thanks for the ping...funny, a home-grown terrorist named Ayres can write ‘Dreams From My Father’ and the country goes ape, swallows it hook line and sinker, and the few that don’t become labelled right-wing extremists and ‘birthers’ ...
Then a physicist recalls a dinner conversation in Russia that really should have chilled our blood, but he cannot get the story out, no one believes him, so he has to circulate his experience by e-mail and through bloggers, finally ending up joining FR and posting his story here, where he’s treated as a troll...remember Tom Fife?
Now Race Bannon, a Freeper almost for-ever tells us a story of his recollections during his time in Hawaii - when he met a young man who may very well have been obama - but instead of taking notice of the information contained in the well-written story that was a pleasure to read, what does he get for his trouble?
Sad. Tell you what...if I ended up having lunch with the doctor who delivered obama in Mombasa I wouldn’t bother telling anyone about it. I wouldn’t be believed, would I?
But when Barbara Nelson said that Dr West told her ‘Stanley Ann had a baby today’ and she wrote the baby’s name on a table napkin...no one told her she was a liar, did they?
I’m becoming bitterly disgusted with the lack of discernment shown on this forum of late. Sorry.
Is it any wonder people don’t come forward with information regarding the O? People call them liars, etc. So, why bother? Lack of discernment on this forum? I sometimes cringe reading the replies to some of the threads.
I don’t call BS on anything - I just keep things hidden in my heart and see if anything else comes to light, rather than be too quick to judge.
Prayer is our friend. The Bible says that there isn’t anything done in secret that won’t be brought to light. We need to continue praying these words that God will bring to light all the secrets o and company are trying to keep hidden. God knows all!
Fred - it's not easy - but you're appreciated. People who value truth over "getting along" help keep us free - but they don't win popularity contest. I'm sorry Tom Fife was treated badly... do you have a link to that thread? I remember some of it - but would like to reread it. Thanks.
boy, did you just describe me in that post!!
And boy was that so right, other people, when it is in their favor, are held up and believed, yet anyone else, like me, we are most likely kooks.
I wish me and my friends went back with our photo albums, I would remember more.
Thank you both for your comments about your dismay and disgust with some comments on FR.
Some of it, I’m sure, has to do with the disillusionment and cynicism inherent in our current political situation.
Still, it is disheartening to read boneheaded posts. I want to think more highly of FReepers than some comments will allow. Sometimes I shoot back, but more often just close the thread.
All this is to say that I share your disgust, but that it really helps to know that others feel the same way. We are not alone. Most FReepers, I continue to believe, are thoughtful and intelligent Americans — just sometimes quieter than those who annoy us.
My guess is the REAL trolls on the board are people who make us feel ashamed of being conservative.
Fred:
We are all a little frustrated lately but, this story just has some very obvious holes in it.
Does Barry O. look like a Mulatto? That is when my spidey senses went off the chart.
And that story from Barbara Nelson is just so much baloney as well.
Go ahead and flame me. You know my very strident stance on Barry O. but, I want to have unimpeachable evidence on this guy not some stories that don’t make sense.
Post on.
You are so right and thanks for trying to set these doubters straight.
FredNerks-good comparison. I am catching up on some FR postings and just last night reading a thread: OFFICIAL REQUEST BY CONGRESSMEN TO SEE OBAMA’S BIRTH http://www.thepostemail.com/ ^ there was a mention of a Marine with the "nik" of RaceBannon which switched on light bulbs for me and made the FR connection.
I have lurked on FR since the Clintoons and joined in 2001. I can vouch for RaceBannon FR credentials and his consistant conservatism.
Fred, another FR poster of note is Doug from Upland and the Rathergate scandle-(if i remember correctly), Mercuria, AnnaZ they could all vouch for RaceBannon's credentials.
