Free Republic mentioned in "Chronicles" magazine article.

"We supported the GOP and we kicked Democrat butt. We helped establish Republican control of both houses of Congress along side a Republican President for one of the very few times in modern history. We helped set the stage to begin replacing liberal activist judges with conservative judges. We helped block the liberal democrats who have controlled government for most of the last seventy years and we've set them back thirty years and maybe longer. And that's not to mention establishing Republican control in many state and local governments, some for the first time in history. .... Congratulations to all who made this historical event possible!"

And we did it in spite of the fact that we still have some naive, unsophisticated, bull-headed posters here who would rather cut their noses off to spite their faces (withold their vote or vote third party) if Mr./Ms. Perfection isn't running for office.

Their narrow ?thinking? prevents them from being able to see the big picture, and/or know what "setting the stage" must entail.

As the politically smart, street-fighter DemocRATS know, INCREMENTALISM WORKS EVERY TIME IT'S TRIED

This forum would not be attacked unless it was effectively standing in the way of KOOKS / cynical opportunists and naive, single-issue voters.

God bless America, and God bless you, Jim, for all you have done and all you're trying to do for the ultimate good of our country. Together --- WE will accomplish much and wake up more and more Sheeple/FROGS in the process!

EAGLES UP! For FREEDOM, the CONSTITUTION and THE RULE OF LAW that undergirds it!!!!

BTTT!!

Am I an anti-Freeper then, too?

I have no idea. What does Arator think?

[malakhi]

funny that was just what the writer said when they put this up at LP! Hummm

Yes, what is your point? Go over to the Chronicles magazine site and take a look yourself. If you click on "Latest Issue", you'll see that it is for November 2002. The Sean Scallon column for this issue is entitled "Letter From Canada: A Pocket Full of Sovereigns". For October 2002 it is "Letter From Minnesota: Holding Onto a Culture". For August 2002 it is "Letter From the Upper Midwest: Micro-Farming". Obviously none of these is the article posted above. Since LP hasn't been around very long, this must be a recent article. So the only logical conclusion is that it must be from the December issue.

I see. Even though it was a letter in the Correspondence section it wasn't just a letter, it was a special letter. The original poster called it an article.

The author of this piece is a regular columnist for that magazine. I looked over their web archive and he has articles published in almost every issue this year.

Would you 'blow the whistle'?

Yes I would .. and I would also make sure I covered me butt before doing so ..

I also have to question the reason she is sueing Paul O'Neil and not the Airport that she worked for in 1999 ..

Some how I get the feeling there is more to that story then what was reported in that article

[Matchett-PI]

"Well Said sir! Republican landslide 2002"

See #201

[Red Jones]

Chronicles is great!! Criticism of FR is accurate IMHO. But FR is still a great site.

[Mo1]

I noticed .. I guess someone forget to mention that bit of info to him

[TLBSHOW]

You JUST might be the writer of this trash story! Your both from the same state!!

Then again I could be wrong! LOL

[Mo1]

What .. you haven't heard about that ..LOL

[Roscoe]

I looked over their web archive and he has articles published in almost every issue this year.

He's had several letters published.

From the article:

some of the postings on the site came from...antisemitic websites...

the diversity of thought on Freerepublic has been reduced to the musings of neoconservatives, Zionists...

So in other words, folks, we appear to be posting on an antisemitic, Zionist website. Um...yeah, okay...

Is there a single whisper of "antisemitism," now that the Left is taking the part of the most virulent Jew-haters since Hitler--the islamofascists? Nope. Oh, but those of us who are outraged by said muslims' murderous threats to Jews are "Zionists?" Ok...I see.............? But I thought the Left routinely branded all non-leftists as "antisemitic?"

Gosh, this is confusing. I'm not sure anymore just WHY they hate me...

If you'll read the whole thread, you'll see several thoughts on her strategy of going after Paul O'Neil, personally. He has to use his own money and not the U.S. Taxpayer's for one.

The whole point is there's no way to cover your butt in some agencies. The TSA is one and Customs is evidently another.

[Roscoe]

What .. you haven't heard about that ..LOL

Afraid not. I've known about Kotmair for years, but I didn't realize that LP was part of his scams.

[riley1992]

I've never spoken to him so I have no clue what he thinks. My point is, not everyone at that site is what you lovingly term an anti-freeper.

[TLBSHOW]

bTTT...

[Fred Mertz]

Ignore Roscoe, he's a maroooon.

[Mo1]

Why is it so horrible to like this president and want to put the democrats out of power? Is it because their biggest joy is in trying to intimidate Bush supporters?

That and because their guy lost ...

[TLBSHOW]

DO THEY PAY WELL TO WRITE TRASH?

[Roscoe]

My point is, not everyone at that site is what you lovingly term an anti-freeper.

I never said everybody was. The worst ones all seem to hang out there though.
