As a matter of fact, this was one of my rare serious posts.
In my opinion Free Republic is intended to be a counter balance in an ocean of liberalism. There is no excuse for the behavior of John Kerry on this day-his line jumping photo-op today, revealed not only his contempt for the solomn occasion, but his disrespect for every ordinary American waiting for hours in line.
John Kerry is a bluenosed, arrogant sonovabitch, and I would wait in line all day for the opportunity to tell him that to his face.
However good the intentions, I don't think a website can do that in today's mass media landscape. Like taking a poll on the Free Republic and asking, "Who do you support, Kerry or Bush?" We are basically preaching to the choir.

Well of course. He is just another in a long line that will attempt to use this solemn event as a political vehicle. He will not gain political mileage from this. Regardless of who is doing this, it's easily recognized and very disrespectful. It's trailer trash politics.

Yes, but repeating it 5000 times to the choir, will not counter balance that sea of liberalism you spoke of.
Personally, with the passing of President Reagan, I am hoping that this may bring this country closer together, a very small chance, but the potential is there.
It's my opinion that the divisiveness and complete separations of political ideas are poisoning this country. The hate and anger of this division are titanic as are the differing political agendas. It seems the United America as I remember it, seems to have faded into a chaotic name calling punch fest where few agree on even fewer issues.
The optimism I had some years ago, like Reagan had, seems to have faded.
I don't know what it would take to bring this country together to be united again. There has always been differences of opinions but today the discord and separation seem epic and borderline dangerous in my opinion.
