Well, it's been 4 years since I first found Free Republic. I have always felt like I belonged here and have really enjoyed the banter back and forth between us members. I am afraid all this is now over. I am really suprised and shocked at it's suddenness. Before I leave I want to thank a freeper from Michigan who sent me a DVD player last year to give to my kids for Christmas. You reaffirmed my faith in humanity.
I know this thread will be deleted before many people get to read it, but I just can't go without saying a final word. Every since 911 the 'vibe' here at FR has been decidedly hostile. I guess it was a matter of time before the newbie moderator got around to weeding me out for my sometimes unpopular views. So I join the ranks of A+Bert and so many others who gave FR a interesting flavor. I will miss coming here 20 times a day and keeping up on things. But without posting priviledges there is just no point. I must go find another conservative group to try to be a part of.
In the future, when a freeper who has been a loyal member since August 1998 crosses the line, how about a note instead of banning? Would that have been too much? I may have gotten out of line, how is beyond me, but if such a tresspass would have been pointed out I would gladly have refrained from doing so again. It is just not right to just ban an account with no explaination. Especially when the freeper has been here 4 years. I have no idea what I am going to do with my days now that I no longer have FR. Well, I guess I have said my part. It is a sad day when one has to leave family and friends. I feel like some of you were just that. But apparently I am no longer wanted around here. I bid my good day to you all and hope that karma pays it's respects to those who do injustice.
(got it straight from the leftists in Dallas a few weeks ago, honest!)
Any American citizens flying those MIGs? This is an American citizen not a Russian or Iraqi and contrary to all of this hype, we are not at war. War is declared by Congress not the White House...unless you want to count the war on drugs and the war on gun violence. In that case anyone that fires up a joint or uses a gun in self defense is a "combatant" and as such has no constitutional rights.
Remember, I'm a Texan.
War was declared by the terrorists on 911.
Pretty hopeless, huh?
*Sigh*
No freedom, no pleasure, no happiness . . . just blinding pain and corrupting rust in the dark hell-hole dungeon known as the USA.
All those soldiers who died in war . . . only to leave you here thrashing about in endless torment and agony, a wretched slave--less than a worm even.
*Sigh* again
Are you trying to censor us?
Oh, if only we could have a leader like Osama who wouldn't violate our due process rights. (Weeping, wailing, gnashing teeth, dust, ashes...)

Osama didn't give us Homeland Security. He didn't make us register guns.
He was not here when that happened. He didn't say the BATF could raid a church and burn to death all those people.
Osama didn't shoot Vicki Weaver in the face or kill a little boy by shooting him in the back while he was running away.
Dang, MAF!
I love you. But I am more afraid of what our Government is doing to us!
No, he violated it and murdered thousands. Build him a statue.
Not again...
There's nothing in the Constitution that states that Congress must make a Formal Declaration of War.
The reason the Founding Fathers decided to make it necessary for Congress to give its assent to military action was so no POTUS could carry out personal grudges - The People, through their representatives, must give the nod.
And that's exactly what happened when the resolution was passed giving Bush the A-OK.
You Militia types claim you love the Constitution, when you don't know a darn thing about it.
LOL!
