Why is it that, whenever someone disagrees with a select few, they are immediately branded a troll? Do you not welcome open discussion here? I am new here, and at first I felt like I had found a group of long lost friends. But I have been afraid to post unless I completely agree with the vast majority, because I don’t want to be called names.

Didn't call you a name...troll is an adjective for people like you whose very first post is to tell us FReepers to "get over it" and suck it up. We have to let the Constitution be trampled on because "the blacks will riot"

Oh yeah, you sound like a real Conservative, not.

I'll stick with my initial assessment....see ya

It’s not a matter a disagreement.....Many here have spent hours researching the area only to be given the same “same ol” talking points again and again.....We are at three levels....beginner, intermediate and expert EX: Polarik spent four months showing how the BC published was forged, and has published his 160 page findings here on FR.
He’s an expert in this area)

The are several thread that you may wish to read if you really want an education. My suggestion is if you don’t want to be considered a troll....Ask a lot of questions, and directions for information....Don’t make statements as if they are facts and you know what you’re talking about.

Calpernia has quite a collection in all facets and is always willing to share her library, if you have a apecific area of interest.

Lucy T has a ping list that will help you keep up with new material. Ask her to add your name.

There are a good number here who are so emotionally involved on this issue that they’re unable to see the facts clearly.

They somehow think the intensity of their emotion translates into greater evidence for their position. This is a perspective that is practically a prerequisite for liberals, but conservatives are not immune by any means. In fact, I don’t think any of us are immune.

This issue is apparently an unusually hot one. People here can generally discuss most issues without such rancor. The only other issue I’ve routinely seen such anger about are those involving the War Between the States. And then most of it comes from a few die-hard south-will-rise-again types.

Don’t give up on FR. Most of us are pretty decent types, most of the time.
