Why Is Free Republic Allowing Liberal Trolls To Stay?
May 12 2009 | jveritas

Posted on 05/12/2009 12:07:37 PM PDT by jveritas

There are some really annoying liberal trolls on Free Republic who have survived for months and years without being banned. Why is Free Republic allowing them to stay? We have enough liberalism and left wing lunacy on 90% of the media and we do not need this crap on this forum.

It is not difficult to spot these trolls. A quick review of their posting history will prove without any shadow of doubt that they are liberal trolls. Some of them try to mask it but they cannot fool the vast majority of us.

There are plenty of left wing forums which will welcome them that if they are not already registered and active members there.

It is time to get rid of them.

Hit the abuse bottom on them and hit it often.

I understand what you are trying to do troll. If you want to pretend Christ was about those things, go ahead. People like you have been around for a long time. The self-professed Christians Mahatma Ghandi was refering to when he said "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." Unfortunately Ghandi was subjected to people who view Christianity the way you do, not those truly seeking to be Christ-like in action and attitudes.

What Gandhi liked was a christ which he invented for himself, which had nothing to do with the Biblical Christ.

So, uh, exactly what is it that you think is "unChristlike" about biblical morals and standards?

I definitely agree with that. Being of a more Conservative-libertarian mindset myself I find myself disagreeing with other FReepers from time to time on certain issues...

Also, there is much to be said for explaining your position when disagreeing. Many times there is much to be gained by responses when people are open and honest about their disagreements, and are respectful when doing so as well...

Also, if a true liberal troll actually attempts to debate it usually becomes clear that their point of view doesn’t come form someone with Conservative values, or beliefs. Their liberal mind-set usually seeps out - usually without them realizing it. As I said I’m a Conservative-libertarian. I’ve often disagreed with my fellow FReepers, but it’s rare that I’ve been outright called a liberal! LOL Usually even when I disagree within my arguments you can see that I’m not looking at things AS a liberal does...

Anyway, mostly I’d say that we agree. And, incidently it’s why I’m glad I’m not a Mod. Figuring out who really is a Conservative with an honest to goodness alternate point of view, vs. a liberal with an agenda pretending to be a Conservative probably gets tiresome.

The attitudes and behaviors associated with Christ are love, humility, compassion, patience, kindness, selflessness, being a good servant-leader.

If I am not mistaken, he was also considered:
Wonderful, Counselor, The Might God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace!

I don’t have it handy, but I could sure look it up with a bit of effort I think. There was an announcement or press release or something from the White House that they were engaging in discourse on various websites (like FR), to help encourage support for their Amnesty effort — this was 1 1/2 to 2 years ago IIRC.

I’ll ping a couple extra people on this — maybe they might remember better than I exactly what it is I’m remembering...

AuntB, of F15Eagle - do you remember when the White House said they were having “operatives” (Not in those words) speaking on websites in support of the Shamnesty plan while Bush was in office. I sure remember a LOT of “Talking Point Trolls” during the whole Shamnesty debacle itself... Or, alternately, do you know others who might remember this, and help me out a bit with extra info. when I go to google/search this in a bit? [Wasn’t there even an ‘official’ spokesperson on FR during a time period as well (perhaps on another issue). (And, I don’t mean Tony Snow (may he RIP), who was a FReeper before getting the White House Press Job.)]

Pan_Yan - I will spend a little time in a bit trying to find a link or something to source my info. I know it’s important to “Trust but Verify”. ;)

It's bookmark (:
What prompted you to post this thread? (if you don't mind me asking)
BTW, I was repeatedly called a rino today by one of the people you mentioned.

In my humble opinion I want to say that it would be boring without all kinds of ppl on here. What makes it fun is when we catch em and prove them wrong.

Contrary to liberal belief most of us are well read, rather intelligent and very up to date on the latest issues.

While we all usually stick to our guns, last time I looked we were granted the right to free speech, so let the games begin...

The libs come here at their own peril...

God Bless America and FreeRepublic.

Christ’s standards were even higher than ours.

Hatred = murder

Lust = adultery

Thoughts = actions

So it wasn’t enough to keep your actions pure, you must keep your thoughts pure as well.

OK thanks. I posted this thread because there are few liberal trolls on FR who are causing some disturbance. With time it will become clear to everyone that they are trolls.

FWIW, please swallow your pride and consider being a follower known by love. The overly legalistic do more harm to the kingdom than they know. Consider your actions and if they are not bringing glory to the Kingdom of Christ why you are doing them. I have a legitimate reason for why I engage wagglebee. If you ask yourself why you are nettling me and what you are trying to accomplish, I think you will find the answer to be something that doesn’t reflect well on you.

You never got rid of your ‘liberal’ mindset. Bug off. But before you do - you proved my point nicely so I didn’t complete waste my time.

Interesting that in the middle of a religious discussion someone will call the other a troll.

You are lucky! Some noobie Freepmailed me today accusing me of having an improper sexual relationship with a freeper he didn’t like. Then he said he was going to send these communications to the mods for my chastisement. LOL!

Thus, even though RINOs have some issues on which they are "democrat-like", they still consider themselves "republicans". I have no disagreement with this being a conservative site. I just hope that some people can be more open-minded.

You seem to be more than a little confused about what a Republican is and is not these days and what a conservative is.

Republicans are not by default conservatives.

Any Republican that is that democrat-like IS a RINO, liberal, whatever, but certainly not a conservative.
