I solve this problem by using the password “Alzheimers” everywhere.
OK, you are illustrating the original poster’s point, in making a disparaging remark about principled conservative posters. I read a number of threads here, and I find it is the compromisers who start throwing insults and claiming that we support the enemy if we don’t immediately support R crap sandwiches. Those of us who are “purists” (read: we believe in the Constitution) believe that the people that we support should simply obey their oath of office. It is the compromisers (the beta males) who are responsible for the slouching into Gomorrah. How else can we explain our side continuing to send our children into the Bernie academies, aka government schools, when the aggregate product is so bad?
And by the way, I support Trump, despite being a Rand supporter, despite some of his cringeworthy comments and personal foibles. And I am very thankful for this forum.
This.
There have been several purges over the last decade. Now we’re lucky to see fifty threads in a day instead of an hour or two.
A Bircher Poster is one that even if not a member of the John Birch Society would agree with most of the ideology, which in itself isn’t that bad. Birchers are mostly what I would call Old Right or Paleo-Conservatives. Supporters of Pat Buchanan are an example.
I see plenty of Buchanan type posters.
This is a private forum, but I am not a fan of purges. I have no problem with conservative or libertarian critique of our candidates (we can all learn from each other).
Actually my brother agrees with you.
There are some people here with absolutely terrible attitudes and emotional decision-making, who immediately resort to hard-left tactics when challenged on any assertion.
I’ve had the race card pulled on me at least three times in the past three days, and in none of those cases was there any attempt to persuade by reason, just a simple demand to accept a proposition without argument.
Being very pattern-sensitive, I have long been aware that the breed that signed on during the Iraq War era lacks the character and intelligence of those who were here before.
No.
That bunch of looney-toon whackos is incomparable on any level as far as being absolutely bat-guano bonkers idiots.
We've got a few nuts running around loose here, but that bunch has the whole damned orchard and they keep on planting the trees.
Gee Rocky. You must not have been on the name calling horrible anti Trump Pro cruz.Threads. My faith was not only challenged but I was sent to hell more times than you can count. And not once have an apology been offered by any of the Cruz crew.
I am new to FR, however my father joined in the 90’s. While I ignored politics until Obama, I gravitated to FR during the 2016 campaign. I could not handle the fake news anymore and the idiotic pundits. I cannot comment as to the changes in attitude on FR but would like to point out that many claiming to be ‘conservative’ preferred Hillary to Trump based on moral principle such as National Review, the Bushes, GOPe, and others (globalists). I am not insinuating that FReepers are not conservative. I’m merely pointing out that Trump has exposed many people and institutions directly or indirectly. Until voters realize that politicians are not conservative, DC will not change. The majority need to be primaried.

And yet, here we both are.
Yup
I should note I use to be very pro open borders and “free” trade back in 2000.
Agreed - I prefer to see more temporary posting limits for a few days than outright bans (in most cases) but above my pay grade =)
“You have an interesting take on things. I stopped frequenting FreeRepublic during the time leading up to the primary election because the pro-Trump crowd was absolutely brutal to anyone supporting any other candidate.”
Totally true. It hurt Trump.
I’ve now seen some if those turn against Trump.
There are a lot of disruptors.
The John Birch Society
Our Mission
To bring about less government, more responsibility, and — with God’s help — a better world by providing leadership, education, and organized volunteer action in accordance with moral and constitutional principles.
That’s The John Birch Society. Since 1958.
Who We Are
We are concerned Americans from many races, religious beliefs, and national origins. Since 1958 we have been men and women of good character, humane conscience, and religious ideals who have worked together to safeguard the Constitution.
We believe in the foundation our forefathers built and are dedicated to restoring it. With strong leadership, we work at local, state, and federal levels to educate others on the proper role of government. We stand tall in protecting American independence for future generations.
World View
A solution is only as good as your understanding of the problem. In his research, Robert Welch identified the foreign and domestic enemies that had organized and were waging war on the very foundation of America. His solution was to expose their globalist plans and work toward reining in an out-of-control federal government that these forces were using to satisfy their own agenda.
Sound familiar? It should. History only repeats itself because the same forces use the same strategies over and over again. Educating yourself and others on these strategies is key to understanding how we stop their anti-American agenda and preserve liberty for today and tomorrow.
Only because Jim let us start an Trump Train Tread away from the attacks. Which was mocked as being our “safe space”. Some there still will not come out and comment on other threads.
THe rest of FR misses a great deal of wisdom from them. OTOH. We have become extremely close and pass the time of day together with trivial topics when no news is being posted. Again we are rediculed We supporting, loving elders of this community.
