VANITY: The "Truth" about JimRob and Free Republic according to BADJOE

LibertyPost.org | 10/10/03 | BADJOE (Slightly revised by JimRob)

[Jim Robinson]

Dear Free Republic Friends,

My old friend and brother-in-arms BADJOE has promised to warm the cockles of our hearts by publishing an expose (the truth about JimRob and Free Republic according to Joe) on the 18th of this month, which represents the one year anniversary of the date he last posted to FreeRepublic.com and started up with LibertyPost.org.

So, as I believe that only the truth can set you free, and based upon the stratergery of pre-emptive strike, I have a confession to make (before BADJOE makes it public):

I have poisoned the well.

By my sly innuendos behind the scenes.

By my intellectual ineptitude.

By not trusting those that brung me to the dance to bring me home.

By my biting every hand that fed me.

By my arrogance that causes me to think I did it all by myself.

By my stubborness not because of principle, but because of my lack of ability to see what is transpiring.

Evidenced by:

One would think that with half again as many Freepers. with a recovering economy, It would take a great deal less time to raise the necessary funds.

By this time in the June 2002 effort with a goal of $70,000 we had raised $73,000. Not because of who did the fundraising, but because the sense of purpose, of family, of comaraderie, was still present.

BADJOE rang the warning bell, but none heard.

Conclusion:

It is a sad day.

For what was once a great hope, a means of bringing together those who are willing to pay dearly in blood, sweat, and money to save this country, we all love, has been reduced to an asterisk.

So sayeth BADJOE as he promises to publish all this and much more on the 18th. He's been feverishly working on this "project" for one full year. In addition to the "truth about JimRob" BADJOE intends to further betray our trust placed in him by revealing the names of our moderators. And who knows what else?

I can hardly wait.

Is it the 18th yet? Tick, tock.

We have made fun of colors for years, but this is an original tact. What is a black and white forum?

This is a black and white forum, FreeRepublic. We do not look through rose colored glasses and see rainbows.

And we do not need prissy people who like colors to distract us from the message.

LOL

[deport]

I think all people who post in colors in a black and white forum are ego maniacs.

Q4 FReepathon. Target: $66,000

Receipts & Pledges to-date: $61,767

93%

If you haven't donated yet, but are thinking of doing so, today would be a great day to do it. There's currently less than $4.3k to go to reach our goal!! This could be wrapped up today!!

Amelia.... you gonna try you luck out in the ongoing session? LOL...

[Conservababe]

Put it in black and white and yall would probably get more action.

LOL

[deport]

bump for the *COLORS* ... they add *SPICE* to the forum......

[deport]

You reckon they could be enticed to take this argument over to this thread and bump it along for a while?

*VANITY*: Can Jeb Bush *PARDON* Rush Limbaugh?

[Conservababe]

Salt and pepper is just fine, thank you.

LOL

The blue posts that Gore made were not easy on my eyes.I like color used with big letters but give me the old regular black and white for posts. Color is fun for emphasis.

[stands2reason]

Yes.Just quickly scanning down, I saw That Toddhisatva, the logjam guy, and dely2 (I 'm guessing at these names) are now gone, and one fella on FC 's side is gone. Actually it shows (in that instance) more evo's than creationists banned.

Why can't atheists be social conservatives?

[js1138]

Good question. The nezxt question is why are people who disagree with someone else's interpretation of the Bible automatically atheists?

[PatrickHenry]

Why can't atheists be social conservatives?

Ayn Rand was both an atheist and also socially conservative. (Yes, I know she had an affair. Not the first time a social conservative has bent the rules.)

The blue posts that Gore made were not easy on my eyes.

I agree...

I generally don't read post that have lots of color, fonts, out of the margins so you have to scroll back and forth, etc...... I usually skip over them and go to the next one...

[MEG33]

Why are conservatives not called true conservatives if we support the war?True Christians,True conservatives.Bet the Communists talk about True communisim,Pure socialism!Sigh

Actually it shows (in that instance) more evo's than creationists banned.

Ah, well - so much for the thesis that only creationists/Christians/fundamentalists/whatever get banned...

[general_re]

We are conservatives, not angels, after all. Even Bill Buckley had a toke once upon a time.

[PatrickHenry]

Now that I think about it, Rand was pro-choice. At least up to a point. But she was anti-welfare, anti-gay rights, etc. I'd say she was conservative. Not 100%, but enough to blow away the notion that her atheism was a bar to being socially conservative.

[PatrickHenry]

I don't want to convert Jim's "BADJOE" thread into an Ayn Rand debate. It's been side-tracked enough. Ignore everything in my recent posts.
