Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

It turns out that some here seem to think "anti-FReeper" means FReepers or former FReepers who post on websites that those FReepers don't like.

What would you like to pretend that statement was, in order for my reply to fit your new version of events?

[ansel12]

Good explanation thanks.

“They apparently do not wish to have non-members and casual internet viewers to look at their chatty comments.”

LOL!

Well...I wonder “why”?

They said they weren’t an AF site.

“Thank you for standing up for me. There have been times when damned few have done so in this long war with these conservative-hating scumbags.”

You usually don’t appear to need help. If it makes you feel any better nobody defends much of anybody around here. We’re all just screennames, so I don’t take anything personally. Well almost...

...It is not their patriotism; it is their judgment that has been so sorely lacking.

I was thrilled to see Zell Miller's quote on your profile page! I had the immense pleasure of meeting him at CPAC in 2004, a few months prior to his appearance at the RNC. The following year, he again attended CPAC, and presented the SwiftVets the Courage Under Fire Award. Magnificent!

Strolling down memory lane...here is a photo of Admiral Hoffman grinning for my camera, along with John O'Neill and Bill Franke when they received the 2005 award. Lots more photos to share with you another day. Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

Hello gpapa, hope you are well. I do not speak for all....but when work is to be done...sometimes a quiet place is where you do it.

[EternalVigilance]

Thanks Luke.

Who is what?

Hey Kid!,,,Git Off That Roof !!...;0)

Oh, I'm not on any roof today. There's a LOT going on out there right now. LOL

The good guys are kicking some BUTT!! It's noisy as all get-out out there, but most of it is GOOD noise.

Prayers up for our troops' safety and success.

A backhanded slap on my part at those who think everyone who posts at WideAwakes or similar sites is an "anti-FReeper" or that those sites are "anti-Freeper" sites? Do you realize some very thoughtful FReepers in good standing are members of WideAwakes? Does that make them "anti-FReepers"? Isn't that insulting to them? Is name calling really necessary?

[NautiNurse]

If either of you want the NautiNurse self-appointed "Minister of Conservative Purity" to mediate this dispute, just ping me.

You are more than fashionably late to this party. Your comrade needed you hours ago when he fell over into a crumpled heap on the floor. He hasn't been able to climb back up to his feet since then. He keeps stumbling and showing is hind side to the crowd.

[BykrBayb]

Yes, and definitions to go along with those names.

[jedward]

And watch out for the bad guys.

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

Got That Rite...

[dukakis kerry the dream team]

Your comrade needed you hours ago when he fell over into a crumpled heap on the floor.

That is so lame. Without the posse, it just ain't the same...

[conservative in nyc]

Yes, to which question(s):

1) Do you realize some very thoughtful FReepers in good standing are members of WideAwakes?
2) Does that make them “anti-FReepers”?
3) Isn’t that insulting to them?
4) Is name calling really necessary?

[jedward]

“That is so lame. Without the posse, it just ain’t the same...”

Hey, that rhymed :)

[mkjessup]

Hello, That is over the line. NautiNurse does not deserve that.
MOgirl

1.) No, it wasn't 'over the line'.

2.) NautiNurse is a big girl and can take care of herself.

3.) As the Minister of Conservative Purity*, I fully approve of rbmillerjr, his posts, and his solid ideological view of the world.

You may all rise.

The fact is Darwin Central is a more open site than WA. There they explicitly state their disdain for FR and gloat over the exodus that is now occurring. They have a thread dedicated to that proposition that is 67 pages long. I should note that most of the former Freepers have exited quietly without accompanying rants against other members who are still here. You can not expect principled conservatives to not respond when confronted with such ranters, and sometimes with harsh language if need be. I admit some of the flaming has gone over the top and has caused some solid conservatives to leave, at least temporarily in protest. In fact a number of Freepers who signed up at WA are continuing to post at FR, and are just staying away from the political wars for now.
