This sentiment is really starting to come out here at the free Republic.

Sniff, sniff.

[Tijeras_Slim]

It's driving me and others I know more and more to the left.

Lenin had a labor catagory for folks like you.

Why?

Lenin had a labor catagory for folks like you.

Yeah, but 'useful idiot' just doesn't pay the way it used to, given how many there are nowadays. That supply and demand thingy.

[The First Jim Thompson]

I assure you I do not run a site called “new republic”.

[Pistolshot]

Now that’s too funny.

[Tijeras_Slim]

That supply and demand thingy.

Hasn't that been abolished by some Czar's fiat?

[dirtboy]

Hasn't that been abolished by some Czar's fiat?

Yeah, but it always has a way of un-abolishing itself.

President Obama is African American and a liberal that was elected by the American People to lead our great Country and the conservatives need to get over it.

The fact that -8bama is African American matters not at all. So is Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell and many, many other blacks of tremendous character and achievement. Screaming "racist" is simply an obnoxious and disingenuous smear tactic, which we have done a good job in fighting against over the past week. Failure to see that is not an accident IMO.

-8bama being a liberal - a university marxist, actually - is everything and his world view deserves both clear intellectual refutation and well-founded ridicule which you will find on this site in abundance.

If you don't agree with this position then you are on the wrong privately-owned forum with forum rules set by the owner Jim Robinson. They are posted on the home page. Please read them now.

Failure to follow forum rules will result in a very short stay on Free Republic which, based on your initial post, will probably result in greater happiness for all concerned if you were then to find a more liberal site.

[Thompson Twins]

You both have been assimilated into the Thompson Borg. Resistance is futile.

[The First Jim Thompson]

Oh yeah? Is your first name Jim?

[Thompson Twins]

Oh yeah? Is your first name Jim?

No, Locutus. Locutus J. Thompson.

[The First Jim Thompson]

Really? That’s funny. My name is Jim L.Thompson.
all your twins R us!

[Jim Robinson]

Freep ‘em if they can’t take a joke.

[hiredhand]

So far the only thing I agree with you on is that you’re gonna get blasted. From the few that I’ve read so far, I’d say you predicted that one pretty well. Good call there genius! ;-)

[hiredhand]

Why? So he could address his first post to me of course! :-)

[don-o]

You don't have to go very far in the real world to run across a racist. One on one a lot of people are not to shy to use the N word or to express how they really feel towards African Americans

If that is the case, then evidently the people you encounter expect that you are cool with that kind of talk. You have outed yourself.

I have not decided if you are a lamebrain or a troll or both.

Please reply quickly. I am smelling me some ozone.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I don’t agree with the comments that the quoted FReepers made. We have our share of aholes here. I find it very interesting that this makes a fairly mainstream newspaper; I don’t recall seeing any similar articles about the horrible comments that I’ve read on big democrat sites.

[don-o]

Come back Jack. Come back.

We talk back and forth here.
