I hope he does get through this. However, I'd just feel a little better about the situation if I felt more Freepers were being consistent in what they generally wish upon addicts. Just because someone has done wonders for the conservative cause doesn't mean we can't acknowledge his shortcomings. Otherwise, we look like a bunch of Clinton Kool-Aid drinkers, willing to compromise our beliefs if they negatively apply to one of our heroes.

There are always freepers who like to call names and act superior, but the vast majority are caring, thinking people. An exception was right after 9/11 when there was lots of invective and name-calling, but emotions were running really high then.

I have seen over and over on these forums understanding freepers who realize what pain (emotional and physical) is.

The great true difference between conservatives and liberals is that liberals believe your problems are the fault of others and nature, and that the government and others should be forced to suffer for and pay for your problem, while conservatives believe that ultimately your difficulties are your own to solve and overcome without REQUIRING (the magic word) others to help you against their will.
