Hey FRiend!

My stats are low as well. The last time I got hit big was during the Obama thing and the tsunami.

An American Expat in Southeast Asia

[RockinRight]

That's quite true.

We're becoming as fragmented and childish as the liberals...

"You're a traitor because you support Rudy!"

"No, YOU'RE a traitor because you don't support Tancredo"

"Paleo Nutcase!"

"Baby-Killer"

That's pretty much the dialogue around here lately.

[RockinRight]

Me too.

People are tired of not being able to say a damn thing for fear of being banned.

[Hoodlum91]

That would be fun!

And would help the hit count, and possibly bring the Freepathon down to under 3 weeks again.

[Fierce Allegiance]

I'd like to see some of them come back, but some certainly deserve to ge gone forever and never heard from again.

[Fierce Allegiance]

LOL! I say pretty much what's on my mind, and have yet to even get s suspension with this screenname. That's because I am always such a nice guy, though. :)

[McGavin999]

Oh, and the Helen Thomas pictures. Dear God..the Helen Thomas pictures.

I think the Helen Thomas pictures are supposed to have the same effect as throwing water on a dog fight.

[RockinRight]

I do too, but lately I've even been a bit muted. I tend to go off on the social vs. fiscal/economic conservative threads though.

[Tatze]

Sorry, but you know it had to be done.

[Millee]

Maybe we could have a telethon of sorts & vote for who we'd like back. Be nice to have a little peace back here. ;o)

[Fierce Allegiance]

I would love to see Peacebaby come back. I still don't understand why he was ever sent away. If it's guilt by association, the one she was improperly associated with certainly deserves what it got.

[MEGoody]

Anyone have any ideas as to what is happening?

Maybe people got sick of spending all their time on line and decided to get a life.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Fun stuff!

[MEGoody]

Most of us are in a state of depression.

LOL I can recall that there was a dearth of liberals seeking psychological help after Bush won the Presidential election.

[zook]

I keep saying whatever I want. I try to be polite and non-combative. I don't reply to or try to argue witheveryone who disagrees with me.

But occasionally, someone will call me a name or tell me how dumb I am. When that happens, I give as I get or even worse. Once in a while I feel bad about it later, but often I feel quite good!

[MEGoody]

The Hunter fan club is about "anyone but mccain, guilliani and the mormon"

How nice of you to try to marginalize those who are supporters of Duncan Hunter. :::rolls eyes:::

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I agree, I also know of several bright, new posters who were banned because they objected to several of the old "Pure Conservatives" who were repeatedly violating the rules and nothing was being done about it.

The moment they voiced their objection of all the spam and nasty nature of the "chosen few", they were banned. While the "chosen few" kept their nasty and obscene rhetoric going without a thing being done about it.

Many long time FReepers also simply left this forum because they were tired of the hateful Anti-(You know who) rhetoric. As well as the constant negativity and lack of constructive and positive debate.

There may also be a down trend on Internet traffic, because people may be getting tired of sitting in front of their computers and letting the rest of the world pass them by.

What ever the cause, it is not a good idea to push people away. Any cause that welcomes all who are interested, can pass their core values on to the newcomers after they become interested. But they must gain new members for the cause to grow and become strong. But, by being exclusive, the cause becomes stagnant and eventually dies.

[RockinRight]

You're still here...

;-)

[jpsb]

Exactly correct, we conservatives have been played for fools by our leadership. Betraied and sold out on issue after issue after issue. Way to go neocons you've killed the GOP.

[Hoodlum91]

Don't forget crying to daddy!

"he was mean to me!"
