I do feel I have a small measure of responsibility for the change (but no guilt).
Of course!!
When FR started to fail to live up to its own rules about not bashing religions (when it came to my religion) we Mormon posters decided that instead of being party to the creation of long threads filled with contention that made it hard for the moderators see the difference in our behavior and theirs, we decided instead to simply post articles putting forward our position and leave the critics to show their true colors.
Awwww... nice way to say, "We got smacked down because we were abiding the CAUCUS label; BASHING Christianity left and right with no recourse for rebuttal. It finally got too much for even JimRob to stomach."
And thus began the decent of FR from a vibrant ad-hoc conservative think tank into an echo chamber of yes men with a loud group of religious bigots leading the way.
I just HATE when that happens!
That is putting your partisanship above your patriotism.
Sorry, Oh Deluded One. It is That is putting your GOD above your COUNTRY.
You will hear conservative pundits call him this generations Ronald Reagan, or Ronald Reagans 3rd term or something along those lines
You will hear MORMON LOUDMOUTHS call him this generations Ronald Reagan, or Ronald Reagans 3rd term or something along those lines
If there is an assassination attempt on him, it will either be by the Chineese, or by some religiously motivated nutjob (Islamic or Evangelical)
Sorry; but MORMONs are usually offed by OTHER Mormons. But we ARE glad to see how you feel about CHRISTIANS.
Until FR does that, all they do is shoot themselves in the foot.
And you are merely shooting off your mouth: got it.
Grig dreams:
You will hear conservative pundits call him this generations Ronald Reagan, or Ronald Reagans 3rd term or something along those lines ... This, FRiends, is why I perceive that at this stage of the game, the NUMBER ONE PRIORITY for American conservatives is see Romney denied a landslide. Grig himself has illustrated what would happen: What was in reality a desperate referendum against Obama, would be twisted by Romney, the GOP-e, and moderates into an enthusiastic mandate and endorsement of Romney's "progressivism."
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP.
