"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants."

--Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to William Smith, Paris, November 13, 1787

I am a libertarian, conservative enough for FR to (greatfully!) tollerate, and a member since '97.

I loved most of Clarity's posts (WFB's brother?), and have great respect for CAL. That said, sometimes the tree needs pruning.

I have great faith in Jim. This site was Jim's response to a liberal media virtually dominating the world; changing it's shape into a whining, taking, "equal outcome" place. He started this site on a shoestring.

This site literally changed the world. And it's owner is about the most humble, spiritually lifted guy I've ever known.

I would be honored to meet him, yet I'd be ashamed, for he is much more of a man than I'll ever be. How he puts up with me, I'll never know.

Although I've grown to know CAL and Clarity through electrons over the years, I have to say I've never seen Jim be wrong, when it comes to this site. It marches forward, with clarity and vision, him at the helm, but with the hand of God controlling the seas.

Sorry to see them go, but you know what you are doing. I'll be here, come hell or high water.

His post here is being used against FR right now at their site. Did you read what he said he said HE SAID the word fraud. He is just like joe spewing forth without reality!

[eddie willers]

Where every poster...
Wins every argument....
Every time!

LOL

Mr Robinson, Normally I would advocate considering the source and forgeting it. Filthy gossips are just that, filthy gossips and the people who listen to them are no better. They are equally useless with little minds and big mouths. On occasion the situation is simply too egregious to ignore and the intent so malicious, so unfounded that you cannot allow it to stand. Verbal fisticuffs is not the solution that only serves to validate their envy and wretched jealousy. No, suing them and any subsequent generations of miserable offsprings they may have produced or ever hope to produce is the solution. Please, don't waste another moment of your time trying to accomodate pathetic, ankle-biting, attention-seeking losers. Call your lawyer.

Hey, we're within strikin' distance of 300!

[Incorrigible]

Darn 17387! I thought I was an oldtimer until I started hovering over the screen names! I knew I shouldn't have lurked for a few months before joining!

#11,909 out of 80,000. Not bad.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

I am seeing names here that I have not seen in at least 4 years, names that bring back memories of the "old days".

Speaking of ltns, how are you? I hope all is well.

[TLBSHOW]

if your not sure what I mean, us is an anti-freeper snitch!

[Tall_Texan]

BUMP for future reading.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Define your idea of radical points of view. Most of us are Freepers because our opinions are demonized as radical, by the liberal, politically correct, ememies of the Republic sites.

I don't believe we are radical, just because we choose not to tiptoe around every opinion that may be offensive to some thin skinned entity or individuals who are entirely insensitive to everyone else. I do believe we need to accept without bitterness, the decisions of Jim Robinson and his chosen monitors, when our posts are deleted or we are temporarily banned from posting. I do wish that along with banishment, you weren't also rendered mute as well. Sometimes the banishedee feels the need to discuss the offending subject with someone in authority and defend their position. Doesn't have to be public, it can be by private e-mail. Truly loyal Freepers feel that we are family, and feel totally isolated and rejected, when banned with no way to talk it over with our kin-that's the pill that ferments bitterness.

I'm just a minor member of this great and wonderful Creation of Jim Robinson, that makes it possible for us to express our opinions, beliefs and values upon a screen observed by almost everyone we wish to make aware of them. Let's not make enemies of friends, until it becomes a case of: "With friends like these, we need no enemies."

Jim, just to let you know FR has the most friction free site out there. Easy to use, understandable and sticky. Very hard to get away, and adicting. Freepers are, for the most part, great! Thankyou.

...Looks like she was an accomplished con artist....

An alternative view is she got in over her head and events did not turnout like anticipated. All business seems easy till you get hold of the reins. Once the wagon starts to roll down a steep hill it is sometimes very difficult to keep it all in control.

Plain ol inexperience can cause lots of problems.

There are ten thousand indians for every chief grade person on FRee Republic.They like to dance around and whoop but will never chop and carrywood to the fire.

[L.N. Smithee]

Hearing Clinton's a Liar referred to as an AF almost brings tears to my eyes, especially knowing of the personal harassment she endured at the hands of Eschoir.

I would like to know her side of the story, but I really don't have any desire to walk into a virtual bar brawl.

[2Trievers]

Mr. Robinson.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for what you have accomplished with FR. Thank you for your dedication and Patriotism.

The AFers are a sad lot and it seems the LP founders are trying to contain their vitriol. Not EVERYone who posts at LP are hateful and that needs to be stated.

We have enough FReeples onboard here who are vengeful. Their posts of personal attacks are unfortunate and negates what you are trying to do. It makes me ashamed.

SP, you're correct ... this is just an internet site, albeit a darn great one, and that should be kept in perspective ... by EVERYone.

BEST to you JimRob and thanks. &;-)

You haven't commented yet on the rather odd return of our lost navigator.

So do we start up where we left off with the Pool-Poopey thread or do we move to when Dude Hellish shot the Moose in the arse...Sorry if I've missed a few names...just called to cut an onion.

[TLBSHOW]

lol you read the thread.......

[tpaine]

Check out #207. Navi was caught:

-- "drooling while his stool is pooling" --

Classic.

[Bob J]

I don't believe USconservative is an AFer of any kind. I've stood out on a street corner with him to FReep Clinton in Chicago and had a few beers with him, and he is okay.

"Anti-Freepers?" I wondered "what the heck are those?" Democrats? People with the numbers "66" (their IQ's) on their heads? Folks that pray in the direction away from from Fresno five times a day? What? What?

So, "Anti-Freepers" are those against FreeRepublic? Must be a lot of them because unconservative stupidity is all over this country.

I've read most of this thread and I'm not sure "Anti-Freeper" is the proper term to describe the people being discussed. Since we seem to be talking about someone that thinks that some con artist in South Carolina that has nothing to do with this site magically has something to do with this site.

This is more like someone that should be described as Anti-Common-Sense. While I can see such activity on another site that attempts to trash this one is something nobody would like, I don't see why anyone here is wasting their time about it.

But, I clearly understand why you have posted about this. Over a period of time it has become obvious that you are a person of truth and integrity. And like most of us, when your honesty is called into account you don't mutely sit back in silence. Frankly, I don't care about this particular non-issue and I'm sad that you have to address it.

BTW, I wouldn't run this site. You couldn't pay me enough. This thing must be a large black hole that sucks away from you a lot more than just time and money. When you add on having to deal with this kind of garbage? Forgetaboutit!

I salute you for your smarts, bravery and grit in being able to create, maintain and grow one of the most interesting sites on the Internet. When these types, people that are anonymous cowards, trash you or this site or attempt to, I just don't listen. Hard to hear ants anyway.

Thanks to you and everyone else that works to keep this site on-line! Anyone that doesn't like it can just go pound sand!
