitude and at LEAST quit the sniping.

If you were indeed serious about his post, I'd like this message conveyed and considered...

After all, as she says, all the OTHERS are still here.

Goodnight

It's a good idea. We should just try and remember why we're here in the first place. To save our country. For the record, I've never had a problem with you Bob.

I've certainly offended someone, I'm sure. Not intentionally you see, but hey we FReepers are an opinionated lot.

So butch up, Sally and get over it! Life is full of rough and tumble S.O.B.s that don't give a fig if you agree with them or not. You either stand up for what you believe and get on with what you have to do or you crawl up in the corner and suck on your thumb.

If some are so thin-skinned that they can't see "the big picture" and realize that their real enemies won't even bother insulting them as they destroy their life, wealth, family, property, country, etc., then they have bigger problems than we can help them with.

That said, we should strive to be civil among ourselves (on and off of FR) and even to our real and perceived enemies. Let the contrast of their words and actions show others why we really are better than they are.

Hey, why did I get pinged? I never went off on anybody. Well, not in a long time. And not anybody who didn't deserve it. At least not recently. OK, maybe a couple yesterday.

Bob, I cannot and shall not endulge the
Bush haters who pretend they're GOP, and
"I know who some of them are."


Do you really expect change with comments like the above? They are the problem. The rest of us have no problem debating and disgussing ideas.

I'm with ya. Or we'll be spelling Prez Kerry. (Gads, I can't stand to even type it!)

Unfortunately, conservatives can be their own worst enemies. But like another poster on this thread said, I can't sit back and listen to people act like they are conservatives, then watch them bash every single thing about President Bush, thus eliminate him (which is exactly what they are achieving with their rhetoric). We'll end up with Kerry and his ilk if they don't stand up for good decent people like this president and his administration. It was the previous 8 long years that got us where we were on 9-11 and the economy that suffered so terribly from those years too (not to mention the ramifications of the wars and the declining economy when President Bush took office).

So yes, I agree with the premise of your post, but I still gotta stand up for our Commander in Chief and his fight against terrorism, etc. (Which I know you do too).

It would be nice if we could all "unite". But I'll believe it when I see it!

But in honor of your request.. I'm sorry to anyone I ticked off (But only if they didn't deserve it). :o)

FRegards Friend
