Am I to Understand?

Free Republic and Liberty Post.org

To all:

I would hope your appearances and posting on these pages states your desire to undo years of liberal policies in this land I hope we all dearly love. I would hope that a hundred successful LibertyPost.org and FreeRepublics would advance the cause we all hold near and dear.

From what I have read here it seems many are more interested in fighting each other than they are in advancing the cause of individual liberty and limited constitution government as envisioned by our forefathers.

If my second paragraph is the truth, shame on you.

Let us stop the petty bickering about crap that doesn't amount to a hill of blue beans and get on with the job at hand.

[Rebelbase]

Can't we all just get along? again and again and again.......

[Sir Gawain]

Stalker! How did you find me here?????!!!!!

[Rebelbase]

LOL!

[Sir Gawain]

That's two (2) replies in one (1) thread. I'm hitting abuse.

[Rebelbase]

In the midst of all this fighting, I think all FReepers should visit the Hobbit Hole for an example of a peaceful cyber society where there is no kicking, biting, scratching, eye poking, hair pulling, etc.

[Sir Gawain]

Hobbit schmobbit. I bash it with my axe.

[HairOfTheDog]

Thank you Rebelbase! - We are rather peaceful and cheery there! All who tire of kicking and biting would be welcome to visit, share some pints and good talk among friends!

[HairOfTheDog]

Sir Gawain... There are many there who would use their axes to defend rather than to bash!

[Eaker]

Perhaps we can ask that the Moderators wear the little beanies with a propeller?

How can anyone get mad at someone wearing a propeller beanie??

;>)

[Sir Gawain]

Well, if hobbits in my party almost get me killed every five minutes along the journey, they get bashed with my axe. And then I loot them.

[Jim Robinson]

Not a bad idea. We already wear tinfoil hats and metalized flamesuits. Can't have too much protection.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, we would welcome friendly types... but we are not fond of kicking and gnashing of teeth... You can stay here if if that is what you enjoy!

[kcpopps]

Add another slight to you then.

I had exactly the same thoughts as Sir Gawain expressed last night when I read this thread, but unlike you, I can at least try to restrain myself from starting unnecessary juvenile arguments (something you specialize in). You love to call the rest of your gang into a thread to circle the kid with glasses and beat them up. Although your gang usually does cause quite a flame out, you simply show what arses you are.

I do a lot more reading than posting. I see your petty, name calling provocations all the time, as does everyone else. Unfortunately, you think your s*it doesn't stink. Well it does. Grow up.

Anybody else you want to give a busybody tattletale ping to?

[Gore_ War_ Vet]

Welcome back Jim! You don't surrender to win.

I don't care what party gets the credit for advancing YOUR Mission Statment

Thank you!

[Gore_ War_ Vet]

Do you think it is proper to penalize people for being a member of both forums? Several people there have registered under names different than they use at FR for the very reason that they would be penalized here for being registered and posting there.

From what I saw over there, there are "GOOD" FReepers violating the guidelines of BOTH forums. I don't think that should be tolerated here, or taken advantage of there.

dirtboy:
So I think things will settle out, until JimRob once again has to make a decision about the direction of FR that in turn will make some folks mad. So be it. - 66

I think he just did make a big decision on 'direction'. [see #63]
- And the silence from some quarters is telling.

Here's another old statement from JR:

"There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that authorizes the federal government to wage war against the citizens of the United States, no matter how well-meaning the intent. The Bill of Rights means just as much today, as it did on the day it was written. And its protections are just as valid and just as important to freedom today, as they were to our Founders two hundred years ago. The danger of the drug war is that it erodes away those rights. Once the fourth amendment is meaningless, it's just that much easier to erode away the first and then the second, etc. Soon we'll have no rights at all. "
Jim Robinson, 5/9/01

dude I am glad you count threads. Did you see how many I have for liberal commies?

Don't ever call me a stalker again you rude person.

So your real problem is what? Are you just another Coulter basher? How does your family pay the bills, does your wife work? Who makes the coffee? These are questions the world wants answered right?

What we really need is for the gop to get the guts to really fight the rats. Stop being a fool!

[RnMomof7]

It may seem that way..but we are not robots..(that is the democrat style:)

[Kevin Curry]

But I've found consistently that certain posters start up on threads such as pedophilia and bestiality and blame Libt.'s out of nowhere.

Many conservatives who have carefully thought the matter through and judged it against everyday experience have come to the conclusion that libertarian ideology, if consistently followed, must neccessarily tolerate such perversions to the extent that "consent" serves as the polestar moral justification, because "consent" is such a slippery word.

Libertarians may vigorously oppose such perversions and find them personally repugnant beyond belief. But in the next breath they hasten to add with an odd self-righteous sniff and smug wink, "But what a person does in the privacy of his (home)(pigsty) (morgue) is none of my business."

The proponents of these perversions capitalize on this goofy, brainless "see no evil" tolerence and make these perversions the basis of highly visible civil rights movements that guarantee that none of these things stays private but is served up in the popular culture and media 24/7.

In the end, the libertarian "see no evil" tolerence merely guarantees that the pukingly private is made outrageously public. We get more and more of whatever deviant behavior we tolerate.

Libertarians hate to have this pointed out. They accuse libertarian critics of "lying" when such commonsensical observations are made. In the libertarian view, this amounts to an vicious attack in violation of forum rules.

I think you missed the point of my statement.
