I agree with you in spirit. But "philosophers" is far too respectful a word. A true philosopher is a "lover of wisdom." These people are lovers of anger and ego. They are also cowards and fools. They are a disgrace to Free Republic, and to the American republic.
With "conservatives" like this, we'll all be enslaved within a decade by Hillary and the Rats.
There you go, "Bringing in the Sheaves" talk about a disgrace. Since you are a California Patriot, just tell me how many, new Republicans were elected in the last election, in California? Answer:None
Did your vote for Bush have any effect on the election of GW Bush? Answer:No.
And yes, I voted a straight Republican ticket, but I won't again, because it really won't matter.
