BURNIN' DOWN THE TENT!
Freeperdom | January 08, 2010 | MestaMachine, Blueyon, Others

Posted on 01/08/2010 6:18:55 AM PST by MestaMachine

BURNIN' DOWN THE TENT!!!

This is PART II of the RINO FREE AMERICA PROJECT!!!
CALLING ALL FREEPERS AND STATE MESSAGE BOARDS TO ACTION!!!
(Approved and endorsed by Jim Robinson.)

Do we want action? Yes, we do!!!
Are we willing to take a giant step forward and create a central action site that allows us to see at a glance every single state’s candidates for national office, House and Senate, to separate the wheat from the chaff? That is our hope. We want to spend our money, our time, and our votes wisely. Our time is JUST as valuable as the money we spend.

The goal is to take back and take over the GOP, or move it out of the way, and elect conservatives to every office we can affect whether the RNC likes it or not.
To do this, we need a clearinghouse and a plan of action that encompasses all 50 states in ONE place. That place is Free Republic. THIS is where we nationalize the 2010 election cycle and choose where our money and our time is spent. The genius of Free Republic is that it already has the 50 state message boards. We don’t have to “google” our way through hundreds of candidates in individual states to find out who is who doing what. It’s already here, just not out in the public eye. This will change that.

I, and others, have repeatedly asked Freepers to present workable ideas with this goal in mind, and there have been many, but the two I am going to post here are comprehensive, have been well thought out over a long period of time, and the magic of it is that it has never been tried before...and THAT is precisely why it will work.

Freeper blueyon, (the originator of RINO FREE AMERICA PROJECT on FaceBook,) and I have worked on the idea to have each state message board create individual STATE BY STATE threads on the forum which presents information ONLY about their national congressional candidates.
We need their candidates’ names, pictures, platforms, voting records, (if applicable,) backgrounds, opinions, newslinks, statements, and whatever other information might be available including links to candidate’s’ websites if they exist.
The state message boards are full of much of this information and no one knows local politics like the locals. It’s time to make local politics national, and here is where we do it. Fifty states, fifty threads, ALL politics will be Free Republic Local politics.

Freepers have the best researchers in the business. We need that right here, right now if we are going to burn down the RINO tent and do it effectively. They will NOT be allowed to silence us again.
Those threads will be information only. Conservative candidates will be flagged and RINOs will be tagged. Anyone who wishes to debate or discuss individual candidates can start a separate thread for that here, AND/OR on the RINO FREE discussion board on FaceBook as well.
I expect these threads to become lengthy, so be sure to add the state and candidate's name as keywords.

The SECOND part of this plan is a NATIONAL strategy for accomplishing our goal once we have singled out the candidates we choose to support and gather THOSE candidates on to ONE thread. It is our intent to coordinate efforts with the National Tea Party Movement and have them link to our information as well as share whatever info they might have that we don’t...although I find that next to impossible knowing Freepers. There just might be tidbits of inside information we might not have access to, so contributions from outside Freeperdom will be researched by us FOR us and we will do well not to post rumor or inuendo if we have no proof.

The National Action plan is the sole hard work of a longtime Freeper who has asked to remain anonymous. It is his work and since he first sent it to me, he has updated it several times for the better. I neither take, nor deserve, any credit for it whatsover, and only on that basis did I accept the invitation to present it as I saw fit.

I have opted to make only the smallest changes to his ideas as they seem to me to be the stepstones of the future. However he did specifically ask that any constructive criticisms or additional ideas be sought and wants it known that this is a foundation we can build on. He has added reasons, including some from Scripture, for these ideas which are included in the body of information presented below. Many of you will find them relevant. Those who don’t will still find the ideas themselves worth your time. I am awed by the effort put forth here which is why I have left it pretty much in tact with minimal edits. I think you will be as well.

With that said, and without further adieu, continue on and see what ideas suit you best.

but just because someone is a longtime Freeper, does not mean his posting is not flawed to the majority. Have you noticed how many longtime Freeper’s MM has befriended? Being someone’s personal life is anonymous for the most part, your small group of defenders has not one iota of a clue, how patriotic and constitutionally moral MM is. MM attempted so many times to be reasonable and simply explain what was taken out of context. It boomeranged into what I see IMHO was a hijack of beliefs not designed for the purpose of this thread. There is private mail for disagreements. There are Mods and JR to smooth things over. I'm from Chicago wagglebee & this was a hearty bait and switch attack

You’re missing the point Kayaker.
Marlowe and Wagglebee are in a tizzy over Islam.

No tizzy, I'm just curious how it is you plan to abolish the practice of Islam in the United States and still keep Christianity safe. NOBODY seems to be able to answer this one.

To: All

As laid down by Jim himself:

PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES OF POSTING ETIQUETTE:

These guidelines are intended to help maintain a useful amount of order in a large site like this and to promote better posting. They may be revised without notice. Users of Free Republic should also understand that this is a privately owned, not-for-profit site and that they are guests here. The owner reserves the right to revoke posting privileges and, when necessary, to permanently ban individuals.

Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.

Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button.

(Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it’s hard to be a family site, but that’s what we aim for when at all possible.

Do “take it to the Alley” - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.

Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.

Do stay on topic - If you are going to post an article, make sure you are placing it in the correct topic area.
Do include the original title - When you post an article, be sure to include the original title where appropriate. This helps users find the article and lessens the chance of a double post.

Do keep “vanity” posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.

Don’t jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it’s considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.
Don’t spam - Post your message once. If you are not sure if it has posted, check the latest posts page.

Don’t violate poster privacy - Don’t reveal online another poster’s phone number, address, or other information that the person hasn’t already made public for everyone on Free Republic. If you are asked for a friend’s email address, the best advice usually is to forward the request to the friend. He or she can then decide whether to respond.

Don’t play games - Don’t represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it, and don’t misattribute a contribution you’ve made. (Parody exceptions would apply to the latter, of course, but it should be clear what you are doing.)

Don’t be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.

NOTE:
{{{ Being a longtime Freeper means shame on you if you don’t know JR’s rules, worse if you ignore them)))

Yes, a tizzy.

Tell me why any so-called religion that advocates this should be allowed period.
Sex with slaves?
You're okay with keeping Islamic "religion" advocated slaves?

He pinged me yesterday to a thread about violence in Malaysia

Am I to be impressed or afraid? If you aren't promoting violence, please explain your proposed methodology. A reasonable assumption is to take things into your own hands, if you're not satisfied with the status quo. There are different ways of achieving a goal. I am not prepared to define another man's religion. I don't make shrunken heads, nor practice voodoo. I have no yellow robes, nor do I use worry beads to help me cope. (I do like incense, though, and burn it to cover the smell of my stale cigars.) Yet, they all enjoy the same rights under our Constitutional form of government. Do you disagree?

What would you do to get rid of your alleged problem with another man's religion?

YOU are wrong. I made it perfectly clear that the material you are drawing from was the work of a freeper who was presenting IDEAS.

Where is that made clear in post #4?

Don’t try and make it out to be anything more that that.

Yes, and P-M said he wasn't interested in the parts that infringed upon our First Amendment rights.

And wagglebee, I would ask you why you, of all people have done this. You keep the ping list for moral absolutes. I am on that list. You may take me off now. I no longer find you credible.

No problem.

Why wouldn't I do this? I am trying to protect Christianity, I don't give a damn about Islam.

Yes, I’m well aware of the fact that Islam advocates, rape, murder and slavery. These actions have long been illegal in America.

>>>I am restarting this with modifications and making it more simple.<<<

AMEN!

I think we all have the same goal - just gotta stick to the important part - Electing true Conservatives - save the theology bantering till we accomplish the primary purpose.

>>>The Free Republic State Threads will be political information only. <<<

It’s got to be clearly laid out so anyone can easily see what each of the candidates stands for, or most people won’t wade through it.

God Bless You for the effort - I’ll try to do more than my share!

Now, time is a’waistin - LET’S ROLL!

Scott Brown at the Massachusetts Senate debate. "With all due respect, it's not the Kennedy's seat, it's not the Democrats' seat, it's the people's seat."

But it is part of their SUPPOSED religion.
It is part of their laws.
If you allow Islam, you must allow for their beliefs and practices.

I live in West Virginia now. From the WV Constitution:

3-1. Bill of rights.
All men are, by nature, equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity, namely: The enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and of pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety. ...

3-11. ... Political tests condemned.
Political tests, requiring persons, as a prerequisite to the enjoyment of their civil and political rights, to purge themselves by their own oaths, of past alleged offences, are repugnant to the principles of free government, and are cruel and oppressive. No religious or political test oath shall be required as a prerequisite or qualification to vote, serve as a juror, sue, plead, appeal, or pursue any profession or employment. Nor shall any person be deprived by law, of any right, or privilege, because of any act done prior to the passage of such law. ...

You’re missing the point.
Islam does not recognize YOUR laws.
Islam only recognizes ITS OWN LAWS.
Why is that so hard to understand?
To Islam, your state constitution is toilet paper.

Am I to be impressed or afraid?

NEITHER! Stay on topic. You said he was probably laughing. I replied. He ISN'T laughing.

And if you talk about someone, it is FR ettiquette to PING THEM.

If you aren't promoting violence, please explain your proposed methodology.

What? No link to me fomenting violence? Imagine that. If you'd read the whole thread instead of jumping in the middle of a war started by someone else, you'd know what the "methodology" was.

Hitler was an occultist who thought Christianity was a “gutter” religion.

He DID NOT make an accusation

In #299 he said we basically have the same attitude toward Muslims as Hitler had toward jews.

That is very much an accusation. If he cannot produce the death camps and ovens, then he needs to shut his trap.
