Well, it's been 4 years since I first found Free Republic. I have always felt like I belonged here and have really enjoyed the banter back and forth between us members. I am afraid all this is now over. I am really suprised and shocked at it's suddenness. Before I leave I want to thank a freeper from Michigan who sent me a DVD player last year to give to my kids for Christmas. You reaffirmed my faith in humanity.
I know this thread will be deleted before many people get to read it, but I just can't go without saying a final word. Every since 911 the 'vibe' here at FR has been decidedly hostile. I guess it was a matter of time before the newbie moderator got around to weeding me out for my sometimes unpopular views. So I join the ranks of A+Bert and so many others who gave FR a interesting flavor. I will miss coming here 20 times a day and keeping up on things. But without posting priviledges there is just no point. I must go find another conservative group to try to be a part of.
In the future, when a freeper who has been a loyal member since August 1998 crosses the line, how about a note instead of banning? Would that have been too much? I may have gotten out of line, how is beyond me, but if such a tresspass would have been pointed out I would gladly have refrained from doing so again. It is just not right to just ban an account with no explaination. Especially when the freeper has been here 4 years. I have no idea what I am going to do with my days now that I no longer have FR. Well, I guess I have said my part. It is a sad day when one has to leave family and friends. I feel like some of you were just that. But apparently I am no longer wanted around here. I bid my good day to you all and hope that karma pays it's respects to those who do injustice.
Horsepuckey. If I say I am listening, it's cause I am.
There are very good reasons for NOT formally declaring war. Those Detainees would be immediate POWs that have full Geneva convention protections along with the requirement that they be released at the end of hostilities. Do you want them released? I want them to rot on GITMO.
Bollocks. In a War you can have War-crimes trials for the Order-Givers.
SOME of the Gitmo flacks I will admit that I do not particularly care about, any more than the Germans who fought Patton on the way into Bavaria. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I mainly want to see hangings for the Islamo-Nazis who actually gave the orders.
The term "affirmation of war" doesn't appear in the act. Again, watch him pretend it did.
Again,you are a LIAR! WHERE have I "defended America's sworn enemies"?
Shoot another fix.
Shoot another fix.
First you say that the US was in a state of war during the War on Tripolis even without an explicit declaration and now you are claiming that there actually is a distinction between the congressional declaration made by Congress so many years ago and this year. In other words, you've attempted to argue that the congressional declaration of this year is constitutional and puts us formally at war, but here you claim it really doesn't. LOL. Your illogic knows no bounds.
No. If he had of been,he wouldn't have gotten shot in the leg. They used water to literally "flush" them out of the dungeons,and he was wounded when he came out.
Remember the Brother Nehemiah Scudder character?
Give me a freaking break.
They do this for the convenience of the jailers,not to "punish" the prisoner. It's for suicide watch. They do the same thing in drunk tanks.
You don't deserve one. Sleep it off.
