I just did not know all of this. I had no idea. This FreeRepublic place is worst than radical Islam. Thanks for telling me. Jim Rob was making me kneel down and pray to this place numerous times a day.

You better be careful. They have made a Freep-Phatwa against you. Be afraid. Be very afriad. /s off

One of the board's "First Ladys" has on her profile page something I'm going to pinch *just* for you, only because it's so fitting.

"The first sign of a nervous breakdown is taking yourself too seriously."

Naturally given the degree of *boor* you are, I'd say you're well beyond that first sign, whoeverinthehellyouare.

...& *somewhere* lost in complete madness.

In professional wrestling (and probably other wakls of life), this is known has a "heel turn". Good riddance. Then again, after seeing that green party Google cache of yours, my mind is thinking "disruptor".

Freep-Phatwa

I love it! Did you make that up? It would work great in a tagline.

Jim Rob's blend of conservatism and use as advocacy of George W. Bush to insure that the right thinkers who know how to follow orders stay on board builds an obedience and cohesion to central authority.

Lemme see. You are posting this in your opus. That means you are leaving of your own free will, but also have posted here of your own free will for some time. Which means JimRob has no ability to force you to be here and adhere to his rules, unlike, say, Soviet gulags. You apparently fail to grasp the inherent absurdity in what you are saying.

The Constitution provides for freedom of association - and the same right of the Boy Scouts to exclude gays also extends to JimRob and his right to exclude people from his website that he doesn't want posting here, for whatever reason JimRob wants.

The only fascists I see are the folks who demand that JimRob give them a place on his website in the name of freedom of expression, which in effect obviates the equally important right of freedom of association. If you wish to go somewhere else on the web and post your rants, and the government tries to shut your website down or censor what you are saying, then I'll rise up to defend you. But what JimRob is doing on his site is just as much of a Constitutional right as is your right to express your opinion.

You and what pathetic army?

He means that when Libs get back to power and use the wonderful weapons of Patriot I and Patriot II, Waco massacre will pale with comparison. No accident our thug studies fascism so much.

Understand your point.

This poster has a long history on FR and that is what I was responding to. Plus, his opus was insulting to all FReepers in basically saying that we weren't capable of thinking for ourselves. 'Pod

These are your feeeeeeeeeeeeeelings?

Klamath water rights for farmers issue.

With all due respect for Freepers, Klamath Falls was a big, big issue on the net and on talk radio even without FreeRepublic. You typed in your feeeeeeeeeelings with but one example and it's bogus.

If this doesn't happen, we will crush the FR and remove it like a malignant tumor before it destroys what we collectively hold dear

Speaking for myself and not as a Freeper, I am one who has been waiting for at least four decades for them (New Left pipsqueaks) to try. Bring it on! We have a free press after getting rid of the "fairness doctrine." Free speech is worth shedding blood for. Our free speech, their blood.

Sounds more like a wedgies issue to me. ;)

Thank you for not deleting my account. Do I have your permission to thread parent my thread here? I will go nowhere else.

I will honor your wishes.

JimRob is shrewd, he wishes to influence those in higher office and at the same time remold the electorate into a cohesive force that can roll over any group that gets in it's way in a very unconstitutional fashion.

I Knew it was a conspiracy! It's dark in your world, isn't it.

Ah - the answer to freedom of association is censhorship and the rule of the mob. Who's the fascist, ferret? I used to think you had some redeeming qualities, but seeing you write this, I obviously was wrong. You really need to re-examine your anarchist premises, or at least quit pretending that it's about the Constitution when you would shred the Constitution to shut FR down if you don't like what is being said here.

There is room on the world wide web for lots of forums. There is room for FR and LP. :))) I'll say this though. Jim Robinson and his crew keep this forum amazingly free of kooks, loons, anti-semites, Bush-haters, conspiracy nuts, lefties, and tin-foil hat types.

One of my biggest complaints about LP is that one must spend time deconstructing many of the conspiracy-theorists screeds. I knocked someone out who was claiming that no seismic vibrations (or severely lessened ones) would be felt from the 9/11 airliner strikes, because the dirt tends to absorb the shock.

Well, he asserted that, until I demonstrated that the WTC was anchored in bedrock, that is. :o)

Another had a conspiracist claiming that the WTC was brought down by demolition charges, and produced a video that supposedly showed demo-charge jets preceding the collapse.

I went frame-by-frame and deconstructed his theory.

So, unfortunately, precious time is wasted over there in refuting theories that are counter to which we normally would know is obvious. So that is my number-one complaint about LP.

Oh, and I really don't like the "Bush is a TRAITOR" stuff over there. I cringe every time I read it. He may be flawed, but he's no traitor.

I have no idea what thread parent means.

You are asking my permission? You posted something from a site Jim has blacklisted, you have signed back up after being banned. Several times over.

And now you want to pretend you have any respect for the wishes of the staff or of Jim?
