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.
Define success. I wouldn't want Gates' pressure cooker lifestyle.
I suppose the box office crowd thinks Brad Pitt is good looking, but I don't see anything special about his appearance.
I must go now.
....and the ass I rode in on. - Laz
tpaine?
Roscoe, we all know by now that you have some sicko obsession with my ass. - Please. Try to regain some self control. - For the children.
Well,I AM better looking than at least one of those guys. As for being successful,I was successful in my chosen field,and that's enough to satisfy me.
Is that a masochistic tendency or are you simply just a glutton for punishment?
Tapeworms?
Really? What "due process" did the thousands of people who were murdered in the Twin Towers recieve?
<<<<<<<<<<<
It's obvious from your post that you don't have a clue of what Due Process means.
BTW what those terrorist did is called MURDER!
I can tell you this with no bravado. I will shoot on sight any person, group or organization that decides that "it is time". I don't care if they are a self styled "patriot" group, the Black Panthers, the KKK or foreign and domestic terrorists. They are all cut from the same cloth.

Exactly. Your heroes murdered Americans. NO due process.
This is just the sort of political absolutism that makes discourse nearly impossible. Shame on you.
Very true.
Yeah, sure.
That was Roscoe's point.
Now if really believe you have been brutally deprived of your due process rights and stripped of your freedoms in this great country, you are free to follow Johnny Jihad's example and go eat rancid goat cheese in caves in Afghanistan and wait for the vile US statists to drop bombs on you.
This, from a man posting in his undershorts...
(sigh)
