I never attempt to demoralize anyone except people who cross some kind of line into incivility, as you have by more or less calling me a troll.
I don't try to divide anyone. I try to express my honest views honestly, and sure, that has a tendency to divide those who agree with me from those who disagree.
Tough beans, "Veritas." I don't go in for baseless, chest-beating optimism. I think we Republicans and conservatives are going through a very rough patch, and, to vary the metaphor, I won't pretend to see a light at the end of the tunnel if I don't.
Morale is important, but I think I've done my share to boost it, and others seem to take care of that anyway. What is often lacking on FReep is clear-headed assessments of our situation, and I try to call 'em as I see 'em. Don't ever trash me for that. It just makes you look like a fool.
