Is this your opus?
How? First you go after the person most identified with the tea party, Governor Palin, and now you say that freerepublic distorts the tea party.
How is the tea party distorted here?
Don’t leave man. We need more people to read the next 37 protestant vs. catholic threads.
Dear Aft_Lizard:
I am a full bore SP supporter (check my posting history if you wish), but speaking for myself , your consideration of her from a historical perspective is one that true conservatives can accept as within the pale of honest conservative opinion. I’d like to think that SP herself would be the first to say that the cause is bigger. It was President Reagan who said that we can get a lot done if we don’t care who gets the credit.
Besides blaming Obama, we can also blame the GOPe for forcing Romney on us, creating an environment of suspicion.
Of course anyone. who puts his life on the line honorably for his country deserves thanks and recognition. You also deserve thanks and recognition for your honorable service as an active citizen.
You get to choose how you spend your time, emotional energy and money in doing that.
Shut up and get back to posting.
You’re better than that and a much stronger person than most.
You just a little validation and sucking up to.
Stay around. The water’s nice and so are 99% of posters here.
I would better than Alaska Wolf but, someone finally had the good sense to banish his childish and impudent attitude.
Ping me if someone is treating you ....????
Well, don’t ping me but, I’d hear you out.
Heck, the other day I disagreed with a poster and I know the guy personally.
I didn’t make my disagreement personal and that is where we should all draw the line.
Argue the merits of one’s position but, have respect for one another’s point of view as well.
Sometimes we learn later, if only by influence, that we should be more informed on a subject or maybe we weren’t looking at a certain subject in the same light we now do.
So, someone excoriated you for not think Sarah Palin is more consequential than other GOP women.
I took some good hits on Christinne O’Donnell after another poster here made it clear he was obsessed with her.
Guy’s a lunatic, plain and simple but, he made up lie about what I said and for that I pulled my support.
I don’t think he ever got over it but, he was, in fact, a liar. I proved it and he never, ever backed down from his false assertion.
If someone is bullying you, they are dealt with in the same manner as all bullies who get an attitude adjustment:
“You deal with them now and forcefully. Lest they continue their warped idea that you are victim and continue to target you”.
So, vent. Vent away but, I like your posts and maybe now is a good time to take a break from this obsession of ours and clear your head.
I know I’ve taken a break over the last month and I needed it.
This place is addicting.
So, piss off....
LOL :-)
Just messing with you....
Why fellow Arizonan?
Thank you for your service to our country.
God bless you and I for one will welcome you back someday if you wish to return.
First let me thank you for your service.
No reason to leave the site after 10 years. I think everyone gets Freeper Fatigue from time to time, lol.
Myself, I usually avoid threads that I know are going to be contentious.
Sometimes things can turn on a dime and change mid-thread. And sometimes I just get crazy and get in an on-line “discussion” about something I know is going to invite a name calling fest because it is something I believe in. But I kinda expect the brutality that I know is coming my way.
Bottom line is...who cares? At our roots, we agree about the basics. If we sat down for a cup of coffee with the folks we disagree with it would all be good (sometimes, lol).
In before George Soros Obsessives!
Stick around Bro.
I hope you stay and thanks for your service.
There’s plenty of people who could care less about Palin, but as my father said, there’s a time and place for everything, and this place ain’t that place to say that...
Don’t be a “dumbie”.
Just take a vacation.
I don’t care for Sarah Palin either.
Bye.
Why not just avoid the threads/posters that irritate you? That’s what I do.
Unless you are the one who constantly brings up Palin in a contentious way and then gets irritated if people defend her.
I love her to pieces (I’m a facebook fan even) but honestly I haven’t read a word about her here in months. Not that there haven’t been things to read, but I just haven’t read them.
Why quit over Palin of all things? She is not running anything now, she is not running for President again. She is a conservative semi-celebrity that does nature shows and occasionally releases commentary on political events. Plenty of conservatives can’t stand her just like, virtually any other conservative personality.
Anyways, thank you for your service. One honest soldier is worth 100 politicians.
jUST TAKE A BREATHER....I am a fan of palin, but have many times here expressed my reservations about her ability to go beyond the very conservative base, and some of her choices i did not agree with, and yeah I got slammed.
A lot of the comments are BLOVIATING, but either I am in the mood to respond to stupid stuff, or I let it roll. You can get burned out here, so take a break.
