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"
That would be CAL on the left and the author of your favorite smear on the right.
Good gravy - it's Sunday - the Lord's day. Can't you lay off for 24 hours?
ha!!
And just WHO would you install as benevolent dictator, to do your benighted bidding?
Dream on, keep on hallucinbationg,because that is the only thing you do. You neither understand nor know how politics works.Dream on, because that's all you know about and all you have to hold on to. You aren't any different from the lefties who hate Bush and Kerry;two sides of the same coin,except that the lefties are somewhat more effectual.
I'm a dreadful typer, I miss far more typos than I catch, but making more out of that, than is the case, is childish at best, puerile more like. :-)
Loser with principles are still........losers.
As Senor Cartman would say:
"Screw you guys, I'm going home"
As Señor Wences would say:
"S'OK? S'awright."
THANK YOU! That perfectly encapsulates my feelings about the paleo-protectionist Buchananites, the loony left, the media, etc. They think every complex problem should be resolved in the time it takes to whip up a bag of microwave popcorn.
"What? Iraq isn't as peaceful as Nebraska yet? The economy hasn't yet turned around and created 4 million bubble hi-tech jobs yet? What's taking this guy so long? Time for a new president!"
The ol go after the spelling, typos and grammar thing eh? When all else fails, look for grammar errors, or pull the race card. By the way, I hated English in school, I found it boring as sand, something that made math look interesting. If I was really concerned about it, I'd use spell and grammar check for every post, but I really don't give a damn about it.
I didn't know Beck real well, and probably only posted to him 10 or 20 times in the past couple years, but I sure in hell am not going to join in with the slam fest when there are others here that are obvious leftist socialist and pro-open border types that happen to call themselves Republicans, yet they routinely get the wink and nod. Know what I mean Cultural Jihad?
Was Beck third party supporter? Did he stray from the party line? I don't know. And I don't really care. Some of the things he posted were true. You think he's the only one that sees the Republican party moving left?
If all the people that stray from the party line leave, or get booted, what the hell are you all going to debate?
Since *most* of the non-Republican leftist are banned almost immediately, and others that don't march in party cadence seem to be leaving or get booted, this place could get down right boring, with everyone nodding their heads in unison, while repeating, "I agree".
I would guess things aren't quite right when some of the largest threads are regarding people that left, or posted they are leaving the site or the many other large threads where most everyone seems to be *obsessed* with people going to some other site or what they may be saying.
I fell for that once.
I agree. [nodding head]
Ok, it's a lame bot imitation, but I really do agree. There's some new posters who've taken upon themselves to harass the non-head-nodders. If I were a conspiratorialist I might think they were sent here just to do that.
