That is the truth. I am disgusted with FReepers who think savages kidnapping our citizens is funny. In fact, it is so out of character that I am willing to bet they are trolls. Sadly, it's not at all out of character for Free Republic anymore. This site is merely a shadow of its former great self.

It has been changing since long ago. Who knows...you might not have liked it back in 98 when things were really serious, and the site was full of right wing conservatives. Although the conspiracy theory's were far more prevalent. The site was actually started to promote constitutional conservatism...And to rid out government corruption. I do notice that things change in waves. Sometimes shifting this way or that. What will get you banned at one moment becomes the common point of view in another time. Some times I hate the collective thought here, and sometimes people seem to wake up and realize that it not just about parties, but about principles. You learn to just ignore what you don't like for the most part. I agree that the joking is sometimes in poor taste and it distracts from the issues at hand. I have seen this guy reporting for Fox news many times and I find it in extremely poor taste for anyone to make a joke about a guy who is risking his life to bring us the news. I hope that he comes out of this OK. Somebody should keep bombing the crap out of these people if that does not happen to be the case.
