you missed his point.

I don’t think most of the posters on this thread heard him. I did and found the analysis accurate. In fact the point was originally posited by Bill O’ Reilly and Charles agreed. I have been a member of this website for over a decade and the level of analysis and depth of comments have decreased in recent years. Most responses are knee-jerk and void of thought. I would expect that on the left wing sites, but not here.

I sometimes think we have posters here who are just trying to cause dissent. At least more recently.

“I have been a member of this website for over a decade and the level of analysis and depth of comments have decreased in recent years. “ ===========

Relatively new over the year the discourse has turned from the like minded conversing, to having to couch your thoughts, to ducking the cascade of flames, insult and banning threats from other FReepers. I don’t couch well either.

I agree 100%. Certain topics/persons bring out many of those that you describe. Palin for one and anything to do with police misbehavior is another.

I do wish people could listen to criticism of Palin without going haywire.
