FR used to be a lot of things. We used to be thoroughly decent, even to those who were not decent to us, on these kinds of threads. That was because of a shared sense of humanity. Whenever a DUmmie would start in with attacking FR, one could do a side-by-side of these kinds of threads and show the difference. Now, I’m not so sure.

No offense, but could be that’s why we’re losing our country to them.
Marquess of Queensbury rules no longer apply, my friend. The other side wants us and everything we love erased.
If they understood “Live and Let Live”, and lived it, I’d be inclined to agree with you. But they don’t.
It’s a different world, and gentleman’s rules no longer apply. That went out the window the day that their White house sockpuppet said “if they bring a knife, we bring a gun...”
