Julie Annie is a socialist pig unworthy of mention on FR beyond expose’ of his deceptions.
Could everyone please stop posting! I’m trying to catch up!!
:-D
Spending is very important but so are tax rates. Tax rates have been cut and this is conservative and good. Also the deficit has been shrinking for years and this is good too. Spending has increased and this is bad and at least partly Pres. Bush's fault. But still, I believe he should get some credit for the lowered tax rates.
Oooh-oooh looky there, it's another "frisky regular" doing his thing.
Better be careful what you post or the world famous NY Observer will call you a bad name if you keep that up.
Has anybody here ever even heard of the NY Observer? I haven't until tonight.
bump for tomorrow
I just found out tonite about Travis. It’s amazing what can go on at FR and remain off my radar. I read by threads/articles and commented on Jim’s Guiliani jihad, but didn’t follow it. I guess reading by message is the way to go, but there’s so much on the forum I’m not interested in, it’s like trying to drink from a fire hydrant.
It is very hard to defend yourself when you can’t answer.Also since you are talking about them you could ping them.
MiaT was the only freeper I’ve ever seen banned who, after she was gone, some folks said they couldn’t decipher her posts or didn’t have nightmares any more.
1. Remove trolls, but forget about the brownshirt behaviour.
The "Zot" threads are intended to be humorous and fun. Just a little "blowing off steam" as we sometimes say. The person getting zotted has almost invariably come to the site for the purpose of posting inflammatory leftist nonsense and getting flamed and banned for doing so. We are just having a little harmless fun while taking out the trash. Sort of a "whistle while you work" kind of thing. There is nothing fascistic about it, it's just the site rules are being upheld: no leftist trolls allowed. So please reconsider your use of the term "brownshirt". I think it is unfair in this context.
2.I guess you Yankees has not experienced occupation and oppression on your land.
Brits and other foreigners sometimes call Americans "Yanks". That's fine. "Yankees" are something else, namely Americans from the North and in particular from the Northeast. We Americans from the South are almost always happy to be called "Yanks" but we most certainly are not Yankees. (And we have experienced occupation, but that is an internal matter among us Americans.) FYI.
I'd hate to think that this was the sole reason someone was banned. I think the 1986 Amnesty was a mistake and I thought so then as well. Immigration, legal and otherwise, has been an anti-American strategem of the leftists for over forty years. I've said this before here on FR and I've seen others say it too. Ronald Reagan was a great American and the best President for a long time, but not everything that happened on his watch is beyond fair conservative criticism.
Yup, I agree with Calcowgirl on this one. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Claiming that this site engaged in “brownshirt” tactics or behavior should require a high level of evidence or proof along with the claim. But then Eurotwit turns around and says that he hasn’t even read the whole thread, perhaps not even most of it. I think the right thing to do here is for Eurotwit to retract the statement, at least until he reads through the thread (and that’s not even counting the behavior that led up to that thread).
Well put, and accurate.
The problem with the Rooty Toots, and I've noticed this to a great degree with the Romneyites as well, is that they use those exceptions as excuses for the liberal record of their guy. They'll use anything, tear down anybody, to divert attention and justify their lib.
I've been surfing FR every time I've been on the internet since 1998. I surf FR more than any other site by far. I have never seen a thread title at all like what you quote there. I have heard of ridiculous nonsense being posted but it is always pulled immediately. Such posts are likely just lame leftists attempting sabotage and even FR's worst detractors know that such posts are not and have never been allowed here. Matt Drudge's reason for pulling the link to FR is not what he is quoted as saying here.
Every single article linked to Drudge was also posted on FR. FR became Drudge with interactive commentary... So, why would somebody that knew about FR bother to ever go to Drudge,
***That’s what I did. Most likely, I wasn’t alone. Drudge made a business decision because he sells advertising.
BTW, Lucianne NEVER got as big a FR and that must chap her ass. Even with a Drudge link she wasn't close.
Strange. I found him to be an insufferable boor and blowhard, unless the subject was aviation. His attitude toward women was appalling.
Just goes to show how different impressions are, especially filtered through text.
Maybe I’m missing something here, but why would one ping someone who has been banned from the website?
It seems it would serve little purpose, no?
