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.
More than he's entitled to from the looks of it.
Well, yeah.. But if it pisses Quannell "X" and his little band of black pajamma'd schmucks off it's worth it.
On Bush's Illegal Undeclared War: Congressman Ron Paul, 10-29-2001
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The Honorable Congressman is absolutely correct! He's the only man in congress with the integrety to be there.
Incidentally, I am NOT some anti-american Communist who traitorously disapproves of War against those who kill Americans.
I am in favor of War against those who kill Americans.
In fact, I agree with Ron Paul -- formal War is the ONLY Right and Constitutional way to do a Federal Military war-Operation. (anything short of War is grounds for Marque and Reprisal).
He was a minor at the time. American justice was sensitive to his rights. This is the thanks we get. CONTEMPT. Your softheaded stance is laughable to him. He would sneer and call you a mere woman.
Wow kids, did you see this? I got called Ace!
HeeHeee!
Against what country?
Ron Paul did vote to authorize the use of military force WITHOUT a declaration of war
That is true. The Republican Party is SUPPOSED to stand for individual freedoms. You ain't free when other people have the right to force THEIR morality on you using the force of law.
If the party becomes the right-wing-fundamentalist-Christian-Republicans-only-allowed, you can guarantee that more Clintons, Dasholes, and worse will maintain or regain power.
Please make up your mind which side of this arguement you are on. I DO thank you for making my point,though.
No, they don't matter to sneakypete. They're dead, and they didn't die at the hands of the federal government. Why should they matter?
They were mere grist for Osama bin Laden's "more successful" attack. Bill Maher tought the terrorists demonstrated bravery, a quality to be applauded; apparently sneakypete agrees.
When Osama and his ghouls set off a 10 kilton bomb in San Francisco, sneakypete will yawn . . . . until Ashcroft catches one of the conspirators and threatens to put him on trial. Then--WHOA BABY!--sneakypete will be on the job 24/7 like stupid on a liberal, criticizing and castigating Ashcroft for all manner of imagined denials of due process.
Quote of the day!
In a specific context, yes.
It was NOT a blank check, so let's not pretend it was.
The nice thing about Ron Paul is, alone among Congressmen, he NEVER signs a blank check.
Ever.
I do. As do most of the real Americans out there.
I just like mocking him for the fun of it!
Regards.. Jhoffa_"X"
(ohh! ohh! I am a toughie.. I got an "X" behind my name! see! see!)
Someone who saw you be a sactimonious suckup.
And you would be who?
"President Bush now has the challenge to do something equally courageous and wise. This is necessary if we expect to avert a catastrophic World War III. When the President asks for patience as he and his advisors deliberate, seeking a course of action, all Americans should surely heed his request. Mr. Speaker, I support President Bush and voted for the authority and the money to carry out his responsibility to defend this country ..." --Ron Paul
