What is Going on at Free Republic (Vanity)
Me | 10/16/2004 | me

Posted on 10/16/2004 8:37:38 AM PDT by ShandaLear

In the past few weeks we've been inundated with a mass of conspiracy theories, hand-wringing doom sayers, and vanity after vanity.

It's getting more and more discouraging to read here which I suppose is what a lot of these posters are attempting to accomplish.

Me too!

The libs and their judges have gotten the American gut tied up in knots for far too long!

It's time we trusted our guts again and W is going to WIN!

Tighten your seat-belt...if you were actually not in the forum in the fall of 2000.

And consider this: I suspect the volume of actual news reports and substantive
thread is not down...it's just that with a significant election cycle, the vanities
and personal reports on the election do take a big rise.

And without letting those "extras" into the forum for further analysis (to weed
out the lesser contributions)...we'd never have a chance to connect with
the thread that seems to be "too weird to be true" at first blush...but ends up
being the cutting edge of truth in reporting current events.

Here at Free Republic, we are allowed to speak freely whether we agree or disagree. I signed in at the DU Underground and made several posts trying to educate the uneducated. I was polite, and accurate. Within 2 days, my login was pulled. Talk about Nazi tactics.

To a degree that is true. But we ban liberal posters but it is usually from posting rumor, innuendos, and extreme liberal spin. These disruptive posters are not welcomed. DU does not allow anyone who doesn't spew the Democratic line. DU bans liberals if they don't back Kerry.

Obliously you weren't here for the last presidential election.

We here at the Bilderberger Institute always turn our Mind Control SatellitesTM Alien Technologies custom-built amplifiers up to 11 at this time.

So it's only natural that there are more conspiracies posted.

A man was riding his horse down a trail one day and saw a bird laying on it's back with it's legs straight up in the air.

"What are you doing," the man asked bird.

"I heard the sky was falling so I am going to try and catch it."

"Do you seriously think that you can hold up the sky with your spindly little legs,"questioned the man.

"One does what one can,"responded the bird.

Good advice.

If you click abuse add the reason: baseless attacks; no link and no credible information; trollish behavior; personal attacks. Newbie status means someone is on probation w/me until I see enough of their posts to make a decision. Check the poster's history. Do not feed trolls, just call the kitties.

If the post doesn't pass the smell test, it is from the "left WingNutz", Loonies and / or DU (Ducks Unlimited)

Politics ain't beanbag. When I'm getting too wrapped up in the election crisis du jour, I just step away from the computer and play with my kids or something. Moderation in all things... but conservatism in politics! :-)

Happens around here just before every election. The good citizens of FR are just showing their concern. Then just before election day, Kazam! Everybody forgets their jitters, goes out and does their duty by voting, and we win again.

Not much more to it than that.

So true. I wasn't posting, but I was reading. Many of those "conspiracy-theory, hand-wringing doomsayers" are no longer among us (at least not under their original name).

I was pretty up this morning, till I read your post. Now I am very discouraged after reading your hand-wringing vanity.

I think it's a conspiracy.

In fact, I may write a vanity about it.

As many have said, must be the election. I personally am finding other things to do until the madness has passed, then I expect to return to normal FReep level.
