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.
Do you use color fonts?
Styx -- Don't Let It End (Reprise)
I am the modren man
With this guitar in hand
I'll do my best and try
To keep rock and roll alive
...Keep it alive
...Keep it alive
...Keep it alive...
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
I'm gonna keep on rockin' all through the night
Shake it, shake it, baby, 'cause it feels so right
Motivate your body, gonna cure your soul
Keep on rockin' 'til I lose control
Don't let it end
I shake to soul music
Don't let it end
I gotta gotta have that music
Don't let it end
Chuck Berry
Don't let it end
The Platters
Don't let it end
Little Richard - ahoo!
Don't let it end

Just make it your tagline and people will understand.

Very true. The Bible Belt was in democratic hands until it began turning in the 80's. Farmers have had to make a hard choice between their subsidies and Christianity, the farther to the left and more socially liberal the democrats became. It is very hard for any Christian not to feel the hatred comming from the democrats. The democrats kicked the Christians out of their party with that hatred, thus the rise of the Christian right and the South turning Republican.
I don't. Just watch social liberal republicans voting patterns. You might as well put a democrat in office because they are the ones that always cave and vote with the democrats.
The social conservative has taken up the fight for all conservative issues with zeal once they moved over. Unlike the liberal Republican.
If people like you drive the social conservative out of the Republican party as the democrats did, where do you think they will go? It is much easier to walk away from a party due to principle once you have done it once already in the past(and studies have shown that they are the ones to sit out an election if not given somebody they can vote for). What will the effect be on the Republican party?
Unlike you I think that that caculation has been made. Put lip-service pro-life Republicans in office that will never do anything about changing the status quo and we keep the social Republican vote that puts us over the top and sends us $50 per campaign.
