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.
Certainly needed to be said.
I’ve never gotten personal with people on this forum and I’ve never allowed myself to be subjected to verbal abuse.
Thank you
Yes, in the heat of the moment, a few of us (me included) lose focus.
We must unite for the sake of the country we all love, America the beautiful. There is not much time left. I honestly believe that 2024 will be the final chapter of the USA we all knew and fought for.
It’s ALL about FREEDOM and LIBERTY! This is it.
Something else to consider. If you come across an article that uses derogatory terms or phrases in the title (like the website The Liberty Daily does) I would suggest not posting them. I've called out that website many times but they either fail to notice my emails or don't care. While they may publish some good articles, their method of delivery them is very questionable.
Thanks Jim!
I think we all need a boot to the keester every now and then. Thanks for sharing.
What is “DU”?
Bttt.

After the vax propaganda that was pushed here for a couple years, I’m not so sure we are all conservatives. Suspect there were and are plenty of planted instigators
I have been called a name or two. Doesn’t bother me.
The issue of prohibiting vulgarities is not about free speech. It’s about common courtesy and respecting others and accepting standards of decency and conduct. I think the American founders would agree.
Jim’s absolutely correct to demand standards of decency at FR.
Obscenity demeans our First Amendment. I’m no angel, but incessant use of profanity does not enhance one’s statements.
Thank you sir
Thank you.
How about ending the distracting colorful emojis or whatever on tag lines, and titles, or entirely?
Please keep pushing on ending the cussing.
Well said, Mr. Robinson. It’s hard not to get wrapped around the axle some days, but it happens.
Also, if anyone needs a ‘respite’ from Politics, come over to the Weekly Garden Thread. We’re a friendly lot. Fun, gardening tips, pictures of our gardens, growing information from seed starting to harvesting and we talk about FOOD...a lot! :)
That was needed. Thanks, Jim!
Folks been acting like its too hard to be nice.
Passive/aggressive behavior you can feel thru the internet wires.
I stopped caring about who gets all the credit or if I’m the one who is “right” and have been astounded at the sheer amount of stuff that I have gotten done!
God bless you Jim.
God bless Free Republic!
Thank you, Jim!
