Way too many vanity threads lately. And way too much trash being posted. Please try to stay on topic (politics). Also, please do a search on a significant word from the title of your article before posting. This will reduce the number of duplicates. And, along these same lines, please use the original titles on your article posts. Do NOT edit the titles. Do NOT use "My Title" titles. This will also help to reduce the number of duplicates.
And, whatever else you do, please DO NOT post from DEMOCRATS UNDERGROUND (or any other such trashy un-American socialist hangout). Free Republic was intended to be a socialist free zone. We've gone to a heck of a lot of trouble to make it that way. Why in the world would you think we would be interested in having their trash posted here?
And QUIT trashing each other. You know who you are. Knock it off! Way too many flamewars and feuds going on. And, while I'm thinking about it, QUIT trashing our conservative candidates. If you want to criticize someone's position on some policy, have at it. But do not trash or smear the man. That would include Browne, Buchanan, Bush, Keyes, et al, or whomever else may be your favorite trashee (examples listed in alphabetical sequence). The idea is to get more conservatives elected, not to trash the ones you don't like. If you want to trash someone, make it a Democrat. Thank you.
And QUIT dredging up old communist propaganda to smear our conservatives. Sheesh! Whatever else you may think about our guys, they did not hijack airliners full of people and crash them into buildings. No, my friends, not even the dreaded CIA. Anyone who would believe (or even suspect) that crap is no FReeper. I've been pulling this crap whenever I see it and several people have been banned for continuing to post it. I do not want it on Free Republic. Any current FR poster who believes this leftist propaganda, please logoff immediately, send me your resignation via email, and I will delete your account.
Thanks,
Jim
Commie propaganda should be labeled for easy detection.
Please, we must continue to rag on the Klintoons incessantly, until none holds public office or they disappear into obscurity.
That's really the ONLY thing that chaps my hide: Vanities (and inanities) that clutter up "Breaking" and push the "real" news out).
Oh, except I am sick and tired of the religion bashing. Any way we can make that a capital offense?
Oh, man, is THAT the truth. Earlier there was the thread, a "Vanity" that was not identified as such (and which was also posted in "Breaking"--although that might have been the fault of FR's software) screaming about "Big Government Bush."
When I jumped all over the guy for breaking at least one major rule, he smugly told me "tough, I'll post what I think needs to be seen."
The old one hardly finds anything!
Many of the articles on the Power crisis here in California are not obviously connected with California so when I can, space allowing, I add "(California)" to the title.
I don't know, why would we?
If it will help with bandwidth, please refer all sick goldfish questions to me.
I actually know about these things.
Today I had a thread pulled (not complaining about that, that's okay)...but had searched the title of the thread. It didn't show up on the search. Next thing the thread (with the EXACT same title) is brought up to the top of current topics.
I try not to post duplicates. In fact, as someone who lives half a world away the stuff I read in my dailies is not probably likely to be on FR (unless MANY Freepers surf Irish sites). But I still do a search beforehand.
It's really not fair to think that everyone posts indiscrimately out of vanity. I try my best.
I've learned a lot from FR. And as a journalist (albeit in a different country), I've found the logical thought process of many Conservative posters has not only consolidated views that I've held inherently, but have swayed me to buck the system over here a little.
Having that said too...I do like some of the vanities and fun threads. I enjoy the craic and banter. But I don't own this site, so must respect the decisions of those that do.
I'll second that. Your profile page
loads but didn't display for me, tho.
Will try another time.
