Why is it that Freepers who have been here for the better part of twenty years are prepared to trash their record (or Opus out), with vicious attacks on someone else's candidate? I know we're a big dysfunctional family but we're still all conservatives, of various hue. So why would you offend intentionally offend other Freepers - and in this case, JimRob - when all that would do is harden their views?

It’s simple really. Regular folks are being manipulated by professionals in this campaign. This is psychological warfare going on and a lot of people can’t see the forest through the trees. I put the blame squarely on Ted “Only I am the true conservative” Cruz. Now that he has lost his supporters have no way out of the corner they have painted themselves into. Sad, really.
No big spiritual or earth shattering expose.
It is difficult to accept the possibility that one is fundamentally wrong, and those who wish to intercede are actually right.
Some, who have been around since the foundation pouring, cannot grasp that fact that their sierra has a septic odor.
The thing is, Neil and I used to be VERY good friends, way back when. Frankly, I have the scintilla of an idea WHY he just OPUSED....NONE! At one time, long ago, I believed that I knew him. Heck, I even knew him off FR. So this threads leaves me shocked, to say the least.
This the first post, of his, that I have seen in many years, so perhaps he has changed. *shrugs*
BtA, how can you ask that when you can remember all the well known old time Freepers gone by the wayside through the years.
Some people just cannot remain civil in the face of vigorous dissent. I have been on the wrong side here from time to time to a small degree. When I was a youth in the 1960's I was fortunate to read a "Reader's Digest" article "Don't Butt Your Head Against a Brick Wall" or at least it was something like that. That lesson in futility and reason directed me toward a more thoughtful approach in arguments and discussion. Those so full of themselves that they cannot suffer their own introspection do not impress me much. Neil E. Wright needs to go outside at recess and swing on the monkey bars for thirty minutes.
Did you find it humorous that the writer Neil E. Wright, in his magnum opus postremum, culled his thoughts from Herschel Smith who culled his thoughts from Jonah Goldberg?
