As Jim says, "FReepers are the greatest." Ironically, they deserve better than what he would inflict on them.

I dare you to zot this one, my bet is that you don't have the nerve to. ;-)

It's been fun all these years, my best wishes and love to you all. Warm Regards, Mike McCarthy, (AKA 'ferret,' my original FReeper account name)

LEFTIST TROLL!

I feel better now.

FR's approach to politics is both populist--in that it seeks to activate "the people" as a whole against perceived oppressors or enemies - and elitist - in that it treats the people's will as embodied in a select group, or often one prime iconic leader whose authority flows downward only. FR, in typical Fascist style seeks to organize a cadre-led mass movement in a drive to seize state power. It seeks to forcibly subordinate all spheres of society to its ideological vision of what a community is, and the end result of their game is totalitarianism, pure and simple.

Ferret, I used to love when you posted back a few years ago. You made some sense back then. Sadly it has become apparent you have spent far to much time eating the mushrooms. Go to detox and clean up your act.

Oooooo-kay.

I have been here since 1998. I hate he egos of the people who just won't go quietly. Get lost!

What Dia-tribe do you belong to ?...

Get a mirror your feathers are askew and you're face paint is smeared.. you appear to be a mess.. the women and horses are laughing at you..

As it says in my High School yearbook..

"I didnt know you very well(in fact I dont know you at all) (in fact I never even heard of you) and now its time to say goodbye....well I cant say I will miss you as I never even knew you, and its hard to say goodbye or good luck on any of that other phony stuff, so I wont say anything,in fact I wont even acknowledge your existance as for all I know it never really happened"

[Bush2000]

You're in the wrong place. FR celebrates the spirit of the individual -- not the collectivist, we-know-better-than-you, let's-sacrifice-human-enterprise-for-eco-pacifism, tax-us-until-we-level-the-playing-field, discrimination-in-the-name-of-diversity-is-fair, killing-babies-is-a-choice, let's-kneecap-society-because-somebody's-feewings-got-hurt, make-bread-not-bombs, guns-not-people-commit-crimes, etc, etc.

witch hunt for any and all "untrue thinkers,"

anyone who does not believe Bush will be the next President will be burned alive

I bet you are one of those fools that thinks Hitler was a fascist, but not a socialist or marxist.

Fascism is not compatible with conservatism, and individualism is not moral decay, but rather its opposite.

Good Riddance,

Sorry I tuned this out when I saw the word facism. People on the left I don't think have any concept of what facism is and the continual attachment of this the American conservative agenda reflects a profound ignorance of history. You do have facism in European politics, but ironically enough most on the left want the U.S. to be more like Europe politically. I for one don't and I think the left continues to do a disservice to people in this country by throwing around facism in order to tear people apart. It is sad that on the birthday of one of our countries greatest minds, James Madison, that there is such profound ignorance of the still truly unique political opportunity that our system presents us with.

Bye!

My eyes are glazing over. Lots of words.

[GigaDittos]

"They reject the liberal doctrines of individual autonomy and rights, political pluralism, and representative government, yet it advocates broad popular participation in politics and may use parliamentary channels in its drive to power."

Hehahehehahah, liberalism embraces none of these. What the hell are you talking about? Liberalism wants no individualism whatsoever, nor does it believe in true representative government, unless it represents the minority few.

I've always had a question about / for people who Opus . Honestly , why not just bail out of the door gunner hatch instead of making a production out of it ?
It's just a website Ferret . Either stay and choose your associations carefully or just bail . I'll see you over at LP .

[Quix]

I don't think nor detect that you have a clue

--really--

NOT A CLUE

to Jim's heart

nor to his list of significant motives regarding our Republic and FR.

He has made his views and convictions clear in multiple posts over the years. Any discerning, psychologically, philosophically, socially awake, alert person with even a below average IQ should have been able to have discerned accurately Jim's motives, heart, attitudes regarding our Republic, conservatism, The Constitution, values, family life, fairness etc.

about 1,000% better than you seem to have.

My only explanation is that your own biases have neutered whatever logica circuits you may have been born with.

Jim represents one of the relatively few significant voices of reason trying to plug the increasing holes in the dike as society and history as we have known them descend into the black times described so vividly for our era in The Bible--as the globalists eagerly set up the Anti-Christ's world government--with Shrillery et al grasping for whatever power slots they can, ahead of time.

If you want to defend THAT group,

then there really is nothing else to say.

[RightWhale]

That's funny: FReepers as fascists. I have often thought of some of the Liberals as fascistic. Those who wish to control industry and even climate through environmental regulation are fascistic. Those who wish to control speech, e.g., the politically correct speech crowd, all Liberals, are fascistic. Post-individualists, all Liberal, are fascistic. Anti-theorists, all Liberal, are fascistic. Great fun--labeling.

Reminds me, I've gotta get back to writing my opus.

[Publius6961]

Why would I bother to read more than half a sentence from a MENSA graduate who can't even get a handle on a concept as simple as "facism"?
