This site is for CONSERVATIVES, you aren't one, you posted a lame vanity to news; you aren't welcome here.

Dude, you are totally in the minority. Let the kid hang around, I bet he learns something before he leaves.

I am sorry that you hate me. I earn and invest capital and am therefore a "Capitalist". I do not hate you because you are a socialist/communist. I merely pity you and hope that you come over to the free side. Sincerely, ExpatGator (Unrepentant Capitalist)

No one can be expected to hang around forever. I bet we get some replies tomorrow morning.

"I'm no conservative"
Libertarian?

No, Just a tired old shamed liberal Democrat from the golden age who could no longer tolerate the idea that we would be governed by imbeciles like Dukakis and crooks like Clinton.

I had to put up with Carter and I just shut my eyes.

Isn't "progressive movement" a contradiction in terms?

If you eat some prunes your movement will progress faster. :D

Yours is the most interesting post I've read all day. Maybe all year so far.

We could fight like cats in a sack about many things, but let's not. All I'll start with is this: if you hate capitalism, you haven't been acquainted with any capitalists.

For instance, I'm one. I've started several companies, created about 50 jobs over the years, have had about 300 employees come and go and have been working 6 or 7 days/week for several years because that's what it takes to be the boss.

I don't sit in a big leather chair smoking a cigar. I work. Hard. I hire people. We make and sell things. Sometimes we make a profit; far more often than I'd like we don't.

That's capitalism. I wouldn't have it any other way.

In before the zot?

Not sure this Lib quite deserves a Zot. After all, CC has made some good points, and has been respectful, unlike most DUmmies who troll here.

Very Clever. I am a tad leary, but I vote not to zot you at this time. Your dissenting voice is welcome as long as you are open to debate and avoid the typical name calling that most "progressives" hurl once in a heated political discussion.

I see that we do not agree on a lot of things, but your post is welcome here. It will be mocked, ridiculed, referred to by some, praised by others and solicit feedback both good and bad. I say Nice Post.

FRee Republic is about open dialogue as you have found.

Stick around, don't get yourself ZOTTED! and your opinions will be welcomed here.

IMO of course. :o) Happy FReepin'

I don't think you should be zotted. I do have to wonder if you have ever thought which system- Socialist, Progressive, Capitalist is most likely to respect your Right and Freedom to bear arms? Care to venture a guess.

I like hanging out with wealthy people.

Their beer is usually better than mine.

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control I'm not allowed any alcoholic beverages. (I sure miss margarita's though!)

I have however noticed hanging out with wealthy people generally means more steak. Nothing like a good ribeye or t-bone to put me in a great mood!

Why would I be zotted? This is not my board, but if I am zotted, I hope there would be at least an explanation of why.

You have already shown that you are smarter than 99% of the trolls who pop in here by acknowledging that "this is not my board". It is critical that you understand and remember that this is Jim Robinson's site. And if you get banned, you likely won't get any explanation. You'll know why you got banned.

He hasn't been rude or obnoxious like the troll disrupters. Let him lurk for a while. If he's pro 1A an 2A like he describes, he's already part way there. For now I say there's hope for this one.
