Vanities Arent The Problem (Time For An FR Cleansing)
The Awesome Mind of VaBthang4 ^ | 11/06/08 | VaBthang4

Posted on 11/06/2008 6:27:52 AM PST by VaBthang4

I have been reading some of the crap on this board after the election and some of it is shocking.

I've seen plenty of vanities...but to me vanities aren’t the problem....the messages contained in many of them reflect a mindset that IMHO has no place here.

I've always thought of FR as a place where Conservatives (not Republicans) dominate and idiots kind of hang around the periphery sniping with their stupid notions. But (more and more) you read some of the dumbest crap here...and then see a coterie of nitwits chiming in with their agreement. Allot of it is the type of stuff borne out of mindsets (everything but the truth) that dominate on liberals sites.

IMHO, Jim should boot a grip of these dummies like he has before. They run off and start their own anti-FR websites (that eventually die on the vine). But they do not belong here anymore.

We're not about opposition for the sake of opposition. We (Conservatives) have principles. But you can’t violate your principles while trying to promote them at the same time. Lying, half-truths, vague implications, charges without a shred of evidence, paranoia, etc, etc. That is not how we get down. Or at least shouldnt be.

Some of you all need to check yourselves. And if you don’t, I hope for the good of this website, Jim does.

I am still waiting for an answer... because if I am the person who has ‘overstepped’ I'd like to know how and where... honestly.

Why don’t you create your own blog. Then you can be assured that only the most intelligent of posts (yours) will be allowed.

The reason we have so many vanities lately is that the libs have outmaneuvered conservatives in this election. It was a masterful stroke to pick Obama. He goes against everything I believe and we don't even know who he is. If he is the person I think he is then we are in deep trouble. FReepers know this in the back of their minds. Their sense of justice has been violated and they are more worried than they have ever been. Hence, all the vanities, in the absence of hard facts, are a consequence of the insanity of the Obama election.

I would have thought that an old timer such as yourself would recognize an official FR banned or suspended announcement.

A purge? Reeducation? Beatings and torture?

We have to choose one?

It's my impression that this is happening, although not as a bug-zapper thread. The Mods have booted a number of posters this week.

What about those of us whom wish to ‘conserve’ the proper use of the written English language...may WE stay?
Personally, I’d like to see postings from those whom know how to properly use commas, don’t begin fragmentented sentences with conjunctive words like ‘And’ or ‘But’, will use ‘ly’ adverbs, and know that there is no such word as ‘’Allot’’.

Drop the pretentious ‘IMHO’ act and focus on yourself first.

We need LESS of these types of posts. We cannot win without fighting back and you do not take a knife to a gun fight.

Good observation. I might also note, that a ‘vanity’ from a concerned conservative Freeper is more intellectually stimulating to read than the bonfire of the vanities coming from the MSM these days! LOL

Speaking of dumb threads, here’s one:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2125794/posts

LOL.

I saw and posted on that thread. I really love the fact that the republican party nominates Senator Amnesty, yet it's the Libertarian's (and libertarian's) fault when he goes down in flames.

Since you apparently have this unique ability to see what is a dumb or a stupid notion I really need your help. Because I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing.

I've been having lots and lots of sex (safe, of course) with lots and lots of women. It is not something I decided to do on purpose it just started happening to me awhile back. They (these women) just won't leave me alone. At clubs, Wal-Mart, the gym, etc. I'm not sure why this is happening but it is like almost every day. Sex sex sex.

So, considering that you know how things should work what do you think? Should I keep doing this or stop?
