A Message to All the Cut and Run Freepers Currently Polluting Free Republic

[BlackbirdSST]

For us to ban or shut down critical thinkers by calling them names is only denying us the exercise of improving our discussion skills outside of FR.

One "former" FReeper evidently got banned (up thread) and called an idiot by mods for posting the key word "civilwar". What say you? Blackbird.

I posted this same sentiment two days ago but not on the scale you so magnificently have done here,
Thank you for a well deserved writing on this subject.

[M Kehoe]

Good morning, and welcome back to CONUS.

Next we need to PUSH HARD for conservatives in the PRIMARIES (bold type used just for the Cut and Run conservatives).

So, the lack of bold type denotes the lack of cut&run comservatives? Blackbird.

[Guenevere]

Thank-you kristinn....well said and well intended!
We will not cut and run.

"Please let us finish our mission."

G-D Bless Our Troops.

Bump.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

True words.

[Lumper20]

Well written.

Let's get out of there, manage the blow-back as best we can, take our lumps, and promise ourselves once again that we'll never let ourselves be misled into a no-win foreign misadventure again.

Are you Pat Buchanan? Only he would say something so stupid and think it was genius.

[BlackbirdSST]

With all due respect, posting this thread on FR doesn't take "guts" - it's an automatic bootlicking session, as you'll notice by perusing the thread and reading all the kneejerk plaudits from prostrate responders.

LMAO! Spot on! Here's hoping you're able to hang around FR for a while. Welcome Old Hank. Blackbird.

There are no muslim democracies

Japan had no democratic experience prior to August 1945, either.

[Twinkie]

Bump . . .

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is." - George W. Bush - Houston Chronicle April 9, 1999

There are so many quotes from George Bush the Campaigner, that puts George Bush the President 180 degrees out of phase. I've posted a few before regarding Nation Building that fall right in line with yours. This place would've come off it's proverbial hinges had this been "the toon" saying and doing the exact same things. Blackbird.

I'm sorry it took me so long, I guess I'm just a slow learner.

Don't pat yourself on the back just yet....You've still got a lot to learn.

[Thumper1960]

Do not be disheartened, kristinn. There are always a certain vocal number of CINO's who lack a spine. They infect our pool of national "conservative" political leadership positions, and they infect FR. While they represent a cancerous factionalism on the Right, they are by no means a silent majority coughing phlegm into the conservative body. They are a nasty virus that is doomed to be overwhelmed by a healthy party that practices good hygiene.

[Thumper1960]

When the troops don't question it, why should America?

I'll trust them before I'll trust the whinings of a soft and weak hearted civilian population.

[longtermmemmory]

thanks for writing,

we have many trolls and moles.

[Thumper1960]

Freepmail me your address and I'll send a case of tissues.

Aloe infused for your comfort, no less.

Just a token of my heartfelt caring, you see.

BTW, it is possible for a Trotkyist to become a Conservative. It just takes time and a lot of bruises.

When my unit was pulled out of Viet Nam in 1971 the people in the village where I lived cried. They hugged us and said they were going to die when the North came. The North came and they did. We can't do that again!

Amen, chesty. Good to see you again.

I get sick reading this thread - not at those who wish to re-evaluate strategy (which IMO, needs to be done), but those who at this point in time emulate the Vietnam-era pragmatists and say this war is not worth the cost of winning. This war has been nowhere NEAR the cost of Vietnam, but winning it is even more vital than winning Vietnam.

They are willing to let the MSM spin this war the way the MSM spun Tet and the years afterwards as saying we are defeated, without bothering to ask the soldiers who is winning. From the comfort of their chairs they rip into Kristinn, who actually went over there to see for himself instead of just being spoonfed by CNN.

These ossified "conservatives" form an unholy alliance with the far left to where their positions become indistinguishable with the greatest America haters of our time - the type of pond scum that Kristinn, Doc Raoul and myself got to witness at a moonbat antiwar and impeachment rally in Philly - where they had no American flags and refused an offer from us to have one of ours.

A sane conservative will reconsider his positions when they align with such moonbats. Which tells you plenty about the sanity of the hard-core naysayers on this thread that they seek to further emulate the likes of Cindy Sheehan and Medea Benjamin.
