Could you please send your invite to tubebender....LOL.
He feels left out.
I joined under this name in '98. This used to be the defining culture for FR.
There seem to be a lot more topic-based ZOTs called for, not of recently joined obvious and disruptive trolls, but even of long time members who wish to debate merits & failings of potential presidential candidates or about controversial policy shifts.
Discussion doesn't make FR a "liberal debate club," as I've seen suggested, but serves to inform and strengthen views. It was a hallmark of what made FR great in its early web days along with activism (local chapters, Freeper investigations) and timeliness (live threads of Bush vs. Gore, for example).
I hope going forward into the 2012 election cycle, all candidates get a thorough examination and activity in the Republican House is monitored closely. FR is an invaluable, informative, tool during election cycles and in alerting people to legislative scams or judicial injustices.
The "professional press" cannot be depended upon to accurately report events or inform the People what its elected officials are trying to do to them.
Anti-Freepers sites crash and burn every time. The only glue that holds them together is a hatred of FR.
Mr. Buffalo, approximately ALL of the MEDIA, left AND right, has FR bookmarked to see what’s happening when news breaks. This will never happen with any other site. Give it up, ain’t gonna work.
It is very strange. I made a comment at #333 and all of a sudden since that comment starting at #301 to #340 is all messed up for me to see. I can pick up comments again starting at #341.
I got it, Grey got it, CC got it, and IDK about ‘zilla, colo, T.
Bry, E, and Nana didn’t seem to get it.
But you didn’t miss much, I’m thinking possibly SD or PD is the one behind it.
I’m clueless.........
How much FreeRepublic sucks. See JRs original post.
Still that same way for you?
Over my dead body.
I really can’t believe that this person is what they say they are.
There are many sites that are essentially commercial versions of FR.
Lucianne.com, MightyRighty.com, and several others. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HER LOGIC, unless she just really wants to make some dough, and there’s nothing wrong with that. BUT, she doesnt need to badmouth someone else in th process.
She could have just created her site, announced it, even on FR, and that would have been that, no harm, no foul.
By listing her grievances in the process, she reveals a more sinister motive, damaging someone else reputation.....
FR is what it is and I have no intentions of making any sudden moves to try to please big tent RINOs. Eff ‘em if they can’t take a joke.
wtc911? Structural engineer.
Dont feel bad.
I didnt get one either......
Well, I think we all need to be carful not to recklessly guess who this mystery person might be. For example, I have no idea what pissant has been up to today. LOL
Honest pissant, you ornery old fart, I was only joking. ;>) Palin 2012.
Mrs Dogood, you obviously won’t be missed. Look, I like to help folks out when I can, so anytime I see a clearly identified troll, I’ll send them your way.
Jim, I could go on for a long time about all of the good things that I have experienced from your creation. I love it here and I am convinced that FR makes a difference in the lives of others, as well as the direction of our country. Thank you so much for all that you do.
Yes!
I am a relatively new poster. I have lurked for quite awhile though. I was not a reader for most of what this poster is talking about but I have a thought I would like to contribute. Personally, I am kind of tired of fair and balanced. I recently watched with horror as Fox News allowed some of their commentators to turn on their more conservative counterparts. I am a fair person, to each his own, but I really would like to have one place, just one, that I can trust will have a truly conservative viewpoint and stick to it through thick and thin. Watching the soft-pedaling of some of these so called conservatives in the last week is making me ill !
