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.
As gently and as lovingly as I can write this, I must implore you to reconsider. The fruit of the Spirit is love, and what I have seen of this individual from his postings and the e-mails he sent to JimRob, this man is not filled with the Love of the Spirit. Please, just take a moment to consider...
Palpatine is no anarchist. Statist perhaps.... definitely not an anarchist.
Anyway, I didn't realize you had to play with snakes and speak in tongues in order to qualify as a conservative.
The first thing that came to my mind was one of those "JUST DAMN" posts by mhking.
I think I'm glad I have too much to do in real life to get too emotionally wrapped up in all this.
There's a bunch of free downloadable text colorizer programs available, but here's an online version:

When Captain Queeg started ranting about the strawberries and the dupe key to the wardroom nobody from the defense team tried to cut him off.
Historically, fundamentalist Christians have not always been conservative. For example, at the end of the 19th and in the early part of the 20th century, they heavily supported William Jennings Bryan, four-time Democratic candidate for president, who was an economic radical by the standards of the time. Their tendency to vote Republican is comparatively recent. I find it ironic that some of them, unaware that they themselves are comparative conservative newbies, are questioning the conservative credentials as others.
As for myself, I am agnostic, pro-life, pro-family, anti-gay-marriage...any other social conservative issues I need to be questioned on?
