Freepers are passionate and we are playing for all the marbles right now, so tempers flare. We are so close to rolling over into a path that will guarantee totalitarian tyranny, a lot of us are on a hair trigger right now. All of us probably need to take a deep breath.
Discussions of the TSA sure get us going! I’ll say that.
You know what? I am VERY grateful to Jim for FreeRepublic and to the internet. This outlet is informative and useful and the networking we do here helps us enormously in our political fights. The left has always had their astroturf and paying welfare queens to vote and to stuff envelops and make robocalls.
Conservatives have been hamstrung by having to work 50-60 hours a week when you add lunch and commute times. That is 50-60 hours the welfare queens and bums of the left could marshall their forces. We just don’t have the time and we have to be more efficient and more focused. FR and the internet are godsends for us to be able to fight back.
I think they make a huge difference in our fight. Sure, the radical left has these resources too, but since they always had the unemployed and the government supported to advance their causes, this is a far more critical net help to us than to them.
Look what it has done to the MSM? They are becoming weak and irrelevant and moreover, bankrupt.
well said. thanks for that.
