Regrouping
JANUARY 22, 2016 ~ CONSISTENTCONSERVATIVES
This is an emergency means for us to keep in touch with our FRiends, who are real Conservatives, in case of purging. Or, if there is no purging, do we really want to continue our discussions in the forum where the owner despises us for not supporting his non-Conservative candidate?
My purpose is to figure out what to do to continue our discussions to advance Conservatism.
Because JR posted the link. Duh
Otherwise I wouldn’t have went to the trouble.
I always suspected that Howlin had something to do with you getting the boot.
Yeah, that thread was over the top hate filled ugliness. Her youngest daughter was attacked as being one that would end up as some sleazy stripper.
Remember, the youngest kid was the one the cameras picked up that night at the convention licking her hand and trying to fix the baby brothers hair. Someone said she acted like a handful that night. Oh really?
What did any of that have to do with any current campaign?
Your first line voided anything that followed...scrolling by.
Oh, okay, then.
Well, I’ll have to take your word for it. It was not presented to me as any kind of anti-FR or hate site.
Glad I didn’t go.
Look, some conservatives come here to rule the roost. Most conservatives come here to read freely expressed intelligent -- or as it might be, exceedingly stupid -- conservative opinions. Whichever, if you're a conservative -- any kind, as for me I'm a limited government Christian Constitutional conservative -- and have that opinion, you're free to express it.
That is why most people come here, lurk here, read here, write here, to express conservative opinion freely, and to peruse conservative opinion expressed freely.
When it ceases here, when the only conservative opinion you're allowed to express favors one candidate, then this place will cease to be attractive to most folks.
It's rough and tumble here -- caww is most emphatically one of the gentlest, mild-language souls here. He is pursuing truth. IF he's unable to find any unauthorized biographies of Trump that show any kind of depth one might expect in a book on such an pop celebrity (sorry, no better word for it), doesn't that raise an eyebrow?
Oh well.
OUch! Bad number!
You don’t have to take my word for it. Others around here clicked that link too.
Was that on Free Republic?
I’m surprised it wasn’t pulled.
I did not see anything like that.
Here are my Sarah Palin credentials. I loved her the moment she made the acceptance speech as McCain’s veep.
I was one of maybe seven people who watched every episode of her reality show and it was good. I enjoyed it.
I even watched Dancing with the Stars to cheer Bristol on because of Sarah and I never watch that stuff.
I thought Sarah did a good thing coming to Texas to support Ted Cruz. She saw a true conservative way before a lot of people did.
Ted Cruz could not have been nicer or more grateful. He said nothing negative even after she went to what I call the Dark Side.
So don’t accuse me of Sarah bashing. I haven’t and I won’t.
....”I see him as an opportunist in the worst possible way ...becoming Republican only when he was enthralled with his own political prospects.”........
Well that’s exactly right as I see it as well. He has nothing at all to lose for he’s accomplished already lifting his Brand.....as his daughter said....”The Trump Brand will now be in every household” ....(on New Years Eve).....even if he lost this he’ll glean much from the exposure....and has.
What else was he going to do with his life.....he’s handed the business over to his kids to operate....so this run is just an opportunity to put a notch in his belt and go out in glory.
I think he sees the Presidency like a CEO and he will run it that way if he wins....or try. and that will be a disaster.
Those people don’t belong here, regardless.
Amen. Beyond the pale.
Oh please you just said she went to the dark side. Nice insult. Good try.
It’s not a hate site. It’s only a hate site because they don’t like what it says. People call this place a hate site too. Doesn’t make it so.
Was there anything false in what was posted?
If not, then I believe it.
What is there to be afraid of?
If it’s false then refute/rebut with facts.
Not this boorish pettiness of demanding that someone with a different opinion than you leave.
You know what’s beyond the pale. Accussing Mark Levin of supporting Cruz because Cruz gets him sex with women. That was posted right here on FR.
I disagree with everything you have said, and likely, every thing you will ever say.
A few of them received ZOTs that evening. They were righteous ZOTs. Early in the day, some supposedly Cruz supporters were even making fun of Jim’s amputation. They are gone.
Are you sure they weren’t trolls out to make Cruz supporters look bad?
I am not accusing you of anything. That thread was pulled but I never saw you on it.
It was just a really mean thread. It is one thing to criticize someone for their politics, but to savage the kids who didn’t endorse anyone was crazy. I haven’t always agreed with Palin, but I could never be that mean.
That youngest daughter is 14 now. Someone posted a picture of her. She is a ringer for her mother.
I’ve not seen that, but yes...that would be beyond the pale.
Okay. I believe you ... anyway, I believe onyx.
That’s not how it was presented to me but I didn’t go anyway.
That’s all I can say.
