Re:"know thy enemy"

We know our enemy. We have their messege blared at us 24/7 through NBCCBSMSNBCCNNNYT and other liberal media outlets. Both you and I are completly free to "know our enemy" by opening a second browser window and read, understand respond to, research, and discuss the issues at hand on countless other web sites.

This haven of conservative disscourse, this oasis of proud Republican think, this outland of outlandish punditry should be cherrished and not wattered down with an egenda set by 13 year old DUers wanting to stear the agenda toward
"Gardening is murder: discuss"
"SUVs at my homework: discuss"
"Why won't my mom stay out of my room: discuss"
"Anarchy as a lifestyle: discuss"

This kind of thing would not only drive away the truley intelectual readership of this fine forum, but would reduce this into little more than a cross-linking-cross-posting-cut-and-paste-apaloosa where every other reply is, in effect, a plug for 'liberaldrivel.blah'

No thanks !

Sorry, my bad - the names are easy to confuse.

The decision's by the Moderators, is a lot like the decisions made by umps and refrees-nearly every time you slow down the action and really study the replay-they made the right call. Even when they occasionally make a bum call, they are still the voice of authority-someone has to have the final word, or there would be nothing but chaos.

Don't get the idea that you are being picked on, or singled out. There are few old timers here, who post regularly, or respond to posts by others, that have not once of many times, been flamed, had a post pulled or had their posting priviliges suspended for a while-some permanently.

All web sites have rules and regulations. If you find Free Republic as special as most of us do-learn the rules well, respect the authority of the Owner, JIm Robinson and his Moderators.

Newspaper Editors don't publish every letter they rtecieve either.

Freegards,

What say, we find another thread to hijack...I haven't gotten into trouble for awhile.

Go easy on the Newbie, Jim. He's probably not into solid food yet.

You're not precisely an all-war veteran, either

Well, this past March marked my fifth year as a registered Freeper. I came here after tiring of the alt.fan.rush-limbaugh USENET group and the constant scatological suggestions from people on both sides of debate.

Something that I have learned over the years is that there are too many different types of people here to expect things to go exactly the way you want them to.

I have seen many folks whose opinions and talent I greatly admire fade from FR after strong disagreements with JimRob or the moderators (Clarity, BluesDuke, and, most tragically, Clinton's a Liar). Others have, in essence, walked across a wooden bridge dragging an open gas can, set the bridge on fire, and stood on the other side waving an extended middle finger (DonMorgan, Jack Thompson, Trixie [bka Lucianne Goldberg]).

Free Republic is probably more ideologically diverse now than it was four years ago, yet its influence as a voice for the right-of-center is greater than ever. While the name of the site was rarely revealed when making reference to the protests and events like 1998's March For Justice rally in favor of impeaching Clinton, now one of the Dixie Chicks' PR people blames the backlash against the trio solely on this site, which -- if you believe that -- is a HUGE deal. On top of that, this past weekend's brilliantly conceived Garofolo Awards ceremony got a lot of mainstream play, much of it specifically mentioning FR.

There are times when I felt like I didn't want to sign on anymore, but there are too durn many crazy things going on in this world, and too few places that are safe for a straight, black, right-of-center San Franciscan to express his opinion.

I guess what I am trying to say is, learn the rules, and don't go nuts. If you run off and think you will find a much better place, happy hunting, but I don't think you will find it.

Just say something about some French people in a chat room, and a General Protection Fault.

The only thing I did was to post the half-baked arguments of some liberal dimbulb, so everybody can hopefully have a laugh, and I get rewarded by getting my post pulled???

This has happened to me twice, and I think I'm not endorsing what tha person ranted about the president.

Did the half-baked arguments warrant a new thread, or could it have been posted in a comment on a related existing thread? There have been a lot of pointless threads along the lines of "Look what this idiot at lame-leftist-site.com said about the president" or "Can you believe what Doofus Dimwit just said on ABCNNBCBS news just said?", etc. Such threads are often pulled as a waste of bandwidth.

Sorry....we don't do threesomes.
