FR's CrippleCreek

VANITY ^ | 25OCT2016 | Cletus

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Anyone heard from CrippleCreek lately? He said he was taking some "time away". Since he lives near my "born & raised" stomping grounds, I'd like to see him back on FR.

[Just mythoughts]

Maybe you have a clue there, why he's gone. Principled people don't always put up with personal attacks.

That my 'dear' is a two way street!!!!!! Principle is in the eye of the beholder. And the Cruzmites do NOT have ownership of principles. This election is about returning 'we the people' to government... NOT giving into the fiery darts of the devil woman.

[TADSLOS]

I hope he returns at some point. CC is quite insightful and I always enjoyed his posts.

I have consistently posted that Trump is STEP ONE (of 100 steps?) to reclaim our Republic.

I have consistently posted that Trump is STEP ONE (of 100 steps?) to reclaim our Republic.

And you would be 100% correct. Trump is not our 'god', he is our bulldozer tearing down the 'political' status quo that has made us their 'slaves'. I reverence NO man... But I so do admire Trump's courage to go to the heart of the 'beast' system that has very nearly made our Constitution 'null and void'. We all have much work to do...

Look you miss the guy I don’t. Trying to guilt me is a waste of time.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Well, then, “principled people” need to man up and own up to their actions. That isn’t a ‘personal attack’. It’s a statement of how I perceived his behavior from someone who had a favorable opinion of him prior to that behavior.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

I do hope it wasn’t anything more serious.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

meh

[mcshot]

I noted his active participation, along with other familiar handles, on a competitive site that is “never Trump”. That was about a month ago and when I discovered their views I departed after a short post. Couldn’t believe it then or now as I thought these were patriotic folk.

Cripple Creek is a nice little mining town with lots of history in the Colorado Rockies....that’s why I asked

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Up on Cripple Creek
She sends me
If I spring a leak
She mends me
If I have to speak
She defends me

A drunkards dream if I ever did see one

[Robert DeLong]

I know he didn’t care much for Trump, and I think that is what caused him to decide to take time off.

[mcshot]

...”time off” = went elsewhere.

[digger48]

I hope things are OK with him. I enjoyed his sense of humor and the pics of his doggies and lake.

[tumblindice]

I miss CC’s posts, but agree with you one hundred per cent.
Anyone not supporting Trump doesn’t belong on Free Republic.

Beat the Chappaqua Beast!

[Political Junkie Too]

CrippleCreek is active on the GOP Briefing Room site, where the banished NeverTrumps went.

I never met the man, but I recall he always displayed a good deal of wit and wisdom on this forum. I’d be happy to see him back if and when he chooses to re-appear in these parts.

[Hot Tabasco]

He was rude and acted like a spoiled child.

Sorry but I strongly disagree with your statement. Out of most people here, he was one of the most polite and informative despite the topic being discussed.

That said, the rest of us are hardly perfect, and that doesn’t mean he should banish himself.

With that being said, don't forget the 2012 purge of the Romney supporters who were either banned or said F'it to this site.

Everybody here is entitled to their opinions but unfortunately there is an attack mentality towards anyone who doesn't agree with the collective..

Cripplecreek's reason for leaving was a classic example of the so called "purists" eating their own and he didn't want any part of it...

And to his credit, instead of sticking around and attempting to defend himself from the constant onslaughts from everyone here who disagreed with him, he quietly left............

And FR has again lost another soldier to the CONSERVATIVE PURIST attack squads............

[sit-rep]

I know he did time at my old site once upon a time but haven’t seen him since.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Disagree all you want. Your disagreement doesn’t change what I observed and my impression of CC’s behavior. The impression would only be changed by a reversal of the previously observed behavior, which is difficult to accomplish when one is so butthurt that he banishes himself to some zero-traffic ‘conservative’ purist website somewhere.

I don’t care about purging of Romney supporters. We were under what I consider an attack by trolls who were hell bent on subverting this website to support a candidate whose goals were diametrically opposed to our own. Banning people who do such things is an imperative.

Nobody ‘purged’ CrippleCreek. Nobody drove him away. We just didn’t support his lame ass faker of a candidate and he had trouble dealing with that. That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
