Way too many vanity threads lately. And way too much trash being posted. Please try to stay on topic (politics). Also, please do a search on a significant word from the title of your article before posting. This will reduce the number of duplicates. And, along these same lines, please use the original titles on your article posts. Do NOT edit the titles. Do NOT use "My Title" titles. This will also help to reduce the number of duplicates.
And, whatever else you do, please DO NOT post from DEMOCRATS UNDERGROUND (or any other such trashy un-American socialist hangout). Free Republic was intended to be a socialist free zone. We've gone to a heck of a lot of trouble to make it that way. Why in the world would you think we would be interested in having their trash posted here?
And QUIT trashing each other. You know who you are. Knock it off! Way too many flamewars and feuds going on. And, while I'm thinking about it, QUIT trashing our conservative candidates. If you want to criticize someone's position on some policy, have at it. But do not trash or smear the man. That would include Browne, Buchanan, Bush, Keyes, et al, or whomever else may be your favorite trashee (examples listed in alphabetical sequence). The idea is to get more conservatives elected, not to trash the ones you don't like. If you want to trash someone, make it a Democrat.
Thank you.
And QUIT dredging up old communist propaganda to smear our conservatives. Sheesh! Whatever else you may think about our guys, they did not hijack airliners full of people and crash them into buildings. No, my friends, not even the dreaded CIA. Anyone who would believe (or even suspect) that crap is no FReeper. I've been pulling this crap whenever I see it and several people have been banned for continuing to post it. I do not want it on Free Republic. Any current FR poster who believes this leftist propaganda, please logoff immediately, send me your resignation via email, and I will delete your account.
Thanks,
Jim
You happen to recall how the crew of the U.S.S Pueblo managed to signal the world that they were still defying their North Korean captors, with a posed propaganda photo in which they had all extended their middle fingers in the supposed *Hawaiian good luck* gesture? I'd bet Pearl knows the story behind that pic, and of the beatings and torture those crewmen suffered for sending that message.
Good thing that FRee Republic wasn't around back then: some moderator likely would have probably deleted their pic too, helping the North Koreans out, whether intentionally or otherwise. The Koreans would still be holding those crewmen, just as they still hold the Pueblo
That puts the Free Republic secret police in about the same category as Taliban Johnny Walker, so far as I'm concerned, and they're the ones giving FReepers more and more of a reputation as hypocritical single-minded bigots who tolerate no dissent from within the ranks.
Thank You...
Registered, I'm happy to say, has not been banned.
In all my time at FR, I have never read such acrobatic, specious reasoning.
We aren't mind readers.
That aside -Im of the opinion that if it was shown in other venues (your pic), it should be fair topic for discussion.
But I also like spam sammiches, so go figure
Am I slow? What in the world...
In all my time at FR, I have never read such acrobatic, specious reasoning.
Perhaps if you'd dealt with them firsthand, you'd be more open to such possibilities.
