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
Well!!
Then if you are to the "right of Bush", that makes him to the "left of you"!
So by all means....BASH AWAY!
Does that include the school of "thought" that believes 9/11 was just part of a sinister plot to build pipelines across Afghanistan from the Caspian Basin (or across any other country our soldiers have set foot in during the last century)? I've been trying hard lately to avoid such articles, because if I read that stuff just one more time I'm gonna start bleeding from my eyeballs, but darned if some people don't post it everywhere else they can as a reply...even where there's almost no observable relationship to the thread topic.
Whaddya think?
I don't think I will comment on that.
Please correct the record, and re-direct your comments to the person they were intended.
His site is a staple for real Conservatives.
He has been an advisor to Karl Rove.
Why do we have those? And conversely, the "best?"
that was not MY comment, and I resent the implication that I'm here to bash our President. Either correct the record and send your response to the person (singular) that made it, or I'll ask that this post be removed.
Yes, I resent the implication that much.
That is exactly what the article at Frontpage did. Quite well in fact. Pat Buchanan is not a Conservative. Conservatives do not team up with Marxists. (Lenora Fulani) Have you considered writing a letter to the editor in resposne to the Buchanan article? Might make you feel better.
Snuck in a nice little Bush-bash with that one. A+ for style, D- for execution.
So calling Bush 'moderate' is now bashing? How sensitive can you get? Noticing that in many ways, he has not addressed any of the major issues that conservatives were anxiously hoping would be addressed (hence, 'establishment') is out-of-bounds? Demanding pure loyalty in all cases is a bit too subservient for Americans to stomach.
(Now I've got to go look up more of his past posts, and yours... be back in a few... Oh, and I know Bush has only been in office for a year, and has 3 to go. Still, he should have addressed tort-reform, election-fraud, Clinton's land-grabs for cash, term-limits, etc., by now. Or is that 'bashing', too?)
Thank you for saying this. As you no doubt know, newbies are often personally attacked when they enter into debate, and I am still occasionally shot down for being a "newbie" after being here several months now. Maybe in their book I will always be a "newbie".
I am sometimes reluctant to comment in threads that interest me because of the presence of some of these grouches. I choose to avoid defending the validity of my statements based on the date I logged into FR.
Trashing all newcomers who dare to jump into debate would certainly be the behavior of a dying forum. Fortunately I have found many friends here also, but only because I was willing to take a couple of punches first. I shouldn't have had to.
I don't know, but read what the other guy wrote to me.
To quote myself, "If I see ONE MORE POST about that ******* pipeline I'll strangle someone."
You are right on target. This socialist propaganda, masquerading as constitutional concearn accomplishes two things:
1. It drives some of the Freepers away from a potential constitutional friend -- e.g. Bush.
2. It prevents other freepers from actually holding a potential constitutional friend's -- Bush e.g. -- feet to the fire as we must now wade through and debunk all of the propaganda to actually find some correct critical information on the potential constitutional friend -- e.g. Bush.
