Over the past couple of days, I have been witness to events and behavior that has moved me to stand up and address it.
I have seen people here taking a disagreement with Jim Robinson, and using it as an excuse to be belligerent and downright disrespectful towards him. Then when he gets fed up and bans that member, they immediately go to another similar website and proceed to attack not just him, but also every facet of this site, including mods and members.
Well, now, I am fed up.
If you have a problem with what Jim says, fine. Nobody is expected to agree with everyone 100% of the time. But don't be a horse's tuchis about it, and don't go running someplace else just so you can call him a socialist or a Nazi because he is not in the mood for your foolishness and puts a permanent brake on it.
If you don't care about the way things are being run, that's fine too. Nobody is forcing you to be here. Just spare us the long and/or elaborate goodbyes, especially if you are doing it to annoy or irritate everyone else. In other words, don't go away mad, just go away.
But don't go to another site and call everyone here Bush-bots, socialists, or worse. It's completely uncalled for and unmitigated, and best kept in hush mode. Not everybody wants to hear it, even at that other site.
No kidding. You're such a quirky research kinda guy. :oP
Tee-hee
Can I play?
Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air.
Send in the clowns.
Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again with my usual flair,
Sure of my lines,
No one is there.
Don't you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer,
Losing my timing this late
In my career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, maybe next year.
Huh? Watchoo tawkin about, Sherri?
You think Tax increases are the answer?!!
And were it not for a Republican Congress, all of that would've have been put into new social programs.
Agree that Bush has been an abysmal failure on fiscal issues however.
So let me get this straight, if you post a "suck up" thread on FR, it is NOT relegated to Chat... because that is exactly where this one belongs.
I bet you took apples to the teacher also. In twelfth grade.
I've criticized Bush on here on several occaisions. I haven't gotten the ZOT(?). I guess that is what happens when one misbehaves on here. On the other hand I'd like to think my criticisms were reasoned and well said.
At least they weren't DU criticisms which look much like this: That %%@&^$ Bush he is a $!#@!%#. Id like to %@$# that guy the @$%$ up. Oh yeah like is often spelled 'leik' or 'liek' on there too.
I think the proper question is "why did he resurrect this one"? Got me though; good one on him. LOL.
LOL; you'll get it in a second.
So you don't like liars lying about Bush and not being able to get away with it. Toooo bad now go play in traffic.
There are no similar sites to Free Republic-only mini-member wannabes. Let those expelled X-Freepers, rant upon those sites, as loudly and as long as they please......the silence is deafening.
"If a tree falls in the wilderness and no one hears it-did it make a sound?"
LOL. It took you two years to notice it? I've got two more years of data to back up my statement that W and the rest of the "conservatives" of the Republican party are being free and loose with our money...how about you.
W and Northeastern Republicans like you remind me of a verse in the Bible. 2 Peter 3:15
Being a conservative is tough...kinda like being a Christian. Conservatives like W should be mindful of the outward message they convey when they support new "welfare" programs, new regulations, new emergency relief, new spending programs, new healthcare, new prescription drug plans, new publically funded monuments, new legislation that allows the limit of speech 60 days before an election, etc, etc.
Ok, I give up -- wanna give me a hint?
Wow, old thread.. things have changed a bit since then, I think.
OK, that's a dumb move, but it doesn't make him a liberal
ROFLMAO.. that's priceless!
