Luis, don't despair.

There is a loud-mouthed element on FR that are 100%, adolescentally aggrieved creeps. They call themselves "true conservatives" and "real patriots". What they are ... is ... real world life losers. Luis ... they want all their rights, with no attendant responsibility. "Me me me. Mine mine mine." No "ours". No "we". That's expected and somewhat cute in a five year old, alarming and needing disciplanary attention in a 12 year old, and too pathetically USUAL in our sick little group of "libertarian" and "real conservative" Freepers these days.

The word "conservative" has been completely co-opted on this forum by a group of people for whom I wouldn't walk across the room to shake their hands. Really rancid, useless folk.

I'd walk five miles to shake your hand, Luis.

As I would yours my friend.

Hiya Arne! Good to see you!

BTW...you DID notice how quickly the cast assembled.....

Yep -- I feel the same way.

Thanks Arne, you have a real gift for gab.

Yup, "conservative" has been co-opted by a bunch of statists that want to eliminate the definition of "individual" when referring to rights protected by the constitution and substitute "we" and "ours".

They don't understand that the constitution doesn't protect any "we" or "our." It protects indivdiuals. Their way is the way of Stalin and Hitler...blind addiction to the "we" and "our" to the exclusion of the individual.

But what the hell do I know, I've just got a BA in History, a JD and have worked in public service long enough to see what happens when ideolouges acheive power in government.....that oesn't qualify me to offer up any opinions so I'll slink back to lurking. (Although this thread has been quite illuminating)
