I vote no. Intolerance to the slightest dissent is the road to disaster.
Cool! We can be just like DU...only ultra conservative!
Revenge? That’s sure to be useful. Let’s show anyone who disagrees with us, or you, how mature adults solve conflict. We get revenge on them.
Let me tell a story. Years ago on FR there was a thread about a story involving assault weapons. I honestly had never thought much about why it would be a bad idea to make certain kinds of guns illegal. I innocently asked WHY would anyone even want to own an AK-47.
Hah! What a thread. I was laughed at, humiliated, called every name in the book and troll was the nicest one!
I continued to ask questions- even though it wasn’t much fun- because I really wanted to understand. Eventually some serious FReepers came to the thread and began to answer my questions and explain the issues at stake. At the end - I had been educated by some very smart, well-informed freepers - they were willing to be patient with me.
Another thing I’ve learned- debating with people who disagree with me sharpens my skills and forces me to really think about my values and principles.
NO, There are many roads in life. We must make the case that the conservative road is the correct course.
Restricting free ideas is a Liberal tactic. We must not become them!
*rolls eyes*
I’m sure I would be a RINO in your eyes. Cut spending, shrink the Government, get out of people’s bedrooms.
How difficult is that?
It would be of interest to learn you definition of a RINO.
I suspect it is very narrow and restricted by blinders that obscure most of the Republican spectrum.
Oh yes... Let’s have a purge! Let loose the hyenas and jackals!
Since you are trying to light a fire, list a couple names who should be purged from FR. Just a couple.
I agree as long as I get to pick the RINO’s
Let’s face it; those were weak candidates. Better candidates could be found who were true conservatives but who would have won. Learn from this and do a better job of thinking it through and finding candidates next time.
They have either betrayed or voluntarily left the coalition. Reciprocity requires that we return the favor, and refuse to vote for RINOs in any election. When they tell you why that’s such a bad strategy, ask them why they’ve been using it themselves.
IMO O’Donnell was hurt earlier and more severely by the RINO effect than was Angle. Angle was beat by fraud and a Massive Union ground game. I don’t know why Angle did not contest the election. If she doesn’t it will stand just as if the thing was on the up and up.
We will be taking more of the you know whats out of power. The banksters and welfare CEO’s are gonna cry.
The problem I see has been going on for a long time. It isn’t unique to FR.
Every single republican is labeled a conservative by the media. That is the problem.
The only way to fix that is to embrace a 3rd party. Making that party one that can win against the democrats would be a daunting task. I’m not sure America has that much time, but who knows?
Otherwise we are stuck with plain old pubbies and we will always be in this battle.
I want Obama and all that he represents gone. I do know the fight starts right now, so we best decide what comes first.
