Adults understand getting SOME of what they want is better then getting NOTHING. Complaining endlessly does not excuse an Adult of the burden of actually DOING things. Complaining is NOT a substitute for taking action as a certain segment of Frepeer seem to think. They are NOT "helping the Conservative Movement" standing around complaining constantly about everything.
Frankly most Freepers have stopped even listening. We hear the SAME thing over and over and over from the Perpetually Whining. Since no matter WHAT happens all they do is complain why waste anytime on them? Since this group of constant complainers never stand FOR something, there is no reason for anyone to want to stand WITH them . It just the same old "do it my way or I will take my ball and go home" ranting we hear from this group on every issue. Politically irrelevance is what they seek, We should just tell them don't let the door hit your butts on the way out the door.
See this is what their temper-tantrum is about. They NEED us to validate them. What they want if for Freepers to beg and grovel for them to stay.
Why should we bother? They never stand with us on ANYTHING so which fringe group they run off to is a matter of supreme indifference. They will only repeat the same behavior in that group.
The people who spend 100% of their times complaining emotional stick to nothings without the Adult facilities of maturity and judgment. These are people who are never going to be anything but political irrelevances. They think that complaining endlessly excuses them for DOING things and working for they supposedly believe in.
Actually getting stuff done requires commitment and effort. Standing around sneering at anyone doing things is the behavior of the High School lunch room not the real world. Sneering and complaining is easy. Any Teenager does it endlessly every day.
Some of us don't want a to give 100% of our vote to a false choice between two parties that only offer us 25% and 20% respectively, of what we want, and force 80% of what we loathe on us.
