So the pathetic author of this piece thinks if you are anti-war you are a true conservative and if you support the war you are facist/Nazi.

One of those people who thinks they are the only TRUE conservative.

And I notice he thinks he's going to get away with the lie that Iraq and AQ had nothing to do with each other. He has a little reading to do and has shown his ignorance with one sentence.

You forgot the Barf Alert and Lew Rockwell warnings.

"chickenhawk???"

OK... call us what you want. We've got the guns, and we don't mind hurting someone's "feelings" by using them when we have to. Never bothered us, never will.

And that, my friends, is a death threat.

Nah. That's just political porn. It's how they get their rocks off when they don't have any. Do you think this puss would be so bold with our "chickenhawks" if he couldn't hide inside the construct that frustrates those hawks so?

I say "men" like Wallace are a sufficient reason for a return to dueling.

This guy, and ALL "libertarians" I know, are absolutely clueless about what to do with mad Moslem murderers that want to nuke New York. Their hoary old policy of isolationism is indicative of a "bend over and take it" mentality that would put the very country on whose freedoms they rely at risk. I should know; I used to consider myself a "libertarian". Not anymore. Not after 911.

I enjoy Free Republic for the very reason that it IS filled with unapologetic venomous screeds against the enemies of America. I say, good show!

Did anyone else notice that FR was given 7 separate paragraphs?

We must REALLY twist his panties in a knot..LOL!

There's simply no accounting for tastes. Some people like Bob Wallace go out of their way to illustrate that they have none.

Thanks Bob Wallace for the enlightenment. This was neither entertaining nor factual, and frankly who cares what you like to read on the internet?

Now I know to simply avoid reading your blatherings altogether.

Delusions of adequacy.

And truth be told, Ben Shapiro's writing is clearer and more mature than this...whoever he is.

hehe ! I think you're on to something. He spent quite a bit of time criticizing FR alright.

Probably an active member/poster on LibertyPost.com, the trash receptacle for banned Freeper malcontents.

I took a few minutes to visit the other sites clustered around FR in the rankings. IMHO they have turned their backs on the profound dimension added by the ability to post comments after an article. It truely makes all the difference to the level of engagement and interest I derive from FR.

No site is perfect, and FR is no exception. I've had freeper friends banned, and I've never really figured out why, but then I only pay as much attention as my offline life allows. However, I suspect that a goodly cross-section of the banned "anti-freepers" are so outraged because JR did not let them hijack his site and bend it to their will. Good for him.

Mr. Wallace displays an arrogance and shallowness in his article that is typical of the semi-lazy imbued with expectation of acclaim: long on the gratuitous insults and inuendo, short on the nuts and bolts specifics and details that would truely indicate that he knows of what he speaks.

IF FR is the truely ugly, then here is wishing that everyone can enjoy mirrors cracking and junk yard dogs howling with fright as you pass. Sometimes the truth is ugly, but it sure beats whiny self-agrandizement.

That does it, I'm quitting FR. I've been shown the error of my ways. I no longer want to be associated with the worst of the worst fascists, neocons and chicken hawks. Adios.

Thank you, Quinn, I didn't see how lewrockwell
could legitimately be rated higher than FR...
and now I know they're NOT.

Thanks also, foryour other comment.
It was tongue in cheek and I thought
it was obvious.

We are left to assume you didn't want your fellow Mississippians to know about your thread since we have no ping.
Be it oversight or intentional this snub will be remembered.





Hahahahaha.
Being a Southern Belle,
I did not wish to cut-in
on your job, sir.
In addition, Mississipians likely
comprise the silly author's 20% who
do not suffer the pathology of Nazis
and Communists.
