Free Republic

To quote my personal hero when faced with a “heckler”.....

“SHUT UP”

R. Reagan

I’m not going to answer any more of your drivel. To do so would be lowering myself to an “intellect” and “mindset” I find offensively unacceptable.

You are the guy who is obsessed with what you deem “drama queens”.

Are you gay?

You are a very kind person, but I do not need the apologies of anyone on this site.

For them to have truly hurt me, I would have to have some degree of sentiment invested in them and I assure you, there is none.

I told the story of my father to simply explain how I came to believe the things I do. I was taught.

I won’t share too many details about my past here, mainly because of the group of folks who seem obsessed with picking apart everything or everyone they disagree with. My mother escaped with me and my siblings to the United States where we lived with family and for years, did not know my father’s fate.

Raised to believe the United States was where we would be safe, I believe it to this day.

Don’t take their attacks on me or Jews too personally. They are limited by their lack of education, narrow-mindedness and hatred, whether they realize it or not.

Thank you again.

You are an idiot. I’m assuming you know “Norma” was a CHARACTER not a real person. The true person, Gloria Swanson, would probably be 120 if she were still alive.

Comparing my age to her (or Norma for that matter who was getting on up there in the 50’s) was with tongue in cheek.

You are truly just not smart.

First I was being sarcastic about arrogance and I know Jews are the chosen people. Thanks for that.

Also- I was very touched to see your family. What a wonderful couple you and your wife must be. What blessed young children to have found such a loving family.

To undertake such a task has to be with great love of both your fellow man and G*d. I know you must be proud and I wish you and yours only the best.

And there friends, is a testimony of why this man will not vote for Mitt Romney without having to malign a faith.

It doesn’t matter how he feels about Mormons- there is plenty of reason not to support the Republican ticket without religious judgment.

Thank you Mr. Robinson for the ability to express myself here.

Though I am not a “bootlicker”, I am committed to Conservative principles and as I state repeatedly, I appreciate your hospitality.

Mr. Robinson is our host. I learned as a young man to respect a host and I have done so since I began writing here. And in my opinion, he has been very gracious.

I have neither tried to convince anyone to vote for Mr. Romney. As stated, I was not very fond of him from the beginning. I found his flopping on salient, conservative issues disconcerting and frankly, still do.

Mr. Robinson has stated his position and I respect it.

Others on this thread- have gone to great lengths to not simply state their feelings, but to bash and demoralize an entire people due to their religious beliefs. The constant barrage is not foreign to me.

While Mr. Robinson stated his beliefs and left it at that, the others who have tried to bully and malign could learn a lot from his example.

I will continue to stand up and speak, which is my G*d given right.

Neither you or any other guest here will stop me.

Finally- I am sorry your parents did not raise you better. Had they lived long enough to be “old coots”, perhaps you wouldn’t speak with such disdain and hatred.

In my opinion, you are the antithesis of the message of the Christ.

As Rabbi Heschel so beautifully wrote: “When I was younger, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people”.

As I find you neither clever or kind, it’s no surprise I never admired you and likely never will.

Now piss off and quit trying to demand I engage you. You’re repulsive.

I’m not bound to answer something simply because you asked it. This isn’t a fascistic state yet and who the hell do you think you are anyway?

I am a supporter of conservative ideals and principles. Always have been.

Conservative does NOT equal Anti-Mormon any more than it equals Anti-Jew.

You’ve never been the target of intolerance for what you believe. That’s obvious. I have.

And when I see it, I will stand against it. It is ignorant and has no place in a truly free republic.

Again, we are all here at the pleasure of the owner and even if I am removed, I will continue to stand against it- while simultaneously respecting the rights for bigots to speak their minds.

What is so confusing that you people cannot understand that concept? I could understand confusion about freedom of expression in 1980’s Poland- but I don’t believe that’s where we are!

And who died and made YOU the one to question why anyone is here?

Bunch of Sadducees.

Can you not read?

I find you, Colorfornicator and that Elsie person despicable and trying to trick me by commenting on Mr. Robinson’s words will not work.

I’m old. Not senile. Ass.

LOL. You have a wit about you I almost like!

Best of luck to you “youngster”. Quit taking your opinions so seriously and go have a little fun.

Though a hair misguided, you may grow up to be quite a man! I think there’s hope for you!

Graybeard and I can only assume you are not Gandalf-

I have said NOTHING to you, nor will I. I find you repulsive.

The site doesn’t bother me at all Kevmo. Its the bigotry and intolerance that I cannot handle and it is not often found as much as it has been on this thread.

And I am certain Mr. Robinson has said repeatedly the reasons he does not support Mr. Romney. They are politically based and not Mormon-centered.

The young man I address the “diatribe” too, was nearing his frustration point. He didn’t need to fight any longer.

Getting frustrated at my age might be exciting. Who knows? My wife my find it exciting!

Mr. Reset-

Thank you for your kind remarks. And rest assured that I will not take seriously anything you write as I had no idea you were so young that your mother probably still cuts up your meat.

Oh.....young Ansel.

In my edict- I forgot about my favorite label “TROLL”.

“Not a Christian”, “Not Conservative” and when all else fails.....a TROLL!!

I do not recall seeing your name on the thread a lot in the last few days. I’ve been involved in this discussion from fairly early on.

I would be quite surprised if you had read any of my post. Frankly, I don’t like you so I have only read the ones that have appeared in response to my writing. Nor would I look back to see what you were all about. I find you disrespectful and misguided.

However, I have been on this site for many years, not always as a poster, but always around. I remain here at the pleasure of the owner and it has been my experience that Mr. Robinson enjoys spirited debate.

Those things said, while I have absolutely no need to defend myself against a recalcitrant, name thrower, if you truly want to know my opinions about G*d, this incredible country I love or my deep love and respect for the Christian faith (the TRUE, G*d and Christ centered Christian faith- not a perverted, intolerant hate-filled, hijacked faith I have seen exhibited here by some lately) you will have to read my old posts on your own.

If you don’t care- don’t bother. As I said, I have no desire to know anymore about you than I already do.

The difference is, arrogance is already learned, therefore can’t be undone.

Ignorance on the other hand is a condition and can be overcome by education. My hope is that if people hear the truth enough, they might actually begin to understand.

And besides- aren’t we Jews supposed to be “arrogant”? After all- we are “chosen”!
