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.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Please tell me where your tagline quote comes from...it's to damn late for me to try to remember....

[stands2reason]

but conservatives have to be social conservatives and cannot be atheists.

What makes you think atheists can't be social conservatives? Do you think the same of agnostics? What about deists?

[ladyinred]

[ladyinred]

Please tell me where your tagline quote comes from

Why MST3K, of course. Like you - I don't remember which movie.

They believe in personal morality and that is no morality at all.

So the only morality is Christian morality? That's strange. I would think morality would be inherently logical. I don't believe that one can be successful in life without morality. Any student of logic can find morality worthy. It doesn't take the Bible. But I would figure to most Christians (at least to Protestants--I'm ignorant of other sects), morality isn't as important as faith. Sole fide and all that. That's what makes Christianity different from every other religion---you won't be saved by good works alone, but only by accepting Jesus Christ as your savior.

There was a thread about BADJOE somewhere. What happened to it?

Awww, man, give us a break....this is a 3000-post thread. Imagine a game of Telephone with 3000 people...we are not computers. We are flesh and bone. Forgive us.

Thanks, I am working on hooking a set of speakers up to my brain so all can enjoy the music.

Hehehe, you can't get to me. I've got the bluegrass channel playing off the cable. Can't no infectious ditty penetrate a thick, protective cloud of bluegrass!

Telephone indeed, back through 3,069 to remotest antiquity.
