I’m only spot reading this thread and I didn’t see those bannings so I don’t have an opinion on the mechanics.
But I feel sad when someone who was here long before me and who made me welcome and who has been kind and civil with me even when we have disagreed leaves or is banned.
And I also miss a bunch more who were less perfect.
But I do think what is happening is natural.
With Bill Clinton serving 8 years and both Al and Hillary itching to follow, it was pretty easy to build a big tent of opposition.
It is always easier to unify against a common enemy than to hold together after.
I do wish it wasn’t so wrenching for the long term members. There are real emotions here because people have known each other and invested here.
That’s a long winded way of saying I don’t understand viewing this separation as a cheerful thing.
I do! (((hugs)))
Typical troll tactic.
No, typical troll response by you with your first grade level name calling. You never answered the question.
The question remains unanswered by you.
Is Howlin writing your script too?
LOL, no...but you seem obsessed with Howlin. Jim removes her from the forum, yet you can't stop thinking about her.
If you wish to continue defending an anti-freeper site, go ahead. I look forward to seeing how that goes for you.
I wasn't defending anything. I was asking you a question. You seem very defensive. You have come to the conclusion that it was an anti-Freeper site. So I ask you how you come to that conclusion.
How dare I ask such a question, right?
That's called looking for the truth. Not too complicated a concept....except apparently for you.
Bump.
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
I'm perhaps being disingenious, but only if you think it's important to make up your mind in April instead of October.
Even December isn't too late. If you're undecided at that late date, it's not like you've been contributing or campaigning for anyone.
So, I think I can have it both ways.
I know the primaries are frontloaded, and I'm not going to let anyone here bully me into supporting a candidate.
But frontloaded doesn't mean they're moved to May 2007.
I'm also not going to be bullied into supporting the candidate du jour at FR. I'll figure out who that is on my own timetable. It's not today.
I'd actually like to have the trial over before rendering the verdict.
If that's disingenious, I'll just live with the label.
Dang. You’re hitting on all eight cylinders!
hint: don't fly towards the light.
I answered your question, and even posted links to your question and my answer after you lied about it. Your troll tactics are just too obvious, and too much like Howlin’s tactics for anyone not to notice. And I’m not the first one on this thread to recognize her tactics in the posts defending her new home.
Someone who lays down ultimatums to the owner and then demands he comply of *STFU* is asking to get banned.
Or *just sayin* who would simply not get of the pro-abortion bandwagon.
There were many FReepers who were warned by JR himslef or other FReepers that they were on thin ice and they chose to ignore the warnings.
JR has made it clear what this site represents and if your pro-homosexual marriage, pro-abortion, pro-gun control, etc., yeah you are going to get banned. Those are not conservative views. So no one got banned for expressing their conservative views.
ROTFLMAO, and yet you were anxious to find out what Lando might have said at (the fictitious) babysonthehalftip.com.
All that aside, focusing within the boundaries of this site, where along with anything negative that you can muster up about him, Lando has also said that he has "expressed sadness and regret about this purge. Here and 'over there'". I realize that you won't want to believe that such a proclamation could possibly be a part of his message, so here is a link that you can click so you can verify it for yourself... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1821435/posts?page=14567#14567.
I inaugurated and ran the Moral Absolutes ping list for (can’t remember how many) a few years. Wagglebee helped out and basically took over more than a year ago when I had a lot of other resonsibilities; I’m starting to kick in again now.
One of the main focus points of that ping list is to shed light on the aggressively atheist and God hating legislation and court decisions that are turning the US into a sinkhole.
The basic moral absolutes that are the foundation of law are founded on simple religious based morality. To reject them is to open the doors to hedonist, dog eat dog anarchy, which will then usher in totalitarianism.
If these basic moral absolutes, founded in religion (and, oddly enough, are virtually the same in all monotheist religions as well as Buddhism) are rejected (as we are in the midst of today), the result will be a total hell on earth. Big dog eating small dog, simply because he can.
We are heading towards a culture which actively hates, disavows, and punishes religious believers and denies them any outlet for religious expression, even in their daily lives. Their (I should say “our”) principles and beliefs are trounced, scorned, mocked and destroyed with impunity, while they try to utterly silence our voices. And the God hating, morality destroying and aggressively atheist viewpoints are enshrined as law and accepted public polity.
Many thanks, that means a lot to me. If I might leave with one final word, it is simply this - I think we should stop tearing at one another. There is a bigger fight looming and it’s for all the marbles, and I tremble for the outcome.
>>If we truly need a new department or function in the federal government, then a constitutional amendment should be proposed, debated, enacted and ratified first. And as Americans will reject most proposed amendments out of hand,<<
One of the biggest challenges we face is the prevailing attitude that the constitution can be changed by declaring the original intent archaic or reinterpreted because the procedure to actually change the constitution is hard.
Its supposed to be hard to change the constitution because its supposed to be hard to take away our rights or to grow the government into new areas.
We are so far behind now that court-creep has kept the states from having to deal with tough issues because they rely on the supreme court to simply expand the federal government a bit more for each tough issue. We’re in a pickle. How do you re-establish proper constitutional limits on the Federal government while getting all the states to step up to ideas like equal rights but no special rights?
Darned if I know.
“We had had a civil war and its aftermath which today includes the culture of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton because of [black exclusion].”
Should read:
“We had had a civil war and its aftermath which today includes the culture of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton because of ecause of scam artists saturated with Marxist class envy, pandering to ignorance, greed, and envy, and supported by leftists with guilt complexes, who in turn use the “black leaders” to garner votes.”
Result? Misery for many.
I should have written:
Not really sad about them not being here, but they should not be banned from this site for expressing their views. I would rather we all be here together, hearing all our conservative voices
You’re missing the point. When I say he’s outta here, I’m saying that I as a human being and free citizen totally and absolutely reject him from any consideration whatsoever as a candidate for the presidency. And it’s because he stands against everything I hold dear and is associated with and lobbies for the very socialist groups and causes that are trying to deprive me of my liberty. He represents the domestic enemy within.
I also extend that rejection to Free Republic. This entity, this pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-country, pro-Liberty conservative forum and conservative activist organization will not be involved in supporting a liberal pro-abort, pro-gay, pro-socialist, anti-liberty candidate for the presidency. Period.
Now, as I suspected when this first started cropping up a couple months ago, there will be a certain number of people who cannot or will not understand why a pro-abort liberal candidate from the GOP is so detestable and repugnant to be rejected out of hand, and so they will probably get upset and leave FR. I can’t help that. FR will never support him and, in fact, will work to see that as many people as possible have an opportunity to view the ugly truth about the man in his own words and deeds.
Yeah, I could if I was the slightest bit interested in defending myself from your ridiculous thread hijacking attempt.
I'm not.
If it means so frickin' much to you, pull up my offending posts, or shut the hell up.
