Those who are coming in here to post a bunch of propaganda to smear Bush or otherwise harm the war effort are going to be deleted.
I guess you missed my posts where I said that I am 100% behind our President and the war. I don't care if it's Ron Paul, Larry McDonald, or the head of the John Birch Society himself. I do not want it on FR. And I do not want a bunch of 40 year old conspiracy crap. Not interested.

There you have it. Free Republic is not an objective reporter of the facts but a blatent supporter of the Bush administrations' war for oil, and by Jim Robinson's own admission.
In another post, Jim states...

by JIM ROBINSON in This thread
Lots of grumbling lately about deleted posts. Well, my friends, the simple truth is the game has changed. We are now at war.
____________________________________________________________
Of course, Jim Robinson has it wrong. We're not at war. Only Congress can state otherwise and there has been no formal declaration of war by anyone. Bush hasn't gone to Congress to ask for such a declaration because that would restore Congress to its role in the balance of powers doctrine on which the nation was founded. Bush has no intention of allowing Congress to second-guess him, and indeed Bush has flat out declared that he will not bother informing Congress of intelligence operations from this point forward as is required by law.
Yes, we have been attacked, but it's not really known by whom. Even the FBI admits the IDs on which they based their accusations were faked using the stolen identities of middle eastern Arabs, some of whom have since turned up alive. From this it should be obvious that we cannot really know who was on those planes, only who we are supposed to blame.
But Jim Robinson isn't interested in these facts. He's spiked threads pointing out that the FBI admitted the IDs used by the hijackers were phony. Jim Robinson has spiked threads about how some of the accused hijackers have turned up alive. Jim Robinson has spiked many of the threads dealing with the Israeli spy scandal and the fact that the US has classified evidence linking some of the arrested Israeli spies with the events of 9/11. Jim Robinson has spiked threads suggestng that Bush has exceeed his constitutional authority. Jim Robinson will tolerate no doubts about the righteousness of Bush's war for oil.
But more than that, Jim Robinson displays an arrogant assumption that the presence of a war justifies anything. He argues that we should get behind the government because (he claims) there is a war. But translate that to Germany of 1939. Was it the right thing for the German people to unquestioningly back Hitler because there was a war on? Or would the German people (and the world) have been better served taking a pause and a closer look at just what the government was doing? And if Germany should have examined their government's claims a lot closer, then how can we not do the same now?
Free Republic has shown its true colors. Jim is "not interested" in facts, only in selling Bush's wars. Free Republic isn't about news any more, only about propaganda.
It was just a glitch in the matrix. Nothing really happened, but you took the wrong colored pill, so now you'll never find out the truth.
Seems to me that I remember our founders engaging in a little spat due to our ships being attacked by a foreign power. HMMM I wonder why ole TJ and company did not wait for a declaration........
And now you know...the rest of the story.
DAMN TO HELL Bush-bashers, M.R., and all other disruptor-trolls!
Is that anti-American, antiSemite creep michael rivero up to his old tricks of propaganda again?
He *USED* to be a regular and favorite poster here - til he was banned ...
a survivor of CIA MK ULTRA and PHOENIX Project, trained and utilized by CIA as a deep cover operative and professional CIA asset, under mind control programming, which the perpetrators of this mind control believed was "guaranteed under National Security".
Since 1996, I have gone public by exposing what I learned about these illegal covert operations through my own involvement and subsequent research, having been victimized and exploited by the U.S. Government since childhood.

Come on, who are you trying to fool? "Blatant supporter." "War for oil" Your bias does not show through, huh? You hardly have a plateform from which to cry foul on objectivity.
Why are liberals always so confused, asigning their definitions of the world to everything and everyone else. Don't you get it, we don't think like you do.
FreeRepublic is a conservative forum - not a place for liberals to rant - or to tell us how bad George Bush is. You have forums for that, starting with most of the media.
LOL
...and likely the only time Michael Rivero and "educational" will show up in the same thread.
Another Bush war for oil??? ((yawn)) Guess those CIA/NWO Islamic hijackers played right into their hands..hehehe
Thousands of innocents murdered at work in the heart of our greatest city had nothing to do with it. What an idiotic boob.
Perhaps a better heaven is out there on the net somewhere. I sure haven't seen it. FreeRepublic is home. I am home.
Sorry dudes, you're barking up the wrong fire hydrant.
Of course it wasn't close, unless you consider the Crab Nebula close to the earth. That's about right.
