I don't think so.
He would have said "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me".
Reagan was a practical conservative. He was once a tax raiser (when he was Governor of CA) until he watched as the Dems kept on spending each time he balanced the budget.
He then decided that deficits were a good club to beat over their heads every time they tried to increase spending. Essentially taking away the booze from the alcoholic.
You seem to be saying that Irish terrorism is not really terrorism because of the actions of the British. If so, that is an evil and foolish thing to say. Evil because it is never legitimate to deliberately target civilians. Foolish because, of course, the British do not consider their political relationship with Northern Ireland to be one of occupation, and neither does the U.S. (or the U.N. for that matter). You should take your idiotic and evil sectarianism elsewhere. This is not an Irish terrorist supporting site.
Her account is still active but she hasn't posted since April.
You oldtimers can be such a pain... :o)

You are mistaken. RA was banned for cause, not once but twice. The second infraction made it permanent.
There is no litmus test involved to join, so lots of folks join in who THINK theyre conservative, and then bristle when the prevailing objectives of this site (or any other) do not match their own particular sense of reality.
***Yes, I’ve seen the same thing with lots of rudybots. That’s why I kept posting this statement from JimRob’s front page below. It was one of the few filters that would work & get them to admit that they were not social conservatives.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc.
Just call me “sir,” youngster.
Mr. Guiliani represents a state - NY - that has become the basket case of the western world...or at least the middle Atlantic and Great Lakes region. Many regions of NY look more like Appalachia in the 1930s than the once glorious Empire State. And like desperate people sometimes do they have voted in a maniac for governor and 2 senators who wouldn’t even make good dog catchers.
The NYS Republican Party is led by a bunch of vapid old corrupt has beens and hangers on who have either fallen on their swords or keep ripping themselves to shreds in one agonizing defeat after another...and now on top of all this gothic horror show they endorse Rudy as a favorite son. A “savior” they believe who based on his toughness during 9-11 will carry the day in 2008.
Looking for more failure? Vote for Rudy.
Hahahaha!
You are really onto something. There's a billion-dollar business in this. I can just see a delivery truck pulling up at your place six times a day. The driver brings the new, clean baby to your doorstep and carries off the old dirty one, and tosses it into a bin in the back of the truck for processing at the factory.
No, you didn't misread it. Someone miswrote it.
Arafat wasn't invited to the event. I believe the city was hosting the event. Rudy threw the jihadist-loving, bus-exploder Arafat out on his ass.
Arafat may have been a guest of Clinton in Washington, but he was a tresspasser at the event.
Good for Rudy to throw him out.
You should be embarassed to criticize such an action.
Fitting...
Proof positive that we did the right thing. Freepers coming out of hiding and expressing themselves like mountain flowers after a spring rain.
Sorry about that. Try this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1612338/posts?page=415#415
what the heck gives you the right to question my reasons for being here.
***Interesting. That was one of the questions put to Peach that she refused to answer, just before she was banned. It was also a question put to nopardons, long before she was banned but she was probably kept around to be a pasquinade. You grow more shrill with each passing week, I guess Spiff was right, yours appears to be the longest opus in FR.
I’ve got nine years in here...
***So did quidnunc, right before JimRob used him as toilet paper and threw out yellow smoke. Good luck in your endeavors at WA.
You mean this?
I didn’t pester or curse, but I did ridicule and humiliate some of those who have since left for bluer pastures full of the manure they like to shovel.
It was especially humiliating for them when I copied and pasted their own words, for everyone to see.
And yes, I ridiculed them for supporting forced euthanasia. When they paraphrased Nazi propaganda posters, I posted images of the posters they were paraphrasing.
I happily helped them reveal themselves. They made it so easy. Perhaps it was because they honestly didn’t think there was anything wrong with their views, or practices. And yes, some of them did practice what they preached. It was nauseating.
When they were finally called to task for their ways, they stood behind their views and practices as firmly as the Nazis stood behind theirs. As though everyone else was just too stupid to understand how right they were.
I’m not sorry that I stood firm against their agenda. And I’m not sorry that they no longer have use of this forum to push their agenda. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I clicked on Travis’ screen name, and it shows him as not being banned.
And I remember those posts, because they made me laugh. The absurdity of needing to remind folks of what the site is all about was only matched by the cognitive dissonance of those who looked right at your (Jimrob’s) list, and then would spout their crap anyway!
The fact is though, there are atheists here, and libertarians, along with others that don’t quite measure up to those standards, and they are tolerated as long as they behave themselves. It’s those who cannot control themselves, or who insist on shoving their non status-quo attitudes on the rest of our faces that get themselves bumped.
Im grateful for the bugzapper thread, so I dont have to worry about a cult of liberals descending on me like vultures.
***Well written. I did have them descend on me and I couldn’t figure out what had happened to Free Republic. Many moons ago I posted that JimRob would need to deal with his RINO invasion, and I’m glad he did. But I didn’t think he’d get around to it until after the election, so I started to feel like I would go back into lurker mode or my days as a freeper would soon draw short.
