Howdy friend! :-)

"A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity. He who has made the acquisition of a judicious and sympathizing friend may be said to have doubled his mental resources." - Robert Hall

Yeah, that’s me alright. A troll flying under the radar for NINE years. I shoulda known I couldn’t get anything past you, EV.

There are plenty of barking (or should I say howlin) moonbat longtime FReepers, well not so many as last week or even yesterday, and by your tone, well, we'll likely be short another few soon enough. It's easy to masquerade as a Conservative, the tough part is maintaining the lie. Thanks for playing. Give 'em hell EV. Blackbird.

“Based on his public record in LE and during his time as mayor of New York City, Guliani seems capable of demonstrating the ruthlessness required to clean out our intelligence services, the DOJ and the State Department — or as they are usually referred to, the enemy within.”

There’s no difference between Rudy’s position on the WOT on all the other candidates.

Second, we should nominate Rudy for head of Homeland Security if that is his strength. We don’t need him to be president.

Third, there is no evidence Rudy is a shoo-in to win NY, NJ or California. The DBM will highlight his corruption ties and flip-flops. Dems will paint him as a wild eyed liberal in the Red States, and as a too tough, arrogant, fascists in the blue states.

Fourth, if Rudy was so popular in NY, he would've ran for Governor or Senator. He barely won reelection as Mayor, and is extremely unpopular with NYC minorities.

He has no connection with Hispanics. Hey, vote for the NYC elitist, who is for abortion, Gay rights, and free trade with Cuba. Yeah, that will draw the Hispanics in!

Like I said, Rudy for Homeland Security, not POTUS.

I’ve read the rest of you post, and it’s nothing more than a repeat of what you’ve said before.

If we couldn't do that, this thread would have 150 posts instead of 15,000.

Doh! You caught me. After 9 years, I thought I had you all fooled, but not you and your eagle - er, Blackbird - eye.

The liberalism I'm most concerned about is the too frequent support for porn and drugs under the auspices of libertarianism. It is a cancer in society and FR is not immune.

I share your concern and disgust.

As long as our Government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of person and of property, liberty of conscience and of the press, it will be worth defending—Andrew Jackson

Yea, I am an "important person" not because of what Ive accomplished (Im not about to go into that on this site) but because I have been here since 1998 and I have always tried to be kind to my fellow freepers...Yep, Ive apologized a few times (its easy to step over the line on the internet) but I always pulled myself up short and if I was wrong I admitted it.

My posting history is there for you to see until I get banned,and I think you will mostly find it full of good humor.I have over the years gotten many personal notes from people telling me I made them laugh.

But now I am angry, and you and your like minded sycophants are most deserving of that anger.What has happened here is a travesty and you are the fools and do not have a clue.

I'm with you woofie. I'm at work today and have to hit the road for a job, otherwise I stay and join you in your dissent of the purge.

Too many very good people have been banned because they took issue, most in a respectful way, with the new order here on FR. An unfortunately I'm not liking what I'm seeing with them. No more room for respectful dissent here. If you do, you're gone. 50 (+ or - a few) bannings of many of those who I've grown to respect with the thoughtfulness of their posts and support of conservatives. We're not all of one mind though we agree on most things here. And to be accused of being a troll or worse for posting a dissenting opinion is not what I expected FR to become. It's too bad that intolerance has become the norm here.

I agree. I posted some on this thread when it was still in the hundreds. It was sickening, to me, to see the glee with which some people were rejoicing in the bannings (especially those who have been here just a few days and, most likely, would have been zotted for the kinds of stuff they’ve said had they said it a year ago).

I don’t know that I have any FRiends here, per se, but people whose opinions I’ve respected over the years. I’m going to miss them very much on this forum.
