It's you who has engaged me over the course of the last week. I respond to your comments to me, not the other way around. You appear annoyed at these Ukraine threads, just as I am of your Sunday morning messes. The difference being I wouldn't comment on them, so it's puzzling why you're on these. But it's America, and FR is truly Free, so Enjoy!
I have been a FReeper since the beginning. I have always worked on the veteran side of things, serving with Jim Robinson on the board of VetsCor.
I am getting tired and disgusted with all these threads that put down our servicemen and military in order to make Russians or Chinese look invulnerable.
Conservatives don’t do that. Calling them gay or saying people who disagree with you are fags is more than childish and should stop. It is the politicians who push this gay ideology on the military. They’re as much victims of the powers-that-be as us conservatives. We don’t hate gays, we just want to be left alone and not worship somebody sexual proclivities, no?
My point on all these threads is no one has to do that. Logically push your case, but instantly resorting to gay this or that is gay itself.
I thought I could point that out this past week on these Ukraine threads. But I will never stand by and say nothing when my country (not the government) is being insulted. The military of the USA is not supposed to be political, as much as the woke would like.
Politically Washington works by trying out all their lies and narratives for the week on Sunday, via the shows. McCain and Biden were the perennial guest 20 years ago. Whatever nonsense they were pushing/talking about started there.
Why do people post articles from mainstream media? Because they believe it? NO!
They want the nonsense to be out there, public and then tore apart by other FReepers. That IS the essence of Free Republic, and why it's lasted so long.
Same thing as the Sunday shows. Even Tony Snow, who used to be the FNS host, and went on to be Bush's press secretary told us, that the various network hosts would read our Sunday news show comments ot see if they could get away with it. He praised us saying, “Nope, nothing get’s by FReepers.”
Anyway, no one twists anyone's arms to any particular thread on Free Republic, but I'll bet you don't let a Ukraine or Russia thread go by without taking a look and often making a comment.
