[Admin Moderator]

We've had a lot of new folks join up recently. Welcome aboard, this thread is a gentle reminder of some basic posting guidelines. (And for some of you old timers as well) Please read the follow, and ask any questions. We will all try to help you out.

HOW TO POST AN ARTICLE

---

SEARCH

If it's a breaking news topic, check breaking news first, it's probably already posted.

To avoid duplicate posts, please search before posting. Use the published article title to prevent duplicates. The best method to search is to pick a key word or two from the title. If the article you are posting is, "Dan Rather Memo", start with 'Memo' for the key word. If it is a hot topic, you might want to use two or more keywords, in this case, try 'memo rather'. For an effective search, select 'match all words' and select 'order by post time'.

Vanities and General Interest.

General Interest (Chat)

All non-sourced non-news threads are posted here. This doesn’t mean your one thought is a thread by itself. Lately, we have been seeing articles posted that should be comments made on the main article. Your comment/vanity article will be pulled or moved to General Interest (Chat). Vanities should be limited to the mission of Free Republic.

Welcome to FR. I have great memories of Fr Bragg, met Mrs Zip there and been happily married to her for 41 years.

Hey man, she'd hurt ya.

Nah! You were born old and grumpy...

Could you give us an example?

"Pop culture has become news. It IS news."

Get a Life !!!!!!

Plop culture is denial of reality. (are you out of high school yet?)

[ShugahPop]

thank you zip!!

There have been a couple of old signup trolls, but they're few and far between. With the help of alert FReepers, we usually hear about them after one or two posts.

[uglybiker]

Hey man, she'd hurt ya.

Yeah. And your point is....?

[Libloather]

(And for some of you old timers as well)

Say, isn't that considered profiling? And just how many birthdays does the Admin Moderator have under his or her belt? Some of us may still have some spring left in our step compared to the 'one who zots'...

Thanks for the welcome. I have visited here on and off over the years and have been lurking for the past couple weeks, decided to register just today.

I have spent some years in the sovereign law movement and trying to stay out of the system so to speak but finally realized that I must get involved and work toward the goal of returning to a full constitutional republic even if it is one step at a time. IOW plow with the horses we have so to speak.

I have several disagreements with George Bush but I will be voting for him this year, and for the first time in several years. He is definitely the man to fight the war on Terror.

Anyway glad to be here as some at my old haunts think I have gone insane because I don't tow the extremist party line (for lack of a better name) anymore.

editor-surveyor, your wish is my command.

From the thread, "The Cult of the Viking Kitties"

Greetings, fellow cultists!

I hope you all had a good weekend.
Unless you were really, REALLY quick, you missed a ZOTted post by one of the deepest of deep-cover trolls [Caribmon: Since 1998-08-31] I've ever seen. I saved the HTML just to give you a chuckle. :)

Reality is hell; Bombings, shootings, crime, war, etc.
While it is of paramount importance for our nation's future that the voting populace is well-educated, i.e. that they know their national and world events and politics, we cannot feed our souls off of this info, only our minds.

We must alleviate the hell of reality on occassion if we are to stay sane; this is why God has allowed us to experience Fun and Entertainment. That is my reasoning.

BTW: Mr. Condescending, I am young for sure (22), but I am a smart one, and likely as conservative as you. Don't turn your back on me. I might just bite. Ggrrrr!

Oh, and do you REALLY believe that entertainment and media haven't become intertwined? For example, for better or worse (and nomatter how silly it was) when Britney kissed Madonna, did it not make FRONT PAGE headlines on many major newspapers and internet news outlets?

[Henchman]

Oh well here goes my membership. Where do I post this and how? Is this a CHAT item? Yes for real.

I went to http://www.factcheck.org/. As you know it is non partisan as opposed to bi partisan. I checked a few facts and seems KERRY is the big BS artist. Getting bored, I typed in Blow Hard - Kerry about 9 out of 10 top. Then I typed, yup, Blow Job (not really suitable for posting, but possibly OK for CHAT. KERRY won 10/10. Personally, I think that is about right, but the left would impugn the integrity of what I think is a balanced site.

Is there a programming error, is it correct or is there a programmer problem? Should we heep it quiet?

[LouAvul]

as when the L place went nuclear

Explanation please?

[LouAvul]

I was slammed the other day when complaining about too many vanities taking up space

I was slammed for making the same observation only the slammers slammed me because I had not been here long enough to make such an observation.

You got good veins.........
