Dear Mr. Robinson,
I have been a loyal member of the Free Republic since before the 2000 election. I have been a Conservative since the early days of Clinton. When I found this site, I thought "Thank God, people who think like me." I have continued to think this until the more recent days. Now, it seems that there are threads left and right bashing our President.
Why? There are things the President has done which I don't agree with but my loyality still lies with him. I am not sure if these "Bush-Bashers" fail to see the reality that with politics comes comprimise or it is something worse. I feel there is a cancer in the Free Republic. Some are eating their own.
I feel that some of these people are members of the dreaded democratic underground disguised as disgruntled conservatives. They are only here to stir up trouble. What's worse, they are doing just that. I am not sure what I think you should do.
As a conservative, I believe in our moral code but I also realize the reality of politics. I back our President but if he were doing something unsavory (like lying under oath,) I could not support him. This is unlike the left's clintonista dogma. What President Bush is doing is not betraying the conservative cause. He is using politics to confound the left. Those who do not understand this are either leftists themself or unable to separate themselves from their zealousness.
This is your show. You choose who gets to be a member and who does not. Those who break your rules are banished from the kingdom. I am not discouraging free speech, but this is free speech in your forum. These Bush-Bashers are brining us down. When this infighting happened in 1992, Bill Clinton got elected. let's not let that happen again.
Yours,
Big Guy and Rusty 99
Just because we're FReepers doesnt mean we're rubber stamps for GW.
I honestly havent seen any GW bashing per se...
I have seen a little whining but whatever...it is an opinion board.
Sheesh. More entitlements at Jim's expense? Anyone is free to build their own server if they want to. Where does the 1st Amendment state that everyone should be allowed to enter Jim's living room to rant against things he holds dear?
He's still better than his dad. I'll give him that much.
These "bush bashers" are trying to hold Bush's feet to the fire and trying to keep him sticking to conservative principles.
When this infighting happened in 1992, Bill Clinton got elected
Bill Clinton got elected because Bush, Sr. move away from the conservative base, sold out the Reagan legacy, tried to out liberal the Democrats on occasion, while Bill Clinton ran to the right of him. Not because of any criticism from members of his own party.
I support Bush more than I disagree with him, but some of the thing he has done seem stupid to me.
What about three names?
Whaddya think about that idea?
I dunno, some are pretty easy on the eyes.
Or Lewser.com or antipanties.com or any other liberal mouthpiece.
I'm only the treasurer of a Pro-2a PAC....
Yeah youse guys are just to damned brilliant for us. Yep we cringe in awe at your insight, political instincts and constructive< criticisms. I, for one, have been silenced many times by the rational, good natured and comity filled posts from you and the other political sages that when asked to vote on viable conservatives to replace "liberal George" the run away winner was "let the democrats have it" then the revolution will come sooner. Yes sir with a mindset like that, we just can't lose. ROTHFLMAO
BTW - I see red flags coming from both directions.
How about banning goats? Oh yea that's banding goats. Nevermind :>}
