Time to close ranks behind Romney. He will beat Obama.
your kidding my right...that is the second most stupid statement I read today.
I’ve been “smacked”. I learned. :-)
Why not try to persuade them?
How many woebegone moderates and liberals have you successfully persuaded? Betcha it's very few, to none.
After finding my way home to true conservatism, I spent years trying to persuade moderates and liberals that ours is the superior, right way. It was almost always a fool's errand. In time, I realized that the journey to true conservatism is a personal one.
As the old folks used to say, 'you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."
FR has a very precise mission and purpose for being. What it IS NOT, is a place to debate with moderates and liberals until we finally persuade them that ours is the superior way. If you want to do that, I invite you to join any number of wide open political forums where conservatives who are so inclined, do just that.
Second only to yours. You do realize that freedom of speech doesn’t apply here at all, don’t you? Or are you just being a drama queen?
You are an odd member, you have been here for 10 years as a lurker and talk fluently of threads and trends years into the past, you post on your home page that you love to debate politics, yet you never felt the desire to have a voice or make a point here until 3 weeks ago.
Now that you have signed up, most of your posts sound like an old retread as you bounce back and forth from attacks on FR and it’s posters and owner, to feigning ignorance of the most simple things, such as pinging people when you mention them.
For a new guy, you already seem to have years worth of personal complaints and grudges built up.
And boy do you seem annoyed about FR’s treatment of Rudy Giuliani.
I made a comment,JR responded. and informed that there is no Freedom of Speech here, so my little one your post was totally unnecessary...
I don't see how a person can remember ancient discussions on a website with such clarity, if they're only lurking.
Things that make you go, hmmm....
Actually, it makes your post even funnier. Why would you even SAY ‘so much for freedom of speech’ if you truly knew what it meant and how its applied? Laughable.
Nice summary. No worries. I’m sure the mods can easily sniff a retread.
did you actually read my last post or are you the drama queen...what is Laughable is you my little one
Replies to you, are referred to as 'pings'. A 'ping' is also a notice to a fellow member.
Now, you and I may be talking, and I casually mention Freeper rintense in passing. It's considered good form on this website to 'ping' him to that post, because I mentioned him by name.
Notice at the top of this post that I did that very thing.
Next time you mention someone in a post (especially "the owner"), make sure to ping them to the post.
why am I wasting my time...
No clue. Perhaps reading the Constitution would be of more value.
You're making a juvenile error. Most adults understand that it's wise to get the feel for a group before they begin jumping into conversations with both feet.
Sounds like you need more lurking time before you continue. It'll probably save you a lot of grief from the regulars, too. As a matter of fact, it most definitely will.
;)
Luv ya!
Oh damn, I pinged you again, didn’t I?
Darn pingin finger has a mind of its own .. LOL
Jazusamo says 12 zottings. Just today and yesterday. It’s getting hot around here.
How is someone on "our" side if they support an all the way liberal like Romney or a libertarian profag nutcase Jew hater like RPaul? How are such people on "our" side? Maybe by "our" side you mean something other than conservative?
It’s too often pointless political cannibalism, and represents a loss of opportunity to utilize reason and logic and conservative values in changing minds.
Surely you jest. You're a smart guy, you know full well the difference between someone who is misinformed but willing to learn, and someone who is proseltyzing or disrupting with leftist/RINO/libertarian views. Who exactly are you trying to fool?
