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.
Testing, please ignore...
Never, ever.
My philosophy too, except when some jerk really ticks me off.
Right ...
I never aim. I prefer area clearance weapons .. napalm, white phosphorus, or nukes (depending on the area needing clearing).
And contrarily, I'm far less inclined to defend them than I was, say, 2 years ago, largely because of my involvement in crevo discussions. Christian creationists need to understand (and they don't seem to understand) that for scientists, this is a bedrock issue. Pushing a sectarian dogmatic view of origins into public schools and universities will alienate a large fraction of scientisits, many of whom are naturally conservative and would otherwise be inclined to support them on a score of other issues. For the well being of conservatism in general, this is really destructive.
Actually, no. There are non-theistic varieties of creationism which involve life on Earth being designed/created here, or "seeded", by non-terrestrial intelligences of some sort -- loosely speaking, by space aliens.
And, pray tell, how am I supposed to have fun while I am on this site?
Remember what I said about "Grow Up"? Apparently you didn't listen. Real mature response there, FRiend.

DESSERT!
