I stand with you 100%. Now, if we can squash the infighting among ourselves, maybe we can focus our attention of the atrocities of the Left and their lies.
At least I can hope.
I guess they'd have to continue the chart on the right all the way to mono-cellular life forms in order to include the democraps...

Red Rumpus
In the Beginning such people were prominent liberals who were lured into sponsoring or joining organization that seemed American enough at the time. When the Moscow-directed line emerged, numerous liberals quit. But others like those below stuck it out. Some of them were receptive to shrewd Communistic persuasiveness. Some in high positions stubbornly ignored their critics in the honest belief that there would eventually be a meeting of the minds. Still others cynically pursued personal ambition, thinking that Communists could help them along with their careers. Not a few became so notorious that they were accused of being actual members of the party. Some of those pictured here publicly and sincerely repudiate Communism, but this does not alter the fact that they are of great use to Communist cause.
Indeed membership would damage their special usefulness. Innocently or not, they accomplish quite as much as for the Kremlin in their glamorous way as a card holder does in his drab toil. The Communist-front organizations have been exposed often enough, however, so that by now the perennial joiner whose friends try to excuse him be is "just a dupe," is clearly a superdupe

This is eye-opening.
It is truly amazing how the Democrats can twist any law to suit their purpose. Of course that's not difficult for those who believe the end justifies the means. They're busy twisting and tweaking CFR as we speak. Thanks for the post. It's very informative.
But that's the point. It is a hate site.
Democrats.com, DemocraticUnderground.com, and our friends over at EVILGOPBASTARDS.com have a function: keep the Democratic Party's activist wing all ginned up so when some smoothtalking liberal with blow-dried hair and a gift for gab comes knocking, they'll go to the mat for the guy.
You do that by using Hate as a vehicle. Some Freepers are actually foolish enough to hate in return. Thankfully, most of us are not, as we know garden variety Democrats from all walks of life who are just like you and me. However, these activists are not just like you and me. They hate with a relish. It's a hate I haven't seen in a long time in this country. It does remind me of something, however....
These days the left is filled with mindless hatred and conspiracy theories. That is a good thing for us, of course, because the more frustrated the left gets, the more it displays its inner fascist core. And at bottom, that is what they are: fascists. They have a right to tell the rest of us how to live our lives because they are better than we are.
That's what fascism amounts to, and that fatal assumption is the foundation for the modern Left.
So then...
The proper attitude towards the Left Activists is one of undisguised contempt, mixed in with a bit of pity, but never hatred.
See, actual hatred should be reserved for the likes of Saddam and the Islamic Fascists of bin Laden's ilk. That's what these Democrats will never understand.
Rather, they will waste their time trying to prove that Prescott Bush was a Nazi hireling or somesuch nonsense, or that Bush really knew the September 11th attacks were going to happen, and let them happen. Or they'll go on about the Stolen Election (I like to say that when you start talking about the 2000 election to a room full of these people, it's like watching the Hitler Youth get off the train at Nuremburg-they get really excited.), and so on. And so forth.
And it's a real waste of time, something God never gives us any more of than He has decided upon in advance. But let them waste their time on conspiracies and hate. We have better things to do over here at FR. Better yet, we have better things to do than to read this bilge from one of the Rat hate sites.
So once again: let's not post this stuff over here anymore.
It is, after all, a big waste of time.
Be Seeing You,

Leeches.
I trolled that site for about a week... then they banned me.
There is no discourse there. Only Bush and Republican bashing. I guess that's how commies operate.
But anticonservative web discussion is no more of a challenge to us than anticonservative talk radio--no real factor. Why? Because the niche for anticonservative discussion is filled by journalism. Journalists and other anticonservatives define "objectivity" as the opposite of "conservative," and conduct a jihad against any conservative being positioned as being objective.
The internet is the medium best suited for rational give-and-take, even more than talk radio. Slash-and-run tactics don't work so well when the audience can reread the attack and compare with the rational response. Superficiality is a crashing bore on the Internet venue, just as it is in talk radio. So I say, if (to a specific individual) you can't promote FR in particular, promote the Internet in general anyway. They just might figure it out on their own . . .

Anyone print some stickers with this yet?
Anyone know of a good pub near HWY 6 on Westheimer?
Just what/how would we FREEP?
