Good-Bye Cruel Free Republic
6-16-02 | wasfree

Posted on 06/16/2002 5:32:24 AM PDT by magnum opus dejure

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.

Oh geez, and who helped train al Quada? Not the good decent Taliban, huh? Which despicable, murderous Saudi happened to be their Minister of Defence? Which regime provided aid and support for a terrorist organization that attacked US assets in Africa, Saudi Arabia and Yemen while in power?? Nope, the Taliban are as friendly to the US as Denmark.Yup....

Your post was one of the most ignorant I've seen on FR is ages.You must be proud.

Is Padilla an enemy combatant of the US?

How do we know if he is or isn't?

They say he is.

You hit on the source of my fears when you said "different administration"

Think Hillary.. Think algor.

That's what scares me.

I guess you could look at it like the Reichstag fire. It only burned for a day, but the damage lasted forever.

I am not afraid of Bin Laden and the dirty underwear gang, they are going to lose and pass away eventually.

Now, Hillary on the other hand defining "terrorists".. I admit it, that scares me.

Bin Laden is just the excuse people are using to try and demand we blindly follow Bubba-2 without question.

You're going "for the gold," aren't you? Man, what a totally worthless statement.

This website supports the President and the war 100%. If you guys can't live with that, then perhaps it's time for you to move along to a different forum more to your liking.

I don't support this or any other president 100%,and never will. I wouldn't even support ME 100% if I were the president. Nobody is perfect. I can't speak for the others,but if you want me to leave,say so.

"Jihad Johnny was the sworn enemy of the US."

No. He was a sworn enemy of the Northern Alliance. And of women who didn't wear burlaps, or whatever they called them And he was an enemy of shaven faces and all the other stuff the Taliban didn't like. The only quarrel we ever had with the Taliban was when they didn't give up UBL. If they had given him up, we could have cared less how statues of Buddha they blew up. You are letting your anger control you Think about this stuff. parsy the sensei master.

Do we really want to be "safe"??? I would rather be challenged.

When it comes to disruptive flooding, posting of virii and links to virii, intentional posting of material that invites litigation, and repeated malicious use of sleeper accounts that do nothing but take up bandwidth and resources, then yes I want to be "safe." And, although I'm probably being presumptuous to speak for Jim in this case, I believe he does too (after all, its his keister that is on the block if FR gets sued).

Well, after reading some of your recent posts, I doubt that you are going to last much longer here anyway.

Oh for crying out loud. Prisoners are kept in lighted cells all the time.

They want to leave the false impression that he's under floodlights.

How do we know if he is or isn't?

How do we know if a murderer is a murderer? By having a trial. Get it?

Yes, like Hitler, Stalin, Mao TseTung and the Japanese Empire, the AlKhaeda and the Islamists world wide will pass away, and hopefully lose. Let us hope that they don't also take 100 million of us with them.

Can you believe these dipwads? Defending that traitor Jihad Johnny and the street punk and double-murderer Padilla?

The J-Man and Punk Padilla are not living in cushy comfort, but they are not being tortured either. If we REALLY wanted to treat them rotten we'd just turn them loose with the general prison population at Pelican Point.

But they are being mistreated. How do we know? Because their unbiased and dispassionate defense attorneys tell us so. LOL!

These very peculiar people despise the United States. They aren't patriots by any measure.

If I thought he had actually taken up arms against the USA, I would be all for lining him up in front of a firing squad. parsy the not as liberal as you think.

So, you don't have a problem with the fact that after he knew about 9-11 and the "war" started, he stayed? It's fine by you?

I could not agree with you more, JR. We must support our President and our troops. President Bush, Cheney, Rice,and Rumsfield have proven to be quite competent, and quite loyal to our country. Can you imagine if it were Clinton or Gore in charge?

This is a time when the Country must pull together and show loyalty. To do otherwise is playing into the hands of the enemy. And yes, we are at war.
