Since Obuma was elected to POTUS, I have been coming to Free Republic to get news, opinions and a few laughs. Most of the serious posts were bemoaning the out of control government and what could be done about it. "Oh Whoa is Me!". Then along comes a constitutional conservative. For the first time since Ronald Reagan, we have a constitutional candidate running for the GOP nomination. This man was elected by conservatives to go to Washington and stand up to the elites that no longer listen to the American people. He didn't go to Washington and "fall in" with the crowd. He went there and stood up to them just like he said it would - calling a spade a spade. I'm sorry, but I don't understand how otherwise intelligent people can fall for the likes of Donald Trump. This man was donating to the same people we were fighting to throw out of office the last eight years. Suddenly he is a conservative after years of joining with the liberals to promote big fat bloated government. He is not an outsider. He has been greasing the palms of the slime bags in Washington for 30 years. He can't even define what conservatism is. Wake up America. You are no better than the sycophants that suck up to Obuma. You can't see that Trump is just pushing your buttons with his rhetoric - just like Obuma pushed his sycophants buttons. The hate I see on Free Republic for Ted Cruz, Mark Levin and all the other great conservative leaders remind me of liberal websites. It is disgusting.
“If this were the 1700s, you’d have a duel on your hands.”
(I’ve always thought that we should bring back dueling. It would promote more civil behavior everywhere.)
I agree with nopardons and disagree with luckystarmom. This is divisive, but no way comparable to April 2007 where dozens of Freepers were zotted. Do a search on the threads using the keyword "bugzapper" to get an idea of how bad it can get. IMO, we are no way no how that close, and I hope we don't get there.

I’ve been here since Monica was delivering pizza to the White Hut and lurked before that. I’ve been involved in many counterprotests during the reign of His Slickness through the present day. I bend the knee to no one here.
This is the 5th or 6th unlabeled vanity I have seen denigrating not only Trump but those of us who favor him here.
You’re no better than the Bernie supporters I’ve been having to unfriend on Facebook.
Same snotty tone.
No thanks. Have a day.
And Trump will show the one with all the moments in history including that one and then the now moments of Hillary’s many gaffes.
Hillary is expired, past the sell date, out of touch and out of time.
Agreed. Trump is first in my book, but this election is far, far FAR too important to sit out.
This could be, and probably is, the turning point for our future.
Right you are, JinC!
Totally agree.
See my post on this thread.
What the hell are you doing here then and you've been here long enough to know you ping a Freeper when posting about them. Jerk!
...and the media wins on both sides, it’s a head shaker. Folks everywhere have lost the ability of independent thought.
Yawn.....
Is that all you got? Hillary’s unfavorable are at 56%.
Democrats are mad because she has not destroyed the country fast enough, thus the 56.
Republicans are mad because TRUMP is destroying the Establishment, thus the 67.
Oh, the horror! Let us all vote for Cruz and save the Establishement, who is rushing to his side. LOL!
Trump will be the candidate. It’s time to rally and focus our energy on defeating Hillary.
Cruz was always the fall back guy for the establishment in D.C.
Learn it.
Based on the prior 23 replies, you lose your bet.
Regardless if you are a Cruz supporter or a Trump supporter, at this point in the game, people should be rallying around the guy with the best chance so we can beat the Dems!
Trump was a businessman.
He ran his company and made friends on both sides of the aisle.
Trump is a Celebrity, mixes and mingles with the hoi polloi from time to time.
Now he is a statesman. He has to define his new arena of operations.
Get on the Trump Train, We The People are going to be in charge again.
If I'm going to vote (again) for someone I have trust issues with (Trump), I need to think the damn thing through.
What many of us "Cruzers" don't need is the constant drumbeat of pejoratives that question our intelligence, sanity, and love for this country.
A bit of personal history: in 1972, I earned a 4 year Army ROTC Scholarship. I was ostracized the last two months of HS for it. The HS is near Berkeley, and the area is liberal. LOL, I even had a teacher say he was disappointed with me to my face.
I've never been back, pi$$ on them.
That's how I roll.
You are no better than the sycophants that suck up to Obuma. You can’t see that Trump is just pushing your buttons with his rhetoric - just like Obuma pushed his sycophants buttons.
*******************
Insulting people is generally not a good persuasion technique. I don’t really care if people insist Trump is not a “conservative” by their own self imposed definition. On my top 6 issues Trump scores no lower than a B. It’s fascinating watching him shape the battle space with his “button pushing”, branding opponents, and one by one knockimg them out. His ability to man handle and never cower to the MSM is quite impressive. He’s just way better at it than Cruz. It makes him much more electable than Ted.
My gut feeling is that for all his flaws, Trump is a patriot.
If he gets the nomination, he’s got my vote.
