Well, well, well. And yet another anti-Freeper site springs up:

We must be doing something right to have so many Bush haters hating us so much.

Well, we wish you luck. You'll have plenty of competition from FR haters.

.Free Republic DOES suck...

up all the worthwhile posters on the internet.

Other forums that try to form are stuck with ranting blowhards who back up their assertions with... more assertions.

Frankly, it's sad to see them destroy the new forums.

Gee, Jim, bet you walk around with hurt feelings allllll day. : )

Give me something to work with on how you would fix things;

Temporary moderators. Ask some of the banned and not banned ones to come back.

Hother that OWK clones running the place.

Hey! Dont restrict my options! Okay, better idea: lowbridge clones running the place. :-)

Give me some specifics on what you mean by mutual admiration. I mostly hate everybody, but I try not to show it.

Long time no see.

Yes, it's a variation of Lilly Langtry. Years ago, I remember seeing the Paul Newman movie "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" and became fascinated by him and his feelings for Langtry even though he died never meeting her. No, I've never visited Langtry, Texas but I keep hoping the opportunity will present itself.

[OWK]

Got kinda quiet in here...

What dissenting opinion gets the hammer?
-don-o-

I myself was suspended just a week ago for questioning the existence of God...
And the posts were wiped from existence.
For example.
499 -owk-



I was suspended/2 posts pulled last week for remarking to the anti-Buchanan crowd that the allegations being made about his 'nazism' could be themselves be seen as fascist style tactics.

For another example.

[OWK]

You're one of those libertarians...

You probably meant something else..

better not take any chances.

ZOT!

Let me try. I question the existence of God.

[tpaine]

Don't forget unclean hands, and my abject failure to become a 'decent' person.

[Boss, I's tryin, fer sure I is!]

[Raised eyebrows.]

Something tells me there may have been a little more to it than that.

[tpaine]

Your 'try' doesn't count.

You special.

Is that it?

LMAO

Pat is a good man with a message, but, get over it. His message has no traction. I understand that y'all are true believers, but there is just too much baggage.

Lissen, I had an infatuation with Keyes - gave him more money that I could afford.

Finally saw the "bridge out" sign.

Reality is that Buchanan is a lightning rod for all sorts of nuttiness that I do not need to see on my Free Republic.

Believe me, if I dwell on it, I'll be suspended again.. Or banned.

Catch 22 for us 'malcontents'.

[don-o]

?

I can take a hint when I get out of line. I have been, and been called out.

Any of you heroes ever get a Freepmail admonishing you to tone it down before suspension?

Tell the truth.

Ever consider that you might be out of bounds?

[don-o]

Get over yourself.

You horrible nasty heathen you! LOL LOL

If you EVER have the opportunity to visit Langry do it!!! It is a scene right out of the very old west. My first time going out there was with my Dad back in the early seventies. I have a picture of him standing in front of the judges courthouse. Not too far from Langry you'll pass over the pecos river as well The awesome blue water at the bottom of the canyon is something to behold. If you ever plan a trip down this way freepmail me and I'll give you a list of cool things to see around the Big Bend and Pecos areas.
