Hi Mud: All I did was ask the questions .
It is up to you all to find the answers.

I'll take all the heat if it puts this site back together again.


I have been reading. I have not perused any other sites, and frankly don't give a damn what they have to say.

I have nothing but contempt for the federal government. As they have caused much of the problems that this country is facing. People that support this federal government monster are truly scary individuals..

Thanks Joe..

Kind of reminds you of a kool-aid party, doesn't it?

That's just it ... he's complaining primarily about the POSTERS who give this site its flavor and everyone's certain this is something he needs to iron out with The Man who (it appears) they credit with the iron fist necessary to keep this site "on track" and in comport with The Party's Progressive Vision (as the likes of former-radical and now celebrated GOP strategist Horowitz put it).

Bizarre.

If Jim had a change of heart tomorrow and decided that the GOP was more top-down corrupt and the greater threat to our liberties and our Constitutional Republic than the dimwit Dems, what then? I'm guessing that now he's behind the Administration, there's no going back? What?

However depressing (you're darn tootin' I miss the "old FR") it's certainly been an interesting phenomenon to watch.

Thanks, none for me today. I'll have a Guiness Stout.

Well ... to your health, then!

(Gosh, I'm glad it's Friday.)

Me neither...looks like Joe posted and left, perhaps he'd do us the honor of coming back and explaining hisself.

I hope so .. I like Joe .. he's worked his butt off for FR and I have to say .. this whole thing sadden me very much

I thought this matter was put to rest when JR apologized and agreed to with with Joe

This to me sounds like something that would come from a certain other site

Re-read his post - I starts off talking about overthrowing the government and then discusses "voting-out" leaders in the Germany example.

Is Joe making a play to advocate new rule on FR? Sounds like him and Jim have their differences. I am curious for Joe to explain himself. If he would like to see things run a different way, let's hear it.

But he won't. This thread will stay, and his syncophants will beg him to stay; and the FRILLIONS of EXODUS threatening FREEPERS will post infinites posts of accusatory "ASS KISSING" "BUSHBOT'ing" slamns; and Joe will sit in his Freeper Creeper, watching the threat evolve and take form; then it will be posted over on LP and they will laugh about it, and make fun of posters and hurl personal insults in Jim Robinsons direction; and in about two or three days Joe will show up...and lob another stink bomb.

Having raised two children of my own, and a niece, I am quite familiar with how a temper tantrum is thrown when one does not get their own way.

~~~~~Its like Jim and Joe are the parents here and none of us want to see them get divorced. ~~~~~

VA..

No one has to support or weigh-in, either, when 'one of the parents' decides to air their grievances in public in an attmept to garner support.

Can you have ANY doubt that the purpose of this thread is to try and line-up support? And make a pre-emptive strike?

I am of the mind that how ever grievous BadJoe sees his plight at FR, and regardless of the good works he has contributed to the 'marriage' in the past, it is still 'trailer trash' to stomp your foot, repeatedly, in public in an attempt to smear your 'partner'.

THAT is the point.

Just my opinion.

I'm wondering what he has told them in private - and that would include names such as CaL, Clarity, mojo, etc.

Mojo? Gee, you've quite the reach ... well before your time, even.

Try not to be a "significant part of the problem" by attempting to spice up threads with stale ingredients.

But when a person with some responsibility lays in a pit with a bunch of vipers, he has to have some of the same characteristics lest he get bitten himself.

Interesting theory.

And here I thought the acrimony, deception, hatefulness and suspicion just rubbed off on those who can't resist mixing it up with the vipers.

You think they choose to assume viper characteristics?

I was defending Joe against a cheap shot that was taken. I am not siding either with or against him. I have all the respect in the world for both Joe and Jim. And no, I don't agree with your theory about this being a pre-emptive strike. You've read too many Tom Clancy novels.

However, the Bushbotulism of this forum cannot be denied.

Example: "Oh Please .. is there ANYTHING you don't blame on folks who support our President"

The moderation sucks, but everybody knows that now... what is this thread supposed to accomplish?

The more you stir the s**t, the more it stinks.
