Fight on, Brave Freepers of Parcifal! We're with you.
Why are you here if you're a Democrat??
Neuvocat said he banned me for "ranting" about Clinton. I disagree, but it is your site and you are well within your rights to run it as you please. I admit some confusion as to how "Clinton worship" became a canon of the left-wing movement. His politics were often more Republican than Democrat. I would challenge neuvocat to resurrect those comments for the rest of you at DU to decide whether or not they were "rants". I suspect that he/she will not.
As far as myself, I do have some beliefs that are more left-wing than right-wing. Many freepers accuse me of being a commie pinko on a regular basis. I am also a Democrat. I switched parties to protest GOP support of bankruptcy reform. I am greatly older than 14 chronologically. I will be a grandfather in December. Mentally, and outlook-wise, 14 is probably pretty close, maybe a little high.
As far as the "Ultimate Freep": yes it is a real project. Yes, it will not be pleasant for many of you at DU, bartcop, and other democratic sites. No, it isn't illegal. Yes, we Freepers will laugh our a**es off when it comes to fruition. Yes, you will feel like schmucks! No, you will never figure it out unless a freeper squeals.
I did enjoy my brief stay at DU under the name of parsifal. I did not tell lies or try to "disrupt." I did not engage in threads where I would confront you with conservative theory. I tried to stay on those where I could reply honestly within "leftish" limits. Just like at Freerepublic, I call it like I see it. Here at FR, I am met with debate and discussion. At DU, my arguments were handled in a different fashion. You made me "go away." I do hope that your site improves in quality and intellectual content. A good, honest opposition party makes the majority party stronger. Honesty, truth, and a good healthy debate are good things, not bad things.
I suggest that those of you with the little quotations on the bottom of your replies, add this one. It is from Mark Twain's "The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg" --"Lead us into Temptation."
In the meantime, prepare for the Ultimate Freep! parsy.
Impossible! Preposterous!
I am not married
Note to DU lurkers: some of us know when to step out of the spotlight and let better qualified folks take over. Someone should tell your hero Bill Clinton that his recent attempts to remain front and center, his standard self-serving actions are both graceless and undignified today.
Quote Walt Starr ...
The thing is, I spent so much time living in Wyoming (about 20 years) that I've got their rhetoric down pat. Heck, I've known people who make the Freepers look like left wingers! I figure if I post at least a few times each week (making a weekend my bigger posting days) basically agreeing with them and spouting the appropriate rhetoric, I'll be in like Flynn within a couple of years. I plan for this to be deep ops covert stuff. I'm mostly doing this for information purposes. My plan is to be on top of their illegal doings during the 2004 election and gathering intelligence for our side. These guys are so dumb they openly post their illegal activities on the internet. If I'm able to get inside, I'll be privy to more intelligence. It's like what the FBI did to the Klan in the 60's. It's a nasty job, but somebody needs to do it.
Beware the new poster ... especially one who joins close to todays date ....
"I've got their rhetoric down pat."But whose rhetoric? Rockefeller Republican, Liberterian, neo-con, paleo-con, paleo-libertarian, classical liberal, McCainiac, anarcho-capitalist, the list goes on and on. There's a hell of a lot more intellectual diversity on our side than on theirs.
That's true, but some of it is because their "protectors" yank and ban with a very heavy hand. The average DU'er doesn't have to confront what he believes and test it because those who disagree get the deep six. I got jerked for arguing Clinton wasn't above the law. Tell me how Nader, for example, couldn't believe the same thing and still be Nader. parsy.
Don't worry, Parsy's sticking with old timers. He wouldn't even give me a fake plan!
