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.

I'm guessing this is all said in sarcasm on your part ?!?

[CyberCowboy777]

Tell the joke - it may have a beard and a cane but I have not yet had the pleasure of groaning as it passes by.

Post 184 lists many reasons I owe FR.How could I forget FR introduced me to wonderful military families,(another reason I owe FR).

FR allows me to read the good news of the great job our military is doing through Ragtime Cowgirl's posts.Thank you,Free Republic!

Your kind words mean more to me than you know. Thank you kindly, sir!

I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, and get pretty passionate. Mouth speaks before brain is done.

(hand extended) shake hands?

[drstevej]

Well said, Xzins. I just made my pledge to FR as well.


Free Republic has become freer in the religion forum in the past few months. So I'll kick in some shekels.

I haven't been suspended in well over a month... :-)

[Xenalyte]

I fall to my knees and humbly beg forgiveness for all my past misdeeds. God will surely punish me for my sins.

With God, all things are possible. Go forth and sin no more, my son.

(And if you do decide to sin, at least tell us about it afterward!)

[mystery-ak]

Yes, I owe a lot to Ragtime Cowgirl...she took the lead and brought us the news from Iraq...my mood matched all the doom and gloom reporting...RC has lifted my spirit every day.

[NeoCaveman]

You misspelled hugh.

Dang. That's the second time this week I've done that.

[xzins]

There's always tomorrow.......the weather forecast, ya know


Meteorology: the study of meteors and planets. Right?:>)

[MonroeDNA]

Thanks a bunch for your renewal!

Dude, I am a non-religeous libertarian (though I believe very much in God), and am freeper number 39(?). If I am welcome, you are, believe me.

I know this causes heartburn, but this site is Freedom based. I am open to arguements, and use my brain.

[xzins]

Sir, you have my support.

I've looked at the others during my self-imposed exile (to include Liberty.org) and YOU are the best.

[strela]

And if you do decide to sin, at least tell us about it afterward!

Some webmasters make some very good valuta by posting those kinds of pictures ;)
