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.

I know,that's where I suggested this belonged.I think anyone who has the time can start an appropriate forum...ask Jim.I belong to some ongoing forums here and the "sponsors" work really hard!

Yeah we are ... weedacracy - rats --- not !

my new mode ... ex freeper --- visitor !

[headsonpikes]

Yes, there was mockery, sanctimony, pedantry, bile and divisiveness before the maleficent ALS appeared.

However, he did his mightiest to fan every flame into a conflagration and to whip up fanaticism. No poster, on either side of the debate, was as malicious as the blackguard ALS.

I, for one, was not unhappy to see him gone, one fine day.

[Michael_Michaelangelo]

Funny, I never saw you on any of the Crevo threads. Under another nick, perhaps?

FRegards, MM

Als is my spirital - net guru ... guide --- best friend !

I' ve talked to him everyday on the phone for 5 mos ... I'm going to put my project on his site --- this place is history - over !

[MEG33]

OPUS?

[headsonpikes]

my new mode...ex freeper --- visitor !

Well, that'll be a switch for you...

Being the 'visitor', I mean.

Opus - missed you will be - young Skywalker

Strong - the force - in you - is

Stay - go - your choice

Here - like you - we do

[stands2reason]

Atheists cannot be conservatives. They can be Republicans, but they cannot be conservatives because they deny that there is any moral imperative.

LOL!!! You have a source for this, other than your say-so?

[f.Christian]

Who in their right mind can stomach this slop ... rudeness --- masochists - sadists only !

You should remain in your element --- undisturbed !

Peace in the hell town ... you can beat each other's empty heads out !

Life will go on ... happily !

[stands2reason]

And another thing...I'd like to see one quote, just one, from an atheist denying moral imperative. Atheism is not equal to amorality.

[headsonpikes]

I rarely posted, mostly lurked.

I was interested in the science - it fell through the cracks because of Cotton Mathers such as the erstwhile ALS.

Perhaps we can gain some understanding of the Perverse Preacher archetype in the American popular pantheon through observing the effectiveness of his style, while he lasted.

Jim Jones' people drank the original Koolaid, remember. ;^)

I guess the Perverse Preacher makes those who fall to his charms feel 'special'.

Well let's see. I checked on gore, ditto, andrew and effdot. None of them seemed to have been banned, and they were pretty oppositional last night. I suspect management is pretty forgiving of tantrums. The only thing I know of that is unforgivable is going to another site and badmouthing or threatening this one.

[headsonpikes]

See my #2975.

If you visit ALS, don't drink the Koolaid.

No smiley.

[stands2reason]

especially the non-christians, who spend major amounts of time defending the Christian faith from attacks by the ACLU, and other groups.

Thank you. I'm not a Christian, but I am pro-Christian---I'm usually on the side of Christians in most debates. But I'm not a creationist. But that doesn't mean I'm an "evo---atheist---devil worshipper" either. I avoid the crevo threads like a plague.

[Chad Fairbanks]

I avoid the crevo threads like a plague

Yeah, me too, especially since I believe that The Creator used Evolution as his tool of creation... I'd get it from both sides ;0)
