BEWARE FROBL’s!!!
You are being sent this message because you have recently been stung by a FROBL.
That would be a Free Republic Open Border Lobbyist. Do not be concerned! Their stingers are so tiny it’s laughable. Which is what makes them so darn pesty and contrary.
They make a lot of noise, considering there are only about a dozen of them, and are really quite harmless, unless they are able to zap some unsuspecting victim who has wandered into “their territory”. Now “their territory seems to be, well, whatever they decide it is, usually any thread with people trying to present news about or discuss a solution to the illegal immigration crisis. Oh, they have radar!! And they’re fast.
They will use the excuse for this disruption as support for President Bush. President Bush would probably be ashamed of their “buzzing”. You will learn to recognize them and avoid their harassment. I didn’t say it’s easy!! No, you’ll want to swat them. That’s what they want, masochistic little buggers!
One is a lawyer, or believes he is. He will spout case by case (always irrelevant) his best Johnny Cochran babble.
Another likes to come in with a show; big color display, with EVERY post.
You’ll recognize a couple of these FROBL’s when you find, after being a patriotic, religious, conservative, self-reliant, first amendment type your entire life, that you are now a racist, xenophobic, idiot, undereducated moronic, lazy, Mexican/Bush hating, Buchananite anti-semite isolationist Hillary worshiper. This one wants you to feel smaller than him. Don’t worry, it can’t be done.
One or two will defend making money off the hiring of illegals, avoiding taxes, minimum wage laws and what price his fellow citizens pay to subsidize his wealth.
Another one just bursts in briefly, fluttering her little wings to coach on one of her clan with a quick one liner to let you know she doesn’t like you, your opinion or source (no matter how conservative, reliable or factual it is). This one will remind you of her “seniority”. “Get it, Newbie??!!!!” Here’s where they show their true stripe, claiming to be compassionate to illegal border jumpers but proving how open minded they actually are when attacking a new poster.
But the worst are the two or three that will pretend to being “gentle”as if your IQ is just too low to comprehend anything about this issue.
It won’t matter if you’re living in a community that was a few years ago, “middle America” and now it is an illegal alien “camp” infested with crime, drugs, disease and despair.
It won’t matter if one of your family was killed by an illegal “ guest worker” even though illegal aliens now make up 1/3 of our incarceration rates.
It won’t matter when you tell them you are a college kid who can’t get hired because the foremen doesn’t speak English.
It won’t matter if you work for INS, Border patrol and try to make them understand the truth. They’ll call you a liar every time.
It won’t matter when you prove everything you say. So don’t even try. Tell someone who still has the ability to hear. They will appreciate it. Tell your congressional representatives and the White House.
FROBL’s, though they proclaim their superiority in every way over YOU, only have one vote, too.
GOD BLESS AMERICA. And FreeRepublic
Gawd, wish I'd kept all those hundreds of bookmarks.
While I occassionally charge into the fray for the sake of others’ morale, Solomon has plenty of advice that backs you up. Here are just a few examples:
Proverbs 17:10: A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. ... 12: Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
Proverbs 29:11: A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
Proverbs 29:9: If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest ... 20: Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
Proverbs 23:23: Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. [Jesus: “The Truth will set you free.”]
Proverbs 10:14: Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
We need to support each other. I don’t want patriots getting themselves worked up and banned because some loose-borders whore got under their skin. I don’t know exactly the best way to organize support other than to private messege to people who might need to be “talked down” from teh cyber roof top before they jump.
INDEED.
