To expect 100% agreement is loony.
People who would turn this forum into an echo chamber that forbids all discussion except their own talking points are neither conservatives nor Americans.
The folks you named are far better representatives of conservatism and Americanism than most of the people here.
WTC911 and melas were wrong as per one liberal Jew and one conservative Jew.
Period.
Both used democratic/MSM talking points against Palin. I believe both admitted to disliking Palin. That is their choice. It is a free country. But, forgive me for repeating myself, their usage of democratic/msm talking points against a fellow conservative is disgusting and offensive. Whether they are “better” representatives of conservatives than others is your opinion and you have a right to your opinion. You did make a good point about echo chambers. Free Republic does NOT need fellow FRiends to echo the democratic/msm talking points to attack conservative leadership. It's poor strategy. Maybe WTC911 and Melas should follow Reagan's example, “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”
