This place has lost the best of freepers. Not the same place for a very long time. Shame.
Yep. There are a lot of FReepers that have been ousted and it’s made for a very odd place.
Amen!
Dozens were banned or left on their own during the great "Rudy" purge of April 2007.
In brief, for those who have amnesia, Rudy was "dissed" because he wasn't a true "conservative" because of his Pro-Choice attitude and who can forget the photos of him dressed in "drag" at a party.
Rudy cleaned up NYC and stood tall during the 9/11 tragedy. His leadership and performance didn't seem to count for anything during the POTUS nomination process. He was thrown under the bus because of one very big flaw...Rudy was pro choice and that violated the core belief of conservatives.
If the lovely Laura Bush had been a FReeper during those dark times, there is no doubt she would have been banned for the opinions she expressed today. She is NOT a true conservative. She said what she said and meant it.
Most of the Bushbots who are arguing in her favor today, are the exact same ones who screamed the loudest against Rudy. They were relentless in their personal attacks against the Old Guard of FR. Instead of remaining silent and true to their convictions...they now have the nerve to defend Laura?
It's truly pathetic... but oh, the hypocrisy.
