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

And those who would offer vanity posts should also cease all financial support of FR as well, since their filthy money would be insulting as well.

I presume that the next 'fundraiser' is many, many weeks away... ;)

NO WAY is the article about co-eds packing heat "trash." It's about female college students rejecting the cult of passivity, exercising their constitutional rights, and taking responsibility for their own physical safety.

[SlickWillard]

right, Slick??

Right.

I thought we were going to have a FR Daily Humor/Bizzare News Thread going, to alleviate some of these "problems." One was just posted, and was yanked within minutes.

I don't get it....

No, actually it's about goats rejecting the cult of passivity, exercising their constitutional rights, and taking responsibility for their own physical safety.

[Don't worry, it's an inside joke.]

My apologies. "My bad". I misunderstood your intent.
I've seen what I consider "legitimate" articles pulled, and I thought that was your complaint as well. . .

[Geronimo]

I put up a link to that story last night, we have more fun on the night shift. I didn't think I could get away with posting it as a thread, and I can usually get away with some funny shit...

Post #140...

Happy to bump!

Some just can't believe you're speaking to them. : )

As a newbie who doesn't want to be banned, I have a couple of questions.

1. Is it OK to post alerts, perhaps under "activism," about Democratic [sic] Underground calls for subversion? For example, if the DUmmies are planning a protest rally, is appropriate to alert FREEPers to the fact so they can plan accordingly?

2. Is there anywhere on the site where one can post "know your enemy"-type posts (i.e., here's the latest agitprop from the Left) so people can provide ammo to counteract the enemy's spin?

I have no problem if the answer is "no" to either or both questions; I just want to be sure I don't lose the privilege--and I appreciate that it is a privilege!-- of FREEPing.

Thanks.

We would of missed this one if vanities were not allowed

After last night's State of the Union Address, Democrat strategists won't be sleeping any easier and please see post 17

Actually, it was my understanding that the goat was fairly passive to begin with, and "rather subdued" in the -- er-- end (no pub intended).

(Mt. Holyoke does have its share of goats.)

[mondonico]

actually, no "pun" intended.

[toupsie]

Why not charge a micropayment in order to post a vanity? With as many as I see on FR, you might be able fund FR forever!

Mt. Holyoke does have its share of goats.

My sister went to Mt Holyoke; earlier this morning, I emailed her a link to that article.
