Take it somewhere that people talk civilly about promoting liberals, socialists, socialism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, gun control, illegal aliens, etc. Hint you won’t find it here. Take your conservative trashing to a place where people will appreciate it. Try DU.
Well, I do try to be civil most, if all of the time at posting forums. Unless I’m going after Jewhating kooks that is, and in that case I can lose my cool. So if civility is a crime I’m guilty. You can impugn my conservative credentials and accuse me of bashing conservatives but but that does not make it so. I am among a group of conservative people, among them Ted Olson, who respect Rudy.
I came to FR several years ago and enjoyed the dialog and discussion. It was civil and enlightening. It was refuge. Even when fellow FReepers didn’t agree, there was room for all opinions.
Unfortunately, those days seems to be gone. All I see now is a “Stop Rudy” campaign here no matter the cost. Heh, I’m as conservative as they come. And, I will not vote for Rudy in the primary. Yet, I’m also a pragmatist. And, I was directly affected by the events of 9/11 as many of my colleagues were murdered on that day. The war against Islamofascism is the ONLY priority in my decision making process at the moment regarding the upcoming elections. If it meant prosecuting the global war - in reality, the Third World War - to victory, I will vote for whoever the Republican nominee for President may be.
So, let’s not stoop to the level of the far-left and trash each other with such vitriol. Please.
