This is when one Freeper joked "we would have to say (if it ever came to that), Jim, just please put a bullet in it (Free Republic) and put it out of its misery. You are right. It started.

I wish I had a buck for every poster who said FR was on its deathbed.

You are just another in a long line of not-so-illustrious posters who have stated such.

What is your prediction of what might occur here at FR, say next summer, if President McCain pushes for a big Amnesty program?

Or, a Global Warming treaty or cap-and-trade program?

Or a GM Bailout?

Will freepers be openly fighting against it or will they be silenced by the thought police (as they are now, pre-election)?

As a point of reference, there might in fact, upon reflection, be phoenix type characteristics about FR, for sure once Scarface is totally crushed by Jug Ears in the election, we will have no choice but to go back to being the vanguard of Conservatism—opposing PC, government largesse, socialism and open borders, rather than a bought off mouthpiece for RINOs. I see your point. Well taken, dirtboy.
