Disagree. Yesterday Free Republic functioned just fine. All the participants did what they are known for, expected to do, and did it well.
You don’t like some of what they did? You don’t like some of their/our opinions? Your opinion is also part of Free Republic, and you’ve done your duty for the cause as did the others.
Free Republic works whether it’s in the positive in your opinion, or in the negative in your opinion.
I noted your remark about an Opus, and so be it. I think it’s pretty stupid to jump off the opinion bandwagon such as FR over your perception of the opinions of others. “H” that’s what we all are here for.
I for one posted my suspicions, and that I am taking a wait and see attitude. I personally think it unwise to jump onto the joy wagon because of information dispersed by a serial liar such as Obama without one iota of proof to back it up.
Some say well I wouldn’t call Navy Seal’s liars, but then when did the Seal’s tell us at this point that they did as was reported? They didn’t. Obama reported they did it. He’s the one with the track record as Liar in Chief.
Get over it. Your vanity post shows you want to participate. So keep up the participation, or Opus out. You’ve been a participant for a long time. Makes no sense to Opus out over this.
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.
The seals aren’t allowed to talk about it. All we have is the word of the higher-ups, who owe their jobs to Obama.
I do believe that Osama is dead. Something happened, and there are photos that are supportive that it was a raid of a compound in Pakistan. Whether there could have been a double for Osama like they had for Saddam, I don’t know.
What this whole thing is showing, I think, is that people HAVE learned that people in government and media are willing to tell tall tales, or to go along with whatever story is in vogue without actually checking the facts. And Obama is a notorious liar, which makes him dangerously non-credible. He seems to think that because he lives in the White House we have to believe and trust him. But trust is earned, and you don’t earn people’s trust by flipping them off whenever they ask for verification of the claims you make.
