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.
I...oh, I thought you were going to suggest we do something out of the ordinary. My mistake.
:^)
I remember a radio program here locally introduced a religious topic. You should have heard all the fundamentalists callers come out of the woodwork to bash Jews and Catholics.
Makes one wonder what the preachers are preaching when these people think that no Jew or Catholic is going to heaven...but they are going to be welcomed despite their attitude.
Me, I say, let us all worship in our way, and God will cull us out in his wisdom.
Good question. I guess they can, actually. They can be anti-abortion and pro family values, can't they?
And the Florida Fish are going DOWN tonight too ;)
Hmmm. The pro-science crowd forgot to raise a stink and start hijacking Jim Rob's threads? Clearly, we're not holding up our end of the religious wars.
There are a lot of us who believe this. As I understand it, the majority of scientists believe this.
Well, I am a fallen away Catholic, but I still believe in purgatory. I'm willing to do my time there if the rest of these nutcases are with me.
LOL
Yup!
I am laughing so hard.
You do from me :-)
Indeed I am, all conservatives are social conservatives. Republicans, as I indicated can be atheists or whatever, but conservatives have to be social conservatives and cannot be atheists. This is not a conservative forum. It may be a Repbublican forum, but not a conservative one.
Totally false. The fight going on in America is between religion and atheism, not between different religions and what is being fought about is the complete cowing of religious expression. That is against the Constitution.
Read Edmund Burke, "REflections on the Revolution in France". No economics there.
