WHY DO CONSERVATIVES EAT THEIR OWN?

Sounds to me like you want to control. Keep out different opinions.Sounds a lot like our government!
I have heard sedition on this site a lot lately.Is government in control of everything?I dont believe we as Americans have the slightest idea of how our government controls law abiding citizens.
The two biggest crooks in America today is our government and the news media.They have locked arms and are in full control with the ABA overseeing the whole mess.

Thanks..

When guys like tpaine, William Terrell, WmBach, abundy etc. start rationalizing the murder of a couple of Maryland cops..

I didn't catch Abundy on this.. I am a big fan of his and it would shock me to see him do what you suggest.

(PS: I liked Arator also.. He was a good guy who just couldn't help but disrupt.)

I have no idea WHY you, of all people, decided to add fuel, to his paltry arsenal; however, you did. It wasn't funny. Unlike Fred, and a few others, I did NOT get into flamining, on this thread, until rather late in the game ; even though I was baited and flamed. I haven't ever insulted you . I have never been in a flame war with you. Yet,, even now, you are attempting to be funny, but with an insult. I once thought that that wasn't your style.

Yes, go to bed ; you've managed to do enough damage already.

I have heard sedition on this site a lot lately

Is that a good thing?

[ArneFufkin]

An oldie but goodie As if you'd know, joining when you did. Which member of the "Island of the Damned" are you?

[LarryLied]

Hey you two!

Two? You won't find many personal comments toward anyone by me. You will find threads gunked up like this however.

[nopardons]

Far too many banned FREEPERS coming back; it would appear. Unless, this one is just a fraud, who thinks that was a " cute " remark.

[BluesDuke]

I haven't ever insulted you . I have never been in a flame war with you. Yet,, even now, you are attempting to be funny, but with an insult. I once thought that that wasn't your style.

It isn't my style. But I'm beginning to remember that it is only too easy to be misinterpreted in an attempt at humour. And, that such misinterpretation can once in awhile be translated into a snide shot. I was trying to be nice about things, but it appears that I also forgot that trying to be nice about things - or trying to get a laugh about things - is useless with some people. I never would have guessed you to be among those people and I hope to God I would be guessing wrong if I did...

[ArneFufkin]

Do a search on "Frank Zito" ... there was an ugly thread where abundy called me "AdolfFufkin" and sundry other names (douchebag was one of the sweeter) because I didn't think a really, really iffy 4th Amendment Search violation should let Mr. Zito walk from his action in ambush shotgunning two Maryland County Sheriff LEOs who were entering his trailer with a key his mother (owner) gave them. Look for yourself, it was a dismal day on FR.

[gunnedah]

Maybe yes,maybe no! Is our government corrupt or not?
Are they taking more and more of our rights daily?
Dont think for one moment those in control of our government do not manipulate the system to keep control and power in a selected fews hands.Plus they will rig the facts to suit their scenerio so they control public opinion.Our government today is more dangerous than at anytime in our short lived history.

[Jhoffa_]

Okay, I will look..

But remember, he is a libertarian lawyer with extremely touchy feelings about these things. He's very picky about issues like this.

Abundy, sinkspur (yes, even him) DennisW, Jwalsh07, Tancredo Fan and Doughty One are some of the guiding light's of this forum, imo.

[nopardons]

What you did, armed someone without as much style and whit, as you have. The friend of my enemy, is my enemy.

I am a VERY nice person. I just don't much care to be insulted / made the object of scorn and derision. Go read the thread. See for yourself ; since you have now placed me in an untenable position. No matter what I now say, to you, you have decided that I am some kind vile subhuman .

You are weasling and I would NEVER have suspected that kind of behavior from you !

[nopardons]

That it was ! That was a terrible thread.

[ArneFufkin]

Bon Apetit

I wouldn't win Mr. Congeniality awards on that thread either, but Abundy is supposed to be a former cop and prosecutor.

By the way, Zito was convicted and sentenced to death as predicted by some of us on that thread. Bundy wouldn't have brought the case.

[Texasforever]

Maybe yes,maybe no! Is our government corrupt or not?

Sedition is a crime, a very serious crime.

[nopardons]

You, quite obviously, don't know as much about American history, as you suppose.

[gunnedah]

So it is now a crime to protect yourself against criminals?

"Some kind of vile subhuman?" Those, my dear, are your words, not mine. I have made no such decision and think no such thing of you. And my misfire notwithstanding (I will apologise once more for it if need be), I am hardly responsible for some other being's misuse of my word or imagery or whatever. Any more than would you be responsible if someone had done like misuse with your word, imagery, or whatever.

I, too, am a very nice person. I am also a very human person, who is only too prone to making very human mistakes in spite of reasonably honourable intent, and obviously I have made one here. It would be neither the first nor the last time. If I were perfect I would be God, and I have enough trouble doing my own job without even thinking to trying to take on His. I should just as soon have done with this entire misunderstanding rather than have someone think something which simply wasn't intended to be so.

Look, you sound a whole lot like the mentality that left a dead cop in Ohio over a stupid traffic stop. If you want to man the barricades …. fine, just remember that a bunch of us out here that may just have a violent disagreement with you. It “isn’t time” yet and you had better remember that

[nopardons]

I too, would like this to be at an end. Since we are in complete agreement, on this matter, so be it. :-)

We have always been civil to one another. We have even managed to have a good time together, or so I assumed, discussing other topics ! If I have read something , other than your intent, into your last post, then I apologise. I am not GOD, either, and never have imagined that you, nor I was. Perfection, is quite out of our realm.
