Crossed a Line.
What is going on here?
I support the right of anyone to get vaccinated or not. I support free speech and free thought. However...
Though I was not looking, in less than one day I have seen THREE posts by non-noob Freepers who are fully supporting Orwellian Australian tactics, and/or gleefully wishing death on those Freepers who have chosen to wait on the vaccine or chosen therapeutics, etc.
If this was twitter, I would not be so distressed and surprised. But this is Free Republic where the main page Front center headline is:
Welcome to Free Republic! Conservatives for God, Family, Country! Est. 1996
Do these posts really represent Free republic? God, Family, Country?
Are there no lines that Freepers should not cross??
At the very least, these people should be called out.
i did, got it.
The early days were all about the Bill Clinton scandals.
I remember someone got a glimpse of a secret WH memo that listed all the scandals the Clinton WH was “handling” with their crisis management team.
There were over a hundred scandals listed!
We had only heard of twenty or so, and realized we had a lot of work ahead of us....
;-)
>>> He’s gone ... really?
Thats what I heard... no confirmation.
So.. you got THAT as an example?
A name? No posts? No arguments? Nothing?
OK, we’ll just put you down as an emotional kook with nothing to back up your assertions.
Have a great day, Kooky.
It’s probably just more beneficial to go to the gun range and practice than post here.
“...apparently can’t fix nasty.”
You can... but the means depends on proximity.
Mano a mano, an old-fashioned knuckle sandwich with extra sauce was curative. OFTEN works to reboot some bullyish person’s worldview. I’ve seen nasty people be all apologetic and collegial afterward; like the impact knocked a computer virus outta their brain.
At great distances...
I particularly liked Reagan’s finesse with former Libyan nasty man, Muammar Gaddafi; that cruise missile in his living room clapped his trap for good.
Point being: distance changes the means, but where there’s a will, there’s a way.
And you were not wishing ill...Again, I just find it disturbing that people seem to be on same page as China or Australia...Australia...So sad...
I get we can/will have disagreement...I have had issues (for example in 2015 when this was Cruz Country and I was pro-Trump)...but I don’t think I have ever supported tyranny or said I would laugh at a unvaccinated person “croaking”, etc...
When people post crap like that, they need to be called out...on the threads...at the time.
And I hear lots of crickets...Did not see a lot of flames...So guess I was only one who found what they said objectionable? OK...
Together we stand, divided we fall...Vaxxed and unvaxxed...What a concept. The powers that be want us divided.
You probably are right in the short run...
But big picture if we are wishing death on those we disagre with here, we have a big problem going forward.
Maybe it is just me...But hey I care about the country...I have grandkids—and kids...
It’s what you asked for.
You can do your own research. I don’t have time for you.
ANYONE can research 2A as an influencer or YOUR posting history as a FLAMER.
They can form their own opinions as I HAVE.
Well, your research skills are lacking.
That account says banned/suspended.
“Well, your research skills are lacking.”
I don’t waste a lot of time looking for the obscure or non-existent.
You're the one making claims, Skippy.
And refusing to back them up.
See, the way it works... you can make claims and then it's on YOU to back 'em up.
You don't get to make claims and then cry "do your own research".
So far you're just a whiney little crybaby, sniffling over stuff that hurt your feelings.
Not a great look there, Chumley.
>>> That account says banned/suspended.
Confirmed then!
You should know by now that not everyone here are freepers. There are liberal trolls and disruptors by the busload.
I was on the thread...2A ZOTTED by the boss. Long overdue.
Thank you!
“There are plenty of single-minded knuckleheads...”
Yup.
And its not the single-mindedness that’s the problem. What’s...new? I guess?
I’ve not seen this many people, before, BECOME so single-minded, so quickly, AND take that single-mindedness as impetus to dig a foxhole, emplace machine guns, and blaze away at anyone who’s not yet decided that their particular foxhole is tha best one to leap into.
Shoot first, then hammer your enemy with the righteousness of your view as you stand over their dying body. It’s a surreal, all against all, sociopolitical Armageddon.
Go f yourself. From an anti-vax asshole
There are PR firms who have agents that pretend to be “concerned citizens” cruising the net all the time. They look for vax discussions or whatever subject they are paid to attack.
And there are just plain garden variety @$$holes who enjoy creating havoc just for the fun of it.
