Free Republic and Liberty Post.org

To all:

I would hope your appearances and posting on these pages states your desire to undo years of liberal policies in this land I hope we all dearly love. I would hope that a hundred successful LibertyPost.org and FreeRepublics would advance the cause we all hold near and dear.

From what I have read here it seems many are more interested in fighting each other than they are in advancing the cause of individual liberty and limited constitution government as envisioned by our forefathers.

If my second paragraph is the truth, shame on you.

Let us stop the petty bickering about crap that doesn't amount to a hill of blue beans and get on with the job at hand.

[Ragin1]

But it is not the left I was referring to.

[Don Joe]

"has a clique of anti Freepers"

It also has a clique of anti-semites. And some off the charts raving nutters.

The place is a sewer.

Oh YEAH!

Well, your mother.. she's older than you! HA!

(it's from pinkie and the brain.. something is very wrong with people who don't like pinkie and the brain.)

Think I'll mosey on over to Lib. Org and see if I can start a fight. (It ain't easy being Irish)

[diotima]

Do you think it is proper to penalize people for being a member of both forums? Several people there have registered under names different than they use at FR for the very reason that they would be penalized here for being registered and posting there.

[Dales]

That's ok. We don't have to agree.

[BADJOE]

Go ahead. It is fun.

[leadpenny]

Imagine Whirled Peas! or

Ca . . can we all ge . . get along on Fre . . FreeRepublic?

I shouldn't be making lite of your important comments.

[Jhoffa_]

I looked in there once and it seems to revolve heavily around discussing outdated, petty, tit-for-tat arguments amoung freepers, mods, the network and the FAB. 99.99% of it is ancient history that should have died and passed on by now, and would have if it had been left alone.

I didn't care much for it myself and I doubt others will either.

[diotima]

Why don't you post the nice remark to which that was a response, big guy?

[Jim Robinson]

Out in the fringes of tinfoil land, left and right is indistinguishable. Leftist propaganda is used to smear anyone and everyone. We have problems enough working against the real problems without muddying up the water. I'd rather keep it out. This is a activist forum, not a liberal debating society.

[maxwell]

Some participants, especially newcomers, need education, not criticism, from us

And some participants just really do need criticism, dude...

[TLBSHOW]

the place is a garbage heap with anti-freepers, yeah Liberty org sucks!

[TLBSHOW]

bump

I challenge you to post this same thread at FR. You won't because you don't want the marks to know there's another forum out here that really promotes free speech.

As You can see I saw it there

[Willie Green]

A fledgling news site much like FR was in the beginning but has a clique of anti Freepers.

Sounds like yet another little splinter group of malcontent libertarians sqawking that their "liberty" has somehow been infringed upon because no-one has the right to criticize their lack of personal restraint.

Well, thanks for the explanation.
No need for me to bookmark that site, too many other real issues to discuss.
But at least I'll understand the reference if they're ever mentioned on other threads.

[Dales]

There are people who are paranoid about all sorts of things. I think the important thing is what Badjoe posted in this vanity- we should be keeping our eyes on the ball and leaving all the other bullspit be.

I think that over time, one can conclude that those who keep focusing on these personal bickerings are more interested in causing problems than in helping fix our country.

[diotima]

For crying out loud, this herd mentality "They suck, we rule" is ridiculous. Let them talk about what ever they want even if it doesn't fit with your specific definition of "conservative." There is a large spectrum of information and opinions out there. It is far wiser to judge them on a case by case basis, then to say they suck because they aren't FR. It's good to argue your position, if only to see how it holds up against attempted refuation.

Only the Afers suck, and thats because they have nothing better to do than call people filthy names and make false allegations.

That is what is normally referred to as taking one's self way too seriously...

Ain't that the truth.
