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.

What is so interesting about evolution or creation, other than going on fossil/gem/mineral hunts? Personally, I love separating layers of shale.

You couldn't drag me kicking and screaming into one of those hell hole threads. I avoid them like the plague. Have to take a shower after simply glancing over some of the abuse reports that drain off those swamps. No thank you, ma'am. I'll continue to keep mineself pure as the wind-driven snow.

Coincidentally, this thread just got posted, and the procession of linked images is ultra cool.

I thought it was the cockroach that ate Cincinatti...

Thanks, it kind of looks like this thread, actually.

C.J.
It's kinda like a story I heard about an old circuit rider preacher who wrote about an event that occurred to him one day in his diary. This was a strong man and came into a town one day only to be abusively confronted by the town bully. The bully walked up to him and said "You the preacher?" The man replied, yes. Bully says "In the Bible it says that if your enemy smites you on the cheek then you are supposed to turn your head and present your other cheek to him, is that right?" Preacher said, "yes, it is." to which the bully pulls back his fist and punches the preacher straight in the jaw. The preacher regains his composure and the bully says "whatja gonna do about that." to which the preacher turns his other cheek to him to be hit again. The bully, on cue, pulls back his fist and hits the preacher again..., with that, the preacher wrote "there being no further admonition from Scripture, I proceeded to beat the devil out of him." :o)

True story. But the facts are, that while Jesus exalts us to be kind, he doesn't expect us to be doormats and he does expect us to "earnestly contend for the faith." He was not a doormat, nor were his apostles, nor am I.

Good Star Trek analogy. I've seen posters in other forums banned because it becomes painfully obvious they are stalling discussion merely to end it.

In bicycle racing, this tactic is called blocking. As the riders revolve to take the wind's brunt they let off on the effort and distroy the cadence of the effort so badly the riders off the front manage to stay away longer.

I'm grateful I avoided the threads where the creationists and believers in evolution - like myself, thank-you - retorically rattle the monkey cage bars screaching at each other so badly it doesn't even amuse the general public looking on at the specticle.

What is so interesting about evolution or creation

I believe we are God's practical joke on Mother Nature.

[DittoJed2]

Well Jim, if it is any consolation, I don't plan on going back to the Crevo threads at all. I will poke around some religion threads, if I'm still here. As ugly as it got there, it was nothing compared to the crevo threads.

Hello, Jim Robinson,

You type like a lunatic. I have no co-conspirators and I haven't
posted on FreakRepublic since you fell for the BIG LIE.
All you see on your site is of YOUR own doing. 

This mess is because you can't be responsible when you could
easily tell the God haters your protect to shut piehole.
Everyone knows it. Even you. 
Down the sewer you go bubba. Hugging evos all the way.

I run real conservative christian websites. You run a cesspool of
hate and slander because that makes you money.
Nothing lasts forever. Especially a lie.

[TaxRelief]

Darn! It's that java thing again. I'll check it out next time we go to the Library. Thanks for the tip.

[RightWingNilla]

Dancin' knuckleball placemarker.

[Cultural Jihad]

Perhaps you can be so kind as to point out where contending for the faith involves incessant whining and wailing over alleged injustices on a message board or threatening lawsuits.

[Poohbah]

Wow, that guy's a bit...ahem...full of himself, ain't he?

[Jim Robinson]

My reply:

Duly filed as evidence of your irrational hatred for me and Free Republic (not to
mention even more libel and slander).

Keep 'em coming.

Thanks.

Your obedient servant,

Jim

This site is one of the most Christian friendly I have ever been on.

I have been on the Evo/Creation threads - as well as every other type of thread (I have even been known to post in the Hobbit Hole).

I have been warned - and we were BOTH were out of line - they just happen to hit abuse first.....

Still - I highly doubt I am anywhere near being banned - Jim?…..Jim?

I stay away from attacking a poster (the occasional name calling seems to have been safe! lol!)


I am a Christian - I am strongly opinionated and I am almost always RIGHT. But I know that G_d changes hearts - not me. The facts are presented and I leave the rest to G_d.

Don’t silence yourself with screams – enlighten with arguments.

If you get attacked – hit abuse and walk away.

[TaxRelief]

Jim,

I know I'm going out on a limb here, but that fanmail from your "Christian" friend really doesn't sound, well, like what one would expect from someone who loves Jesus Christ.

Perhaps, these are people, like the crusaders or Al-Qaida, who invoke the name of the Lord to perpetuate their own brand of evil.

[DittoJed2]

Well, since ALS was the one slandered in the one post, I'm leaving the argument for its removal between yourself and him. The post violates your own rules. Yet, it is your site so what more can I say. That's what you have chosen to do. Goodnight, and I mean it now.

[DittoJed2]

Oh, good grief! Groan! Now we're Al Qaida. Goodnight to you too TaxRelief. Your tin foil is crooked.
