Sheesh! Uncle Bill is unbanned, too!
Maybe they rolled back the server and all of the old timers got accidentally reinstated.
Well, PING the Inspector.
He was a lot of fun, and the moon landing hoax discussions were a hoot.
Thanks for that glimpse of acrimony at the Kos.
Your advice sounds a lot like the post that I nominated as the best of the entire 18k+ bugzapper thread.

I think that where this is leading is that those who have used FreeRepublic to push something fundamentally contrary to the concept of conservatism have lost their springboard for pushing their views. They will have to go to some other forum to advocate their positions.
I am a libertarian who votes Republican most of the time and identifies with conservatism most of the time. Posting on FreeRepublic has never been a problem for me because, to the extent that there is any divergence between my libertarian views and the prevailing conservative views of this website, I do not use this forum to advance any contradictory positions.
That’s really not so hard to absorb, is it?

-—except for Hunter, the rest of them seem to dance around it,
***Bump that. Duncan Hunter is the best candidate in the race and I hope he gains some traction from this issue. All of this satisfaction from both sides of the aisle shows that he has strong crossover appeal.
Heh. Same here. A Drudge headline linked directly to "White Water" (as FR was often referred to in those days). That was on January 20th, 1998, the morning the "intern scandal" broke in the "mainstream" news media (ABC).
I’m afraid he just hasn’t come off that way to me.
Maybe I haven’t looked into his entire history on every issue. I am the last person in the world to get idealistic stars in my eyes over any politician or what they can “do for us”, and maybe there are good and bad things in ALL of them, (God knows, there were things that positively THRILLED me about Alan Keyes, and a few things I positively HATED about him, as a practical candidate focussed on winning rather than just getting his message out)> I would probably feel the same way about Duncan Hunter if I eventually became aware of ALL his positions on things political. I have yet to see a candidate who has the nerve to talk about the need to DE-politicize all these hot-button issues that they keep us in thrall with, instead of harping on the old Conservative theme of “smaller government”, which is a poor substitute for de-politicization, just as poor a substitute as the concept of “non-partisan working together”, which just reinforces hyper-politicization, rather than phasing it out.
That would truly be a step forward.
Y’all cant be all that picky about who you let hang out here. Even I think I can say some idiotarianistic blowhardy stuff when my temper’s up. So far y’all’ve been pretty forgiving. Heck, I hardly ever even get teased for my piss poor grammar.
I guess I must have absorbed it ;’}
Well, just look at his record.
Start here:
Then watch this:
A few of them were also those who were most active on the freepathon threads.
Respectfully, I thought a lot of the more vocal ones came across as believing they were bigger than Free Republic. Whenever one of them had a disagreement with someone, they would ping all of their buddies and ravage whomever the target du jour was.
The website was getting pretty vicious before the bugzapper thread, particularly if you were only a part-time poster and dared to point out one of Mayor Giuliani's shortcomings. It has been a LOT more civil since.
Oh, great, a new faction of the republican party: the idiotarianistic blowhardy bunch. I tells ya, this here tent is jus’ gettin’ too darn big.
The Bug Zapper Thread was pretty busy, but I did find this. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1821435/posts?page=4514#4514 .
I still think about CHIEF negotiator from time to time. He was good.
Also, heavyd.
Better than Dixie Chicks!
Still looks suspended...

Technically speaking, there should be a hyphen in the phrase referring to your grammar.
It’s a good thing we’re all Conservatives here, believe me.
Otherwise, it would be annotated thesauri at twenty paces.
(Or maybe, the AP Stylebook)
