From the Real Conservative Republican

Univ wrong to place prestige above principle “Palin weighs in”

Boston Herald ^ | 05-17-09 | Holly Robichaud

Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, a strong pro-life advocate, weighed in on the issue with me by e-mail:

“My favorite grandpa, Clem James Sheeran, was Catholic. Irish to the core, his favorite place (other than church) was Notre Dame.

I can’t imagine what he would think as the university recognizes someone who contradicts the core values of the Catholic faith by promoting an anti-life agenda.

As we learned today, our nation is more pro-life than ever before; it is a very important time to strengthen the message that every baby is created for good purpose and has the potential to make this world a better place.”

Conservatism is not about name calling, attacking others, or bullying. I get enough of that from the Obamanites.

And the Clintonistas before them, etc. I'm always sad when I see the name-calling here. Even sadder with seeing folks glorifying involuntary anal sex as a punishment.

Conservatives must stop eating their own and unite in order to take back each district across this country.

Yeah. I pray we can do that. Things look pretty bad at the moment.

Yup; we’ve discssed that previously. Little Applegate Valley. “Officially” Buncom, OR...look for it on the net.

Well, it is a bad thing when paleoPaulie would apparently have little trouble abolishing the Defense Department

When did he ever propose that? He didn't.

PaleoPaulie's Congressional seat should be occupied by a patriot and not by the incumbent 9/11 Troofer.

Obviously, you weren't paying attention during the campaign. Dr. Paul lost a lot of that crowd when he wouldn't press the issue.

Of course, it's just a lot easier to name call and spout patent nonsense. Are you really happy we got The Messiah?

Oh, my! Some people NEVER give up !!!!

(Pingin’ the ZOT list!)

The already ZOTTED Zottee sez:

- - - - - - -

** The history of “Zot”. **

- - - - - - -

So here’s the History of Zot in the FreeRepublic Universe!:

http://www.freerepublic.com/~adminmoderator/

There are one or two individuals who, for whatever reason, enjoy signing up new accounts here every single day to post leftist drivel. Sometimes they are vanities from DemocraticUnderground. Sometimes they are articles from other far-left sources. Sometimes they are nothing but vile doctored images or profanity laced tirades. Sometimes they are from legitimate sources but happen to strike the eye of the poster as being something that would infuriate conservatives.

The posters in question always post the articles, and then don’t reply. They then post other articles, again not replying. This was going on for months. Jim would confirm by looking at the IP addresses and other aspects of the user’s ‘footprint’ that it was the returning troll, and we would nuke the accounts. This went on for months.

Then some of the opportunists who wanted to harm the forum started a whispering campaign, complaining about articles being deleted. They would play off of the fact that the trolls’ articles were being pulled to complain that there was some sort of agenda of squelching legitimate conservative postings going on by the moderators.

One day I decided to try something new. I decided, instead of letting the trolls get what they want and have their posts up as flame bait, and instead of pulling the threads outright, I would move their post aside and replace it with something that hopefully others would find humorous. I would do this out in the forum for all to see. The original piece would be available through the history link for the curious, who could see if there was some sort of censorship campaign going on. And the freepers could have fun mocking the troll if they so liked.

It so happens that the way I did it the first time was using a screen shot from Caddyshack, where the pastor gets hit by a lightning bolt. Being a bit of a fan of the comic strip “B.C.” I captioned the photo with the lightning bolt sound that Johnny Hart used in his strip- ZOT! That is where the term Zot originated.

Now, sometimes we “zot”, and sometimes we simply pull it. It depends on a number of factors, including how busy we are at the time. But whenever you see a Zot, you can be sure that the user was a ‘newbie’ who was doing their hit-and-run posting, and that if you as a well-established freeper thought the article would have made an interesting discussion, then you could probably post the same piece yourself without incident (although the most vile of the stuff probably would get pulled, and Jim reserves the right to remove anyone who he feels is constantly trying to push leftist propaganda on the forum). Anyway, that is the history and background behind zotting.

Cindy Sheehan was a supporter of RINO Paul

Is that supposed to mean something?

Everytime RINO Paul’s name is mentioned, you say, Obama.
Defending RINO Ron is the same as defending Obama,
only RINO Ron would have cut and run sooner in Iraq and Afghn. and leave it to the IslamOfascists.

If I had a candidate who was supported by a Marxist Code Pinko loon, I would have a problem with that.

I have gone toe to toe many times with other Conservatives Republicans countering Code Pinkos at rallies etc.
Their line is the same as the PaulBots.

Ron Paul excused Al-Qaeda’s attacks on America:

In the single most repulsive moment of the entire Presidential race so far, Ron Paul excused Al-Qaeda’s attack on American with this comment about 9/11,

“They attack us because we’ve been over there. We’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years.” In other words, America deserved to be attacked by Al-Qaeda.

This is the sort of facile comment you’d expect to hear from an America-hating left winger like Michael Moore or Noam Chomsky, not from a Republican running for President — or from any Republican in office for that matter.
