Settled values of the site - they're on the FreeRepublic home page for crying out loud. Revmom quoted them in #86. If you don't know what they are, why are you here?
Free Republic is a site dedicated to the concerns of traditional grassroots conservative activists.
We're here to discuss and advance our conservative causes in a more or less liberal-free environment.
Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government.
Free Republic advocates a return to constitutionally limited government...
Less statism. More localism. Respecting the Constitution, and its Amendment rights. Respecting those who serve. Respecting and defending Christianity. Respecting the right to life, especially for children and the unborn. Defending the USA from its enemies.
Not: advocating for abortion or gun control. Not: siding with a resurgent invasion-hungry new Russian empire whose leader is a KGB stooge who never left the Cold War, and who to this day mourns the collapse of the USSR. Not: saying that if that same Russia went to war with the USA, they'd side with Russia.
It's really not difficult.
Not sure who Gibbs is, but he needs to make his own physical threats.
Seriously?! Are you absolutely sure you're not posting from St Petersburg? Leroy Jethro Gibbs slapping heads is literally THE biggest meme out of NCIS. I bet even the ruddy Amish know that, and they don't even have TVs. Mark Harmon's Gibbs was slapping people upside the head - usually because they'd said something stupid or needed a reality check - from 2003 to 2021.
And if *you* make another threat like that to me or others, you’d better be prepared to back it up.
Dude, if you really think I can slap your head all the way from Yorkshire, England by using a fictional TV character as a proxy, then you've been drinking WAY too much of that Russian vranyo and I've got twenty original London Bridges to sell you.
Well, if you *are* a Mod, then do what you’re going to do, pal.
I really don't want to accuse you of being even more dumb than a dumbass who's as dumb as a stump, so instead I'll just suggest that maybe the English courses they're doing in St Petersburg these days are letting you down. Because that's a million miles away from what I was suggesting.
Tell you what: I'll strip out the idioms and turning it into something that grade school Americans wouldn't misinterpret, and then maybe you'll be able to translate it better.
Over the years, I've seen people get banned from here within a day of posting something that was anti-conservative, anti-American, or anti-Christian. Since you're still here and RevMom is still here, it must be obvious that neither of you have done anything worth zotting you for.
I still think the occasional head slap from Gibbs (a fictional character) is probably all this site needs to improve it. And, yes, I stand by that. Gibbs, please for the love of God slap everybody upside the head if they actually think "spam" means "stuff that nobody forced me to read, but I actively chose to read and didn't like it so I chose it again and didn't like it even more".
To quote Tucker Carlson, “Up yours, buddy.”
Of course you'd quote Tucker; he's a dyed in the wool Putinist and it won't be long before he's got his own slot on Rossyia 1 interviewing Steven Seagal, who's one million percent Russian.
Speaking of which, where's Seagal these days? Is he another one of those foreigners in Russia who got accidentally drafted and sent to the Front? Or is he enjoying the 800 million ruble bung he got to build a gym and doing the Putin puffing pro bono?
Don't get too excited, it was less than $20 million at the time. But, that's a lot of money for a gym.
LOL - you would ridicule somebody for not being up on TV memes. I have no shame for not knowing things about TV shows. I freely admit that that I watch very little TV. I’ve never seen an episode of NCIS and I don’t believe that is a detriment. You foreigners sure use strange criteria to judge people. 😂
I really don't want to accuse you of being even more dumb than a dumbass who's as dumb as a stump, so instead I'll just suggest that maybe the English courses they're doing in St Petersburg these days are letting you down. Because that's a million miles away from what I was suggesting.
I think you know deep down I have more smarts in my little finger than you do in your whole being and that’s why you say such ridiculous things.
Anyway, go find any posts of mine where I have expressed support for Putin or Russia. That ought to keep you busy for a while and keep you from bothering me.
In fact, I have a better idea. Since you insist on practicing that stupidity of calling those of us who are opposed to billions of our tax dollars going to fund a known money-laundering operation “Russians” and related garbage, don’t post to me any more.
If you can’t abide by Jim’s rules, it’s probably because he didn’t write them in Ukrainian. But that’s your problem, not mine. Here, run this through your translator:
“We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "comrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.” -Jim Robinson
And I’m going to invoke this one because you don’t meet my IQ requirement:
“Finally, if someone says STOP, then STOP! If someone asks you to take them off your ping list, then take them off! If someone asks you to stop posting to them, the adult and polite thing to do is to accommodate them.” -Jim Robinson
So stop and do not post to me anymore. Bye, now.
It really is odd that Ukraine simply existing bothers some so much. Probably best if they can have a more constructive hobby than wishing death on women and children half a world away.
