Apparently this never got posted here because of the limitations of probation, so here you go:
So...here we are...18 years. Mostly good. Clintons a Liar, Dr Raouls costumes, AppyPappy's daughter singing the National Anthem, Kristinns wonderful reporting. The repugnant lies of Classy Green Eyed Blonde and DeepInTheHurtgenForest. The surreal cryptic posts of quidam. The lib trolls like Eschoir. The March for Justice? Heady times. They really were. Fighting against a President who had the gall to look us in the eye and lie to us.
But the last 9 months? Absolutely unrecognizable. A lot of great FReepers run off. And most of the ones doing the chasing have no idea of any of those people or events that I referenced above, have no idea of FR's history.
And for what? A two bit carnival barker who has backed every liberal cause that crosses his path. A man who is the very embodiment of a crass know-it-all liberal New Yorker. A man who has spent his life supporting everything that, at its founding, this website has fought against tooth and nail.
I get it. Y'all want to win. You want someone who will stick a shiv in the GOP. I want the GOP gutted too. They are lowlife scum who are selling us down the river. But, for some of you, your desire for revenge is being invested in a man who has lived his life with values completely antithetical to your own, completely antithetical to the constitution you once said you revered. And for the rest of you, you're probably hack trolls and faux conservatives who wouldn't know a conservative value if it walked up and kicked you in the ass. There have actually been some "conservatives" on this site who were A-ok with Trump becoming a dictator...as long as he's their dictator (true statement...look it up).
Another former long time FReeper has been banned for having the temerity to post Jim's OWN WORDS where he highlighted what a disaster Donald Trump is. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2706770/posts?page=109#109)
Every time someone has the guts to espouse a point of view that is contrary to St. Trump, they are set upon and the calls for banning ensue. And yet no one, including JR, will ever answer the question....what has he actually DONE that caused you to reverse your opinion of him?
And I know...the trumpeters are now going to wail and gnash their teeth saying they were set upon first...that all the bannings were justified. Those mean old Cruzers were making the poor Trumpeter snowflakes MELT!!!! Perhaps take a step back from the kindergarten playground arguments and face things head on. In my own case, I challenge anyone reading this to go back and find my offensive posts. I will tell you what you will find: I used the word trumpeters....sorry, it's shorter than writing "trump supporters" every time. And you will find the occasion when I called dynoman a troll because, rather than answer a question about Trump, he would snarkily post more of his ridiculous pictures. And in point of fact, ultimately he recognized that he WAS trolling and we then engaged in a conversation. And you will find over and over and over again my appeal for someone, anyone to tell me what Trump has ever DONE in his nearly 70 years on the planet that shows he has a sincerely held conservative belief. Keyword is DONE. I get lots and lots of excuses, was even told to "watch The Apprentice, then you'll see". That's it. (For the record, none of you has answered the question....not one).
So what caused my banning after 18 years? I told Jim that I thought he was going to regret his backing of the charlatan and that he was abdicating the principles upon which FREE Republic had fought for. Apparently FREE means something different once the Trump worship kicks in? Meanwhile disgusting pieces of human refuse like GPH can post things like this about another long standing FReeper and somehow doesn't get banned:
"2ndDivisionVet is a pathological liar and moral degenerate." -GPH
And right now all of you sycophants are sputtering, "but it's Jim's site." Um, no it's not. It belongs to everyone who has posted and reveled in the FREE exchange and discussion of beliefs. If Jim fell over dead tomorrow, the idea that WAS Free Republic would continue. Free Republic was about an idea that we can win when we advance conservative, constitutional ideals...an idea that has been profoundly corrupted and abandoned here. Jim is just another man who puts his pants on one leg at a time. And like all men he can be wrong...and holy crap, go back and read the archives and see how far this site has fallen....he's wrong.
And in the meantime, every manner of despicable attack on staunch conservatives has been lauded and encouraged. Everyone of you who claims to be a conservative and aren't just here shilling should be ashamed of yourselves (it's just a job, right BFAC, you liberal hack? Oh and for the record, drop the pretense....you aren't black, and the closest you've ever been to being an army captain is you saw one in a movie once...rumor has it the female part might be true though, right Pamela?). All of YOU are the reason the country is slipping away. Yes, you! You place such low value on your alleged principles, the ones you've been thumping your chests about these many years, that you will cast them all aside for the guy who whispers sweet nothings in your ear that, "yes, he will still love you in the morning". In case you still languish under your misguided delusions, here's some reality for you: there will be no wall...there will be no conservative Supreme Court justices (don't hand me any BS about that list "he" posted, there were so many disclaimers thrown in there as to render it meaningless)...there will be no gutting of the GOP....instead there will be deal after deal after deal. He has no principles so he will have no second thoughts whatsoever about selling those things down the river. Enjoy your art of the deal. As I believe liberalism to be the cause of all that ails my beloved country, whose uniform I was proud to wear, I vowed to never vote for a liberal. Donald Trump's lifelong actions show him to be just another lowlife scum liberal....truly: #NeverTrump, #NeverHillary...I will not blindly vote for one liberal statist over another liberal statist.
And I know, now you will all post your snarky little comments, reveling in your self perceived superiority and the echo chamber that Free Republic has become. Enjoy it. It will be fleeting. Because, in your arrogance and desire for revenge all you have done is condemn all of us and our posterity to a post-Constitutional America. May our posterity forget you were our countrymen and may your chains be a millstone.
When the choice comes down to that you have to pick the one who is better for our country.
I don't think of it as voting for the lesser of two evils I think of it as voting for the evil of two lessers.
We know Hillary is going to further weaken this country as Obama did.
There is hope Trump will make changes for the better.
There is no hope Hillary will make this a better country.
That is why I will vote for Trump. -Tom
Were you banned or suspended to cool your jets?

No ‘snarky retort’ here, Axeslinger.
Goodbye.. and I wish you well.

AMF!
Trump is a raging social liberal but the media will stay on top of him.
If Hillary gets in, there will be NO oversight. She will be able to silence dissension. Obama wanted to do it but he wasn’t evil enough. Hillary is top-drawer, “the really good stuff behind the bar” evil.
Thank you for your service. Pay attention to how things improve and come back and tell us how wrong you were.g
We’re quickly heading for the waterfall, and Trump is the rock, that at least will allow us to get rescued.
Sanctimonious ass.
Didnt bother to read the whole thing. Why bother since it’s the same unoriginal boo-hooing that the others barfed out.
And BTW, I've been here since the start too...and longevity doesn't buy any more cred than anything else.
Pissant, crybaby, GOPe jackboot licker...again, good riddance. Despite the fact that it is currently a bloodless revolution, it is a revolution nonetheless, and there will be casualties. Summer soldiers such as "axeslinger" will be forgotten quickly.
Name a SINGLE candidate who checked every single pet-peeve “Conservative” position.
You won’t find one. There is a flaw with EVERY candidate.
You go with the best you can, and in this case it means Trump. Small Government, self-reliance, grow the economy. Get those first three right, the rest of the “conservative” platform (whatever that really is) will fall into place.
Don’t care.
well, windbag, I’ll tell you why I’m backing Trump; because he is opposing the Obama/Clinton cabal that is dead set on destroying the America we’ve all grown up to love...
succinct enough, Your Gasiness...?
It was God Bless America. She’s a raging liberal LGBT feminist now. And I love her even more. At least she isn’t apathetic.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My mother, aged 95, who passed away this past December was a Roosevelt democrat. Of course I loved her anyway. Love transcends politics every time.
God bless you and your family. (Including your daughter)
“It’s all about meeeeee”
Get over yourself. Good grief. When the bulk of FR is headed in the other direction there is a small chance that you’re dumber than the herd. And say hi to Glenn Beck for us.
Get this through your myopic head, jackass; your "questions" have been answered ad nauseum! Your only grievance is you didn't get the predetermined answers you expected by assuming you get to frame the debate.
We're sick of dealing with your type, and have little enough patience left to grant you anything but scorn and derision.
Trump has completely rewritten the establishment's campaign rule book, and you have the temerity to ask "what's he DONE!"
You are playing the "Silverado" part of the witless deputy telling the Sheriff "come on, he's not hitting anything." To which we rightly reply "You idiot, he's hit everything he's aimed at!"
I wonder everyday what I would have done if I were in your shoes. Split FR in half? That would have retained FReepers but enhanced the war. No easy answers, here. I thought Unity would get us through this as late as April 1. But it has to be a two-way street, which is impossible. Now I understand the philosophy in the South of never discussing sex, religion or politics.
My favorite: “And for the rest of you, you’re probably hack trolls and faux conservatives who wouldn’t know a conservative value if it walked up and kicked you in the ass. “
So true.
Gosh, I never realized Free Republic had that much power. Zotting a bunch of nasty people caused the Cruz campaign to implode, and allowed Trump to amass more votes than any other primary candidate in history. Absolutely amazing!
