I asked Jim Robinson today to delete my account on Free Republic. He asked me to post an opus so some folks would not think that I was banned for no reason. Here is my brief opus:
Thank you Free Republic and Good Bye. This was an excellent forum for many years but now I do not think it is so in my humble opinion. The trend where the forum is going is very clear to me and I do not want to be part of it.
For all the Freepers with whom I have had good relationship and great discussions I want to thank you for all the good time we had together on this forum.
God Bless America and Our Brave Troops.
PS: Now Jim Robinson can ban my account.
What the heck happened???
You’re a great FReeper, Joseph. Thanks for your contributions in so many ways. So long, sir.
God bless you. You were one of the greats.
So sorry to see you go.
You mean because it's moving away from mindless cheerleading for the guys with an "R" behind their name?
There ARE other options! Jim, don't pull the plug! Let him sleep on it! (babble babble babble)
>>>What the heck happened???
A Ruling Class Republican not liking what’s going on?
That’s not much of an indication. Where do you think FreeRepublic is going?
??????? Would you care explaining what is wrong with FR now as opposed to when you joined?
One pit bull article to many I guess.
Thank you, I was...I really was...Actually, I still am!
I don’t think I’ve ever had any major issues with you.
In any case, don’t forget to remove the rectal implant.
That's exactly why he's taking a hike.
Good riddance.
I find your lack of clarification disturbing. Bye.
It is a perversion of terms to say that a charter gives rights. It operates by a contrary effect — that of taking rights away. Rights are inherently in all the inhabitants; but charters, by annulling those rights, in the majority, leave the right, by exclusion, in the hands of a few . . . They . . . consequently are instruments of injustice.
The fact, therefore, must be that the individuals, themselves, each, in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.
As a lurker, I read and appreciated your insight on many topics.
I hate to see you leave. Please keep fighting the good fight! Good luck!
