Ah, the wonderful sophmore year in high school! and with your spam pictures and nonsensical rants, seem to be the level of debate that you are most comfortable with.

In 1998 when we discussed allowing such posters as you to share this conservative forum some of us complained that allowing posters with misconceptions or just plain ignorance about conservatism to post here would just lower the level of debate to, well, what it has become here. You are an example...and a case in point against lowering the playing field to promote debate dialog in quantity while neglecting the quality and accuracy of debate.

I know that I have been here half the time you have, I am not one of the esteemed founders, however I am grateful I am allowed to post here. I also agree that some of their post are a bit over the top, but I have to ask, if I may be so bold, exactly what are the definitions of a “poster like you” and where is the line between misconceptions and ignorance about conservatism and a difference of opinion drawn?

I ask this because another poster with more time in than myself told me that all “True Conservatives” would only vote for Hunter. Now you as a Paul supporter seemed to have the inside track on all things conservative. So you will have to pardon my confusion...

I must have missed the part of Conservatism that caters to nut-balls and conspiracy kooks.

If you were part of the staff or whatever at the beginning of FR, then my confidence in them is shaken severely. Somehow I think you are overstating your role in this forum.

You can't act like a conspiracy baffoon, lob sophmoric lines at me, then accuse me of going against the grain of this forum.

It is you that must have fallen off the wagon. Freerepublic should not be a forum to propagate hate against America and to further kook conspiracy theories championed by Rosie O'Donald and Cindy Sheehan.

If you think you have enough power on this board to do something about it, then I double dare you to.

Take the Ron Paul nut-ball campaign to some forum composed of like minded wackos.
