VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

Wow.

As the story unfolds, I am

(where's the TTiny Tom Daschle pic when you need it?)

Deeply Sadenned.

[It is no different now than it was 2 years ago.]

It most certainly is different. Perhaps you should take a one month breather from FR and then come back to it. Some posters here have a huge emotional investment in FR, which isn't necessarily bad thing; but they appear to be incapable of accepting and/or evaluating objective criticism.

And it was thus 2 years ago.

I fail to see your point.

[MonroeDNA]

lol!

From the poem:

How on earth would you cope without me?

How would you know what was going on in town?

How would you know who slept with who?

Admit it, you need me around

Sure sounds like some of 'em!

Thank you for your thoughtless contributions. I think the admin mods do a fine job, even when it comes to my posts! lol!

[MonroeDNA]

I felt like I was venturing into an old folks home when I visited the Biker Bar.They are unable to have a life of their own..they live to gossip about what others have done or are doing.

Like washerwomen at the back fence, angry that they didn't get invited to the canasta party? (My Grandmother, rest her soul, would be so angry with me for saying that, LOL!)

[MEG33]

I think you have it!

Or like DirtycraticUnderwear--spending hours and HOURS talking about what we're doing. I could NEVER figure that one out.

[MEG33]

Great Jim!

[MEG33]

We are interesting and they are dull!

The few who know don't tell. ;)

I felt like I was venturing into an old folks home when I visited the Biker Bar.They are unable to have a life of their own..they live to gossip about what others have done or are doing.

It reminded me of folks who can't stop obsessing over one of their "ex-"s (either someone who dumped them, or who they couldn't get along with and left), and then ends up stalking them, or is unable to get over the shocking fact that their "ex" is getting along just fine without them.

[MEG33]

I really did try to armchair psychoanalize this and I think this is getting close!

[MonroeDNA]

Nice!!!

[MEG33]

psychoanalyze

My favorite quote from over there:

"Take a look at all the posts by this poster. The begging has begun. Looks like the cash cow may be dying a slow death."

The link leads to the profile page for "Support Free Republic." LOL! Dull is not the word for it....
