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.
Hardly. As far as I can tell it was more like a good man who was extremely devoted to FR who has a policy and personality conflict with 2 moderators he believed over the top. That's all. He is dismayed by his perception of the direction of FR as I once was about the leadership of the real world FR activities.
As a real world friend, I believe Badjoe's intentions are beyond reproach. However, at this point, I wish that he would drop it (and have asked him so).
Hey, that guy looks familiar. I seen him on the TV here in Cah-lee-fo-neeaah yesterday! Had a haircut and was dressed a little nicer. :-D
I do and a lot of people miss you there!
It seems that Conservatism and Conservatives are being attackd everywhere so be it !
If your Pi^^ing someone off you must be doing something right!
I dont think God will punish you but "Jad Boe" might wanna blow the dust off his bible.....
Well, that just goes to show you that when you graduate from college it still doesn't mean you have any sense.
HEY BADJOE:
He won't.
LOL....it sounds like you should be on the team.
(Note to self.... better shut up, these things come back to haunt)
No direct connection between the two organizations that I know of.
I was only using it to illustrate the type of "spin" that VDARE apologists use to promote their trash. JimRob doesn't want VDARE's trash on his website, and I agree with him.
I know WIMom. That's the one reason I could never be a mod. I don't have the temperament for it. And I do sometimes hit the AR button before thinking about it. (Apologies to the AM's for that).
