There have been bad decisions made regarding the LAT/WP lawsuits and the Eschoir action. Some of the players were less than honorable, and the results certainly not what we desired. But Jim Robinson was, is, and always has been an honest man who took on the establishment with his bare knuckles. If he got beaten, we all got beaten. Freedom got beaten. The Constitution got beaten. And our Republic got beaten. For you to glory in that defeat, or to slink away in fear shows your moral mettle. Thank God Jim had more guts than you.
If he needs help patching the bullet holes he took for us, I for one will be glad to pitch in and do my part. If that means funneling money into the Defense Fund, nobody ever said freedom was free. (Not that facts matter to you, but Jim hasn't paid one dime to the Times/Post for their "judgment.")
You are at best a sunshine patriot, a fair-weather friend. The loss of folks like you -- and the company you keep: Don Morgan, Nav, Mojo, et. al. -- is no great loss for this forum, or for this Republic.
That didn't hurt much to admit, now did it?
Thank you.
Eschoir was a problem way before I came into this forum.
Your bashing helps exactly nothing, including restoring this site to its original glory.
I am answering two questions that were solicited by the owner of this site. I answered them honestly. I don't think the site can be restored because
1. Times change and people come and go. Today's issues are not yesterdays issues.
2. The original core of conservative Republicans were alienated from this site. That included Matt Drudge (Who delinked the place) and Lucy Goldburg who had invested a lot of her time to this site. It also includes the Don Morgan's, Navigator's, Bostons, and Mojo's whose only sin was that they actually LIKE the constitution we already have and happen to have found George Bush prefferable to Al Gore in early 1999.

Exactly, and I don't think it ius unpatriotic of me to simply say " I am not going to pay for those mistakes".

I do not have a strong linkage in my mind between the integrity of our Constitution and institutions and the financial success of Free Republic.

I don't glory in its defeat. I have followed this saga, on and off, for over two years. It is a very interesting soap opera. I enjoy the site, I just do not politically identify with it quite like I did when I joined it in 1998.
If he needs help patching the bullet holes he took for us,
How did he take a bullet for you? I really am curious.

If your sense of freedom depends on the Free Republic surviving in spite of its bad decisions then mortgage your house, I really would appreciate it, because I DO enjoy the site. I will even thank you in advance. I just don't find its survival to be a make or break kind of thing for our country.

I think their loss was THE BIG LOSS to this forum. And it was the underlying reason's for their going that was the big loss.
