This is not DU!
Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL!
Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc.
We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.
Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be sure we come out of this with a Republican president, house and senate. The only way we can accomplish that is to unify the Republican Party. We can't destroy our own candidates. Whoever it is will need to pull us ALL together. Keep the ultimate goal in sight - Freedom! We are not here to fight each other. We are here as allies to fight for God, family, country, and FREEDOM! As William Wallace said in Brave Heart, "Unite the clans!".
Your personal favorite may be Ron DeSantis, mine happens to be President Trump. But if DeSantis receives the nomination, I'll support him, as I hope most other FReepers will.
Incidentally, we are getting way too much profanity. This is NOT DU, this is NOT CNN - (in deep voice) this IS FR!
Finally, if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.
Thank you all very much, and God bless you.
Thank you.
2:30am JR eruptions are still a thing here? Wow. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Thank you.
Thank you Jim.
Thank you, Jim!
Glad to see somebody is feeling better!
Thanks, Jim!
"...Please knock-off the abusive posts..."
As always, FreeRepublic remains my primary website of news, opinion, and important insights into what's happening to my beloved Nation.
God Bless you Sir, and carry on!
> 2:30am JR eruptions are still a thing here?
Why not? It's only 11:30 out in Fresno.
Apologies, Jim, forgot to add you to my comment above. Yikes!
Thank you, Mr. Robinson.
Nobody’s opinion is threatened by another opinion. Just try to make sure you can support your opinion.
I need to look up what flame-baiting is.
“Flamebait is a message or post intended to arouse controversy. It is a type of content in an online forum, such as a social media platform or a comment thread, with the intent of provoking anger, resulting in flames and sometimes flamewars....”
Okay - I don’t do that.
Although most ALL of my posts are unwanted....
Good for Jim. He’s Trump-like in a good way.
Amen! Thank you, sir.
Your spelling it all out is appreciated.
I had just assumed that the policy had changed and become more lenient, so I decided to just ignore some of the infighting and dirt slinging going on. Ignore the Dog-piling over something meant as a joke or as a rebellious contrarian.
The dirt slinging is usually not directed at me, but to others who had committed the ‘Capitol Crime’ of having a different point of view.
This is a reminder which needs repeating every so often, when folks decide to test it.
Have a good weekend.
Thank you.
Conservative values and customs are what keep our nation great. Same with this website.
Thank you.
Let's try to be more civil with our discussions.
Yay!! Thank you so much for this, Jim!!
