Thanks for that.

To do this yourself start with this:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/

Add on at the end the page you want to find:
http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a363bb2bb46a7.htm

Bring up the page and you get a calendar grid. On this one click the link at the top entitled “August 31, 2000” and it will bring up the page.

This was originally posted just days before 9-11-2001.

And few confidence scams in all history are more diabolical than the one to spirit away American liberty under the false promise of the free lunch.

Is this the thesis statement? Because it really does encapsulate the problem, doesn't it?

[Revel]

Yeah it does say a lot.

So does the fact that the mods moved it to chat. They put this on the same level as a two sentence Rant. And we wonder what went wrong.

[barmag25]

Is coyote and ace the same person?

[Revel]

Maybe. I was never sure.

[Revel]

Thanks. I did try but had difficulty. For instance the original sin link in this article is I believe the original from 1998. And there is another link in their as well for Original sin. I can’t get ether to work.

But thanks for you work. I is awesome to be able to see those again. People should make copies of some of them.

[barmag25]

I’ve read them all and ace sound like Rush Limbaugh. Just a hunch from the words used.

[No One Special]

I think I saw a link from 1998 also but I couldn’t bring it up on the wayback machine.

This is what I got:

OK. Here’s ‘Original Sin’ posted in 1999:

Here it is posted in 2001:

Just ran across the one from 1998:

Yes, originally from 1998. Thanks Revel, for reposting. This essay was what first TRULY opened my eyes to the dangers we faced and how deep the roots were. My children have all been home schooled as a result.

Coyote is missed. I always read his posts. Thanks for all the additional links.

[listenhillary]

Thanks for the ping.

I keep thinking that people will look at California, New York and see what a disaster Statist’s are capable of.

The problem is that most aren’t capable of thinking at all. That sounds pretty elitist of me I suppose.

[Revel]

That version was Posted just a month after I joined. Thanks.

[Revel]

Glad you read them. He does use a lot of fancy words like Rush. But I don’t believe that Rush looks at things like these articles do. Rush has a very different perspective. Rush is far more gullible and simplistic about what is happening. I never even heard him mention Gramsci. Anyway- I hope that you enjoyed them.

[OwenKellogg]

Gramsci ping.

[Lazamataz]

Thanks....

[Revel]

It is hard to imagine that this posted 23 years here on Free republic. He called it way back then. Written by one of the original freepers. I have always considered this the most influential article I have ever read here in all of these years.
