And another thing - great idea to post a link to all the threads!
I get along fine with 95 percent of the people here. And there are plenty of people just like me who don't post because they don't want to listen to the rantings of the unappeasables.
I just don't back down, and that really upsets some people.
Sean, please give our regards to your "very good friend" Charlie Rangle....
"Once she's been fully Hannitized, then she might be ready for Free Republic. But if I were to have sent her here in the first place, I don't think she could have handled it."
That's kinda funny. I have noticed a change on this forum of late. This is more of a Republican forum than a Conservative one. Of course there are quite a number of Conservatives, they don't seem to be in the majority.
When people think confiscating property by imminent domain is a good thing, and when they argue over what kind of tax increases are best, something is wrong.
Not pointing any fingers at you. Just an observation.
Not too many people here argue much about imminent domain. A lot of us aren't too happy about eminent domain though.
As for me calling Hannity," a little Pixie", I am sure Hannity can overcome it. I mean Hannity said much worse about Free Republic.
Thanks. I've had the flu all week. Took just about all I had in me to post that. Going back to bed.
I just would prefer to see more "reasoned discourse" and have fewer threads turn into pissing contests.
Get well soon my friend, and I mean it sincerely! God bless you.
No, I never pig-tied my hubby.
Hey, the election is over, we're bored; it'll get back to normal soon. :-)
You are a truly good guy to start this "thank you" thread to Sean, and I can appreciate why would want to be nice to someone who has been around for a long time---
But, you have to be just a little disappointed that he slammed the site on a national radio program with the resulting negative publicity?
I mean, you and the other moderators work very hard to keep this site from becoming even close to the garbage that goes on over at DU, but instead of credit, your site gets slammed.
I, for one, am disappointed BECAUSE of what Free Republic means to me---and by natural extension, you, because it is your baby...
...comments about FR in general, and JR in particular, he used to still does post on other forums. Really ugly stuff.
I had a little dust up with him just before he left for good. He is a good word manipulator; he can say something that looks nice and fuzzy (kinda like a sabre-Tigger) but is a sneaky little dig.
Some one posted a link to one of his present Internet homes, and I see he still has the same indefensible defense. But many still fawn over him.
You're not Sean Hannity are you? Sounds like something he would say to himself in the mirror.
That right there, the FAWNING, is my basic problem with talk radio icons.
The same with internet iconettes, like Sabre.
"I'm gonna tune in and listen to the SMART feller talk" is just not something I can fathom.
I bet if you did, you would get a free book.
I agree with him that a lot of good posters have left. Not all of them; there are still a lot of good posters here.
But, some of the ones I remember best from my time here (registered in 2000) are gone.
Gotta agree.
Sean's doing a great job.
Let's aim our fire at the other side, and stop shooting our own troops.
Have a great night.
