This is not DU!

Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL!

Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc.

We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.

Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be sure we come out of this with a Republican president, house and senate. The only way we can accomplish that is to unify the Republican Party. We can't destroy our own candidates. Whoever it is will need to pull us ALL together. Keep the ultimate goal in sight - Freedom! We are not here to fight each other. We are here as allies to fight for God, family, country, and FREEDOM! As William Wallace said in Brave Heart, "Unite the clans!".

Your personal favorite may be Ron DeSantis, mine happens to be President Trump. But if DeSantis receives the nomination, I'll support him, as I hope most other FReepers will.

Incidentally, we are getting way too much profanity. This is NOT DU, this is NOT CNN - (in deep voice) this IS FR!

Finally, if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.

Thank you all very much, and God bless you.

The First Amendment provides the Freedom to speak out against the government without repercussion. Free speech is not a license to be abusive, or to say anything at any time anywhere. That is the liberal’s interpretation of the First Amendment. If you read the Founders’ writings, you will understand this to be the case. George Washington fined his troops $25 for each instance of profanity.

Thank you, I’ve used “commrade” in jest since some days it appears we are all in the same boat Under this administration. I apologize if that was misunderstood.

Can I just say one word about stalking? It's a positive one. When I had the hots for a female jogger, it was the one time I was able to lose 20 pounds.

“if DeSantis receives the nomination, I’ll support him”

If DeSantis receives the nomination I WILL NOT VOTE AT ALL.

If Trump does not receive the nomination I WILL NOT VOTE AT ALL.

TRUMP or NO ONE! Trump is this country’s ONLY hope. If Trump doesn’t win reelection, we are FINISHED as a country.

To: dayglored; rlmorel

I concur with your response to rlmorel post #`145.

This is my observation. I have been a FReeper for 20 year. When I see a strange comment on a thread, I usually click on the poster’s name to see when they became a FReeper.

All too often the poster with strange comments has been a FReeper for 25 years and this is my first encounter with their names.

So I have become suspicious the FR has been corrupted by those who oppose us and have managed to become a FReeper today with a sign on date that is 25 years old.

Regarding posters who like to get people riled up, my advice is this: “Do not get into a peeing contest with a skunk.”

So, you have no problem using this site, but refuse to support it. Fortunately there are enough FReepers willing enough to keep it running, to make it possible for you to post here.

Mr. Jim, your call for civility is much appreciated!

The topics you highlighted - the US fueling of the Ukraine war and Republican presidential candidates - have been full of nasty, personal comments for months.

Thank you, JR!

I’m convinced there are groups of paid shills here, with agendas.

It’s actually legal now, for the Pentagon to do so. They advance the Pro War pieces, and trash freepers who argue against.

The Ukrainian Lobby certainly posts here. There are a few shills who post daily on how well the Ukrainians are destroying Russian troops. It’s so obvious lol.

And the paid shills from certain campaigns. I’ve received an email threat for outing one guy who’s main agenda is anti-Desantis misinformation hit pieces. Many of them flat out lies. I hit the abuse button on him, said, “please limit this shill to 2 posted articles per day (he was posting 7 or so, mostly lies). His enforcer threatened me via email that his group would hit the abuse on every comment I post, as “spam,” if I continued lol.

I’m completely against the US supporting ANY foreign war. Or NATO, for that matter.

I love Ron and Don, and Vivek. I would be very happy with any of those three. The paid propaganda (imo) hit pieces from certain Freepers need to stop. They’re dividing us. That’s evil.

This place has become a board peppered with propaganda and hit pieces. It would be nice to give warnings, and even ban, the paid shills. They’re always starting food fights here.

“unify the Republican Party. “

WHAT?

If by “unify” you mean PURGING the Republican Party of leftists, RINOs, and corrupt politicians, The I agree. I don’t think that is what you meant.

“Unify” with the likes of Mitt Romney, Linda Graham, Susan Collins, Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell?

NEVER!

Right. If I get hit, I may hit back.

But even in war where you’re killing the other guy, it’s not a personal vendetta against the other guy - you’re fighting for your cause or country like the other guy is.

My (our) cause is freedom and by God’s grace I will fight to the death for it.

” incessant use of profanity does not enhance one’s statements.”

True, but take out the word “incessant” and it no longer is.

I can’t speak for Jim, but I think he meant more the Trump-DeSantis and assorted pre-primary infighting. It tends to get pretty intense leading up to a general election primary season.

Just my guess, though.
