Seriously, how do we advance the conservative agenda without being able to support the our most basic right.

I did not come here to squabble with fellow "conseratives", though I hardly think some of the actions I've seen around here would fit that bill.

If we must adopt the tactics of the other side I think it should be attack, attack, attack, (these attacks should be directed at those that would destroy America from within) and defend the constitution while we still can.

Does it bother you that a poll taken on our "conservative" forum shows that 77% of us think that we should open a can of Whup-ass on Saddam Hussein?

Do you think that our new perpetual war is the conservative thing to do?

I think one Wall with 58,000 servicemens names on it is enough, I don't want another jumbo sized monument filled with the names of military and civilian causulties of this new war.

I have real concerns about following in the footsteps of Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ and X42.

I really couldn't care less about the FRN one way or another provided you left us alone to do our work, we've lots to do.

Lead,(the crux of the problem) follow (not likely) or get out of the way (please).

For true, no malice, no games, just talking to you.

Why, looky -- Another important and divisive issue coalesces out of the mist. We must discuss it at once! And we must discuss it here -- right on this very thread.

If we're following the Askel Model (which may or may not be the case) any opinion I offer will be grotesquely, insultingly distorted, prompting me to post further clarifications and explanations. These too will be misrepresented. If I express resentment at being treated this way, we get to see the Victim Dance (Look! I'm being viciously attacked again!) along with enough snide remarks (Gosh, you really have some emotional issues, don't you?) to keep the pot bubbling nicely.

Not pleasant, of course. But the alternative is to talk about the great time everybody had at FRiva, the things we learned, and what the Network can do next. And that will never do.

Actions, so they say, speak louder than words.

Sometimes the only sincerity is silence.
