A Demoralized FreeRepublic. What is the Solution? (Vanity)
Nov/10/05 | jveritas

Posted on 11/10/2005 10:24:15 AM PST by jveritas

The tone on FR is very demoralized. Liberals and their media unfortunately have succeeded in demoralizing a large number of freepers. From their constant savage attacks on the President and the Republican Party with lies and distortions, to their biased polls, to blaming the President for everything under the sun, many freepers are feeling very demoralized. They are further demoralized because President Bush is not fighting back, because the RINOS in Congress are screwing thing up for the President agenda. Add to that a huge numbers of trolls who infiltrated FR in 2004 and 2005 to divide and demoralize by creating doom and gloom, and piling on the President and the GOP.

So what are the solutions for the demoralization problem?

(1) Stop the knee jerk reaction every time the liberal media write an article telling us that President Bush and the GOP are finished. Stop taking every biased poll as the end of all. No doubt that the President approval is down but no doubt that the polls are so biased to take 6 or 7 points more from his approval numbers. Never before we have had so many polls coming in an off election year and the reason for this is very simple. The media is doing all these biased polls to demoralize the Republican base and it is succeeding to “some” degree as we see from the knee jerk reaction of many freepers. The media is taking any event that is happening and distort it with the most negative spin to demoralize us. Rather than falling for the media lies, distortions and very negative spin we must take anything they write or say turn it around on them and destroy all their lies and spin.

(2) Ask the White House to fight back the lies and distortions of liberal and their media whores. How do we do this? Demand replacing Scott Maclelan? Besides new junkies like us how many people listen to Scott Maclelan? Ask the President to hold a press conference every week to expose the lies liberals and their media? Do you want the President to spend his time fighting every lie and distortion made by liberals and their media? How can we guarantee that the media will cover what the President is saying or what any of his spoke people are saying? Can they just ignore what is he saying?

(3) Put pressure on the RINOS to stop screwing the President agenda. How do we do this? Ask the White to twist their arms? What if the RINOS say to the White House “Screw you”? Ask the GOP leadership in Congress to twist their arms? What if the RINOS also tell them “Screw you”?

(4) Purge the trolls who infiltrated FR in large numbers in 2004 and 2005. These trolls are not necessarily someone who spread Dummy crap on FR. They put on a phony conservative mask and bash the President and the GOP on every occasion. Their main goal is to divide and demoralize. Their job is to spread doom and gloom. Purging these guys can stop a lot of the infighting and the demoralization that is going on. We need to report these trolls to the mods and do not let them get away with this.

I am glad you wrote this vanity piece because it proves that the face of the GOP is not the face of America anymore.

I occurred to me several months ago that the new FR factor is less about doing what is right and good for America but instead supporting GWB no matter how wrong he may be with respect to his oath of office and what is in the national interests of the USA. If I was a DUmmie I would log on to FR as a GWB supporter and support his outlandish spending, I would stand up for his amnesty program and reluctance to force the rule of law with respect to immigration, I would support his signing of the CFR, I would have supported his nomination of his friend, Harriet Meiers for the SC knowing that her only qualification is that GWB owes her something.

It is not the dissenters that have caused upheaval in the GOP ranks with respect to the voters of middle America, it is rather, the actions taken by a misguided President, who was elected to be "conservative", and to treat the voters of the Republic as he should, not how he thinks the world will see him. We didn't elect Kerry because Kerry wished to go to the U. N. when the USA was in danger before issuing orders to enter in to a conflict, we shouldn't have to countenance a President who looks to us and thinks that spending $15 billion in Africa on AIDS will win him any points.

If I was part of a concerted effort to undermine the GOP, I would support the President through thick and thin while whistling past the graveyard.

"..the democrat party disenfranchized blacks.."

Alan Keyes did fairly well in rural Iowa in the caususes. I stood up and spoke for him at our county caucus, and he came in third! After GWB and Forbes.

Of course, he was not at any disadvantage there because we were all white redneck Republicans.

Right on all points... especially taking MSM pronouncements seriously, taking their online polls, etc.

I am NOT demoralized. I love Bush, will support Alito and want to see Bush accomplish more of his agenda NOW. I am sick of the dems controlling the media and the conversation - so I ignore it. This site is posting too many negative news, not focusing on the good things. Negative Nellies just have more to say than us Positive Pollys.

I certainly wish the President would grow a set. Our congress-critters, too!

Scott McClellan can talk? Get outta here! I thought he was a Mute.

The Schiavo disaster brought FR to its knees with its mob of fanatics ready to hang her husband and turn on anyone not ready to pretend that was "life". It has been downhill ever since much the the Party of Treason, Treason media's delight.

That is why I posted this thread because I am sick and tired of negative posting and negative comments, it is much more than the usual debate and disagreement that we should have. In many cases it is meant to demoralize and divide us.

You might be for pretending to be a conservative and claiming Bush is not.

Do you really think that this started with the Schiavo case earlier this year?

None of those issues come close to the primary one, supporting a President fighting the killers while being stabbed in the back by the Party of Treason. Handing them the knife is not the answer either.

..what are the solutions...?

Raise the bar by using Private Reply for private tangential conversations, e.g.,
"Got my post in before you did!"
"Darn, you beat me."
