I was listening to Hannity on the radio several week ago. A FReeper called in and identified himself as such. I don't remember the subject. Sean said that he used to love FR but it seemed of late that too many FReepers practice eating their young. I've only been here since Jan 03 and I fully understand Sean's comment. Sad thing is some of the worst, My way or the Highway, FReepers have been here for years. Were I a fence sitter, I know it would be hard to lean right, when I see some of these folk.
I've seen that kind of thing here. While I registered here at FR in 2000, I didn't really being posting til this year.
I've found if you object to a specific action, say.....our handling of Fallujah and al Sadr for example, you get tagged as either a troll or a bush basher.
Nothing could be further from the truth, but some think ANY comments that are not fully supportive of the Bush Administration means you are against him.
There are quite a few things about President Bush's policies I take issue with. The Farm Bill. The Education Bill. The Prescription Drug policy. There are others.
Doesn't mean I won't be voting for the President come November, I will. It does mean I have the capacity to think Independently and make rational judgements without a "talking points memo" from the RNC.
