There is nothing wrong with diversity of opinions.

Not at all. However, Sean's observation is that this is happening less and less on FreeRepublic. When he said that some FReepers have gotten so that they, "even eat their own" I think he has a valid point. I've seen it happen.

If Sean has not listened for two years, how would he know what is going on here?

Just because there is some who do not agree with me, doesn't keep me from having my say.

For the most part I find that when people here are proved wrong they are just as quick to apologize.

When he said that some FReepers have gotten so that they, "even eat their own"

Not "eating your own" means marching in lockstep with the leadership of a party. It means being partisan even in the face of irresponsible policies and dangerous directions.

"Eating your own" is frequently a good thing. It's human. It's intelligent and indicative of an independent and freethinking mind, which attributes led to the formation of this nation. It's the antithesis of a herd mentality, which mentality inevitably leads to tyranny.

Mr. Hannity has a herd mentality. He simply wants to be a herd leader. He increasingly is oriented toward making money. He started as a Christian and progressed steadily toward Mammon, which god he seems to be worshiping now.
