Actually yes it was over-the-top rhetoric. But it was good rhetoric. However, one thing Reagan DIDN'T do was invade the Soviet Union. Did he? I served under Reagan, and don't recall that happening.
The Chads and Iwo and Justmythoughts--marvelous thing--are becoming a minority on freerepublic.
Ahhh now we get to the real heart of it. Only people who believe exactly what you believe should be here, right? Now we get to the crux of it. Go ahead and try to drive us all away - YOU, dear "lady" (and I use that term loosely) are what is called The Fringe. That's where you are, and that is where you will always be.
The appeasing Tories within the conservative movement are finally admitting what they really like is order, and not liberty. I hope they can see that in themselves and reform, but if we lose them, so be it.
Yup. If you "lose us", we'll still be the party in power, fighting the good fight within the bounds of our Constitutional Republic, rather than the theocracy you seem to crave so desperately, and fringers like you will remain irrelevent, screaming and pissing and moaning because no one takes you seriously.
And I am going to laugh about it, for a brief moment, then promptly relegate you to the dustbin of history, where all fringers end up.
Three things here, and I'll take them in order:
1. Your manners remain as deplorable as ever, and your smarmy silliness continues to disgust decent people on this forum post-by-disgusting-post. FYI, it's considered mannerly, on a basic level, to *ping posters you're discussing with a third party to the post in which such a discussion is taking place. But such things seem to beyond your ability to grasp, so let's move on to...
2. Far from becoming a "minority," most FReepers are repulsed by the minuscule band, of which you're a prime example, of posters who've made taking the most radical position possible on this issue into a litmus test: the "God haters" lined up on one side; the "righteous" on the other. Most of us, myself included, opposed removing the feeding tube from Terri Schiavo. Most of us, myself included, supported the efforts of those who tried to stop it legally and constitutionally, even if torn on the overall merits of the case. We were overruled. Disagree with it as you might, and I might, that's part and parcel of living in a Republic that respects, above all, the Rule of Law. If ANYTHING is the essence of what's called "conservatism," that principle is.
3. Finally, and least importantly, is this: I know not either "Just mythoughts" or "DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet"; I cannot honestly recall interacting with either of them in my time here. I'm vaguely familiar with "Chad Fairbanks" from various threads over the years, and my overall impression is that we wouldn't/don't have much use for each other. Indeed, as you no doubt noticed in that other thread I waded into against your nonsense and only incidentally in his defense, he didn't so much as squeak "boo" in gratitude.
And I wouldn't have it ANY other way; I don't have much use for his brand of FReeper or the company he keeps around here and, apparently, he mine. But the larger point, and the one I want to impress on YOU, is this: I have even LESS use for yours. If history teaches us nothing else, it tells us that the one sure mark of unhinged fanaticism is when the response to it involves the unifying of two completely disparate and otherwise mutually disdainful sides in reaction to it. You've managed it here, and still have no shame--though your cheeks should blush with it.
I'd think about that for a bit, where I you.
