Well, it's been 4 years since I first found Free Republic. I have always felt like I belonged here and have really enjoyed the banter back and forth between us members. I am afraid all this is now over. I am really suprised and shocked at it's suddenness. Before I leave I want to thank a freeper from Michigan who sent me a DVD player last year to give to my kids for Christmas. You reaffirmed my faith in humanity.
I know this thread will be deleted before many people get to read it, but I just can't go without saying a final word. Every since 911 the 'vibe' here at FR has been decidedly hostile. I guess it was a matter of time before the newbie moderator got around to weeding me out for my sometimes unpopular views. So I join the ranks of A+Bert and so many others who gave FR a interesting flavor. I will miss coming here 20 times a day and keeping up on things. But without posting priviledges there is just no point. I must go find another conservative group to try to be a part of.
In the future, when a freeper who has been a loyal member since August 1998 crosses the line, how about a note instead of banning? Would that have been too much? I may have gotten out of line, how is beyond me, but if such a tresspass would have been pointed out I would gladly have refrained from doing so again. It is just not right to just ban an account with no explaination. Especially when the freeper has been here 4 years. I have no idea what I am going to do with my days now that I no longer have FR. Well, I guess I have said my part. It is a sad day when one has to leave family and friends. I feel like some of you were just that. But apparently I am no longer wanted around here. I bid my good day to you all and hope that karma pays it's respects to those who do injustice.
I guess that makes us even,because I can't fathom how anybody's mind could allow them to deny the obvious. Do you REALLY think there won't be more attacks,or that none of them will be successful?
I sleep peacefully. How about you?
Just fine,and my head's not even buried in the sand. Thanks for asking.
Totally agree.
We declared War (March 2, 1815), AND we conducted most of the extra-military hostilities through Letters of Marque and Reprisal.
In other words, the Federal Government took pains to ensure their actions were doubly Constitutional, and that the Letter of the Law was strictly observed at all times.
Seen that kindofa Strict Constructionism lately?
Naw, I won't post the picture But darn it stop making it so easy.
BEEYOUTIFUL!!!!!Thanks for finding that.
The fact that you are impugning the character of a decorated war hero should make you extremely ashamed of yourself. You are dispicable.
Oh, move to the head of the class. You nailed it right there!
I think this issue has been turned inside out and people are just going to have to dissagree and move on.
We REALLY need some new material to blast each other over cause Dubya and padilla have been worn completely out after this thread.
I mean honestly, what else is left to say?
C'mon, Ros... we both know that I was being kind.
Come out and play if you want... but you never win. Heck, you're nothing but an after-dinner dessert for me.
For me to let you go on a typo? Poor Ros... like a compulsive gambler, determined to lose no matter how many times it takes you. I was being generous.
ROTFLMAO. The DOG calling someone else despicable. Well pigs do fly.
I'll listen.
