Free Republic: Where Things Haven't Been What They Used To Be Since the Day After We Opened.True. But the line between progress and bullshit really isn't that fine of a line.
To: RCW2001
Geez. Passed FIVE hundred posts. Here's another ;).

Even crackpot Liberals and Socialists can get elected.Sometimes with libertarian help (Cantwell, Reid, . . . Bowles?).

I liked
Tomkat's graphic.
Let's label them.

It is a method of shouting down all dissent [2- denial of reality]. If you have any questions about any facet of the current state of the Bill of Rights or how much power the government is acquiring [1- hysteria], you can expect to be bum-rushed and drowned out with the number '5'.
Now, you would think these people would actually try to refute arguments presented before them, but no. No, these people (who would be very comfortable wearing brown shirts [4- name calling]) attempt to squelch all debate with this response [5- projection].

And taken all together, they attempt [3- thought control].
For months, a certain clique on Free Republic has belittled any supporter of the President, any supporter of Republicans, any supporter of a hawkish military stance. They mock, they taunt, they call names. They love to throw out Nazi comparisons, while they post what can only be described as propaganda. And when that clique gets what they have been dishing out, the whining is just unbelievable.
Perhaps the hysterical crowd should not have run around calling everyone "statists" or "bush-bots" or "jack booted thug lovers" or doing any other mindless name calling designed merely to shout down a view contrary to the clique's, and to intimidate.
Of course, because of denial and projection, they will never realize that they brought this on themselves.

Nah. While I love the Hitchiker's Guide reference, it is a little too close Karma-wise to x42 for my taste.

No, just a civilian pointing out...Weren't you a big opponent of project TIPS?
To: trick question
...and then when they or one of theirs gets banned then run away crying that they were singled out and rant on an on about how BAD FR is....sort of the do as I say, not as I do mentality.

Appropriate? You mean by NOT having to think and use logic and reasoning in arugments for your position - YEAH - real appropriate. It's silly, juvenile, and a sign of a weak mind. Considering the amount of "logic and reasoning" that go into opposing arguments, which is none at all, yes, it is appropriate. Drawing parallels with the U.S. and the Soviet Union and 1930's Germany is what is really silly, juvenile and a sign of a weak mind.
To: StopDemocratsDotCom
So after 500 posts...did anyone tell us what the number '5' means?

Or did you hit abuse on Gawain for entering a thread with the clear goal of disrupting, and initiating a flame war? He would never do that. He's not a stalker, you know.

Drop over to Libertypost and you will see many of the same names, revelling in the disruption that they cause over here. They rejoice in bringing Jim Rob problems and laugh about the insults and attacks they carry out against other FR members.
Jekyll and Hyde? Two-faced? Liberals pretending to be conservatives?

You should write fiction. You seem to be good at it.
To: RedBloodedAmerican
Typical. When you consider the most popular area 'over there' is the place where people b!tch and moan about FR, it really isn't surprising.
To: rintense
They banned someone that was evidently a friend of RBAhole and Luis. See how they're crying about some disruptor being banned.
To: Sir Gawain
Honestly, I don't care who gets banned. When you break Jim's rules, ah buh bye.
To: rintense
"Honestly, I don't care who gets banned. When you break Jim's rules, ah buh bye."Do you honestly believe, that Mr. Robinson's "rules" are fairly applied to ALL? &;-)
To: 2Trievers
Do you honestly believe, that Mr. Robinson's "rules" are fairly applied to ALL? &;-)YES.
If you have an issue with the rules, take it up with Jim.
