‘Free Republic’ Now A Safe Space for Donald Trump Supporters [Jim's response at post 25]

On the right, we’ve grown to pride ourselves on our greater openness to debate and ideas, on having no need to toe a Politically Correct line or crawl into a “safe space” like pampered college kids who just can’t handle hearing from anyone who disagrees with them.

For myself, I am so personally dedicated to this ideal that I even perform the great personal sacrifice of reading the comments field beneath my articles.

Yet somehow I wasn’t surprised to see Donald Trump supporters, those swaggering tough guys, turn one of their favorite Internet forums into a safe space where they no longer need to encounter criticism or opposition. Earlier today, Free Republic proprietor Jim Robinson announced that the discussion board would no longer tolerate opposition to Trump’s candidacy.

In 1989 Bob Lazar claimed that flying saucers used an unknown atomic element (element 115) as fuel. - In 2013 the msm announced a new element (element 115) was recently discovered.

~Also as a side note, the TR3B is real. Saw one in Illinois back around 2008, or 2009.

Well put.

Thanks for all you do. This year has been particularly hard.

How can you support killing babies in the womb and call yourself a conservative?

[Celerity]

No, First off, there are groups and investigations / investigation teams out there dedicated to extraterrestrials and alien space craft. Existing or not, there are people who’s job it is to gather information, evidence, proof etc.

Hillary goes cuckoo for cocoa puffs on this sort of thing.

Bill sorta does too but Bill is a f*ckin clown and everyone knows it.

There are things (Artifacts, devices, evidence) that can’t be explained and have no earthly tie. These things exist. Can we conclude on them ? Maybe so, maybe not.

NASA is full of files on extraterrestrials. Do I know what they say ? Nope. But I know they do, they’ve said they do, and it’s not really a secret that they do. The contents are secret, but at this point the lid has been blown off of it.

Re: “90% of the Class of 1998 has been zotted.”

I can't confirm that number, either, but I'll speculate that a large number of the regular donors have stopped showing up.

We are five weeks into a quarterly fundraiser, and we are still 45% short of our goal.

First time that's happened in the middle of a presidential election.

No one gives two wet farts how long a troll has been the way they are; only that they stop being that way, either voluntarily or otherwise.

Only special little snowflakes genuinely believe that Length of Tenure = Inherent Value.

Don't be a special snowflake.





MY favorites are the one's that state:

"I was here long before my sign-on date..." ... LOL.

I actually WAS, but I was using a horrid machine (device) whose name always escapes me and my old screen name as well. I regret that I am not listed in the Class of '98. That's all. No biggie now.

I don’t mind criticism and opposition during a primary when we are trying to improve on our base principles, but this primary is over, Trump is the nominee so now it is past time to turn our focus over to helping Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton everyone should be onboard with that.

[ Just a bad feeling lately. ]

I have more to say but already asked for one of my comments to be deleted there. Suffice to say, I gotta bad feeling, too.

Hope I’m wrong.

“2ndDivVet, Kaslin, CWwife, ETL and the lovely Libylu just for starters. Post 20 articles a day bashing Trump. Day, after day the same talking points. Then when they got the well deserved smart ass responses they would always ask “but did your read the article”. Lol. I miss them. Tear. “

And they would never reply when someone answered the criticism or questions in their talking points and THEN complain that Trump supporters could never answer their questions

[BigEdLB]

Actually you insult dogs. I have two standard poodles, and they understand more than most humans. Talking to a Hillary supporter is like talking to a street preacher on skid row. Ranting about demonic possession constantly. Only the Hillary supporter rants about the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy"^TM. Both show forms of Schizophrenia.

Don’t try to pull me into this conversation. I’ve stated my stance and you’ll just have to live with the knowledge that I’m out here calling myself a conservative and being pro-choice. Deal with it.

We might see more of this garbage. It could be laying the groundwork for more Alinksyite conservative posers to come in here to continue and/or start trouble.

United we stand against the Clintons!

Poodles are incredibly intelligent.

Thanks for the reminder. It has been close to 16 years since the scumbags left the White House. Maybe some people don’t even know how bad it was.

Jim’s post was perfect for those of us who remember, but someone voting this year at 18 was only two years old when they trashed the White House and stole the furniture on their way out of town.

[Conservative Gato]

Awesome!!!

United we stand against the Clintons!

[Just mythoughts]

Yes.

Trump Derangement Symptom is the Zika Virus of the body politic. The only difference is the deformation of the brain occurs after birth instead of pre-birth. We Republicans have voted, we have spoken. It's Trump. I never wanted to vote for Mitt, or McCain, but I accepted it and did my duty to stop the Red Menace. I have maintained the reason we kept losing ground is our candidates participated in Political Correctness, which amounts to a two word title for the act of suicide. Trump must maintain the aggressive,plain talk, in-your-face rhetoric no matter what. It is the only way he can win. He has displayed a knack for labeling the opposition. I think "Crooked Hillary" is an excellent handle. Speaking of handles for Hillary, here's mine... :-)

[SaveFerris]

Gee, I want to hear more! FReepmail if you like.

FWIW, I’m sure there are flying machines that are not “public”.

Even a relative, who worked on control towers, told me that air controllers would tell him of Mach 5 aircraft that would pass overhead, way, way up with no identification.

Then someone said even Lockheed was testing Mach 5 aircraft as far back as 1983.

What show did it come from?

Thank you.
