Goodbye FR [Mods respond: don't let the door hit your arse on the way out]

[HHKrepublican_2]

I will be leaving FR. I will no longer post here and likely will no longer check the news here either. I began to post here a few years ago with updates on my attempts and eventual success at founding teenage republican clubs across New Jersey and the surrounding area. I used to run a ping list about the invasion of Islam into Europe. I ran an FR-based operation to try to change public opinion about the Iraq war using letters to the editor and "stats" e-mails. It seems however that as soon as I began to indicate that I was supporting Mr. Giuliani for the Presidency all of that was instantly forgotten and I was branded many of the things I'm sure are crossing many people's minds as they read this. I'm leaving before I get kicked off for my own opinions, I'm not a left-winger who comes to attack the website, I'm a conservative that comes to share my opinions, and if this is a place where certain opinions are muted out because some disagree then good-bye. I always thought it was the Democrats who believed that if you silenced people who disagreed with you, what you were saying became true. What a fool I must be.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Well then, it’s been nice knowing you as I’m a HUGE Duncan Hunter fan and have said so openly from Day One.

*sniff*

I’m gone. Outta here. Bye y’all....

[untrained skeptic]

You obviously have not read the responses to a lot of my posts.

I probably have. However, I find it pretty easy to ignore trolls that don't justify their comments. I've gotten some rather unfriendly posts tossed my way when I've disagreed with people on these boards. However, most people you can have a reasonable, if sometimes heated discussion with and explain your views and let them explain theirs.

I think I've even been able to influence other views from time to time. I know other people have influenced mine.

RIP

My tagline says it all for me.

I only come here to check the knews, post to my ping lists but rarely ever comment anymore.

At this point, I will keep my thoughts about whom I like in the election to myself, least I be banned if that Candidate is deemed “unsuitable” at some future date.

If you want to know about Homebrewing, be put on the Ann Coulter list or something else safe, I will discuss it.

But thats it.

Cheers,

BUMP.

“Stick with us...we will all come together once a winner emerges to beat the bi... itch. “

I hope so...but have you noticed the posts indicating how happy some will be if Hillary wins it all, so they can “teach the Republicans a lesson”? “Enemy at my throat instead of my back”, etc. MAROONS

1. How thin a skin do you have?

2. So who and how are people “silencing you?”

****

It has nothing to do with thin skin it has to do with decency.

This is no way to treat your fellowman just because one does not get their own way!

We as republican should be a light for good, let it shine on those who want to continue to march this nation into darkness, when we become liken them by copying their demeanor how than do we differed!

Our nature seems to be emulating our opposition which is contrary to that which our Lord has showed and taught us how to treat one another!

We can still disagree without being unkind.

John 13: 34-35

34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

[Ramius]

I would encourage you to come back just after the election to watch the carnage. It should be quite a spectacle, and one of the few reasons I’m sticking around. We’ve already lost so many good and longtime freepers that it’s hard to recognize the place anymore. It’s just not the same.

There’s a pretty good chance that Rudy will be elected, and if so, FR is going to pretty much self-destruct over it.

Not to mention the back-biting and blame-laying if it turns out that Hillary wins.

[Jim Robinson]

So am I. Save me a seat on the bus.

[Shimmer]

Thank you friend, but I’ll decide for myself. It pleases me to be here.

[Cindy]

Thank you for your feedback dbacks.

Interesting that one of the few things that a person might have reservations about discussing on this political website is politics.

For instance I, for one, am personally opposed to abortion. But I am far more opposed to a government that thinks it is it’s right or duty to regulate the lives and private parts of women.
I love the way people talk about smaller, limited, less intrusive government unless it has anything to do with their own personal hot spot.
Abortion is a moral issue. It is a family issue. It is a religious and social issue.

But it is not a matter of law.

Rudy, imho, is not ready to be president. The rest of America is not just an extension of the five boroughs.
He would, however, be a good veep choice, and steal alot of votes from the Hildebeast.

I understand your frustration. Probably take fewer than ten more posts for somebody to call me a murderer.

[Kevmo]

I have a list on my homepage of nuts I don’t post replies to.

***Is that becoming a common thing? I noticed nopardons was on your list, she was banned a while ago. She was the first one to say this:

“Do not post to me”

“I began to indicate that I was supporting Mr. Giuliani for the Presidency...”

Sorry, pal, if you support rg, you’re not a conservative.
Bye.

[stylecouncilor]

I love the dopes that have to announce they are leaving. “Please oh, please notice me.” LOL!

[sevenbak]

if Duncan could muster any numbers, I would be behind him 110 percent. Of all the candidates, his record most reflects my own views. FR used to be all about Duncan, now it’s all about Fred. If Fred ends up tanking, who is next? Whom is good enought to discuss freely and whom is not?

[PAR35]

Wide Awakes purged their Rooty Tooties, too. It’s a Romney Fan Club now.

I didn't know that. I thought that was their 'raison d'etre'. Shows how well I'm keeping up with things.

Romneyites seem welcome enough around here. Where did Julie Annie's fans end up? DU? The 700 Club?

[PAR35]

If Fred ends up tanking, who is next?

In my case, the candidate most likely to stop Rudy.

[Duke Nukum]

Wow! I didn’t even know you were here. And now you’re gone.

Personal impact to me = 0.

Hmmm....

[roses of sharon]

Thanks for all your activism, not enough of us do that and it shows.

Hope we will see you again soon!

[Dog Gone]

I've made my choice....Duncan Hunter.

If he's not on the ticket, I will write him in.

Which is the same thing as not voting, but it makes you feeeeeeeeeeel good.
