Thank you for the kind words.
In response to your offer to reinstate those who wish to ask questions, Lindam would like to request posting permission.
Thank you in advance.
Paging BadJoe!
Screw the detractors.
I'll pay what I have to to help you all preserve and maintain this forum.
Don't take any crap from the 'loosers', Jim. LOL!
This thread and the official start Saturday morning "aint" gonna die till we hit 80 big ones.
Perhaps "Free Republic" ought to be renamed "Sado-masochistic Republic" since its a place where people who LIKE to be abused gladly pay for it.
Who ya gonna tell,Mojo? Arator?
FreeRepublic is a brick in the foundation of a conservative fortress that needs to be erected to protect our Constitution and our liberty, does it matter if there are personality conflicts? Do you think the Founders agreed on everything or there wasn't animosity on many issues? Imagine if Jefferson had refused to have anything to do with the Declaration of Independance because so many involved were friends with Hamilton. He was involved in something bigger than himself and his circle of friends. I view FreeRepublic that way. If you desire to have an impact on the direction that FreeRepublic is taking, then engage. Follow the rules of the site, but engage. If you do not view FreeRepublic as important, then walk away, but walk away with no animosity. If FreeRepublic is not a site of importance to the conservative movement, then it should not be important enough to feel bitter about and wronged by. I ask that you stay and help steer this ship, or at worst wish us Bon Voyage and don't try to hinder us.
LOL a confused welcome back.
Want some cheese?
Then come on back and get it, but quit whinning, and don't go laying back down on that nail again.
Yeah, I miss you too. I know your bigger than this. Forgive and forget./end subliminal
Should I bring that post over? SURE WHY NOT!
TLBSHOW SAYS! All of you if given a chance would be back on FR. I know harry would.

To: TLBSHOW007 (23 of 41) "I know harry would." BZZZZZ! So sorry. Jim Robinson misrepresented the reason I was banned (see post #692). Bryan came along in #880 and told the TRUTH about what happened. Robinson also said I was "damn near as caustic as Arator". Why would I go back there? Jim posted a bunch of crap that I couldn't rebut because HE, HIMSELF had banned me. And you think I want to go BACK????
Follow the story here.
I also agree with this statement, respectfully. As this can be a very dangerous trend for this forum in several different ways.
At one time, I was banned under another name, for what I believe was completely unjust. It may have been a simple misinterpretation of my position. I don't know and probably will never discover what actually triggered the action against me. However I must say that after privately corresponding with Jim Robinson via email and explaining my position, I was reinstated. And I sincerely appreciate that fairness.
That being stated, I feel the Free Republic *is* the premier news and talk forum on the entire internet if not the entire planet.
After being a regular visitor and subscriber on the Free Republic for approximately four years now, (two of those years were under another name) I have found that newspapers and television and other main stream media fall far behind this forum in regards to breaking news stories, follow-ups, creative people, and the debates. And, all of this with some degree of humor. I am very confident that we have some of the funniest damn people in the nation posting on this forum. And in this stressful environment we all live in, the humor is a nice ice breaker.
Long live the Free Republic. Good luck to all my fellow American patriots and freedom fighters against big government. And finally, I would like to see the support for the Free Republic remain voluntary and I will contribute when I possibly can.
