NOTE TO ALL READING THIS FROM THE MSNBC LINK

Welcome! Please click on a posters name to see when they registered. Do not judge this site simply based on postings from brand new members who may or may not be creating a false impression of what Free Republic is all about.

Just like a sports talk board, you will see many different opinions. But imagine if one teams fans registered new accounts on another teams forum- take newbies with a grain of salt.

You are right - the most recent posts are not indicative of this site. Since 5/13 the diversity and the quality of discourse has vastly improved. There is lesss rabid, spittle-flying invective directed at REALITY by fantasy driven frustrated Dr. Strangeloves. It is good for the right to HEAR the left at this site JUST AS it is good for the left to hear the right at sites like The Nation or Mother Jones. We all need to chill and educate ourselves to realize that we as CITIZENS are not our own enemies.

Rather it is those with the POWER to take away our rights and our choices that are the enemy. We are ALL aggrieved parties and not by each other but by multinational corporations to whom we are but profit and by the select elite of this country to whom we are but cattle to be directed by focus groups and rigged polls to vote to their whims.

People, we ARE this country BUT we are NOT what is wrong with it! If we start to learn from each other and work with each other we may be able to take this country back FOR THE PEOPLE!
