It is known the Obama Aministration has paid operatives who infiltrate sites like Free Republic and cause contention through smears, insults and disinformation.
How do we know that you're not one of them? I've been reading Free Republic for over a decade and have seen quite a variety of opinions from members. It seems to me that the best way to destroy Free Republic is to start calling for witch hunts based on a couple of comments you disagree with.
“...witch hunts...”
You have a good point.
I’ve been coming to Free Republic a long time, and have used two different names due to a move from one locale to another, and one of my pet issues is picking unnecessary disputes with other posters.
I don’t care if someone else’s spelling or grammar is terrible, or if they have an opinion different from mine, but I care very much that they NOT attack another freeper from informing the rest of us about creeping government censorship, which is occurring incrementally, and the attack is phrased in ‘snarky’ terms.
Right now banks are collapsing in Spain. These banks received huge loans from banks in England and Germany, to which U.S. banks have lent huge sums, and all the collateral is hypothecated (the same collateral used over and over and over again). This portends the beginning of a domino effect, which over a year ago was predicted to run for about 10 days before collapsing the world’s economy, taking out the entire European and U.S. economies, and reaching to Japan and China. The collapse will be global.
Does this sound like I’m a paid operative of the White House? I want to get information out to people so they can best position themselves in the onrushing economic storm, which may just cause the Obama Administration to impose nation-wide Martial Law and suspend the Constitution.
This, and the attempts by the Obama Administration to control news outlets and groups like Facebook and Youtube, should scare the Hell out of people.
Quite clearly there ARE agents provocateurs on FR, identifiable to the older members. Assuredly, if a conservative tries to give opinion on DU, you get hosed out.
There is nothing more divisive to the “borderline” dems.. and the so called “moderates”, and even the ultraleft than ownership and bearing of firearms. Secretly or not so secretly, one finds out that Diane Feinstein (in her case even more egregious in that her husband and she are arms dealers w/the red chinees), Schumer, Rockefeller and legions of PC lefties, own and bear firearms, and so called “assault weapons” (meaning of this term has been deliberately distorted). So this becomes... “do as we say.. but we are better than you....so don’t do as we do”. Like Animal Farm, more “equal” than others.
Fair point about variety of opinions, and at the same time the main page of the FR Forum states the positions of the sponsors/owners.
