Correct. And in my opinion, Clinton should NEVER have invited Arafat to the White House. But the fact is that he did and Arafat was technically a guest of the United States, it is not the place of a mayor to defy American foreign policy.
Bump!
GOOD post!
Indeed.
Hey, you!
Good to “see” you. ;o)
Mia T got banned? Why on earth?
I’m not happy with the membership thinning, but I was probably in the shower with JimRob asked for my approval. In a couple of hours I found 30 names no longer active. Some were evolutionists (like myself), others Rudy supporter (I could care less) who clearly did take it overboard, and others I don’t know. I see now that some are on DarwinCentral and WideAwakess. I’m not overly impressed with any of this.
So Ruddy supporters and evolutionists don’t fit into JimRob’s vision of conservativeism. Okay, It’s his call. I’m sure amputating them is not the right way to “right size” the Republican Party as a whole, but this isn’t RubublicanRepublic.com so that’s not the issue here. Whether or not they’re within the boundaries of Jim’s more social conservative vision of conservativism as applied to this community is totally up to Jim.
Did you address me on that thread even once? NO! Again, please be specific and provide a link.
There were several posters who routinely ganged up on and pinged the boss...like good little capos.
I never pinged "the boss" to anyone's post. If you have gripes with other posters, please address them to those parties.
Also, having been privileged to post in here for nine years, I've seen all the historic purges up close.
And that has something to do with your allegation that I am dishonest? The logic is missing.
This one DID have several posters appear like brownshirts. If you can't admit that, we have nothing more to say to each other.
You're entitled to that opinion, but I would question your historical knowledge of "brownshirts" in making the comparison. I find use of the term over-the-top. I guess we will agree to disagree.
??????? That was last night.
Not knowing anything more about it than what you reported, it sounds like one of the inevitable trade offs that were disproportionately associated with the Clinton presidency. In hind sight without knowing the details, it sounds justified.
What sounds justified?
First let me say that although I am registered at WideAwakes since March 15th, I am not part of any hidden thread. I don't know what "salt river" is.
Those FRiends that went to WA were relationships we nutured through the Impeachment in 98...the Florida recount of 2000...which I was very active in down at the SCOTUS.
Also, the Challenger catastrophe...Elian......911...Schiavo...Afghanistan and Iraq...it goes on and on!
I am not in any clique and always considered myself an outsider..but anybody that has followed my posts for nine years, knows that I'm not afraid to speak my mind.
The Bugzapper thread lessened FreeRepublic. The piling on....calling the boss whenever things got nasty...to me that's what brownshirts are. SS stormtroopers...jackbooted thugs jumping in glee as more and more moderate conservatives were forced out of here.
As far as your last comment that it was pre-planned...I seriously doubt that. But again, not being an insider, am not in a position to defend it one way or the other.
Cheers!

Howlin & Peach were banned too
So, EVERY mayor in the country has the right to decide whether or not they will recognize established diplomatic protocol and establish his own foreign policy?
Yep, something about conservatives having their "foot on the neck" of Republicans too long.
Why is that a problem, this is a CONSERVATIVE forum, it's not a GOP forum.
I followed the bugzapper thread and what suprised me, many people who were zotted were making remarks for some time and I wondered why they wern’t banned earlier.
Right now at WA, it is still kumbaya.
When Rudy and Mitt are out of the race and the WA folks
run out of steam bashing FR, Wide Awakes will be even more irrelevant.
Are you denying that there is a hidden thread or simply stating that you don't participate in it?
Also, the Challenger catastrophe...Elian......911...Schiavo...Afghanistan and Iraq...it goes on and on!
Yep, it was their glee over Terri's murder that really established what type of people many of them were.
