Why I'm Leaving Free Republic
PcTech

Posted on 04/10/2009 6:10:22 PM PDT by pctech

I am leaving Free Republic. After I post this message I will not come back and most likely ask the moderator to remove my account.

You may ask why. Today I posted a copy of a letter I received from an anti-terrorism officer in the United States Air Force. It was received through official channels but was not classified or top secret and I was granted permission to share it. It was an article concerning the possibility of a terrorist attack on American soil and it was pulled because, and I quote "Proven incorrect on snopes."

This is one time I am disagreeing with the moderator and his/her decision to pull the thread. This information was verified through official military channels and was supposed to help warn us to the imminent danger our country is in.

Instead, the moderator exercised, I felt, a lapse in judgment when he (or she) pulled the article that is in need of being disseminated. And this isn't the first time this has been done by moderators on Free Republic. While Free Republic has stood for conservative and GOP values it has also neglected it's responsibility to see that the information of the type I tried to share gets out. Instead they say it can't be verified and could be wild speculation (though I told them it was verified through official military channels) and pulled it even though I asked them not to.

So, I am saying goodbye. It was fun and I will treasure the friends I have made here on FR. Good luck to you all.

Right now, there’s no where else I’d rather be.

E-mails going around about Ed, a war hero (he was) passing away “last Wednesday”, while the MSM was all about some punk rapper beating his girlfriend half to death, ignoring the story about a real American hero (he was) and his passing.

Ed died on a Wednesday. In August of 2008.

You said — I don’t think the USA will soon be attacked, because with Barry as President we are now Dar al Islam. Unlike Rush Limbaugh, The Islamic world wants Barry to succeed.

If you want to see a “really busy Presidency” (in terms of fighting and attacking and being attacked) — take a look at my list I compiled today and look for Reagan’s name... LOL...

Thanks for the info. I jealously guard my usual email addy - even from friends. Here on FR, I usually don’t get FReepmail unless somebody wants to send a death threat or ask me to explain what the hell I meant in some post. Other than that, I’m a fly on the wall.

"...why don’t you simply post the article as a comment and stick around for the fun?"

Or post in his ABOUT page....the Mods would never notice.

Snopes is not infallible (far from it); only God is infallible.

Snopes sucks because the people that run the site have an agenda. And it is not a conservative agenda.
