VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

BW - I know I'm asking too much - but might I get paid to fend off your physical advances? Science costs money, after all.

You're not getting paid, but you're already part of an experiment. You don't know it, but you're dreaming right now.

Toddbot's fingers must be dripping blood w/all the cutting and pasting he's got to do to keep up w/this thread. LOL

....bleeding...but good.

[Mr. Silverback]

Hey guess what? I'm not a complete idiot and I just caught on to the "scam." DUUUUUHHHHHHH...[drools onto keyboard]

All the stuff I said in the post still stands, but I feel like a first-class knob.

[Senator Pardek]

...but you're already part of an experiment.

LOL - you have no idea what's going on behind the scenes, woman.

[Alamo-Girl]

LOLOL! It was suggested in jest but I suspect that it would be quite a money raiser if a group of people agreed that whoever's name got the winning bid would willingly leave Free Republic for x amount of time.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Okay, I'm satisfied that you're not a mod. ; )

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I won't argue with that, Pardek.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I do know this. Even in the bye week, the Lions will lose.

ROTFL

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so much for agreeing with us to "stand down" in the face of confrontations! Many hugs!!!

[Senator Pardek]

I won't argue with that, Pardek.

LOL - smart girl.

[Senator Pardek]

You three need to get a room.

Huh?

[Mr. Silverback]

Why, have unusual charges showed up on your card? Do you know how to do a stop payment or report a stolen card?

Conservable (opening credit card bill): Hey, what the heck is this? I don't remember donating $10,000 to Liberty Post!

Just kidding.

[Alamo-Girl]

LOLOLOL! Thanks for your reply!

[AndrewC]

I do know who said it,

Then you should know that what a person says about him/herself is not what counts.

Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

[txhurl]

My first bid is Laz under my driveshaft at 98mph for 100.00 to FR.

What can you do?

[Texasforever]

Toddbot's fingers

Only one.

Mr Silverbackable

No, I have never had any problems with my credit card. I just wanted to be assured by Jim that it was a different and more security oriented system in this fundraiser.

[Mr. Silverback]

Is it just me or does "taglinus freerepublicus" sound kind of dirty....

It's you, though it does always remind me of "Incontinentia Buttocks" from Life of Brian.

Also reminds me aof a species name or two from my wife's microbiology course last semester.
