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.
Spin doctor time?
"The threat to liberty and freedom comes from Washington not Afghanistan. It's not Osama that denies an American citizen due process in this country."
Patriots for Osama?
You were probably too busy swooning over politicians to notice it.
Please cite for me the post in which he states his heros are terrorists. Since you have accused him of having terrorist heros, this will not be difficult for you to accomodate.
Wahooo. ... HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!
It's a sledgehammer statement. But then, he's contending with stone-thick skulls.
Discourse is often nearly impossible because the many smug, self-satisfied, pouty-lipped "patriots" who post here, whose biggest hardship is having to decide whether to eat Froot Loops or Wheaties for breakfast, whine on and on about tough it is to live in the lap of luxury in the most powerful and free nation on the face of the earth.
They are Wilberforce Throckmorton IV-style boobs, complaining that vile statists have sneaked into the mansion and substituted inferior caviar in their din-din and flat pillows in their beds, and just RUINED their lives!
Whiny, snivelling boobs--every one of them.
Put your pantaloons back on, Wilberforce.
Don't try to pull that transference BS on me.
My heroes are Washington, Madison, Jefferson et al.
Unlike some folks around here my heroes didn't goose-step in black leather boots
Either I was having a really bad time at the Ball, or somebody else was impersonating Fred. I thought he looked great!
Again?
"The threat to liberty and freedom comes from Washington not Afghanistan. It's not Osama that denies an American citizen due process in this country."
But no swooning. Ladies who grew up when we did do not know HOW to swoon! Case closed!
It's inaccurate and it is political absolutism. If you criticize Bush, you are a traitor. If you question the procedure in holding allegedly hostile Americans, you idolize terrorists. It is as foolish when our side does it, as when Democrats accuse us of hating old people or starving children. And it is just as unacceptable.
Nah, it didn't.
No, they wore rags and lived in caves. But not for long.
And if I ever DO want to swoon, I will, without feeling like I need to hide it.
Like I said before, what IS the difference between US supporting Bush and THEM bashing Bush. Unless, of course, it's that THEY don't want to be contradicted.
