I admire Mr. Robinson for his willingness to provide a conservative forum. Sadly, this forum does little to diminish the impacts of the issues to which freepers respond.
Do we intend to simply continue to satisfy our need to express our outrage by useless postings? At what point do we direct this common spirit into political (and non-violent) activism? I envision a future post that says Hillary provides nukes to Bin Laden and the Freeper response would be limited to posting a thousand I-Hate-Hillary posts. What is our threshold, if not the current events? What will it take to get us organized into productive action?
For example, the threads accurately suggesting that Clinton was treasonous seem to indicate that there is a general belief in gross, criminal wrongdoing and crimes against the state. But if we believe that, why are we content with only posting? Yes, we all agree about the issue, but isnt Clinton lucky to have critics who conduct their responses to crime by complaining in cyber space?
I like Bush, but I remain angry with him and with Ashcroft for not directly pursuing these Clintons. As a result, Bush has perpetuated the Clinton damage that the whole world sees. Such completely awful Clintonian behavior has not only gone unpunished, it has been rewarded by the United States. Bush was elected to restore dignity and to clean up. He has not exhibited signs of acting against those who soiled the nation the Clintons. Why?
Now we must come together to demand Bush acknowledge the mandate to move against the Clintons. America seeks an assessment of blame, and the Clintons, in their arrogance, have provided an obvious solution. Recent incidents have raised the public perception (and disgust) about Clintonian evil.
Bill, as a former war protesting draft dodger and former Commander-in Chief, publicly blames America for terror inflicted upon it. Hillary, as senator of the state where terror struck, when greeted by a crowd that she was unable to hand-pick and control, is nationally booed by the people that allegedly voted for her, exposing that the true public despises her. Chelsea, as a brainwashed idiot, has been recently exposed as both a fool and a liar.
Public awareness of Clintonian evil is growing. At a minimum, Clintons should all be stripped of pension and protection based on their anti-Americanism. At a midpoint, they should be imprisoned for civil and criminal acts. At full measure , the Clinton clan should be tried, convicted, and punished as traitors.
Jim, it is your forum, and you have a huge and growing following. You have achieved recognition on almost all conservative news outlets. Can you somehow develop an effective action committee? Isnt our collective inaction tantamount to tacit approval, or is it something far worse?
Jim, would you respond?
Well thank you for letting us know your opinion of Free Republic, Jim and the Freepers.
Reality is a stern taskmaster. Firstly, no president in history has ever allowed investigation of a former president. Most often for good reasons.
Secondly, as for activism, I agree with your premise, but again reality gets in the way. It takes money, time, people and dedication, FR has none of these in hand.
As for history, no former president investigated by next Prez. But this is unlike any other former president. If not now calling for change, then what?
Posting information is a vital first step in educating people about important matters. Many grass root activities have been organized as a result of articles posted on Free Republic. What activities have you participated in as a result of FR.?
Chelsea free of spin? Not in a million years.
FReep Halibut Award-- Dishonorable Mention
We agree on the value of posting, but it relies on follow-up action, which I am seeking Jim's help in promoting
Please focus on my intent, as uninformed as it may seem. Can't we do more than yak?
So, does anyone have any intelligent and workable ideas that we can implement to see to it that justice is served?
I wonder if those in the media that acknowledge FR would help - Rush, Sean, Mike, etc...and how about Ms. Coulter?
Money...Perhaps you recall the two ads from long ago that FR had in the Washington Times. Getting the money was worse than pulling hens teeth. The end result was worth it as it got FR put on the cyber map.
Presidential sins...Never ever trust any politician, of any stripe, to leave office with clean skirts, it has never happened.
As for your comment about it always being this way with past politicians, it seems almost to play into the hands of the "everybody does it" and the "let's just move along" crowd...
