Threat Matrix : Code of Conduct
Please pay close attention:
PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES

***Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints***

There will be NO bashing any mods, it will be taken private or there will be NO MORE Threat Matrix !!! That comes from the top!

Please everyone here review the following rules, they are not posted just for fun, they must be adhered to!

Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.

Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button.

Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.

Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.

Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.

Do stay on topic - FR has varied topics for whatever you need to say

Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting.

Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.

Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it

We cannot stress the following enough:
{{{Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic or Threat Matrix not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.}}}

The United States of America has some of the smartest leaders in government, military, and business in the world. Yet the American government has failed to collectively use this formidable brain-power 5+ years after the attack by Jihadists on the American homeland to develop a truly strategic plan to fight the global threat of Jihad and Islamist extremism. In one of the most complex wars in American history, rather than starting with holistic, big-picture thinking towards the challenges and prioritizing resources and actions accordingly, America has spent much of the past five years after 9/11 in reactive and bureaucratic churning.

The problem is that about half of the country doesn't understand (doesn't WANT to understand) that we're in a war - a war that has been declared on us because of who we are, i.e. the leading Western power. Sadly, roughly half of our "leaders" (i.e. most of the Dem Party, and some Republicans) are either too stupid to understand what's going on, or they're not taking it seriously and using/fanning doubts about the war to serve their own political interests. The dinosaur media, which most of the public still pays attention to, is largely a cheerleader for the enemy, further compounding the problem.

IOW, we're fighting a very limited engagement with our hands tied behind our back. Welcome to the first PC war (and hopefully the last). I pray that we survive despite ourselves, and learn the appropriate lessons. Bismarck's quote "God protects fools, drunks and the United States" remains accurate, as does Churchill's that "the Americans always do the right thing, after trying everything else first."

Let's hope 2007 is a quiet year. I have no reason to believe it will be.

Just heard this one over the scanner. A United Airlines service vehicle was stolen from O'Hare. License 671 1278. It has a City of Chicago decal allowing it access to ALL secured areas of the airport. Hopefully they will find it quickly.

I'll post updates as I hear them.

Off Topic.

Note: the following text is a quote:

Ellison named to Judiciary Committee
Watch for legislation to outlaw "religious profiling." From Associated Press, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

WASHINGTON - Rep. Keith Ellison has been named to the House Judiciary Committee, a panel that has oversight over issues such as civil liberties, immigration and courts....
"I look forward to pursuing a progressive agenda in the committee, including the restoration of American citizen's civil liberties that have come under increasing attack over the past six years," said Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress.

Ellison, a freshman lawmaker, said this week he'd like to see a ban on racial profiling, an issue that could come up in the Judiciary Committee.
