"To: ForGod'sSake
I think the worst flamers are those who come in here to trash the president and the "bushbots" every day, every thread and every post. I see it as trolling. Trolls are people who come into a forum to trash the place. Doesn't matter to me if they think they are high and mighty "true" conservatives or not. A troll is a troll is a troll. I also see what some of our so-called "true" conservatives post on their antifreeper sites. Yeah, well maybe I give some of our people a little leeway. I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of spiteful more patriotic than thou "true" conservatives. Some of the nastiest trolls have already been ejected and I'm sure others will follow. When people get to the point that they hate us, hate FR, and hate what we are trying to accomplish here, maybe they should just leave and join a site where their views are better appreciated. Why hang around to make themselves and everyone else miserable?

Thank you for the reminder.
Doesn't matter the year, they're easily recognized. A good dose of insecticide or pesticide ought to help us eliminate them.
Because I see our country's first and last line of defense is control of our border, that puts me and others who think like me on the other side of the fence.
Those who want open borders, and cheap labor, my culture wiped out, my father(God rest his soul) who served in WWII and the Korean Conflict to protect this country which now is being handed over by our so-called conservative republicans who invision a new world order, and we're supposed to keep our mouths shut and take it. Afterall, they are our party.
Allow me to toot my fathers horn for him...earned An American Theater Campaign Medal; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign; Two Bronze Stars; Philippine Liberation Ribbon; Good Conduct Medal; Meditorious Unit Award; World War II Victory Medal. I'm glad he doesn't have to witness the sell-out of our country, the country he fought for...twice.
Moderator, when you show open support for that rant, you dishonor what my dad fought for... The United States of America. Not the United States of Republicans.
Country over party!
"You're full of useless and inane hypothesis that don't wash.
You're a defeatist "teach the GOP a lesson" poster.
You're going against the purpose of FR, which is to defeat democrats and never give them control of Congress or the White House.
I am NOT surprised you are an '04 sign-on with no state flag."
I am a very intelligent man with an interesting vantage point who is usually dead right in my predictions. I was wrong about Janine Pirro's chances of being elected, it is true, but Jeanine surprised me with her dismal first public performance. Other than that, I'm a place you might want to look if you want to know what is probably going to happen before other folks report it.
I do not want to see the GOP defeated any more than General Longstreet wanted to the see the Army of Northern Virginia defeated at Gettysburg, but I see the facts as they are, and I write based upon what is, and not what I wish it to be. President Bush and the Republican leadership who will not yield on a border fence have inflicted a defeat on the GOP which will be reflected by the poll results in November. It's not me moving the polls. When that happens, it is my hope and expectation that the Republican party will come out the other end with a clearer view, and do what it did with the 1994 Contract With America, and thence onward to victory.
I am not going against the purpose of FreeRepublic.
You can't defeat Democrats if you alienate your base, and you cannot keep your base if you do things like Bush 41 did when he betrayed tax-hawks on "Read my lips, no new taxes", or what Bush 43 did Monday night, by refusing to give Border Conservatives their closed border. To not have Democrats win, Republican leaders need to hear the message, loud and clear, and adjust to it. FreeRepublic lets them do that, if they read, listen and think.
If they don't, it's not the telling them what they need to do that loses office for Republicans, it's Republican officeholders making bad decisions.
Anyway, it is possible that Mr. Robinson agrees with your assessment of the purpose of his website, and agrees that I am going against the purpose of it. Perhaps you should contact him and ask that I be prohibited from posting here.
I seriously doubt he will take you up on that, and expect he will probably be annoyed with you for having bothered him about what amounts to your anger and disagreement with me. I am a generally respectful and thoughtful poster, who does not get out of hand and rant and rave. I say some unpleasant things sometimes, like any good officer who can foresee the catastrophe that his commander his leading his unit into.
I signed up in 2004. What of it? That's when I discovered the site. State flags? I'm not all that young, and not very technically savvy with the Internet and really have no idea what you are talking about. Are we supposed to put state flags somewhere? Where? I don't know what flag I would put up anyway. I happen to live in Connecticut, for the time being. I've lived in New York, Maryland, Florida, Michigan Texas, California, the Ile de France and Anjou, and lived out at in the middle of the ocearn for longer than I lived in any of those other places except Michigan, so I don't know what flag I'd put up there if I did put one up.
Anyway, it's always a pleasure speaking with you.
If you don't appreciate what I have to say - and clearly you don't - it's probably best not to bother reading it.
I do tend to go on and on, and there's no point getting yourself worked up over some anonymous poster. I'm certainly not going to go away just because you tell me to. That's Mr. Robinson's province. He hasn't asked me to leave. So I'm staying.
You call ohio "sir"... obviously you don't know ohio.
Naw, Parsley doesn't do anything for me one way or t'other...
So do I, but then, I have a hard time believing that one of our posters here is paid to run campaigns.
Thanks, onyx. I'm not sure what a Bush-Bot is, but I know I would NEVER, EVER, EVER vote for a Democrat.
Ohio, don't bother responding to this one. That's just flat-out a nonsensical post from a previously shy person who is suddenly quite active.
No mention of the sacrifice made by all those working on our behalf just meanspirited bashing.
Amen
I haven't seen any of that. Care to identify those doing that?
You seem to be glib about making false charges, and here you have made yet another.
Please prove it.
I swear that almost every post you've made in this thread has been some conspiracy about infiltrators hiding on FR trying to divide and conquer us with their words. Give it a rest and come back to Earth. There may be a lot of FReepers here that you disagree with, or who are angry about one thing or another, or who may even be critical of the President or other Republicans who aren't quite hitting the mark for conservatives. That doesn't mean that they're trolls or infiltrators or that there's some big conspiracy focused on Free Republic to get us to vote Democrat. Let's stick to rational debate and ditch the conspiracy stuff.
Excellent post, man.
