A bit of advice. Review your own posts. Take a look at the hostile and rude attacks. The shrill and unprovoked insults. I’m not talking about McCain specifically now. I’m not even talking about the crappy way you addressed me. I’m talking about what appears to be a true attitude problem you might want to address. FReepers respect one another. If you want some of that respect, you might want to tone it down. There’s no need to respond to a post you disagree with by slamming the person to the ground and pissing on them. It’s ridiculous. I don’t appreciate being called “slimy” or a “closet liberal”. As I stated, McCain has worked for this country his entire life in the best manner he knows how. What have you done, you whiny closet troll? I don’t appreciate YOU, little boy, calling ANY vet ANYTHING. You haven’t earned that right. You, ain’t even in long pants yet and your service to this country has yet to begin. So, ME generation, get off your wannabe intellectual high horse and take a lesson in humility when you address people on this forum. And if you think “not pinging” you to a post is equal in rudeness to being called “slimy”, and being attacked FIRST I might add, or any of the other lovely comments you’ve made to posters on this website, you’re in for a disappointing life.
Cmon. Save your fire. We are all going to need it when President Obama is in power and we are united as Conservatives overturning his agenda at every turn. Some of the people you insult today may well be in the conservative foxhole with you tomorrow.
I don't respect liberals, even if they are Freepers.
Let's review why I think you are a liberal (or at least, a closeted one), shall we?
Your words, verbatim:
"As for the Republican party, the Party is not moving in the conservative direction. Things change. We also don't toss virgins into volcanos anymore."

The political spectrum is a single line that runs from conservatism (right) to the mushy middle to liberalism (left). If you're not moving towards the right, you're either moving towards the center or the left; furthermore, your assertion that "things change...we also don't toss virgins into volcanos (sic) anymore" in the same section as "...the Republican Party...is not moving in the conservative direction..." contains a subtle implication that conservatism is outdated and primitive, akin to throwing virgins into volcanoes.
The only other place I hear that traditional morality (e.g. The Bible) is "outdated" is from the liberals that have taken over the mainline denomination to which I used to belong. So, guess who I associate you with!
Oh, and here's another curious gem:
Your words, verbatim:
"To state that any vote McCain made is the senate eclipses his performance as a prisoner of war in Vietnam is to vomit liberalism."
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2071731/replies?c=750
So, are you suggesting that simply because McCain was a POW, his later "performance" is not open for question or debate? Are you suggesting that McCain's experience as a POW is some sort of "Get Out of Jail Free" card for his later actions in the Senate upon returning to the United States and entering the civilian world?
Okay, so let's cut to the chase: based on those two comments, as well as your attempt to discredit me simply because I'm a college student, I have good reason to doubt whether you are actually a conservative at all, and hence why I have very little respect for you, posting on a conservative (not necessarily Republican) forum.
So, care to explain why your comments raise all sorts of red flags? Or, perhaps, to rephrase yourself so that I may get a better idea of whom I'm talking with?
(Oh, and by the way, McCain is not just a veteran of the armed forces but a politician, a public servant, and a public figure, and as such is open to mockery, ridicule, and questioning, including by folks like me. Veterans do not receive "Get Out of Jail Free" cards to do whatever they want after they leave the service; the only folks who do deserve the level of respect that you believe they should be accorded are those who are MIA or KIA and are unable to speak for themselves.)
Also, try not to refer to other Freepers (like the folks I ping) as "orcs" (source), since quite a few of them have been here for far longer than you have.
