The other problem I see is that through the various purges and opuses, we’re left with a large number of Bible thumpers and conspiracy theorists, and not much else around here.
Interesting, yes Trump’s Chumps and not happy about this.
I understand where Huck is coming from - I did not post yesterday nor did I read much. I agree with you. Glad that
he was killed. Love our troups and the Navy SEALS.
Not surprised that Obama claims the fame.
But, celebration .... Sorry, I don’t feel that yet.
I agree. I once couldn't stand to be away from Free Republic for more than a few hours each day, but FR seems to have become a haven for conspiracy theorists and nut jobs.
There are still a few level heads around, but almost invariably they are harrassed when they express their opinions. I'll bet I'll probably get a reply along the lines of "don't let the door hit you on the way out" before this thread is done.
Probably the only reason I continue to come to FR is because it is the best news aggregator on the web.
I guess peaceful dissent on FR should now be viewed as a problem. Apparently, no peaceful dissent means no problem. Mixed messages, anyone?
There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit. Ronald Reagan
The WH said they will release the video of the burial at sea and may release the corpse pictures. But it could be anyone buried at sea and pictures are easy to doctor. It’s all a big lie to take the heat off the birth certificate, right?
Free Republic is well known to gather million of viewers, its a fertile field for anyone to manipulate should they chose to, and that applies to both sides of the coin.
And its no secret an organized group has indeed been posting such forums to divide FR, mostly its petty instances like who hates red, who loves blue, and if you love blue you will live in paradise and your pet lions will sleep with sheep peacefully.
In as such as conspiracy theories FR actually does pretty good, or pretty bad depending on what you are led to believe in.As long as one can see the picture clearly its always apparent when an invasive forum appears, one that creates the impression of reality through repetition, through “verified” statements, through enough soft intimidation to force a new thought process to follow through, after all most people on the web are still herd animals.
I pretty much don’t bother posting as yes the style of threads are becoming more like the DU derogatory style. Thats because those at the DUmp are so heavily censored and controlled they have left, and have taken up residence in FR like termite ants.
That's pretty hard to separate much of the time; but in times like this country clearly comes first.
I am disturbed by the conspiracy mentality that I am seeing far too often on FR by some posters.
For some posters everything is a conspiracy. I really don't have a desire to engage in conversation with that type of thought pattern.
Should it result that this was your opus, you’ll have the consolation of knowing you were right.
Intermittently throughout the day, I would check FR, and it was a seemingly endless stream of political complaints, spin, conspiracy theories regarding the news. There was little or no actual celebration. That's what I saw. It never seemed to abate. I started to comment on a thread, but the whole thing really made me ill and I just skipped it. I thought about it on my way home and this morning decided to write down my thoughts.
Me too. I've been posting less and lurking more for that reason.
LOL, she must have a different problem in mind. I am not asking :)
“I found people transferring their birther mentality onto this event,”
I stopped reading right there. What in the heck is a “birther mentality” and how does it relate to bin Laden assuming room temperature?
Is a healthy skepticism about the eligibility of the person in the Oval Office because his father was not a US citizen now a mental disorder?
Are you for real!!! I feel great about our military taking out Obama. They did it in such a competent way. I give Obama zero credit. He just had to sign a piece a paper and he is so doggone stupid he had to be persuaded to do even that much “heavy lifting”. He wanted to bring Osama back alive for a trial. You obviously missed this showboating POS trying to hog most of the credit and BTW he never gave a bit of credit to GW Bush
So puhleeeeeze! My patriotic enthusiasm is reserved for those who made it happen. Navy Seals, CIA and our military
Oy. Don't get me started. What the hell has happened? Trump is popular here? De-evolution has hit FR hard.
I stopped reading right there.
Well they should release the info and stop treating us like children.
What would change if they release the pictures?
