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.

When you repeatedly ignore the warnings you get banned. Period.

Sadly I heard that somewhere before!

I am a Christian. Most of my friends on FR are Christian...at least we all pray and know the power of those prayers. JimRob was good enough to put up a prayer thread for my brother. Thank you, Jim. I think your suggestion that Christians are the only people who are banned might be true, but not because they are Christian, but more likely because most people are Christian. The chances of being banned and Christian are probably more likely than someone being athiest and banned simply because, I think, there aren't a lot of athiest in our midst. At least, that has been my experience here.

I have a funny story to tell

When the Elian story was going on I read on FR that a group was meeting in downtown NYC to support him.

I worked a block or two away and did go over to volunteer to sing God Bless America etc.

Well little did I know that they were Atheist Freepers!

It was so surreal!

[MistyCA]

Well, all I have to say about that is, God Bless America and God Bless Free Republic! LOL! :)

Thanks

Just saw your post on this thread. I wanted to say that your post helped someone -- it worked for me. Couple of days ago I had a huge fight with my youngest brother, and I've continued to be absolutely livid about what he did. Now I've at least called and left a message on his phone to call me. Thanks for reminding me about "forgive & forget," it's so simple, yet we do "forget" to do it a lot of times. Say a little prayer for me about his response. ( -:

Your post brought a smile to my face. Thanks! I hope things go well for you two.
