I believe facts are one of the most important weapons in the arsenal of conservatives and I try my best to use them on FR, and to read the linked article before I post.
However, I believe that frequently causes me to become pedantic and seemingly 'obsessed' with certain topics where emotions and not facts rule.
I err, so I encourage others to point out when I am wrong and to provide a source. I appreciate it when somebody shows me where I'm wrong; I learn from that. I also tend to do further research on an issue after I post, which is why I'll frequently re-post on a thread with an "I was wrong" post.
I respect and appreciate your posts, even when you're just being a wise guy. I try to bring a little levity to FR when I can.
My best FReegards.
To anyone who reads that last post, I’d sincerely appreciate advice, in public or by private FReemail, on how I can become a better citizen of Free Republic. All criticism and advice is welcome. Don’t hold back.
I heard the broadcast in question to the point that Rush used the words "prostitute" and "slut," recognized that Rush was digging a hole for himself, and sadly, tiredly, switched stations.
He should have known better. He certainly should have known that the words he chose would backfire and launch Fluke to "hero" status among the left. Using that kind of personal attack language in a public declaration is guaranteed to backfire. It's why DECENT parents would dress down any kid who pointed at a prostitute in public and yelled, "Prostitute! Slut!" Rush is exactly like the rest of us: when he breaks the rules of good breeding and Christian compassion, he pays a consequence. You can admire him for it if you want -- I'll pass.
Compassion -- sympathy for the suffering of others -- is a STRENGTH. That Fluke and all the rest of those promiscuous women live the way they do, is a sad, awful, terrible thing, and I pity them for it, I pray for them. Any Christian should. Compassion is a STRENGTH.
Weakness happens when compassion is overridden by anger and self-righteousness.
Compassion is a STRENGTH. A compassionate person no more calls a misguided promiscuous woman a "slut" or a "prostitute" than a compassionate doctor or relative would call an obese person a "fat hedonist."
Indeed so.
But what difference does it make? Really?
The country is doomed. Our legislators are just too incompetent for this country to survive. It does not matter at this point if California elects her.
Republican... Democrat...
None of them read or analyze legislation any more.
Pennsylvania passed the ‘Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act’ this month.
By unanimous vote.
And what is it you want to talk about?
Something completely and totally irrelevant.
Get a lifel
Turn out the lights. This country is done. The legislators are just too incompetent. Republican. Democrat. Doesn’t matter.
Pennsylvania just passed, by unanimous vote, the Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act (UCAPA).
Sponsored by the clueless Jake Corman (R).

Thank you for your opinion and justified concern about our legislators.
It made her a martyr to a lot of people so why shouldn’t she thank him?
"Wii was awesome. That was why it kicked the other two consoles buts for what 3 years after it first came out."
" We were using my daughters Playstation 3 for Netflix (due to the lack of good games for it), but now that she has gone to college, the Wii is filling the gap."
I'll try to model my comments after yours. /s
It is very clear that you still don’t have a clue.
Nobody here cares as about your candidate for office.
Go promote her on MSNBC.
Let's bury this and go back to promoting the conservative movement.
