Looks like the TxGator clown is back from his FR “ vacation”….question is, was he suspended from FR like last time? Even his “ second” has been noticeably absent for two weeks.

They missed a lot of Socrates alerts….good to see the clowns are back.

A summary of Free Republic / media editorial positions, taken as a whole:

1) Russia is weak and is losing the war in Ukraine, AND Russia is strong and will invade Western Europe because it is so strong.

2) The European Union is a peace-oriented political entity promoting democracy, AND the EU is de-legitimizing opposition parties in many European nations based on "Russia! Russia! Russia! ( Alternatively, fascism! Fascism! Fascism! This includes Britain, under Labour, which wants to rejoin the EU. )

3) The EU will stop buying Russian oil and energy products by the end of 2027, because buying supports the war, AND the EU is not supporting the war, by buying Russian energy and other products.

4) The EU and NATO ( other than the US ) are strong militarily, AND The EU won't ally formally with Ukraine unless the United States goes with them.

5) The EU as well as China, India and other nations all have used the previous lack of tariff controls under US Democrats to profit from the United States, AND the EU is our ally, not our global competitor.

6) These United States, which continues imports of Russia materials to this day. is not supporting Russia by buying Russian products, AND is supporting Russia by buying Russian products.

7) Attacking Russia with nuclear weapons is appropriate ( Speedy and Adorno as examples ) AND attacking Russia with nuclear weapons is folly.

Many other such doublethink is ongoing. One recalls:

“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself -- that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.”
