No. Not all the time. Friends or not. 

I still get asked on occasion if it's really necessary to be "so hostile" in my posts. The short answer is "Yes, dammit! I do."
I take heat from the libs... which I enjoy. Lib bashing was and is the original intent of this site. The evils these maggots have perpetrated on America are so abominable that hostility and intolerance is, I feel, the only appropriate way to meet them.

But I also get a little occasional flack from fellow Conservatives. This post is for you.
I had some angry at me for speaking ill of McCain. Others were mad at my comments about Huckabee.
Yes, I even get a little hostile with my own side. That's the nature of things when you let your true feelings be known.

In the heat of the battle during the primaries we all argued against the candidates before us and promoted "our guy". Here we are about to face a huge election and the mess of candidates we got were all but Conservative. I had to be hostile and vocal about it. No one wants to plan for second or third choice before it's time.
Yes, it makes me angry that every one of these guys wants claim that they're the Reagan Conservative we've been waiting for, but upon taking a little time to research and study of their records I discovered that almost all of them, in the top tier, were anything but Reagan Conservatives.
It's maddening to see that so many of our fellow "Conservatives" handed us McCain as our candidate.
I remember waiting in line to vote in our primaries. An older lady made a little small talk with me. A little into the friendly small talk she asked, "you are voting for McCain aren't you?". I replied with "Are you out of your mind?", turned my back on her and went inside. We had just talked about the need for a strong Conservative for POTUS and she spits out the name of the same guy who has stabbed his party in the back on too many occasions.

I also spoke with friends who were supporting Huckabee. I liked Huckabee at first... until I studied his record. Still liked him... just isn't conservative. I could've cared less that he was a Baptist minister. The fact that he shares my belief in God is wonderful, but, so do approximately 80% or more of my fellow Americans. What astounded me though, was when I asked people why they were supporting Huckabee and I got almost the same answer every time. It was either "He's a Christian" or "He was a minister". Alright... what else? Virtually no one I spoke with could name anything about him beyond that. People were actually supporting him based solely on his Christian credentials! Of course there were those who like the fact that he's pro-life, myself included. But for Huckabee to run as a Conservative Republican with his liberal record of tax and spend was insulting, and reduced him to nothing more than another fraud.

Yeah, I get hostile. I'll continue to do so. You're welcome to disagree. You're free to be offended. My only true enemies are the anti-American libs who attempt to de-God America, chisel away at our Constitution, disrespect our military and make noise about the fact that soldiers do indeed die in war while at the same time fighting tooth and nail to make sure the murder of infants remains legal. My true enemies are those same vermin who want to usher in socialism. To the rest of you, don't take it too personal if I dis'd your guy in the primaries. We all want the best in our President, and I think that most of us agree that no matter how uninspiring the results of the primaries were, the alternative is so abominable that we'll mostly do what we need to do come November. Come what may.

In the end every one of us knows this whole mess of a government and the enormous amount of power we've allowed them to have is out of control, and that the problem is coming to a head. Figuring out where that sucker will pop is the trick. Until then...
