As a Christian and a Republican activist I too feel the Fratricide that is going on here and in our country. People who one one hand assert that they are Ambassadors for Christ, have used the vilest terms and borne false witness against other conservatives and Christians. Demagoguing the local Bishop even became fashionable. Or grabbing a gun and wasting Michael. All in God's name! And other FReepers let 'em get away with it.
I'm not read to write my opus, but I'm no longer going to attend the March For Justice II. FR is now a different place for me....
You said what I've thought all along about fellow Freepers.
The threats to Michael Schivao's life.
YET profess to saving life.
Methinks they speak w/forked tongues.
As it is for many.
The Schiavo case is an emotional issue, so our emotions are running high right now. A few months from now, FR will go back to normal.
I was on the losing side during the Elian saga here in Florida, and emotions were running high at the grocery stores, at the gym, at work, at social gatherings. Republicans were against Republicans, friends against friends.
Then the election 2000 story broke, and all Republicans banded together again. And all my friends forgave me for my emotional outbursts a long time ago.
