I first came to Free Republic to find reasoned debate and discussion. It is becoming infected by the same virus that infected DU.
While it is possible to find legitimate difference of opinion with GW, it is over the top to engage in this level of bashing.
I agree. Basically the logical outcome of much of the discourse is a call for insurgency. The same pathetic result of the discourse at DU.
You may want to consider Iraq for an example of those who don’t use a political process to wield power.
There is little political participation in this country. Politics is despised. Crying about the Constitution is not battling politically. It is a denial of the constant battle for power and influence.
The Constitution was not a done deal and no constitution ever will be.
How will we get better leaders? How will capable conservatives be cajoled into office? If not for Republican Presidents, the Supreme Court would be liberal and there would be no conservative influence nationally. State legislatures are democrat. Congress is democrat.
Now I fear the election of a democrat President who goes hawk on the WOT. The right and left may together convince themselves in their conspiratorial fury to incite rebellion.
In the meantime, the crazy Muslim fanatics get their way because we are too foolish to realize how good things actually are.
