Way too many vanity threads lately. And way too much trash being posted. Please try to stay on topic (politics). Also, please do a search on a significant word from the title of your article before posting. This will reduce the number of duplicates. And, along these same lines, please use the original titles on your article posts. Do NOT edit the titles. Do NOT use "My Title" titles. This will also help to reduce the number of duplicates.
And, whatever else you do, please DO NOT post from DEMOCRATS UNDERGROUND (or any other such trashy un-American socialist hangout). Free Republic was intended to be a socialist free zone. We've gone to a heck of a lot of trouble to make it that way. Why in the world would you think we would be interested in having their trash posted here?
And QUIT trashing each other. You know who you are. Knock it off! Way too many flamewars and feuds going on. And, while I'm thinking about it, QUIT trashing our conservative candidates. If you want to criticize someone's position on some policy, have at it. But do not trash or smear the man. That would include Browne, Buchanan, Bush, Keyes, et al, or whomever else may be your favorite trashee (examples listed in alphabetical sequence). The idea is to get more conservatives elected, not to trash the ones you don't like. If you want to trash someone, make it a Democrat. Thank you.
And QUIT dredging up old communist propaganda to smear our conservatives. Sheesh! Whatever else you may think about our guys, they did not hijack airliners full of people and crash them into buildings. No, my friends, not even the dreaded CIA. Anyone who would believe (or even suspect) that crap is no FReeper. I've been pulling this crap whenever I see it and several people have been banned for continuing to post it. I do not want it on Free Republic. Any current FR poster who believes this leftist propaganda, please logoff immediately, send me your resignation via email, and I will delete your account.
Thanks,
Jim
It's extrememly RUDE to dismiss his request. Shame on you. You might want to leave if you find his requests "burdensome."
She has basically said that if Jim does not spell out consequences then people will probably not follow his guidelines.
You then shoot back " how dare you not follow Jim's guidelines you rude person"
I don't know if you get it, but you are not being intellectually honest here. You are implying that she is posting garbage when in fact she is simply expressing concern over other people posting it and how to effectively get them to stop.
What "slander"? Buchanan thinks the Government should be in charge of making sure the "working man" has a job that is protected, and that our "national culture" is protected as well.
That's "fascism". I said nowhere that he wants to round up folks and put them in camps (although it would be interesting to hear the details of what he's going to do with all the "illegals"), just that his positions on issues is distinctly Fascist. That's a legitimate political label, and he fits it very well.
And the Libertine party does nothing but cry and scream about the destruction of the status quo, and when you press them for details, you get "legalize drugs." They are nihilists, simply put.
Again, I just point out what they do, and what they're for. If you interpret that as "slanderous" then you need to look up the meaning of the word.
What sort of other consequences could there be? Do you think Jim is going to come over to the posters house and force them to bed with out pudding after the first offense? Maybe for the second offense they get grounded?
It really isn't that complicated. If he doesn't want it here, its going to get yanked and if you insist on doing things that you have been asked not to do, then don't be surprised when you are not welcome to post here.
Why not have the "latest ten irrelevent threads that have been trashed because we are not a chat room" side bar?
People will figure out what to post and what not to post very quickly.
The absolute best chat roms I ever saw, were MSN chat rooms. They were by far the most versatile, and allowed many things, such as wav files, and other things. Now that I am on DSL, I am on Pacific Bell, so I can't get MSN anymore.
I've never disputed the numbers in your post #272. I've only addressed -- many times now --Bush's first year budget of 2002 and nothing else. Your post #272 does not address that, it only goes up to year 2000. Your remarks on Bush's first year budget have been incorrect -- something about budgets increasing at 3 times inflation. In the 2002 budget, the rate of spending is roughly equal to the rate of inflation plus the rate of population growth.
The record on what I've posted and what you've posted in this thread is looooong and it doesn't get removed -- so it can be seen over and over.
Lol ...
(P.S. Sorry.)
Well, I have not seen this, so I would not know. Maybe it is better. When I was on MSN, however, I found myself wasting a lot of time in the chat rooms. I just don't do it anymore.
