Vendome, I love our military and stated that in posts 70, 92, 106, 156, 134, 183, 198, 212m 236, and 244 on the thread at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2642492/posts?q=1&;page=201 and gave an official apology in post 236. I profusely explained what I had meant, and all but the trolls were able to recognize that I was so angered because I love the HONOR of honorable men taking oaths to uphold the Constitution.
A dozen posts explaining what I meant and an official apology isn’t enough for some people. Four years later they’ll STILL claim I never apologized, in order to sidetrack from the issue at hand - which in this case was that Free Republic has a pack of “concerned” posters who gang up to stink up threads where somebody besides the MSM gate-keepers-of-all-truth presents evidence.
It happens in a lot of threads. For instance, I’ve been told that my evidence regarding Loretta Fuddy’s death is not welcome here because it’s just too “crazy” to think that people in this regime would conspire to hide the truth. Doesn’t matter what’s on video, doesn’t matter what contradictions show up in the stories and the official reports. None of the evidence DARE be spoken here because it’s just too “crazy” to think that the regime lies, murders, and conspires.
Conservatives would NEVER think such crazy things about our beloved current regime. They would NEVER listen to evidence from somebody besides the MSM. It would be way too EMBARRASSING to conservatives to have anybody claiming to be conservative who would be so “batsh!t crazy”. Or so says the stink raised by a certain group of close-knit posters - wanting to be the gatekeepers of what conservatives can think and what evidence they can be allowed to see.
My comment here was to the poster of this thread, letting him know that the technique used here to silence people is to first stink up a thread with a bunch of “concern” over how “embarrassing” original thought is here, and then if people won’t be silenced or deterred by the stink in the thread, then the tattlers come in and get the big guns to gag or ban whoever they want to silence. So even though there are people who appreciate the posts and agree with it, very few will come out and say that for fear of being gagged.
I wanted the poster to understand that this is the case, so he won’t do what this group wants: think he is alone, and crazy, and that nobody understands what he’s posting. It’s a psy-op, to drive off to the side one little sheep, isolate it, and devour it while the rest of the flock watches, silent - afraid of the same thing happening to them.
If evidence is not welcome here, and if people have to be afraid of being gagged/banned if they speak their real thoughts, this place is not the Free Republic I have known and loved.
In the past 5 months I have seen ugliness that most people would not believe. Most of it from people who claim to be “friends”. He/she can act a part most of the time - as the fogbow folks constantly brag about doing here on FR, for instance - but when he perceives that the sheep may be vulnerable, the wolf just can’t help but bare the fangs and attempt to pick off that sheep and devour it. Wolves run in packs, here as everywhere else, using the same techniques as the wolves in sheep’s clothing who are trying to destroy this country. And if we think it can’t happen here at FR - or in this country - then it is GUARANTEED to happen here. That’s what the Founding Fathers knew.
Sometimes, though, the wolves don’t cover their tracks as well as they thought... They leave evidence. That’s when the people with evidence have to be silenced, if the “game” of Fool-the-Idiots is to continue...
It happens on the Ukraine topics too, but it’s more recent, so not as developed.
Apologize to Jim Robinson.
Nobody doubts those things, butters.
What isn't realistic is that some nut with a lame blog will unravel them.
Especially one with a history of seeing Ninja assassin frogmen, duplicate airplanes, photoshopped dummies in caskets and Government agents wrecking her word processing program that got frustrated at having graphics shoved into it.
THAT is the stuff that is crazy.
Welcome back. I’ve missed you, truly.
As a veteran I never took umbrage. Never.
