A few days ago, the esteeemed host and founder of this foremerly great website invited me to do the following:
"654. To: JohnGaltfla (#367)
Oh, it's much better to go out in a blaze of glory. Martyrdom, 72 virgins, plaque on the "Great Ones" wall of fame and all that rot.

Obviously, he was concerned that some of his better non-bot posters had abandoned FR for greener fields where our financial and intellectual contributions would be appreciated. It was amusing to watch former FReepers belittle, banter and blast JimRob in various forms.
I was wrong.
FR has changed.
Deal with that fact boys and girls.
Many of us grew up in a more conservative era, where our nation and our freedoms were first and foremost. Now we learn that it that is not the case. Principles are for losers according to the Bots and most of the ignorant posters here on FR. To create noise and call those of us who have been loyal to the conservative cause such creative and wonderful names as "Soros lovers", "Mobyites", "communists"(now that's a good one for those of us who have been overseas staring at AK-47's), "DUers" and names which are forbidden for me to mention but ok for the Bushbots.
The noise has driven off many of the best posters from this site. Now FR has become the Fluff of the RNC, posting such creative threads as "Pray for President Bush - Day 1276", "The Economy (Freep this poll)", " FReeper After Actions", "After Action Freep A.N.S.W.E.R. AUSTIN TX 3/20/04", etc...
It sounds more to me like everyone is proud of responding but no one has the convictions excpet for what the RNC faxes them. This election should not be about "Republican" v. "Democrat" principles. Neither party has any principles. If you morons believe that, then you are bigger fools than I thought. This is about the future of America an the viability of capitalism in this nation.
Why "FReepers" can not see this and hold "their man" to the Hamiltonian principles of limited Federal government and enhancing our freedoms by reducing dependency on any government. By controlling immigration, restructuring the tax system to pre-1916 form, and by enhancing the defense of this nation by using actions instead of words when dealing with foreign powers (little things, like enforcing the acts against nations which do business with Cuba, as Bush promised in 2000). Unfortunately you mind numbed morons don't care. If you're 401K shows a fiat currency positive figure, you're all happy as a fly in a cow pasture.
Go for it.
As Senor Cartman would say:
"Screw you guys, I'm going home"
Quite telling are all the "yeah Phil" responses to your post. It is clear that the posters on this thread are going to vote for Bush and posters at DU are going to vote for Kerry. It is also clear to me and many others that the personal attacks and destructobot politics will pull a lot of sympathy votes in Kerry's direction.
It's the voters in the middle who matter. Those voters are going to be convinced on personality and the many negatives postings here will tend to impart a negative impression onto Bush (i.e. he's an attacker).
Case in point: I posted this on another thread and was attacked by one newbie bushbot as a Kerry supporter. You've got people like that on your side. You've also got me on your side. But you won't get me and others to post constructively if we get mindlessly attacked for it.
ethnic remark. ethnic remark?
seems you're trying to distance yourself from the historically spineless. that's precious.
Yeah Phil!
Attaboy!
Not attacking you, of course - but I can't figure out why that poster did not subject you to the same treatment that ShadowDancer was subjected to.
Well, I understand about Tripod ! I hate it when I see their unfriendly notes too ...
HI ONYX
But I didn't find one!
Oh, no. Of course not. It's only name-calling when they're on the receiving end. They can fling anything they want, no matter how personal. And even if they start it, it's your fault. Got it? ; )
Thanks.
Is that two humps or four?
What's the matter, dear, have to steal other's words, because you can't think of any on your own. That parroting is so juvenile, as to be laughable;e. I thought that you were better than that;obviously, I was quite wrong.
And as far as "spoilers" go, If I could do anything to spoil the plans of Republicans and Democrats to destroy the county and my freedom, I would do it.
Now go back to licking your master's boots.
As if the outcome of the whole general election hinges on what is read on this insignificant thread.
