Some piece of garbage story that one is! More like a friend of yours wrote it. Correct?

No, not correct. That would be what you want to believe.

[Texas_Jarhead]

your account was disabled? why (if I might ask)?

[Roscoe]

It looks like an article to me.

Was it a letter to the editor in the correspondence section?

Show some honesty.

[TLBSHOW]

Wait till you see his source! LOL

[Marine Inspector]

So I take it that you agree with the article and are planting the grain of sand hoping to reap a pearl?

Yes I agree with it and I'm sure many people on this site do also.

[Texas_Jarhead]

The only part of the article that I have a problem with is the demigod / prayers comment. No one prays to Bush. That is a blatant lie. Obviously the writer isn't a Christian or he would understand that Christians commonly prayer for others and themselves.

Looks like Sean never has anything published in Chronicles Magazine except letters to the editor.

There are at least 6 threads running on FR that are accusing Bush and the GOP of instituting a police state, transferring the entire population of Mexico to the United States, 3 threads advertising the newest libertarian brain storm called the free state project plus the usual 4 threads extolling the virtues of legalized drugs, not to mention the daily dose of populist postings of American jobs being lost due to the "NWO". There are 5 anti-Homeland Security threads in the mix with one genteelly entitled “Welcome to the American Gestapo”. Now tell me again about FreeRepublic being a "GOP" board?

[Marine Inspector]

Show some honesty.

I've never shown anything but honesty.

I have a copy of the article, not the entire magazine.

It appears to be an article, as it does not start with "Dear editor".

[Roscoe]

I don't believe this is an article, it's a letter in the correspondence section. Marine Inspector is trying to pull a fast one.

[Roscoe]

I have a copy of the article, not the entire magazine.

How convenient.

A dupe and a useful idiot, rather than a deliberate fraud.

[Sabertooth]

Jim hasn't / doesn't go FAR enough, in banning and zapping tinfoil hat / lunatic threads.

Or the caps lock key, or indecisive / noncommittal wordplay.

[TLBSHOW]

Then it gets even better. LOL

[Texasforever]

Ya know I can't find one active pro-Bush thread going tonight other than the usual DITLO type posts.

[Jim Robinson]

Well, let's see. We kicked out the anti-Semites, the racists, the bigots, the tin-foil hat conspiracy nuts, the America did it crowd, the cowardly anti-war America haters, the America got what she deserves crowd, the DU disruptors, the perverts, the religion bashers, the Bush is a Nazi crowd, the Bush did it crowd, the it's all about oil crowd, the I'd rather support Clintonites crowd, the foul mouthed bashers, the smash mouth bashers, the just can't seem to get along with anyone crowd, the I hate everyone crowd, the naysayers, the doom and gloom sky is falling crowd, the woe is me we're all doomed crowd, etc, etc, etc.

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.

Now, I don't know if we went far enough in all cases, but I feel we did a pretty damned good job, and I believe we will continue doing a pretty damned good job.

Congratulations to all who made this historical event possible!

And for those of you who feel the people who got kicked off FR can do a better job, well, you are always free to go to the libertypost or libertyforum websites mentioned above and join the America hating rabble.

Thank you all very much and long live our Free Republic!

God bless America!

Dear Brigade,
In today's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel - 9/20, Master Lock Company announced it would move 700 jobs to Nogales, Mexico. The globalist traitors are continuing the destruction of our economy and only one man can stop it and he can't do it in party that's surrendered itself to the globalists. Pat's decision to bolt to the Reform Party is a no brainer!
-- Sean Scallon - East Ellsworth, WI

He's a character.

[Marine Inspector]

From your link, he appears to be a regular contributor to the magazine.

On the other hand maybe he rights a letter to the editor every month.

The fact is, the article/letter (which ever you want to call it) is pretty accurate.

[Texasforever]

I've never shown anything but honesty.

Why did you post the "article"? Be honest.

[Roscoe]

Accurate? Like his claim that Free State Project articles are banned?
