I am sure everyone wants to know what I think. (YIKES)

Posted on 02/20/2012 12:11:03 PM PST by dt57

ok, guess this is what is called a vanity. Not sure because this is my first post. So give me a break ok? WE are now down to 4 candidates. Here is how I see it. There will be no surprizes for anyone who has read my posts.

1. Ron Paul. A true fiscal conservative that I would vote for in a heart beat if he had a clue about our enemies and how much they hate us and want to destroy us and our way of life.

2. Mitt Romney. All he has to offer is that he really, really, really wants to be President. Well, good for him. The problem is when that is your sole motivatiion, you will do anything to win. It is sickening. I can not vote of this man.

3. Rick Santorum. A good family man, and an above average Senator for PA. A true second tier candidate any field (except the one we have.) He is a fair communicator and fair debator. I will vote for him, if he is the one. Can he win, I doubt it.

4. Newt Gingrinch. A flawed candidate with a lot of (known) bagage. I happen to believe they all have past sins, it is just his are really out there to say the least. Newt can articulate the conservative message better than anyone since Ronald Reagan. I hope he wins.

5. A brokered or contested convention. This will insure an establishment republican. I know many say Rick and Newt will put their delegates together. I will have to see that to believe it.

So your style is....to take Freeper's posts out of context and them single them out as being examples of "hazing and berating"...of a noob.

Great.....

Can we call you the FR police?

“Lots of noobs turn out to be retreads and trolls. Others are arrogant and try to come in and run the place.”

I know that, I’ve read way too many threads here. But this one right from the start did not have the smell of a retread or troll.


“If you post a vanity as a noob...you will get grief.”

This one was better than some I’ve seen posted in News.


“...STFU noob”.

Several members had welcoming comments and some even replied to his political statement before it was moved from Chat to Smokey Backroom.

My style is not like yours. I, and perhaps a few hundred other people that read this thread, wouldn’t mind if you let up a little on the profane acronyms. After all, another catch phrase has gone by the wayside, and I thank you for that :)

I appreciated Laz swearing off of “I’d hit it” when that got real old, and I wouldn’t mind if he decides to give new members who are decent, such as dt57, a break by not telling them to STFU.

Politely put: Request denied.

Besides, I pleaded with dt57 to come back.

I even cried.

Besides, in 1999, when I posted a vanity announcing my presence, everyone told me to STFU, noob.

I don’t think dt57 deserved the lumps that were given him for his political thoughts, considering there was a recent thread in Chat “14 Uses For Wax Paper”.

I actually loved that thread.

Until then, I had no idea wax paper could be used as a sex toy.

Frankly, the only way I can have sex, is if it involves sandpaper in some way.

So, why do you insist on being "the voice" of FR....when you aren't?

Get over yourself....

I believe this thread was a set up by dt57. On one of his posts he said he had met his goal of over 100 replies to his thread. I thought at the time he was trying too hard to sound uneducated as far as writing goes. As evidence, here are two posts made by him - note the complete sentence structure and continuity of thought and proper spelling of almost all words. He says in the second post, “It is why I try to influence others on websites like this one.” This man is experienced in web work; he knows what he’s doing.

This man below does not appear to be the same man who started this thread, but he is:

“Ok, this is the last time I will say anything about the word Newbie. It is silly. I have been active in political discourse longer than many on this board have been alive. Yes, I signed up on this particular board a couple of weeks ago. Don’t tell me because of that I just don’t get it, or I am not a conservative. I am pro-life (my greatest issue by the way), and I am a hawk on national defense. However, in this election cycle our chief concern needs to fiscal. It is the biggest threat to our country. And yes, I understand how it all works together, thanks. Rick Santorum, was a conservative, establishment guy, and I would bet the farm that he would have voted for TARP had he had the chance. That my friend is an opinion. If you that that opinion with you to the coffe shop and give them a couple of dollars you can get a cup of coffee, unless it is Starbucks, then take five.:

Another post:

“Well, then I guess this depends on which side of the Calvin/Armian debate you fall on. LOL. The soverignity of God vs. the free will of Man is a debate that is long and complicated. Volumes have been written and blood has been shed over this one. I happen to fall on the side of Franisco Armanius who advocated for free will, so yes I do believe God is interactive with Humanity thoughout the Bible. So yes, I do think what we do matters and makes a difference even in the political areana. It is why I try to influence others on websites like this one. But in the end, God’s soverignity wins, but only in the sense of final things. I will get back to you on this one after 12/21/2012. If we are still here then all this matters a lot. I tend to believe we will still be around.”

Checking the name on that photo, it is, in fact, DT-57.
