Your #133:

As I see it, this is the critical, heart of the matter,

This is war.

Nuff said.

What a great post from Jim. It is such a shame that leftist militant posters like jjbrouwer should accuse him of pure vanity.

As if anyone would dare to do that!

There is a time and a place for everything.

Jim, you work within the system, which is commendable. You do so effectively, which is admirable. Part of that system is a legitimate debate about what action would be effective in punishing and discouraging our enemies.

And equally so, we must shout from the rooftops the reason why these soulless bastards were able to perpetrate their psychotic attack -- because American citizens were disarmed by their own government! It's time to set a few things straight, starting with a network of power seeking zealots overseas. In the mean time, let's not forget the power seeking zealots in our midst who are destroying the freedoms that make our country so great; the freedoms that allowed us to defend ourselves in the past.

We have already seen that the "liberals" (leftists) don't let up, even in times like this. Between them and the autocrats on the right, who define security by how well every aspect of our lives is monitored and controlled, we will have no freedom left if we just give them carte blanche in the name of unity. Fight we must. And that means no help to the enemy with loose talk. But let's fight for justice in a just manner, and with the knowledge that we are fighting for freedom!

When I left Tennessee and came to Mississippi I had no idea I was making such a good move with Arator, the Fords, and ALgore left in the state.

Jim Robinson has bent over backward to "accommodate" Arator time and time again.

And every single time Arator comes on threads like this and publicly questions Jim Robinson, his ideas, and his web site. Good riddance. I hope this time it's for good.

ARATOR,"no current freeper by that name

I think he does it on purpose.

He likes to think he's standing up for a principle, and in this case, the principle is to tear down your government, seditiously, in a time of war.

This, to him, is a great idea. And he seems to think that unless JimRob puts up with it, we should rename JimRob 'Osama Jim Robin'.

Its silly; its petulant; its whiny; its immature posturing at its worst; and it is contrary to our wartime effort.

No. My Country is in the right! We were attacked. Thousands of our countrymen were killed or maimed. We are now at war! We defend our Country! We defend our freedom. We defend our right to exist!

"I am 68 & a female but IF I could, I'd sign up tomorrow.

Well ma'am it's the the thought that counts. When I was 18 in 1968 the Army wouldn't take me because I'm legally blind in my left eye. So I tried the Air Force and talked the Doctor at the physical into passing me. I volunteered for Vietnam and they sent me to Korea. The first thing I did when I got to Korea was to volunteer for Vietnam again, and that's where I spent my 20th birthday. And, like you, if I thought they'd take me, I'd enlist tomorrow. God bless you! And to Jim Robinson I say "Thank you!"

God Bless America!

The socialist's in Congress, the Senate, and state governments across the nation have not gone to sleep. In fact they have just been given the green light to carry on. And they will....under cover and undeterred. There seems to be this idea that you cannot give support for what they do right while at the same time not support them when they do wrong. There is this idea that support is all or nothing. I guess that comes from boot camp.

This is the part of your announcement that bothers me. You will see the freedoms, and rights you have been fighting for will be far more non-existent even long after this War is over. And we have learned that you can't much turn back the clock.

But this is your forum, and far be it from me to continually battle your will.(I never thought I would be on this issue) We will win one war. But it now appears as if the war defined in FR's Mission statement has been lost. And no I have no problem with necessary temporary loss of certain freedoms that are essential to the war effort. And sacrifice will be essential. And I am supporting GW and his leadership in this war effort.

It is just to bad that Gun control, The corruption of justice by the elite, Camera surveillance, Globalism, and the surrendering of national sovernty among other things will continue in the halls of government. If I am wrong then I will have to admit it. As for right now -I feel like I am among strangers. And I can't help but think that I have been wasting a lot of time fighting for things that no longer even matter. And I have given nothing compared to the likes of people like Kristinn who gave there all- day after day out on the picket lines(and invented freeping) and now in my mind have no home on FR because they, and I, and many others have been branded kooks because we don't want to put the other war to sleep.

But a lass the time has come to honor your wishes and put that war to sleep. It is over. I have lost, and now I have spoken my peace. Let the Mainstream take over.

I aagree totally that now is the time to stand with the President.

But....now is not the time to obey ALL edicts from Washington blindly.We must ,each of us, think about what new rules and laws are being proposed.We must,each of us,make SURE that tyranny does NOT bloom in this nation...just for more security.

To do that....would mean the terrorists have won.

That being said...let's go find the terrorists that did this...and punish them.

Arator, I don't know what you have done to upset these people but I sympathise with you. It is particularly cowardly to cc a message to the proprietor of the site in the desperate hope of getting another poster banned. I trust he will ignore that pathetic exercise.
