Just got back from the WPPFF, my hair is standing on end. I felt like I was in High School listening to the popular kids stroke each others egos.
You have more fortitude than I going in there.
BTW, you don't have to go there to see them stroke each others' egos. There is plenty of it going on around here too :(
Didn't read the whole thread. And don't agree with all their agenda points. But I do agree with this (somewhat modified) agenda, especially Point 5:
1. The discussion threads regarding Terri Schiavo (hereafter referred to as "TS") have become too full of innuendo, rumormongering, hyperbole, hysteria, namecalling, paranoia, and general poor behavior.
2. Said threads have degenerated into "echo chambers", wherein the same, common thoughts are continually posted again and again, and the same old disreputable, unconfirmed and/or false urban myths are propagated.
3. Anyone who joins in said theads with alternative viewpoints to the most extreme posts are routinely driven away with slander, accusations, and vile namecalling.
5. That the continued calls for armed insurrection, military or paramilitary involvement, impeachements of politicians and judges, and death threats are embarassing, stupid, shortsighted, doomed to failure, and contrary to most if not all conservative thought prior to this case, as well as damaging in the extreme to FR and the conservative movement as a whole.
7. That the holding up of swastika and other Nazi imagery towards the police and the Bushes and the use of children as political props can only reflect badly on conservatives in general, and should be discouraged.
