Free Republic

since I joined up, and I'm hoping there will be another 10 great years in the future. :)

Farewell to the GOP, for now at least! January 21, 2006 To: RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman Subject: The return of my 2006 RNC Membership Card It is with deep regret that I find myself writing this letter to you. I did in fact receive my 2006 RNC Membership Card. I will not be renewing my membership and I am returning the card to you. If you care about the why, then please read this entire letter. When I pulled the lever for our current President in the elections of 2000 and 2004, this is what I thought I was voting...

The tone on FR is very demoralized. Liberals and their media unfortunately have succeeded in demoralizing a large number of freepers. From their constant savage attacks on the President and the Republican Party with lies and distortions, to their biased polls, to blaming the President for everything under the sun, many freepers are feeling very demoralized. They are further demoralized because President Bush is not fighting back, because the RINOS in Congress are screwing thing up for the President agenda. Add to that a huge numbers of trolls who infiltrated FR in 2004 and 2005 to divide and demoralize by...

I apologize. I didn't realize what I was doing was so out of line that the post would be yanked. I'll log out now and go back to lurking.

My Opus to WarmNFuzzy.com I have had it with this site, warmNFuzzy stands for NOTHING if it is going to allow ANYONE to reply to me in an unWarmNFuzzy fashion. What the hell is gong on here? Why aren’t the moderators pulling posts that disagree with my articulate, well thought out perfect in every fuzzy way posts. Someone needs to wake the owner of this site up, before an open free wheeling debate happens! But I won’t see it, because I am a real WarmNFuzzy person not a Fuzzy In Name Only and I am leaving, you so called Fuzzies,...

And going to bed. I'm tired. I might be back sometime tomorrow or the next day.

Some long-time valuable posters have announced their opus to leave FR today. Well I don't. This is my family, this is my home. I may have serious disagreements with other posters and may occasionally be discouraged at the direction FR is heading. But I am not a quitter. I am staying right here, right where the center of the action is, and I will never quit. So what if others post offensive comments or views? It's a free country. Anyhow, I'm not leaving, and there is no opus. I'm ready to take on the 21st century and drag it kicking...

I'm leaving the Free Republic!

I'm sick and tired of all the whining and flailing about! I just can't take it anymore! You wanted it, fine - here's MY opus:

I am sick up to here with all these opera (plural of opus) from people who are quitting FreeRepublic. So, I'm stating it up front. I have quit quitting. I've quit quitting marriage. I've quit quitting civic organizations. And I've quit quitting on-line discussion groups. So, you're always gonna have Congressman Billybob to kick around. You'll know that I am officially "OUTTA HERE" when Felicity Fahrquar comes online to invite you all to an old-fashioned, cyber Irish wake. Don't try to change my mind. I won't take yes for an answer. That's my final answer. I've had it. (And by...

I AM LEAVING THIS DEN OF INIQUITY! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU PEOPLE! YOU CALL YOURSELVES COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVES AND THEN GO AND ELECT THE HALLIBURTON PRESIDENT! WORST OF ALL: THERE WAS NONE! THIS PLACE DOESN'T STAND FOR FREE SPEECH AT ALL! I'VE SEEN EXTREME BEFORE, BUT NEVER HAVE I SEEN THE BIGGEST COLLECTION OF LOSERS IN ALL MY LIFE THAN IN THIS ONE PLACE. SO GO ROT LOSERS! YOU DESERVE YOURSELF. YOU AND YOUR WE WENT INTO IRAQ AND FOUND NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION PRESIDENT! I HOPE YOU CAN LIVE WITH THE CHOICE YOU MADE. THE REST OF US...

First of all, this is NOT an April Fools joke! I want to monopolize your time by selfishly posting a vanity about MY intent to STAY at my favorite site, FR! :D I've been flamed plenty of times for things I've posted (and am anticipating flames for this post). I've seen people make statements I do not agree with. Does this mean that I should post a vanity on why I am leaving? NO! In fact, a lot is to be learned by disagreement. I have refined and strengthened my arguments over the time I've spent here. The founding FATHERS...

Well folks, this is it. I've been called a baby-murderer because I've posted that Laser Guided Bombs work better when dropped from above 15,000 feet. I've been accused of not caring about 'grunts' for advocating air power, in spite of having a daughter & son-in-law in the Marines and a son in Iraq with the Army. I've been accused (and this HURT!) of being an Army officer because I've advocated increasing the size of the Army. I've been accused of being a clintoon-pansy because I don't like how Rumsfeld works acquisition and disagree with him on the size of the...
