VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

My, what a quality thread this is...

Now, if they could just learn to punch a chad!

Ah ... criticism from West Virginia. How it stings! (I was going to say something about Robert Byrd, but I've got Bob Graham.)

"Liberty Post? What's that? Who cares?"

It's the present incarnation of what was originally known as "The Free Republic Lifeboat." - It is something that will always exist, as there will always be those who buck the powers that be, here at FR, and get banned for whatever length of time Jim sees as appropriate, and need a place to go to lick their wounds. (I was once one their retched number)

Who cares? - Those who are over there simmering, and few else. - Some will get over it, and some will not. Those who wish to be in any way effective will return, since while they are there, they are invisible.

BTW - to all lurkers - it should be noted that the evolutionists never refute anything I say, they just insult me without proof for telling the truth about them

Dude, it's the font color. Lose it.

You could as easily have mentioned Rockefeller. (Shudder!)

Thanks to Sandy..

Due to my advancing age, it took a while to wise up.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you so very much for your post, Stultis!

[hchutch]

I don't believe this - I'm not on that list? I'm going to feel left out.

[DittoJed2]

Ironically, they aren't invisable now. I didn't even know about libertypost.org until JimRob posted this thread. Judging from what has happened to the donation scale, I suspect he knew what the effect would be. It certainly made that thermometer rise.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank you for the heads up to your post! Hugs!!!

[Miss Marple]

Hey, I'm not on the list, either!

Maybe we should start our OWN list!!

[proud American in Canada]

I've been meaning to bump this .......

[Miss Marple]

Dude, it's the font color. Lose it.

Do you know how much I have been wanting to say that? HA!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I read your mind. Wait, I really am you.

[MEG33]

It just hasn't been the same in Texas since the oil boom...went bust!....Congratulations Florida!

[Jim Robinson]

What thermometer? LOL

Woohoo! Less than $9k to go!!

Just in:

$100 from California
$125 from Missouri


Thank you California and Missouri!!

Go California!! Go Missouri!!

Go FReepers!!

[editor-surveyor]

" It certainly made that thermometer rise."

Yep, in fact, I just kicked in $ 100.00 out of sheer guilt!!

It used to be that California and Texas would have a big 'battle of the pride' on these occasions, but we seem to be in the doldrums. :o(

[Sandy]

Was I right? You had your Akstons mixed up?

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you editor-surveyor!!
