Jim;
Things have gotten way out of control here as of late. You know as well as most of us, that this war must end and end now, or your forum will end up being nothing more than a joke.
I humbly suggest that you not just request, but demand, that everyone step back and take a serious look at the slanderous comments being made by both camps. Debate is one thing, but what is happening is no longer a debate. This forum is on the verge of a civil war. A war that need not happen. For the good of this great forum, I and many I have talked to on both sides of the war admit things have gone too far.
I am a Ted Cruz supporter, yet I call on all my fellow Cruz supporters to put the knives back in the sheaths, as I ask the same of all you Trump supporters.
This civil war of Freeper against Freeper must end, or the result will inevitably be a complete destruction of this once great forum.
I begin by laying down my weapons as a gesture of good will. From hence forth I will not post any comments that are just knee jerk angry remarks that only serve to fuel the fires of hate and animosity.
We all have a common enemy in this fight, the eventual Democrat Presidential Nominee. I suggest we all remember this, because a house divided upon itself cannot stand, nor defeat the enemy.
I also offer this promise to everyone. Should Trump win the nomination, I promise to fight as hard, and as passionate, for him to become POTUS as I will for Cruz.
Just asking, from a humble unworthy newbie perspective, to have clue when I may become a “real” FReeper.
;-)
“I see allegations against Cruz being part of the system, being cozy with the opposition but at the same time, we see he is despised by the same Senate/establishment he is supposedly working in cahoots with.”
No flame here, Hulka, just my honest opinion.
As time has gone by, and I’ve gotten to know Ted Cruz better, I’ve become less and less convinced that he’s the ‘consistent conservative’ I once thought he was.
Given what he’s actually done during his short time in the Senate, how he’s conducted himself throughout this race, and the company he’s now allied with, I can’t judge him to be anything but an establishment GOP insider.
I’ve lost all faith that he’d do what’s necessary to correct the nation’s disastrous course, If he were elected president.
In good conscience, I simply can’t support him. As to whether I’d vote for him if he’s the nominee, I don’t know what I’ll do, but I’m definitely voting against the Dem.
Michael Moore = Jaba the Hut
Sara Palin = Princess Leia
Glen Beck = Lando Calrisian
? = Darth Vader
This is the funniest, you are RIGHT!
If you have been here one day shorter than me, you are a noob.
In your particular case, you are an honored elder statesman worthy of respect and admiration, because you have been here a year and change longer..
This is fun to watch. The establishment republic rats hate them both. They are slithering like snakes to steal the eggs of the Eagle. I am hearing that THOUSANDS of trumpeters are going to Cleveland to RAISE LIVING HELL. Among them are armies of motorcycle guys ( THEY HATE REPUBLIC RATS!!) This is going to make “Only Black lives matter” look like a church service. I think all races are pissed. Blacks are breaking out of the spider web of the communist left. Hispanics that are not criminals or illegal entry aliens are pissed! I think what Trump told Rinse Penis is “look boy, You jack asses are not whipping me easy. You better check your back because this is WAR” Donald Trump is the greatest American since George Washington.
I get the impression that if your create an ABOUT page you might get a little more respect. Checked yours and you have written nothing there.
You become a real Freeper, when certain old timers give deference to you. Regardless if they agree with your point or not.
There are some Freepers I look up to with such respect that I would never even think of commenting in a way that would disparage them.
Too much respect to even make them feel bad, even if we disagree.
When you see that happening, then you crossed the threshold.
Me? naw, I haven’t made it yet, because time is not what makes one a real Freeper, respect from others does.
I have trashed too many, stepped on too many toes, and participated in almost no mass Freeper functions.
Oh I have done things that I have posted pictures from, but I’m limited in my ability to really get involved. Those who do, they are the true Freepers.
Do those things, and the respect and recognition comes, and then one day you will know you are a true Freeper.
I have met some who have had but 6 months in, and they were true Freepers.
That helps, because it shows you are willing to share a part of yourself and your mind.
I have changed mine time and time again.
Currently I’m between ideas, because my local hometown newspaper dropped me from their blog list and so I don’t blog for them anymore. I took things down I used to have up.
Maybe this Summer I will rebuild it.
Exactly what the OP was referring to. Throwing mud with no analysis or substantiation.
You should be banned from posting for 3 months.
Why should he be banned? The statement was accurate.
Thanks. Well stated.
Makes sense.
I like living under-cover. . . .
Love this post. Thank you.
And Heisenberg replies, "No, but I know exactly where I am."
Jim, what if it really is not Trump or Cruz, but, in your words, “whomever”?
Well, I will be doing all I can to keep Hillary or any other communist democrat out of the White House regardless. I don’t want to see America going down the tubes on my watch!
My exact sentiments.
Which is BY NO MEANS conservative.
