Not in my book.
This is all about what is right and what is best for America. Its about principled conservatism and traditionalism trumping liberalism. Not how best to employ political expediency to hoodwink folks into voting for you. Its about how best to achieve limited government, lower taxes and in this specific case, how best to defend and protect the unborn. Its about how best to purge evil liberals from within our own ranks and remove big government socialists from within the federal government.
The last people who are capable of advancing conservatism, are politicos like Romney and Giuliani. The mob is a reflection of democracy. America is a Republic and our federal government is based on elected representatives following the Constitution, not making it up as they go along.
You've not replied to me..once let alone thrice.
This is NOT worth arguing about. Well, not to me. You head on and knock yourself out.
You are the one who posted first.
You post like that...you can expect replies questioning your reasoning, your opinion, your whatever.
LOL!!
Good luck....you will need it.
That’s part of what I’m talking about, Jim and the mods have a better perspective on a posters history than we do.
I’ve seen posters banned after being repeatedly warned over several months but the thread it happens on seems fairly innocuous and innocent.
Although I've only been here a year I've had the same experience. You pretty much have to be an in-your-face jerk or post something *really* over the top to get zotted.
If this weren't true then threads like this one we're on wouldn't happen nearly every day. So many people would get zotted that this kind of dissent wouldn't exist. But it does.
So in real life zotting is mostly based on behavior and *not* viewpoint except for the extremes. And the definition of "extreme" is pretty well understood by the FReeper community and enforced by Jim and his mods.
GOD bless you Jim... you are speaking truth to ignorance dude!
LLS
I like the Wizard of Oz.
You’ll shoot your eye out Kid.
I see a link to a thread there, but I still haven't seen any proof that there are any cases IN that thread that support the claim about all those people getting zotted just for disagreeing.
Well...it works for them in “lalaland”. But this ain’t Oz OR Kansas. This is conservative country and they probably should just breeze on through to their ‘real’ destination.
As for pissant’s stance, he’s free to leave or stay. His choice. But announcing his reasons for leaving seems a bit petulant to me. I’m disappointed.
Looks like it is Berosus
I don't know why this would bother many freepers, unless they're mittbots or on dialup.
“Look, lady, can you spell the Van in Vanilla?”
Lady Lawyer is describing a condition created by government (mandatory medical treatment) and looking for a solution. The patient, or taxpayers, have to pay for treatment or the hospital get stuck with the tab (which has already some medical facilities to close)
I also think the ridiculous and unfounded damage payments have to be curtailed to make reduce the cost of medical services.
The medical facility and the patient should determine treatment but they presently do so with little regard to cost.... expecting a third party to pay for it. This is another aspect that has to be addressed and I think savings accounts, with the patient making payment, coupled with catastrophic coverage is the best solution.
What I, and many others,want are solutions to these problems and politicians that will fix their mess then let the private sector do what only they do efficiently and effectively.
The thread poster is pissant.
pissant is not XenoHistorian, however.
The flying monkeys scare me.
The flying monkeys scare me.
I’m with you. How the hell are we going to beat the Rats in 2012 with all this infighting? Romney schmomney. I want someone with grit and I don’t care if it’s a RINO or a giraffe at this point. Any Republican stands for what is most important...our national security...fixing our runaway economy......encouraging the growth of the private sector...eliminating Federal spending and bolstering our national defense which includes punishing terrorists...making this country strong and FREE. I’ll vote for that person...not some third party candidate who has a snowball’s chance in hell of winning and serves to spoil it for the GOP.
I’m just a pissant, not a blogger
Exactly. They’re trying to paint this forum as being as bad or almost as bad as DU. Nothing is further from the truth.
But even conservatives have varying and dissimilar issues which they stand firm on. Those certain issues are not up for debate or wavering on if you really ARE conservative, IMO. Less government interferance and control is the main issue and from what I’ve read and seen, Mitt Romney does not adhere to that criteria. Ergo, the “”bashing””. My question is, since when is posting facts, truths and a candidate’s OWN WORDS considered bashing?
It’s not narrow-minded to hold out for a solid conservative (like Sarah Palin). It’s just good, logical common sense.
