To: Knitting A Conundrum; Jim Robinson
I just have to say this, I thought it was perhaps a mistake when the bannings started. I am glad to admit I was mistaken.
I visited WA.net just to see what they were saying, since the site is basically old freepers (not all banned). Jim Robinson was right. In fact he may not have gone far enough. They are now accusing us of being the “Deliverance Hillbilly wing of the Republican Party”. I consider myself to be fairly reasonable, but I saw the nastiness they were engaged in here, and tried to overlook it. Now, their true feelings are on open display. Don’t ask me why they were hanging out with us “hillbillies”.
Free Republic is a nicer place since a good portion of them left, and still Free Republic has a wide cross section of opinions and more than a few of the misguided Rudy supporters.
I believe FR will be able to grow from this, rather eye opening experience.

FR, safe for conservatism.
If you’re a conservative, you gotta love it.

Been avoiding going over there. Seems like with all the anger they bubbled up with, it’d be like dipping into a pool of muddy hot water.

They are now accusing us of being the “Deliverance Hillbilly wing of the Republican Party”. Of course they are. They are no different than the Dem party operatives who demand that blacks vote the Dem straight ticket every election.
Except we ain't going there. You can fly over us. But that does not earn our vote.

Excuse my ignorance, but could you tell me what WA.net is? I’m not familiar with it.
To: Hawk1976; Jim Robinson
That’s sad...we all (well, mostly) used to be friends.
I agree that Jim did the right thing...I’m sad to not communicate with some friends anymore...but I’m not leaving FR.
