Free Republic Sucks
Free Republic Sucks ^ | May 1, 2003 | By Edgar Hall, Political Editor

Posted on 05/01/2003 11:06:14 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Well, well, well. And yet another anti-Freeper site springs up:

We must be doing something right to have so many Bush haters hating us so much.

Well, we wish you luck. You'll have plenty of competition from FR haters.

I think he should be a multi-millionaire. We are in agreement on that.

Fred, there is no other place on the internet that has the intuitive elegance, HTML leverage, comfortable feel and consistant network-greatgoogalymoogaly uptime responsiveness of this place. Nobody else can make it happen. It's like a Mark Knopfler guitar solo.

This place, these Robinson engineers, have honored the potential of the internet beautifully. This is a real community.

Jim provides huge value, he is righteous to set a profitable price.

Regarding Dan's post #385 and JimRob's reply #403:

I remember those days in 1999 and the previous 6 years when each morning I'd awaken only to find a new, more troubling scandal. I thought that it couldn't get any worse, yet the accumulation of them all seemed like it could very well be spelling the end of America.

I registered here at FR in 1998, and have seen the various major feuds, which always led to some members leaving, others being banned, and yet FR is still here and IMHO, FR is at least partially responsible for what I consider to be an America in much better shape than in 1998.

I don't agree with all of President Bush's policies. Before I condemn him or members of his Administration and refuse to continue supporting them, I stop and recall those 8 horrific years in the 1990s, and then I think of 2004.

There is trouble a brewin' again my friend. This Peterson case has summoned pundit lawyers from their rectal thermometer marathons in swampworld ... none more horrific and appalling than Jerralyn Merritt.

She's the most vile demon from Hell since Carrottop. Chris Matthews is voodoized: "Must book Jerralyn, must book Jerralyn, must book pretty Merritt ... must hang myself, take that down Mandy"

Can the thunderously passionate and spectacularly interracial porn team of Marcia and Chris be anywhere but near?

Hi LNM!

You know how I break down my day for you ... Gerry Spence called me earlier, he's in the pundit queue because of this Peterson trial.

It's been a while since he's been on TV, and he asked me what he should wear.

Bold? Hey, that's me! I recommended a black crew neck T-shirt underneath a light Brown Buckskin leather jacket with leather strip acroutiamentals. I hope I didn't go gonzo.

defending Constitutional Government

Yes, that is what we are doing. What do you think the Democrats/Socialists plan to do to the Constitution - especially since the electoral votes really hinder their controlling the country with California and New York in their bag.

You may not see the danger of the dems in power - but I sure do. And, I am proud that we have Bush as president - couldn't ask for better. Miracle man he is not but just look back at all he HAS accomplished.

Well, I think you know what I meant. I like tpaine, btw. And you too.

This is a thread identifying a web site dedicated to the contemptuous ridicule of Jim Robinson and Free Republic. They want this place gone, and Jim ruined.

When tpaine shows up to offer his grievences in vicarious support of the vandals ... that's just boorish to me. tpaine has no grievences, nor do I, nor do any of the thousands of FRs dysfunctional delinquents.

You can have him Fred. tpaine is quite the social butterfly. Saddam Hussein turned 66 March 28. So 66 is capable of being an asshole.

We're not all victims here ... wait, I heard Luis sing.

Poor little arnie, our minnesota screech owl

The whole concept of an owl that "screech"s is baffling. Millions of years of evolution have given those birds a feather weave that is silent, eyes that penetrate the dark in focused detail, camoflauge that makes them invisible against the night sky ... and they screech.

Hey, you want to meet a Passenger Pigeon or Moa?

"Crackdown!UP!"

By Edgar HallUGH, Political Editor An Obvious Drop-out from Public Schools

WHEN crusading Conservative Jim Robinson first set up Free Republic six years ago, he had high hopes for his message board, baby...

...If posters wanted to sound off against the government, that was just fine with Jim. And (Poor grammar) iIf one of those posters happened to believe George W. (period after an initial) Bush was a "cokehead felon,(no space needed)" good luck to him!

...Nowadays such attacks on Dubya are mightilyy (use an adjective here) unwelcome - don't you know there's a war on? (this is ridiculous!) - and a new breed of "Texas Chainsaw" moderators has (Improper use of helping verb, use the singular, not the plural. It should be 'moderators have') instructions to stamp down on any insubordination.

This was fun, but I'm bored now with his ignorance and whining.

I have supreme confidence what scenarios would unfold if somehow Washington, Hamilton, Madison, Jefferson and Adams were transported to America 2003.

First, they'd shit their bloomers. They would be in awe of the machines ... but far moreso of the people. Hispanics, Blacks, Chinese, Indian, Albino and their whiter cousins the Irish. 270 million strong. That's just in line for Conan tickets.

They'd be 2 minutes on the Street and they would demand a caucus and 225 year debriefing. They'd be spellbound on historical events, especially the Godzilla-Mothra battle. The Civil War would devestate them.

We survived that. We beat a military imperial power in WWI. We snuffed out three of the most powerful and motivated fascist regimes in World History in WWII. We defeated the Worldwide threat of Communist Despotism ... that murdered 50-70 million innocents.

The boys would idolize us. They'd be blown away that we still have three branches, two Legislative bodies with disparate rules and tenure, a Supreme Court of nine, an electoral college and a service oriented Elanor Mondale.

They made the frigging system feature and upgrade rich. After learning of our Civil War, our 20th Century Wars, the Marshall Plan, our current challenge .... those boys would be crying. They weren't worthy in their minds, but they dodged numerous bullets before. Usually from a sauced Franklin. Everyone would leave with a shit eating grin.

America works. The Constitution is ready, willing and able to rock and roll all night.

________________________________________________________________________________

You ignored my inquiry in post 95 to post94? After all that did seem a bit tonque N' cheek considering the how that gif was previously used?

___________________________________________________________________________

P.S. You still have not demonstrated who has attacked mormons since Illboy got the heave ho (man overboard)

All one has to do is to do is read those endless post that have been going on for weeks after, which continue to mock the LSD.

Those of you KNOW who you are

1-Few is always "Goating, trying to incite, or flaming the fire!"

2- Another is OBSESS and need to post gifs about the burning bosom, records of the golden plates, etc.

3- Another pops out the hole to spew wretched resorts!

4- And of course now and than your triades!

5- Endless Weather Reports which is a code name for Mormons!

I ask a question of Jim Robinson

Question to JR

JR answer which you ignored

"The John Calvin Thread" could not resist in mocking the LDS with gifs. Gifs that all seem to yell about, now use them with impunitie.

The Theology of John Calvin

No where can you see where the LDS have engage in this ungoing behavior!

__________________________________________________________________________________

Posted by Jim Robinson to restornu On News/Activism ^ 05/02/2003 9:31 PM MDT #304 of 637 ^ Well, there have been people on both sides of your particular feud banned. And both (or all three or four sides) all claim bias on the part of the moderators. funny how that works. Why you guys want to continue hammering and bashing on each other, God only knows. If the feuding would stop, then you wouldn't have to worry about whose ox is getting bored.

__________________________________________________________________________

Now the LDS has refrain from contributing to this tirade. You Rev insisited on proof. Where as after JR answer I just left it be. Even though I knew this continuing one sided attact seem hopeless!

Please I know how this can seem to paint a picture that you are the "bad guys" and the LDS are "angels" which is NOT true.

Many of the LDS do try to be considerated! Some of us are still growing, including Illbay!

If we were all alike it would be humdrum!

In effect, this thread invited comments. I responded to some that were made. Big FReeking deal.

tpaine has no grievences, nor do I, nor do any of the thousands of FRs dysfunctional delinquents.

These posts are certainly proof of ~your~ dysfunctional problems fufkin, I'll grant you that.

You can have him Fred. tpaine is quite the social butterfly. Saddam Hussein turned 66 March 28. So 66 is capable of being an asshole. We're not all victims here ... wait, I heard Luis sing. 633 -fufkin-

"Social butterfly"? Bizarro.
