Freepers take note!
Begone, troll.
But I am one of the few idiots who has taken from loved ones to send cash to 2ndDivisionVet.
Here is how this guy will repay your kindness. Take note.
This man has no soul (read past posts and form your own conclusions as to this). What kind of man can beg from the poor and, upon receiving, offer complaints and little thanks?
If this if the substance of FR, what hope is there? Is this merely a forum for begging from folks who hope and pray for a better world?
I have never met a finer crowd than the folks on FR...which is why it is the perfect place for beggars to stake their claim.
Beware all who enter here. Aside from the natural goodness of FR...you will find parasites here who feed on you kindness.
This is how 2ndDivisionVet will repay your kindness to him.
I spent $20, and all I got was this "Begone, Troll" T-shirt.
What the heck?
Sure, and I know.
But when the up start conservative, Tea Party constitutionalists is “face to face” with high dollar donors they rarely stand on their on two feet.
The big money guys run rough shot over them, as they should.
It is a vetting process.
The money is only a way to find out where they stand.
Pinging to a family affair.....again. : (
From JimRob's thread:
"Just because a personal plea is posted doesnt mean a person is who they pretend to be."
....no matter how tragic their story.
Thanks, RoosterRedux.

Keep spitting, dude.
I know who you are...you are the scum of the earth. You steal from the poor and aren't even thankful.
I have hesitated to out you because I hoped you might change.
But no...you are still begging from those who are needy but kindhearted.
Beware all who care for the downtrodden...this man is a user of Christian sympathies.
Our policy on third party or personal fundraising on FR: Don't do it!

Rooster....your comment was gratuitous at best.
2nd I took your meaning as being helping raise funds. I didn’t think that you were going to go Koch Brothers on us......The folks I know are little more hand to mouth at the moment but we will do our best. Don’t let Rooster get to you. Anyone who holds onto something that long has an unhappy life
If $20 was such a huge sacrifice, I again offer to return it. We are slightly better off than back when. I have no idea what is going on in his personal life and I’m sorry he lost his dad. We lost our son last year in a fire, so I know how heart-wrenching that sort of loss can be.
Where I am is that when you give someone money for your own glory, you have nothing to gripe about.
That’s all.
You’re a real piece of work dude!
That said, if you want to send cash, go right ahead.
But why not send it to FreeRepublic.com...FR is the reason our opinions and ideas are still alive.
2nd Div is perhaps a well-meaning person...but FR is steadfastly in favor of America!
Some brag about what they give, and others don’t.
I have no plans to become a pharisee.
You are defending the wrong dude here, dude.
Just curious if you have any skin in the game?
I am guessing you have sent nothing so far. Am I wrong?
You are as wrong as anyone can get.
There are probably hundreds here that have given far more than you, and don’t hijack threads to gripe like you.
In fact, you are the only one I can recall that has griped.
I never realized that you were like this before.
