As for your baseball analogy, you are welcome to your opinion.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Well of course I am. This is Free Republic, after all, not DU. :-)
If you are truly bothered by being called a name (although I agree that "Bushbot" is childish), that may explain why you are under the impression that you aren't allowed to speak on here. Hypersensitivity is never a good thing. I'd think someone who's been here as long as you would be used to that.
My opinion -- which you so graciously entitled me too -- is that you're POd that you were on the wrong end of the deal on this one, and are, in fact, pouting about it at the moment, and the RINO and Bushbot name-calling are a ready-made excuse for that behavior. But at least you can look around and see that you're not alone. There are many on this thread who would make you think recess was cancelled at kindergarten this morning, the way they're acting.
Let's see. I was called "unpatriotic", "evil", "not a conservative", was told I was destroying the troops' morale, and some other things I have forgotten, because I didn't mindlessly support a terrible nomination.
But that's ok, apparently, because I *gasp* disagreed with The President.
