Jim -
I have considered you a friend for years and still do.
I have posted to you at length recently about the current state of Free Republic. This I have done in the spirit of loyal opposition. Nothing I have posted to you is “nasty” or “vile”. Critical, yes, but not nasty or vile.
I won’t repeat these discussions here. Anyone who wants to know my opinions can search on my handle. I stand behind everything I’ve written.
I have received numerous messages of support for my analysis of the current state of affairs here, both publicly and privately. I have received plenty of criticism as well. I post what I think is true and important and good for conservatism, and let the chips fall where they may.
I have no need or desire to post an opus. I have no intention of leaving. If you told me you were going to close my account tomorrow, I would post no opus today. I think the whole opus genre is kind of silly.
I will continue to post what I consider to be honest and worthwhile posts in support of conservatism. If you find that my idea of conservatism (which includes being critical of other posts when I find them to be unreasonable, untrue, or otherwise not in keeping with conservative principles) is incompatible with your vision for Free Republic, then you know where the zot button is.
“I have considered you a friend for years and still do.”
Because calling him “Rim Job” is nothing but love huh?
Sounds reasonable to me ... :-)
Well how pompous of you!! it just proves you think it's ALL about you and what you think Anyone who wants to know my opinions can search.. LOL!!! Get over yourself!
what I consider to be honest and worthwhile ... in support of conservatism.
Sounds like something mitt would say - not what is honest but what THE LIAR considers to be honest...like he's a conservative!! And worthwhile to mitt alone! LIE about conservatives that get in his evil liberal way to deceive others - that was worthwhile his four years of trashing and MILLIONS spent on attack ads about PATRIOTS with PROVEN PRO AMERICAN accomplishments and mitt has NONE but anti-American anti God accomplishments.
Why how simply magnanimous of you.
You the true blue conservative will lectures us with words of encouragement and edification because you and you alone know what true conservatives are or should be.
Words like: liar, delusional, drunk, insane, stupid, hater...
Phrases like: you are a democrat operative, campaigning for obama, you are a hater, what is wrong with you....
I want to thank you for your training.
