Well it's been about 13 years forgot my initial sign in name, so pretty much from the beginning.
Never wanted to write a Free Republic Opus, love reading news stories here and commenting every day.
Would rather not go out in anger seems pointless.
Then today the owner of the site called me a RINO (I'm not), surrender monkey (not) and told me to write my opus and get out.
My sin was fighting with someone who suggested Obama losing in the latest poll is "bad news".
I could list all the insanity of what is going on here. I've tried to approach Jim Robinson in email to gently suggest the problems we are facing. It's clear from that he is not interested in discussing and resolving anything, which is a shame.
But what kind of man, American, conservative will I be if I worry more about losing my 12 year old screen name versus standing up to people who are espousing the advisability of reelecting Barack Hussein Obama, and yes if I fail to stand up to the owner of a site for calling me a liberal when I am a proud conservative?
What Jim Robinson is doing cannot work because first of all he is NOT attacking the posters who say it is best to reelect Obama. He's offended by anyone who says he is thereby supporting Obama. But he doesn't mind calling us names when we attack the pro Obamas.
OK folks, it's not going to work. You can't really oppose Obama's reelection if you may also oppose the republican's election.
Free Republic has become a house divided against itself and it cannot stand.
I'm a conservative I love my country, I have to wish away to the cornfield anyone who would assist in the reelection of Obama, from whatever misguided motivations.
I stand with Dick Cheney. The other day I had to fight with someone disparaging Cheney here. They were not criticized by the owner.
Jim Robinson owes me an apology. Not planning on getting one. The sad fact is I am not writing this because I'm offended. It's because I want to no longer assist here in the destruction of my country by those who will, to varying degrees, assist in Obama's reelection.
Six or seven liberals on the Supreme Court? Maybe atomic destruction down the pike after our disarmament. Israel destroyed. 2nd Amendment neutered. Obamacare used to deny people medical care based on age and political beliefs. Racial strife. A welfare socialist state. US attorneys going after republicans.
My wife is a cancer survivor who reasonably fears that in the future they will deny her care because she is a registered republican. And she's no RINO, she hates Obama and she won't read Free Republic stories anymore because of what is going on here.
We have a real country and real lives out here that go beyond Jim Robinson's ill advised name calling against sincere conservatives who dare to disagree with him.
So F anyone who calls me a RINO for standing with Dick Cheney and against Barack Obama. I hate RINO's and I despise misguided so called conservatives who do anything to reelect Obama.
13 years, but it's nothing when put to the wall on my beliefs against the left wing democrat party. I have too many mirrors to look in. The people here who are every day posting that it will be best to reelect Obama, should be thrown off. Instead, well...
It's over.
Now THAT is how it is. Very well said!
Why do suicide cowards have to leave a note?
The liberals have been satisfied with little incremental changes over many years, and they’re kicking our butts doing it. Conservatives will keep losing as long as we keep demanding total perfection all at once.
This standard for the “perfect” conservative candidate, does not and has never existed. If FR had been around for the 1980 election, we’d be giving Reagan the Romney treatment, because he was a RINO. He was pro-abortion, a former democrat, a union president... Not to mention a mere Hollywood actor. Clearly a RINO.
This is, suposedly, an open forum for the free exchange of opinions. If everyones opinion was the same we would be media matters. Your inane choice of terminology left a lot to be desired in the class category...Suck an egg???? not bad for 6th grade, but has no place among adults. Improve your vocabulary so you won't have to rely on childish phrases to express your opinions.
My post #220 explained it already.
How about you explain how you can “take off” your conservatism (IF Mitt is the last man standing)and allow an admitted Marxist to achieve the flexibility he wants to ensure the destruction of this country?
You will enable the Supreme Court tilt to the extreme left. You will enable the demise of Israel.
You will enable the rise of the race war.
You will enable Sharia law.
You will enable the end of our military.
You will enable the end of our nuclear safety.
You will enable our enemies.
You will enable the mandatory gay rights that will be taught beginning in kindergarten.
You will enable free abortions.
It’ll be on your head and those who choose to not vote Anti-O.
ABO.
Anyone who can claim a procedure, which performed successfully, will result in the death of one or more human beings is somehow "safe" just isn't smart enough to be POTUS, I don't care who they are.
With either Obama or Romney, that is just the beginning for me, but it is enough all by itself. I can't vote for the murder of unborn innocents, no matter who proposes it.
Perfection my butt. We are perfectly willing to vote for someone with a shred of conservative spine. Name ONE conservative thing Romney has ever done worth voting for him over. One. Can you?
BTW, I bet “Williams” in 2008 made the same arguments on why he HAD to support the weakest candidate, McCain.
Anyone with an IQ over 50 knows without Palin he’d have got about 38% of the vote.
I’m no longer being bullyed by the moderate RINO’s who keep putting up useful idiots that give us Dem-lite just to score a “win”. I started voting FOR someone in 1980 and I’m not stopping now.
Mitt Romney has yet to give me ONE reason to vote FOR him. NOT ONE! And a negative (I’m better than the other guy) doesn’t count.
From a guy who posts “scores” on his profile that show 25% liberal on personal responsibility and ethics.
Take abortion. If your choice is between two abortionists where one wants to kill the baby after it is born if unwanted and the other does not there is a difference. Yes, they are both evil. That's the reality of life. By choosing not to fight the greater evil more actual people, not make believe people, real people, are destroyed as a consequence. I don't believe God will reward people for that choice. A choice that cost them so little and others so much.
NOTE: This is directed at not only at fish hawk but a lot of other potential Romney voters. (You all know who you are)
You see folks, THIS is what is making us angry:
“...don’t go bitching here in “13” about how bad Obama is ruining our country because you helped put him there. “
The very idea, the INSULTING accusation that because we refuse to vote for Romney because YOU say so, WE are going to be responsible for Obama. WE are going to be responsible for the downfall of the country.
Well guess what pal? That’s BULL!
And of course the ever popular “Well, you go ahead and vote for Obama” insult.
And the also popular “you must want Obama to win” insult.
Or even “You must be a socialist” insult.
It is all insulting and THAT is the problem!
I have not seen anyone booted for admitting they are afraid of Obama and that they will vote Romney if he is the Republican candidate. I do recall more than one freeper directly insulting JR in one or more of the ways I just described. (Jim can correct me if I am wrong.....courtesy ping included above)
If you are convinced the world will end if Obama gets in again, then fine, do what you will.
But stop insulting the rest of us because we refuse to go along with YOU.
You ducked, now ducked again and explained nothing.
Nothing is on my head. I have a conscience, principles and the ability to one day stand before my maker and say “I did not support the man who sent you all those vaccu-sucked babies in little bitty pieces.
You, having free will, are free to make that choice. And your vote for Romney means that the big guy will continue to get returns in the stork hangar.
So tell me how knowingly voting for that is conservative.
This is truly pathetic. How many excuses can you ABO types come up with? Just admit it. Abortion is OK. Gay rights, Global Warming laws, eco mandates to stop drilling at all are ok. Admit it. Because even if you cannot bring yourself to do so, your vote SAYS you are OK with all that when you votw for the man who promotes it. If you were not, then you simply would not cast it that way. Period.
And the ones responsible for an Obama win will be the fake conservatives that enable the GOP in their cheating ways to push a liberal that many won't vote for.
Blame them. And yourself, since you enable the liberal wing of the GOP with your vote.
I'll bet you voted for Dole, too.

A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.
"Romney is a pathological compulsive liar. Lie after lie papered over with more lies. Doesn’t even flinch when caught in bald faced lies, simply tells another big whopper to cover up or dodge the issue.He cannot lie his way out of his decades long record of support for abortion, Roe v Wade, planned parenthood, gay rights, gun control, global warming, amnesty, liberal judges, big government, compulsory or socialized health care (RomneyCommieCare), mandates, Keynesian economics, support and approval of TARP, bailouts, stimulus packages, i.e, every damn liberal progressive issue that comes down the pike."
Reagan was nothing like that.
God has a whole book explaining that you fight “All” evil. Not greater or lesser to various extent.
One cannot vote for a lesser evil without having forwarded the goals of evil. But one can choose willingly to not promote any evil via their vote. And there are about 50 million eligible people in this country to vote for that do not harbor Mitt Romney’s brand of evil.
Choose wisely.
It won't.
What will is voting the presidential line and voting for conservatives down-ticket. Change is grass-roots, bottom-up.
We have to teach people to distinguish between turf and astroturf.

Exactly.
“An anti-Romney thread is a pro-Obama thread. “
More horse hockey.
Stop insulting us.
I’m not pushing for Romney. I really don’t care for him much. I won’t be voting for him, so much as I’m terrified of a second, lame-duck term for Obama. If Obama is re-elected we’re done. We are already crossing the threshold of 51% voting themselves the largess of the public treasury. It may already be too late. But if we have another Obama term, I seriously think we won’t be able to recover.
I think that’s something worth considering.
