In the spirit of Christmas, and in the hopes of making our latest FReeperthon a rousing success, how about granting a "Battlefield Absolution" to Arator, Harry and the rest of the vagabonds currently lost and circling the most outer ring of the internet????
Well, this is certainly interesting, to say the least. Particularly the bolded sentence. I saw your earlier comments about the "vote" being 453 to 3 or some such number like that. Well, good for you! Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if the vote is.....
453 to 3; or
4,530 to 3; or
45,300 to 3; or even
4,530,000,000 to 3!
What matters is what the judge says. That's all that counts at this point. And you're the one that got Free Republic to this point. You yourself did it. You should've sought better counsel on this issue. I'm given to understand that some offered you the advice to link, not cut and paste, yet you ignored it, thereby ultimately sentencing to death the goose that lays the golden eggs for your family. Are you aware that you could've easily carried on for YEARS by just taking the cautious approach?
Some, such as Monty on the AFer main board (www.delphi.com\frureform - check out his comments), think that you'll try to cut a deal with the LAT/Post over this. That may be a tough deal to cut without showing them the books.
I find it interesting, a "conservative" such as yourself, intends to fight this battle against these evil "corporate" interests, as you posted earlier on this thread. That doesn't sound like a typical comment that would come from a "default" conservative mind, IMHO. No, I would say that the best thing that you could do for the conservative cause would be to fade away into the night.
Our asking for accountability is really no different than what you and others here asked of President Clinton. How can real conservatives do otherwise? I find it amazing that people's minds critical thinking has shut down, when the obvious answer here to so much of this is the application of Occam's Razor.
The only explanation of this is that you are considered one of "ours," as opposed to "theirs," so people's minds are turned off to a certain degree. This is, IMHO, a failing of all human beings, not just conservatives. Liberals applied it to President Clinton.
Speaking of President Clinton, did you vote for him in 1992? Who did you vote for in 1988? I ask you this question because after reading some of your comments that have been saved by the AFers of longer standing than myself, one can logically conclude that you didn't vote for the Republican candidate. I did.
How could you vote for such a man as President Bush Sr., whom you repeatedly accused early in this board's history of being involved in CIA inspired coke and gun running? You yourself say you got interested in politics during the Iran Contra hearings. Since this is so, more than likely your views of then Vice President Bush were formed during that time, if not earlier. Logically, it doesn't follow, since you yourself have admitted to being a Democrat until recently, that you would turn around and pull the lever in '88 for Bush. Especially keeping in mind your early comments here regarding Bush Sr.'s and the government's coke running. After all, remember Bush Sr. was in charge of that alphabet agency the CIA!!
I see Buckley's released to Arator and K.U.S.S. his email trail on the whole Winston & Strawn bill. Interesting. You gonna sue him for breach of Attorney/Client privilege? Let it all come out, for the conservative movement that you love. Let all the emails come out.
I hope you realize that at this point, with what's already come out, if the rest is not released, it will only spur on the controversy. I would suggest, for once, cutting us off at the pass and allowing him to release all of it. Then you can battle it out with all the information known. You know, the Clintonesque dribble thing doesn't help it go away. End the modified limited hang out.
Clinton's a Liar -
Thanks for your "get a life" post. I have a good one. Guess you wanted one also, and that's why, according to the Mojo Files, you did what you did in terms of wanting to keep front and center during the MFJ. Let me ask you, did this do the conservative movement and the country much good, in terms of getting rid of Clinton? One would think that you would want the best for your country, and NOT just simply follow your own self interest, which was to get out of being a secretary. One would think that if you were interested in the goal of getting rid of Clinton, you would be for the best public presentation possible. A notable, not an unknown.
Why did you respond to Donna the way you did, calling her a vulgar word, and then saying "God Bless" to all later on the thread? This isn't about me getting a life. It's about getting to the bottom of the hole here, and exposing hypocrisy. It's about what's best for conservatives (in the broadest sense of the term) and this country.
