Oh, Wagglebee...out from under the rocks...
Go ahead and keep talking to yourselves. I’ve got work to do. It’s been 17 years and the only thing that FreeRepublic has done is made a nice living for Jim Robinson. I don’t begrudge that, but please don’t pretend to be something you’re all not. I’m out of here.
Hildy, you were put in to office by TEA types. Either dance with the people that brung you or step down.
I'm not even sure what that means.
I'm still curious, have you EVER opposed abortion or same-sex "marriage"?
This is why I say that FR is infiltrated with leftists. They switch teams and run at the first sign that they have to fight.
Sorry I ever fought my Eds for you Hildy.
Once in office they all surrender.
This one sure did. Because she uses to be real anti establishment/Good old boy network. I live 30 miles from her.
Went native.
My personal experience, not validate anywhere except my small circle, is that there are some people who are advocates, some people who are adamant detractors...but the vast majority just don't giva sh!t.
But when you apply the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the subject, the detractors are the majority.
Folks don't cotton to be compelled to offer services to homos if they have religious reasons to avoid it. Nor are they willing to compel others.
Yes, any state who offers to Marry a hetero couple will be forced to Marry a homo couple.
The ruling will be a result of the 14th Amendment.
Right or wrong.
Absent a Constitutional Amendment, this is essentially a done deal.
You are truly pathetic.
I dont begrudge that, but please dont pretend to be something youre all not. Im out of here.
Are you REALLY leaving this time? Seven years ago you said that FR was a big "circle jerk" and left, but then you came back for some reason.
Funny that around 7 years ago she began her drive to elected office.
It’s lonely and unpopular to stand on principle. No matter what they say people are social creatures and want to be “accepted” so they surrender to the bullies.
Your negativity should be focused on the leftist scum polluting this once great country and not on the good folks on FR who have not given up. If you yourself have given up, you can go to hell for all I care.
It’s true that no man is an island. The trouble is, most would rather be sheep.
One need only look on political blogs to see how far what was the political right was has fallen. People posting anon can’t even stand behind that shield and uphold principle, much less put their names to their beliefs.
Not that I hold anything against anon posters. I do not blame anyone for being cautious today where one post can get you gestapoed. But my point is they don’t stand boldly behind conservative principle because they simply don’t believe in them. Much less be willing to put their name to it.
Give up?!
I'm not aware that Hildy was EVER on the same side as the rest of us. She might be a loyal Republican, but that's about it.
I/our paper used to cover events she spoke at and even events she initiated. At one point, she was by all indications, TEA. She got a lot of grief locally in this Republican area for it. Rocked the boat quite a bit.
But power corrupts. Perhaps even the thought of it. Regardless. Today tells the truth.
Did you pay the child a living wage for doing that chart?
You point is well taken. If that is the case, then why does she come here other than to be a troll?
Reminds me of a video I saw about "gaslighting". Forget the guy's name though. He used the movie "Gaslight" to describe the current political scene. He opined that what we're being told isn't true and we know they're lying but they keep saying it and we eventually buy it. We believe them instead of our lying eyes.
