I Am Reinstating My Previously Witheld Monthly Payment To FR

Giving priority to what is most important, I have decided to swallow my pride. I had a dustup with a moderator. I lost. Though I think the moderators need a tuneup they ain't so bad really. I depend on them to keep this site from becomming a free for all whacko hate site. I used to push the abuse button quite frequently on my fave undesirables ... anti-semite, haters. I notice they're a bit thin around here lately.

It is most important that Free Republic live and thrive. It is less important that I get things my way around here. Though I do not agree completely with the proposition that it is Jim's site and he can do with it what he damn will pleases ... It's as much our site, collectively, as it is his now. Perhaps Jim does ride herd a bit too hard on this creation he gave birth to. Fact is I don't know. I simply don't have enough information.

But it is a given that FR is the best there is at what it does. If it's only my morning paper and a place to exercise my verbal skills ... it's worth supporting. Now is the time for all level headed thinking FReepers to come to the aid of our wounded friend ... Free Republic.

Why don't you two get a room?

I posted to him one time.

Yes it is, and this is a better place now that you're back. I've had my own run ins with the race baiters, anti-semites. Keep up the good fight. Don't let them get you down. Eventually they will all be weeded out.

Afternoon delight Afternoon delight!

A general policy and Jim will annouce it.

This could be interesting. Do you think this policy change will address any of the issues I brought up with you in my longer message to you on this thread? I want this forum to return to the mission statement stated on its' home page. I want us to be recommitted to returning us to a Constitutional Republic and to standing up for and returning us to the rights enumerated (but not created by) the Bill of Rights. I want the forum to -- at least at the top level -- stop the blind fealty to a man (GW Bush) and reaffirm fealty to the ideals of Conservatism.

I've loved this place for a long time. It's only the last few months that I could not come here and post in good faith any more, because of the aggressive tactics of Bushbotism and the power vested in them by moderators and Jim alike. This place should be a forum where we debate issues with limited flaming (if possible), and certainly with no top-level allegiance to a single politician -- only allegiance to an idea: Freedom.

I await the announcement.

[BADJOE]

No.

Actually the worst thing to happen around here lately is the loss of Registered.

I was never a big fan of his. IMHO he was a bit weird. A little too obsessed with Keyes and all that. But, to each his own. Diversity is the strength of this site.

LALALALALA I CANNOT HEAR YOU!!

Does RLP start with Republican?

Yes she can waltz strela, but most threads she is attracted to fall to the ole bring up the drugs trick by the pious Republican, soon to be followed by the rest of the Pac.

[Fred Mertz]

The announcement is up now.

[strela]

And the beat goes on, dum da dum da dum ...

[tpaine]

Alright fred, you can 'dance' with him, if you insist.

Miss M you devil you. LOL

[Lazamataz]

Change isn't change, it's life.

Unquestionably. The only constant in the universe is change, and even this constant is subject to change.

We shall see what direction FR intends to go. Frankly, I am not so egotistical to think my departure will even be noticed, much less regretted. However, I have a sense I speak for more people than myself.

I posted to him one time.

I'll bet you made an impression.

Cheer up Tex, it's a good day!
