Big problem I see on this forum is absolute intolerance for differing points of view. You say one thing here and you get savagely attacked. Some of these people are often tyrannical in their opinions and their reactions. (my emphasis)
I couldn't agree more. What irks me most are the ones that when expressing their points of view, intimate that it is the "official" position of this forum. They take it upon themselves to define guidelines to suit their agenda.
To those self appointed definers of conservatism I wish the moose would eat all your cheese and bite your sister in the keester while she's in the shower ;-)

Actually, it's also the sanctimonious of among us who try to belittle others.
Take for example the "who got nothing for Christmas" thread? All sorts of folks were writing all day about what they got for Christmas, and lo and behold, those of us who didn't (for whatever reason) were dismissed as selfish and ungrateful because we didn't get a gift and appreciate others things in our lives. Really.
That &*(&^ gets old after a while - especially when people thread jump just to opine about the posters and not the subject. Another one is when these same folks jump on every famous person is dead/arrested thread.

We've been through this so many times in the past that you'd think we'd know by now that we must not give in to the pot stirrers.
The name calling on both sides got a little out of hand, but face it, this was an extremely emotional subject.
Like you said, we are a family and in all families there are squabbles and because we are so close those squabbles can get pretty nasty. Now we have work to do and we need each other if we are to get anything accomplished.

Thanks for the ping tonk, and Bob J you are right. If we could see as much energy as some people use to mock people here go into a march, or a support our troops rally I would be pleased. For anyone interested in getting involved in more than name calling and pouting:
GO HERE TO REALLY PISS OFF A LIBERAL
Well, that is what I am trying to do here anyway. I didn't realize that I would get so much hatred for that from Freepers, but so be it.
Now- if we can just get back to the work at hand.
To: Bob J
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! I much agree--especially about the enemy's skills at dividing and conquering.
I just posted this on the following thread requesting prayer for Bush:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/1375834/posts?page=35 Were President Bush to be removed, the encroaching demonic forces so eager to shred our land to smithereens would flood in with greater force and immediacy than folks can imagine. Even were Bush more inauthentic than I think he is, the fact that he claims to be submitted to God in prayer and the fact that he acts greatly more Christian than . . . other critters and the fact that he engenders sooooo much focused prayer for him and for our country stands for a great lot.
In any case, I do not believe that most even sensitive believers realize the press toward chaos which would result from such an attack on Bush. It would not be a relatively smooth Kennedy Johnson type thing. Many more assaults would come in quick follow-on, if not simultaneously. This is not just liberal pique against President Bush out of normal human jealousywhich is bad enough.
LITERAL DEMONIC HOARDS SEEK TO SHRED OUR LAND TO SMITHEREENS. Their sole job is satans passion for theft, death and destruction. Prayer and right living; Spirit-led submission to God Almighty and loving actions and hearts toward one another is all that stands in the way. Terri in Florida was not a good sign. It was good that Congress made the effort. But the poll figures even with stacked questions were not wonderful.
Im reminded of the audiences reaction to CLOCKWORK ORANGE 34 years ago in Hollywood. The audiences reactions proved the nihilism in the film. Fast forward. Terri in Florida. The culture of death and meaninglessness, destruction, has advanced wholesale.
PRAYER FOR PRESIDENT BUSH IS NOT JUST PRAYER FOR THE PRESIDENT. IT IS PRAYER FOR YOUR OWN SURVIVAL in any semblance of a normal mode for a while longer.
i THINK AND FEEL that this call to prayer has a greater sense of urgency and import behind it than even my usual. What is your sense Alamo-Girl?
It is not even too far fetched to me . . . to wonder . . . there have been a LOT of noisey things on FR recently with Terri and now with cherished OLD TIMERS leaving in dismay.
Can it be that FR has been under extra demonic attack, too?
Or is Quix just being too Quixy?

"My humble opinion and suggestion to all is in these times of contention and confusion, that we remind ourselves who the real enemy is and where the battles ought to be fought."
Well said.
The real enemy is government.

"It has worked well for them in the past and they count on it working again for them now and in the future. "
You're right. In the early '70s we got involved in politics in Florida, and those on the conservative side spent more time tearing each other down than they did fighting the real enemy.

The left is counting on us tearing ourselves apart from within for that is the very philosophy upon which their strategy is based
foment division and hatred then attack at the breach.Like pickpockets at the circus, they count on your distraction.

>> After all, why should the crusty buggers be treated any differently than someone who signed up last week? Are they more intelligent, are their arguments more cohesive
persuasive?
Hell yes.
Well, I shouldn't speak for other crusty buggers.
P.S. Please look up the word "buggers" in a good British dictionary.
