Everyone please send whatever you are able to, whether it is $10, $100 or $1,000+. The DUmmies, Morons, Kos Kiddies and that crew are laughing up their sleeves. Jim may have to make this site members only or allow ads. Better for us to just help with what we can. Maybe you can donate as a memorial for a lost loved one, a servicemember who never made it home or was disabled defending our country. Perhaps you'd like to give to keep free discussion alive and to show them that we're not knuckling under. I'm sure a well thought out or prayerful meditation will lead you to see the need and how you can help. If every registered FReeper and our lurkers would each just help out with a fin or a sawbuck, or better yet a Ben Franklin, we could put this to bed and get on with the conservative cause.
I’ll give you this. you give new meaning to “can’t see the forest for the trees!”
The rebellion you are seeing on this thread is not against you or your position on Mitt.
The rebellion is against those here who clothe themselves in your position and villify any freeper who sees a different path to saving the country.
The Mitt thing is just the most recent cause celebre for these folks. Before that it was Newt or Santorum or Cain or Bachmann or Palin (where it started). They hide in your shadow and attack those who they feel you would disagree with - sometimes in the vilest manner (accusations of NAMBLA membership, death wishes...). They ping their compadres and it becomes a relentless mugging.
These freepers seem to feel empowered as long as they can say - "The boss says this" or "This is Jim's site and he says...". They feel that their hand will not be slapped, regardless of how flagrantly and frequently they violate posting rules.
It is these freepers, not your opinions, that have driven good freepers away.
I pinged those who have agreed with me on this thread. They are all good, long-term freepers and there are a couple with whom I have never communicated before in 11 years here.
It would be a mis-reading if you were to take this as a personal affront. It is not. It is a revolt against those who act in your name, to the ultimate detriment of your site.
Would have been nice to see you say that statement to me when your mods suspended me in May for standing up to thugs on the American Idol thread. Good ole' Silent_Johnny another prize who can go mock whoever he wants without a word said.
Why are rules for some not rules for others?
onyx, as I stated to you in our correspondences this is what I'm angered about as you me and Jim supported the same candidates and in our primaries we never voted for Romney, but every time I bring up the thugs who trash people and roam free everything goes back to Romney someone I didn't vote for, don't support, don't "like" on FB or Twitter or whatever stupid site.
The blatant hypocrisy letting someone attack me, when I was suspended for fighting back against Silent_Johnny a notorious cyber thug.
You all send emails expressing that you care about me, well where the heck is the support when I am showing you what I'm talking about?
Silence
Rebelling against both candidates? I just cannot do anything or participate in anyway, shape or form that helps o bama the mad Marxist get re-elected. I hope that you understand that. I know you read the FR threads Jim and I know that you know I have never been a fan of Romney’s, my past posts since the day I joined speak for themselves.
I will never promote Romney on FR, and never have, you have made your feelings clear. It’s your forum and I respect that. I hope you understand if I take a time out and spend my time elsewhere until after the elections. I feel it is my duty to do everything in my power to get that tyrant out of our White House.
I understand Romney is not a conservative. I get it. However I just happen to think what’s in there now is 100X worse.
Amen brother!
Yup. Sock puppet.
Well said.
Mocking another cyber thug on FR named Silent_Johnny who can dish it out but runs to the mods when he gets a response.
"Like!"
Is that really all you have? “Thank you for your opinion.”
Weak sauce. I guess so long as people are good during Freepathons they can insult just about anyone. That’s just awesome.
Bumping your post #477...well said.
I will NOT betray my Saviour by supporting a pro-death, pro-sodomite candidate like Romney. Zero can't cast my soul into hell (although he probably thinks so)...I do not fear him.
Ditto! VERY WELL SAID!Thank you for taking the time to explain so carefully;how so many feel!
Thank-You!
Once again attacking the messenger, how original.Yes it is very interesting, see that was when people like Howlin and Texasforever started shouting down everyone that tried to warn them that Bush was destroying the conservative movement, with full support of the management here. Well, you might notice that that group is gone, as you will be eventually. I don’t care whether I get banned, I just read anymore anyway. But just remember, what comes around goes around, so enjoy your position while it lasts
You really think Romney will follow an islamist track?
It's a miracle I tell you!
Miracle alert! Miracle alert!

Ironically, I discovered wtc911 and I signed up for Free Republic on September 15, 2011. I have sent you, the mods, onyx others proof from this thread of statements that were worse than a statement I made fighting back against Silent_Johnny last May leading to my suspension. My first and only suspension in 10 years of posting.
The response, is your support in his attacks!
Yes, he does. And like the Dixie Chicks had every right to denigrate GWB. But actions have consequences, and the lack of donations is evidence of that.
Do you really believe that you have that right?
:( This is a very sad thread.
