On the Troll Problem

Posted on 01/17/2010 4:22:23 PM PST by reasonisfaith

This is a response to the plan by Obama and his advisors like Cass Sunstein to “cognitively infiltrate” groups they wrongfully designate as targets. So the leftists think they’re gonna pull off an Alinsky-style revolution, for the purpose of overthrowing the United States Constitution?

There are many here who will support and defend the United States Constitution, and who will reject the tactics of Saul Alinsky, Cloward-Piven, and all of communism. There are many here who take communist icons at their word, considering them as enemies of the United States. These enemies can be defeated.

Sinister characters, with neither the courage nor the ability to make themselves known publicly, use Obama to steal our liberty. Like puppeteer wannabees, they direct their puppet and the leftist-controlled House and Senate to institute the slavery of socialism.

Their mental-slave labor comes from unions such as SEIU. Healthcare, climate legislation, immigration and exploitation of natural disasters like the earthquake in Haiti are just some of the fronts they use to overthrow liberty.

We’re on the right side. From tea parties to Sarah Palin, to the Brown/Coakley race in Massachusetts, we are gaining a stronghold. Climategate and ongoing cold weather, along with algore photos, have been a source of comic relief. This forum has unlimited potential to advance our front line as we fight to defend liberty.

But we still have trolls to deal with, trolls who think they can infiltrate Free Republic as they try to overthrow our free republic.

Now here’s the whole point of this thread. If anyone is disheartened by the reality of not knowing whom to trust on this website, there is a solution.

Trust the principles first, and the rest will fall into place. Most Freepers are trustworthy.

The fruit born by leftist trolls on this website--their comments--will in some instances seem a bit out of place. It will be presented buried and hidden from view, amongst conservative-sounding rhetoric. Eventually they violate one or more conservative principle. The most common tactic seems to be the attempt to plant a seed of doubt.

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" (Matthew 7:15-16)

Trust the principles first. Watch for any attempt to cultivate doubt.

One of their greatest weaknesses is their belief that intellect is defined as the ability to deceive. Another is their failure to understand the worthlessness of their ideology.

I think that the free market system might help is all. If Jim made FR a subscription site, I think that we would have very few “trolls” and a much better sounding board, and organizatuional site for the conservative movement.

Only subscribers could post, and pay for the privilege. Everyone else could view as much as yhey want. I would have no qualms about seeing Jim do just that, and still require subscribers to have a conservative orientation.

HOw much would it cost a year ?

$88k x 4 / 70,000= 5 bucks a year. I am good for it.

HA! They only exist because their hero is a fraud and afraid of being uncovered. As soon as he slides down that slippery slope he’s already put both feet on, they will drift away like pondscum in the wind.

Could this be why some of the SEIU members are backing Brown in Mass? Holding up signs for Brown, to make his support seem like it is more than it should be, just to get shot down on Tuesday?

Unfortunately, there are people here who have a knee-jerk response to anyone who doesn't agree with them. "Troll", "RINO", "Newbie" are favorite epithets towards anyone not in synch with a particular thread's "momentum."

DU type trolls are easy to spot, it’s the RINOs that are a little bit harder

This has been a tactic of the Romney camp for over a year...had some success early on actually, and probably saddled us with McCain.

EXCELLENT IDEA!!

I too agree that with a subscription-based model, it would eliminate the DU/Kos-trolls. + might once and for all end the quarterly freepathons.

You could also offer lifetime memberships, as well as different levels of membership. Gold, Silver, Bronze would allow members to have avatars + extra’s.
