The above was sent to me from someone who sent it via freepmail. Looks like it's going out to a ping list, so might as well bring it to light.

Some call me a tyrant. Whatever. I have stated my goals for Free Republic and will defend my right to freedom of speech and freedom of association and freedom to control the direction and content of my own personal property to the death! Those who wish to fight against me on these issues are free to do it elsewhere. I feel no compulsion to provide malcontents a soapbox. Wankers for Rudy McRomey can KMA!!

[American Quilter]

To the unknown (and cowardly) former FReeper: don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Rock on, Jim!

[eastforker]

10/4, over and out!

[bmwcyle]

I find you to be a good person.

[colorcountry]

I got it, and I’m not on that many freepmail lists.

[thackney]

BTTT

[humblegunner]

You’re a petty tyrant!

How cool is THAT?

“We are not NPR, and we are not a charity – why do we raise money like one?”

GIVING and Generosity are conservative values. I hope the TRUEBLUEWANKER reads that.

Isn’t BLUE the Demoncrat color...

Wankers for Rudy McRomey can KMA!!

wow, such hateful, vitriolic, tyrannical musings...8^}

"Thank You" JimRob for all you guys do, and for the heads up on this mail-troll...

[Responsibility2nd]

Gee. How come I never get any of these agit-prop emails?

I feel slighted.

~sniff~

I’ve set up TrueBlueFreedom.com as a place where conservatives who follow the rules will not be banned, no matter how much I disagree with them.

Laughable. Look who's all set-up to play tyrant/king!

No FReepathons! Just wow.

[unspun]

Perhaps this writer needs to take one of Dr. Marxofascist's Civility Pills.

[Justaham]

Wow! A Freeper who has gone to the deep end??? Crazy!

[SubMareener]

Hang in there Jim! Those of us who donate monthly are with you. FreeRepublic.com is the first place I go to in the morning, and the last place I leave at night. We really don't need any friends of Big Government here.

[blackie]

I’m with you Jim!

Remain true to your convictions!

Be Ever vigilant!

[wtc911]

First I saw of it...guess I’m not one of the cool kids.

[stuartcr]

I got the free-mail. Don’t really care much about what it said.

Word Origin & History

tyrant
c.1300, “absolute ruler,” from O.Fr. tyrant (12c.), from L. tyrannus “lord, master, tyrant “ (cf. Sp. tirano , It. tiranno ), from Gk. tyrannos “lord, master, sovereign, absolute ruler,” a loan-word from a language of Asia Minor (probably Lydian); cf. Etruscan Turan “mistress, lady” (surname of Venus).

“In the exact sense, a tyrant is an individual who arrogates to himself the royal authority without having a right to it. This is how the Greeks understood the word ‘ tyrant ‘: they applied it indifferently to good and bad princes whose authority was not legitimate.” [Rousseau, “The Social Contract”]

The spelling with -t arose in O.Fr. by analogy with prp. endings in -ant . Fem. form tyranness is recorded from 1590 (Spenser); cf. M.L. tyrannissa (1372).

Bummer, I didn't get an invite...They must not like Kitties.

The only criticism I would offer over the Rudy purge is that it could have been done sooner.

The rudybots had swallowed the MSM lie about Rudy being the only one who could beat She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named hook, line, and sinker. They were in a blind panic. No amount of reasoning would get through to them.

They would get rude and extremely mean to anyone who disagreed with them. AMF to them.

All I can say is, “It’s a free country (at least for now) so, if you wish, have at it.”
