This great thread of Jim`s, and old Sam Adams have a lot in common. One for road.
"Driven from every other corner of the earth, freedom of thought and the right of private judgment in matters of conscience direct their course to this happy country as their last resort."

We have to show their true colors. We can't just gloss this over.

Well, Fatima, we Freepers find the light a good thing to shine boldly. Only evil fears the darkness.
And so, it’s a good thing you’re not a moth, my FRiend.

— ...but all this glee and drama and tearing down of some people...
There is a heavy military presence here at FR—JR himself was Navy (not just in the Navy). These people understand, deeply, the meaning of duty, honor, and commitment. To them these aren’t just high-sounding words, but life experiences you and I cannot understand because we, thanks to them, were not there.
Sun Tzu, who wrote the primer on things military 2500 years ago said, in effect, that a good leader cannot be too attached to his people or it will become a weakness. Neither can he be too distant or they will not follow. He must walk a fine line somewhere in between those extremes.
Sometimes, in the line of duy, for various reasons, friends are lost: transfer, discharge, or the inevitable. They did their duty and we must do ours. The mission goes on.
I imagine Jim sees FR as a mission. While there may be pain associated with the loss of some members, duty and the mission come first.
Besides, this isn’t death, just a dishonorable discharge.
What about all the glee? I’ve heard that those who’ve survived intense combat sometimes experience a period of euphoria because they have looked death in the eye-socket and survived! (Several military units use images of skulls in their emblems, in part, for this reason.) Mourning and guilt often follow. Be patient with both phases.
If they stand to do it, how can we not stand to support them?

Hey Neighbor (and BG, Neighbor further up the road...where I actually spend a lot of time nowadays...I need to Freepmail you speaking of that!)
That’s so funny...I’m five minutes behind CAluv in the thread...and five minutes down the street...and just had the same reaction and almost posted the same thing...glad I read a little further and saw your post first!
Hi to you both! :-)

Thanks. I wished he would.
He has some negatives that, I think, could be overcome and even work to his favor. But, I think he's gun shy. :(

“Can you believe this has been going on since Saturday?”
Absolutely! I look at Faith as having “belief for a reason”. This thread is just another “reason” I can add to my faith in conservatism and all it stands for.
Look forward to chatting sometime.
