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.
Call it as you see it -- no skin off my back. I think that this Constitutional stuff matters. Nice, clean, black lines.
I admitted that no formal declaration was issued (though an Affirmation of War clearly was). I granted that point.
Sheesh... If you want more than that, prove it!! I already granted the evidence which you proved!!
No quotes from the acts, naturally.
Big time!
No he wasn't. He was lying. I never said OR wrote the words he used. That was a "quote" he made up out of his diseased mind in order to spread his lie.
As it happens, I'm heading to Oklahoma in 3 days. Visiting my uncle in Austin is not currently in my plans, but who knows. My current plans are I-12 to Houston and then I-45/35 on up to OKC.
IF your local watering hole serves Warsteiner, I'll get the first round. So if that goes by your place, feel free to shoot me a FReepmail.

Who would you get to explain it to you?
Humor me.
