O come on Russ, where have you been? If your Catholic don't come here, Jewish don't bother, Mormon’s? not at free Republic. Hell even William F. Buckley had a bulls eye on his back just days after he died. Ask Jim Rob about that, he put it there. See I’m on my third name here since 1998. Mostly due to deployments overseas and new email address’s. This used to be a site for conservative’s of all stripes. Now its toe the line or Zap, Zap, Zap. Don't agree with a few of the nut jobs and zap, zap zap. Even Military service is paid lip service here, say anything they don't like and ZAP, ZAP, ZAP. I laugh my but off when Keyboard cowboys throw around words like NEWB or noob, they dont have any clue. Most folks here would never say half the garbage to your face that they would say from behind a keyboard late at night. ZAP, ZAP,ZAP.

You forgot "Indian"

It sure isn't the FR it was.

Used to be one could have some civil conversations about things that mattered -

Now, you nailed it on the head, all one has to do is type "Catholic, Jewish, Mormon" or Indian and the Hound of the Baskervilles and all his minions descend.

A thread on the military will be lucky to get 7 hits but if a thread title contains "O.J" or "Paris" or "Brittany" - it'll run on for hundreds of posts.

Not the FR it used to be -

Then there's this - the voting on the side bar:

If it's McCain vs Hillary in the general, how do you vote?

McCain 69.5%

Write-in 9.2%

Third Party 8.9%

Stay home 3.9%

Hillary 3.6%

Leave blank 3.3%

Pass 1.5%

So maybe there's some of the old FR's still lurking?

It seems to me, tho', that FR has deteriorated alarmingly in the past year or so...damn shame
