...some of us at FR are actually worried about how Free Republic looks to the outside world.

If nobody knocks down these ridiculous posts, people think we AGREE with them.

Exactly so!!!!!

Ah...an incredibly telling statement as well as incredibly shallow.

In the traditional adult world...its understood that doing the right thing is often the "unpopular" thing. Thats why doing the right thing is hard and the wrong thing is easy. If I based my moral decisions on "what other people think" I'd probably be dead, in jail or would have hurt a great many people.

I suppose I've finally figured all you Bots out, and I'm SOOOOO glad you are being quite boisterous on this topic...because your true colors shine through.

For you all...winning elections, defending GW Bush, and defending the Republican Party are more important than being right/doing the right thing...even when it is at odds toward traditional family values. Wow...this is the future of the Republican Party.

Thank you ALL for being so demonstrative to this end.

Unfortunately, you are quite right. Doing the wrong thing is so much easier than doing the right thing. I've heard that excuse that some have made about "people outside Free Republic thinking this is what Free Republic is all about" a lot lately. It's used to justify some pretty unlikely viewpoints, given the stated perspective of the owner. There seems to be an almost anarchical attitude among some here, which seems more to belong to the other side.
