If you don't think Democrats are posting here, pretending to be anti-Bush by posing as conservative purists, you haven't been paying attention.
Ivan! Please don't go. I do realize we are sometimes seperated by a common language. We will be much less for having lost your keen insight. Please reconsider. I also know what you mean about having your Country disparaged. It comes from every direction here to the US. You have defended the UK very well indeed.

I agree with you about that live thread last night -- finally got fed up and went to do something else.
The USA owes her founding concepts of freedom and liberty to English traditions. 'Course, some folk here don't even admit that America is about liberty.
Anyway, FR will be the better if you stay aboard.
Take a number.
Come on Ivan, you know better. The idiots of which you speak do not speak for the majority here. Water off the back. You're a treasure so just take a break, at most. The slams against England are not your country, but the left that is hurting it. Please reconsider....
oooopppss sorry guess i hit a nerve
Lots of canaries in the mine have been keeling over. Hope that analogy is false, though.
Excellent! Glad to hear it.
I wish you well although you have never responded to one post I ever sent you. Never could figure out why.
Britain has been a good friend to America. I hope you haven't written all of us off because of the behavior of a few lunatics.
Good luck.

You made some rather sweeping assertions about your opponents. Too many folks will make such generalizations about the other side - using "they" and "them" - but when confronted, they'll plead that they didn't target anyone in particular. Sorry, but that is no defense.

I've been here a long, long time and have smoked out more trolls than you'll ever know. The actual closet democrats usually lose it soon enough and out themselves with a little prodding.
But it's wrong to make claims that posters on the other side in a debate must be closet Democrats, especially when many of them have been here for years and have made many solid conservative postings. It just adds to incivility when people do that - would YOU like having your opinion on a subject being critiqued as that of a closet Democrat?
Ivan, sorry the boorish moronic hordes finally got to you. They are a cancer here at FR. Stay well and thanks for the uncounted hours of enjoyment you brought this forum.
Ivan,
I rarely post, but I spend a great deal of time reading FR. I wish you would stay. I always look forward to reading your commentary.
I always enjoyed your posts... the british perpspective, sense of humour, class, stiff upper lip, pugnacious personality... all add tremendously to this forum.
I hope you reconsider. Wherever you go there are going to be idiots. Freerepublic is no exception, but the large majority is decent, thoughtful people bonded by a similar world view.
But if you do find a site that's better, come back and tell us about it.
Oh, in that case, I'll just bring a stick and a bag of marshmallows.
:( This is the first opus that I've actually been sad to read.
I'll miss you.
What do you expect from a bunch of under acheiving cubicle workers who are so dishonest that they prosecute their excuse for a real life from a keyboard on their boss's time?
