Kool-aid drinkers always defend the powers that be no matter what, without question. I will question EVERYTHING done by THIS GOVERNMENT.

And I know for a FACT that not everyone who claims to be a Freeper is really a Freeper. Trolls for the Obama Administration and the forces of tyranny infiltrate these sites as they do all others.

Let the reader beware...and exercise discernment.

[GOP Poet]

exactly!

Bottom line: very useful in disaster relief. Very responsible to their State governor. Not useful at all for oppressing their relatives and neighbors. Very high percentage are Republicans and conservatives.

I am as worried about the National Guard being used in perfidy, as I am that the Tea Partiers are going to violently riot, smash store windows and loot. Highly unlikely.

Great reply - you're a voice of reason on this issue, yefragetuwrabrumuy.

A large number of NG troops in many states are at annual training earlier this year, which is also known as summer camp.

There was a time when I would have said that too...with this administration, not so much.

They are probably getting ready for a backlash when the news of the permanent taxpayer bailout of union pensions and the government taleover of the 401k’s hits the major news.

I'd say that the odds are pretty good that you are the troll, trying to make Free Republic look like a conspiracy nut website.

[Welshman007]

PROVE it or shut up. That is a serious allegation, and one that I do not view lightly.

Freepers do not seek to malign and destroy other Freepers simply because of articles with which they may disagree. Such action is unconscionable, immoral, unethical, and unbecoming to conservatives. I have a long history and record of conservative activism. Thus, if you don’t know what you’re talking about you had best keep your mouth shut. Personal insults and false accusations will be dealt with appropriately.

So you can accuse other Freepers of being trolls for the Obama administration, yet anyone who questions you had better "keep [their] mouth shut" or they "will be dealt with appropriately." If you don't want to be accused of being one of Obama's Chicago stooges, please stop sounding like one. I apologize for making a personal attack, but I was trying to make the point in my previous post that when you cast aspersions on other Freepers simply because they disagree with you, you leave yourself open to the same charge.

[Welshman007]

It went beyond mere disagreement. It was a concerted effort to discredit through ridicule—a tactic straight out of the playbook of Saul Alinsky.

I don't appreciate it one little bit. Disagreement is one thing, but personal attacks, ridicule, and attempts to discredit are another.

I accept the apology from you, but I have run into this type of thing here before many times, and I have to question the motives of those who do it.
