Well, it's been 4 years since I first found Free Republic. I have always felt like I belonged here and have really enjoyed the banter back and forth between us members. I am afraid all this is now over. I am really suprised and shocked at it's suddenness. Before I leave I want to thank a freeper from Michigan who sent me a DVD player last year to give to my kids for Christmas. You reaffirmed my faith in humanity.
I know this thread will be deleted before many people get to read it, but I just can't go without saying a final word. Every since 911 the 'vibe' here at FR has been decidedly hostile. I guess it was a matter of time before the newbie moderator got around to weeding me out for my sometimes unpopular views. So I join the ranks of A+Bert and so many others who gave FR a interesting flavor. I will miss coming here 20 times a day and keeping up on things. But without posting priviledges there is just no point. I must go find another conservative group to try to be a part of.
In the future, when a freeper who has been a loyal member since August 1998 crosses the line, how about a note instead of banning? Would that have been too much? I may have gotten out of line, how is beyond me, but if such a tresspass would have been pointed out I would gladly have refrained from doing so again. It is just not right to just ban an account with no explaination. Especially when the freeper has been here 4 years. I have no idea what I am going to do with my days now that I no longer have FR. Well, I guess I have said my part. It is a sad day when one has to leave family and friends. I feel like some of you were just that. But apparently I am no longer wanted around here. I bid my good day to you all and hope that karma pays it's respects to those who do injustice.
I see no way to save a nation that has bought into the social and corporate welfare state like we have. It's going to self destruct, but it's going to destroy what productive members it has trying to maintain itself.
With vast immigration, and the little understanding our citizens have of the founders intentions, I'm not sure we will like what emerges on the other side.
It's you that need to get over yourself!
I do see huge changes here, and not for the better! I see those that work to destroy the site from within, and pray that JimRob and his crew are able to keep them from victory.
However, I now visit many other places; the web has grown, and is quite an interesting place! I do lurk here and participate from time to time, but it is just too much of a free for all, for my tastes. I do enjoy it much more where a few simple rules of decorum and good manners are reinforced.
All I have to do is just speak what I really feel about things and I get kicked out. I don't even need to speak against the forum (which I have done) in order to end up speaking against the forum. How does that work exactly? How do I mysteriously end up with so many enemies out of the blue just from speaking? How exactly does that work?
So just kick me out again -- I'd curse in this space, but everyone can curse but me -- and get it over with. I'm so used to getting everything I say removed from this forum that I expect it now, no matter what I say if it's MY opinion. This place is a fraud, a fake, a ruse. The worst that could happen is someone real talking with this "paranoid nut" for any length of time AND the conversation remaining to be read.
BTW, I knew you'd meet "your goal" yet again.
Go ahead. Let this post stay, and let me stay and argue my case. I dare you, coward.
tick, tick, tick
It works like this. You posted, in your own words, what you really feel about things. You believe that women are inferior to you and you believe blacks are inferior to you and you feel that hispanics are inferior to you.
Free Republic is a site by and for liberty loving conservatives. Racists and bigots are not welcome here. If one is a racist or a bigot, then that person is truly an enemy of conservatism, since conservatism is about liberty and about equality of opportunity for all citizens of the United States, and since that person represents what the left uses to drive people away from conservatism. As such, racists and bigots are direct enemies of conservative minorities and women, and indirect enemies of conservative white men.
That is how you ended up with so many enemies, just by speaking. You can still speak and believe whatever you want. You just can't do it here.
So what? I can think of 4 or 5 pretty big things you and he agree on,too. It means nothing unless you look at the core beliefs.Actually, I am not convinced there are 4 or 5 pretty big things that he and I agree on. About the only one I have ever seen is that he is against racism. However, I am not convinced he actually is against racism. Just about every single other thing I have looked at from the guy has been the exact opposite of what I believe.
But the statement that one has to look at core beliefs has a smidge of truth about it. Core beliefs come out in what someone shows a passion for. Your posts show a passion for denigrating Bush (he agrees), that he is a globalist sell out (he agrees), that our civil liberties are being stripped left and right (he says he agrees, but I suspect he is just being a demagogue, something I doubt about you). I didn't even mention it, but he has a woody for Christians too, just like you. He's not too fond of Israel either. Based on what you spend most of your time posting about, you are in lockstep with him. You cannot say the same thing about me. The things I believe in and advocate for never agree with his stances.
Then perhaps you should knock off the propagandist-sounding Nazi references. You are misrepresenting yourself and coming across sounding like a leftist dupe.You both believe that Ashcroft is a Nazi,No,I think he is a gutless punk who has never met a character trait he wasn't ready to flush down the toilet if his party masters requested it.
OK, so you agree with him even more than I was giving credit for.you both believe that Bush is a sellout to the globalists,Wrong again. Bubba-2 IS a globalist. So is his daddy.
This is only a secret to their cult followers. BTW,so is Ramsey Clark,so you,he,and Bubba-2 are a threesome on this.LOL You've got it all figured out, Eisenhower. Clark and I are tight as a drum. And all of Clark's railing at Bush, it is just a clever smokescreen. You see, Clark and Bush are the same, and they show this by having diametrically opposed views on most things, while you are Clark's opposite, which you show by having most of the things you type on a conservative website match things that Clark pushes.
Connected, yes, I believe so, as would any rational person. Owned? That is where you and Ramsey part company with me.you both believe Bush is owned by corporate interests such as big oil,Now why would anyone suspect the Bush family is connected to corporate interests and oil,big or otherwise?
No Pete, not at all. And while I won't go so far as to say the opposite is true, that you have to be delusional to think they are the same, I will say that it sure seems to help.and you both think there is no difference between the Republican and Democrat parties.They are now the same party,and you have to be delusional to believe otherwise.
Here is where you REALLY start to go wrong. You don't think. You are incapable of independent thought. You follow party doctrine.Actually, I do think. I think quite a lot, about a lot of things. I have put together that you are a blowhard, who angrily spouts leftist propaganda and then acts self-righteous when someone points out that you have made your online persona indistinguishable from a leftist of late. I would think that a veteran like yourself might be a little bit more concerned with the fact that you have become just like those you claim to opppose, but I guess not. Thank you for your military service, but stop aiding those who would have and probably did spit on you for your service.
IF that were true,it would only mean that Ramsey Clark has seen the error of his ways,and is now a conservative. Which means he would be to the right of YOU.Except for one thing. Ramsey isn't a communist, and as I posted earlier, the Communist Party USA is echoing much of what he is saying. And, as such, echoing much of what you are saying.
Feel free to pick up the mantra that the Communists have seen the error of their ways, and are now to the right of people like me. Encourage people to vote them instead of Republocrats. You might as well, you are doing their work anyway.
Just can't stop thinking about analities, can you roseco? -- Weird, infantile obsession.
And all of Clark's railing at Bush, it is just a clever smokescreen.Oh wait, this can't be, because it would imply that all the railing I do at Clark is also a clever smokescreen, but that can't be since Sneakypete asserted that I am an idiot incapable of thought.
As I said earlier, this thread has been a trip down the rabbit hole.
It works like this. You posted, in your own words, what you really feel about things. You believe that women are inferior to you and you believe blacks are inferior to you and you feel that hispanics are inferior to you.
You bring up the posts and prove that you are telling the truth when I say you are a liar right here and now. This is about me busting your fraud in 1997, and you covering it up as best as you can. I'm not a racist, and you know it.
It's your move again. Bubba...
