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.

I don't believe this is all about Registered. After reading BADJOE's comments, I'm anxious to see what JimRob has in mind. Changes needed for quite some time now.

Best to avoid making personal information known; but then, most of us don't care about anyone's personal life. No doubt there are a few wealthy, maybe even celebrities, very important people, well-connected people--they just don't see any need to divulge the information. I missed it all.

No, Larry, I don't "judge" people only by how much money they contribute to FRee Republic -- I judge them by how much they of their time, talents or treasure they contribute to the growth of the FRee Republic and the conservative cause -- and the manner in which they conduct themselves on this forum and at the events we go to.

Hang in there, bud. We can do this. But we will need your help.

With all the blame game and victimhood here, I thought I may have wandered into a Democrat strategy meeting.

ROTFL!

[FatherTorque]

I would love to hear the justification from those such as yourself that tell other people to "give it a rest" with a fist to the gut.

What nerve !!!!!!!! Can you say "HYPOCRITE"?

I find it a tad gauche that on a thread where JR and BJ are mending fences that people would be still trying to stir the pot.  I'm quite familiar with OPH and I expect better from him.  You I don't know from Adam and from your conduct on this thread I can see that this was a blessing in disguise.

[Taxman]

We have not been looking for love in all the wrong places, have we?

[WRhine]

Great Post Laz. Couldn't agree more.

[Lazamataz]

You've always been a Bushbot who is fair and not vicious. I never felt you were a part of this problem. In fact, when I raise a concern about yet another constitutional abrogation, I expect you will endeavor to correct the constitutional problem, not blindly defend Bush at all costs.

You are wunna da goodwuns.

[Miss Marple]

I never speak for FR. I only welcome people because it is the polite thing to do. Get a grip.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

If you're here for comic relief, don't quit your day job.

[terilyn]

Perhaps you missed post #1. I would guess that the intent to stir the pot was started much earlier than the post you responded to.

Stir hell, it boiled over long ago.

[tomkat]

absolute (granted 'twas also unsolicited) agreement ...

VA Advogado:
The other new rule is when we go FR camping, you have to share a tent with Tpaine :)

No offense OPH, but maybe you can get her to start posting for you then.

You should make a living as a professional comedian. LOL!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

You are a true gentleman. I wish it were contageous...

I will second this post.

Other carriers of the disease are oldvike, MadIvan, and one_particular_harbour. CWOJackson has it, too, I think. And there are a few more. A Navy Vet is another who comes to mind, and RedBloodedAmerican is a loyal individual who is not afraid to stand up for his friends. I am reminded of LarryLied, as well.

Courageous gentlemen, all. And I know I could name a few more.

Texasforever, I do appreciate you, and I appreciate your support for me on this thread. Thank you very much. It means a lot.

And Mo1, thank you as well.

Well some people on FR know this ..... and many don't
But
Er
Well, your a newly married guy and .... well ..... um


I'm a guy Laz. (I know the name is funny for a guy ..... but ... well it's a long story)

[TLBSHOW]

so you see sometimes you have to do what you have to do to protect yourself.

[Texasforever]

No problem.

[Mo1]

Does the mean I stay on the wagon and away from the cold meds :^)

[Fred Mertz]

You forgot me.

[CWOJackson]

Thanks lady.
