Well it's been about 13 years forgot my initial sign in name, so pretty much from the beginning.
Never wanted to write a Free Republic Opus, love reading news stories here and commenting every day.
Would rather not go out in anger seems pointless.
Then today the owner of the site called me a RINO (I'm not), surrender monkey (not) and told me to write my opus and get out.
My sin was fighting with someone who suggested Obama losing in the latest poll is "bad news".
I could list all the insanity of what is going on here. I've tried to approach Jim Robinson in email to gently suggest the problems we are facing. It's clear from that he is not interested in discussing and resolving anything, which is a shame.
But what kind of man, American, conservative will I be if I worry more about losing my 12 year old screen name versus standing up to people who are espousing the advisability of reelecting Barack Hussein Obama, and yes if I fail to stand up to the owner of a site for calling me a liberal when I am a proud conservative?
What Jim Robinson is doing cannot work because first of all he is NOT attacking the posters who say it is best to reelect Obama. He's offended by anyone who says he is thereby supporting Obama. But he doesn't mind calling us names when we attack the pro Obamas.
OK folks, it's not going to work. You can't really oppose Obama's reelection if you may also oppose the republican's election.
Free Republic has become a house divided against itself and it cannot stand.
I'm a conservative I love my country, I have to wish away to the cornfield anyone who would assist in the reelection of Obama, from whatever misguided motivations.
I stand with Dick Cheney. The other day I had to fight with someone disparaging Cheney here. They were not criticized by the owner.
Jim Robinson owes me an apology. Not planning on getting one. The sad fact is I am not writing this because I'm offended. It's because I want to no longer assist here in the destruction of my country by those who will, to varying degrees, assist in Obama's reelection.
Six or seven liberals on the Supreme Court? Maybe atomic destruction down the pike after our disarmament. Israel destroyed. 2nd Amendment neutered. Obamacare used to deny people medical care based on age and political beliefs. Racial strife. A welfare socialist state. US attorneys going after republicans.
My wife is a cancer survivor who reasonably fears that in the future they will deny her care because she is a registered republican. And she's no RINO, she hates Obama and she won't read Free Republic stories anymore because of what is going on here.
We have a real country and real lives out here that go beyond Jim Robinson's ill advised name calling against sincere conservatives who dare to disagree with him.
So F anyone who calls me a RINO for standing with Dick Cheney and against Barack Obama. I hate RINO's and I despise misguided so called conservatives who do anything to reelect Obama.
13 years, but it's nothing when put to the wall on my beliefs against the left wing democrat party. I have too many mirrors to look in. The people here who are every day posting that it will be best to reelect Obama, should be thrown off. Instead, well...
It's over.
No biggie ;)
The saga of that one is spread across Jim’s recent ‘clarification’ threads. First he was a ‘man of great experience who was a value to FR” and simmilar garbage, claimed to work for Newt in FL and a host of other unverified BS.
Same poop, different pooper.
This book won’t involve anything o reloading will it? Because I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT RELOADING ;)
Could be an interesting project.
(Inside joke for people wondering what I’m talking about)
Thank you for the clarification.. had me fooled too >.<
lol... you want to make a new one? ;)
Thanks very much for your reply.
There may have been a miscommunication on my part. I think you were responding to the ‘ruins’ of the party when I meant the ruins of the country.
>>I don’t want and we don’t need “rulers.”
I think that results in being ruled by others.
I know you don’t mean ‘be passive’ but without organization, organizational unity, hierarchy, leadership, valor only ends in a glorious death in defeat.
I don’t see the strategy wisdom in fighting in this manner.
The country and our freedoms are in danger. Since when is saying that considered "Drama Queen...rot"?
Though it’s likely obvious, I should have added in reply to:
>>>I don’t think anyone can be sure that anyone’s idea of conservatives will “rule,” the ruins or otherwise.
Then, without some assurance or at least some reasonably successful concept, I think it irresponsible to act in ways that further the ruination.
Thanks again for your reply.
“Thank you for the clarification.. had me fooled too >.<”
When I wrote it I wasn’t even thinking about the OP. Forgot he’s even got the heave ho. After I saw your replies I had to think about what you meant, then had a “DUH!’ moment ;)
My fault for not naming him in the prose. Note to self.
Since people recommend putting a far-left lying puke in the WH with an R behind his name as a “cure.” Hysteria!
I don’t understand how anyone thinks that the chickens banding together and going to wolf #2 and negotiating a deal to remove wolf #1 from the henhouse qualifies as logical.
There are several lists on this thread alone comparing and contrasting the wolves. Do these people think that magically wolf#2s stats will go poof and suddenly become conservative once elected?
It is indeed magical thinking to believe Mutt will be anything but the lying leftist he has always been.
Since people recommend putting a far-left lying puke in the WH with an R behind his name as a “cure.” Hysteria!
The country and our freedoms are in danger.
And that includes putting an admitted anti American tyrant like Obama back in the WH.
If the pro abort liar, Mitt becomes the Republican nominee and if one chooses not to support him, then one shouldn't rationalize that decision by saying that the country isn't in danger with Obama as our president.
You shouldn’t rationalize it and say it would be in any less danger with a far-left lying scumbag like Mitt in the Oval Office. Our economy is going to crash no matter what.
I made no such rationalization. It would be a Mitt type of lie to say that I did.
I think it crashes without new legislation - passed and signed into law. I.e., the current laws are heading us toward crash.
Further, I think avoiding this requires:
A (conservative) congress in both houses to propose and pass the new laws (or repeal current ones); and,
a veto proof majority if Obama is in office or a NotObama president that will not veto but sign them into law.
Then what’s your problem with what I said?
Yawn. I’ve seen better opuses written in crayon.
It is mathematically impossible (much less politically) to stop it now. America is going to hit the wall.
Same here. I think this simple statement is quite obviously right. These times require more than voting alone: constant political action. And, we should remember: social, individual, educational, moral, educational, etc. a lot must change.
I'm not sure about the mathematical impossibility. I think there are too many variables to make that statement. "Politically impossible" may be a better case. More possible for certain if this regime is deposed.
Thanks for your reply.
I apoligize for the length but a great discovery for me today.... Have you ever read the 'Federalists Papers'?
Let me tell you I've been reading just some of the quotes from them...as well as quotes made "during" the Constitutional Convention by our founders and others..... I'm convinced beyond doubt when Jim says 'Rebellion Is In The Air...he knows what he's talking about... I now know what he's standing on in saying that. Stunningly so!
It's one thing for we Americans to gripe and groan about our politicians....it's quite another when you "see" that the "Power Of The People" is God given to rebel... when all other avenues have been extended to politicians and they continue to be corrupt etc...and our founding fathers understood they were servants to the people and responsible to them.
I'm truly stunned after reading the Federalists Papers and the many speech quotes from our founders, which so many we do not hear repeated as much as others. It's all the others which create a uniform picture of who these great men were and how humble before God they were....and most of all their utter respect for the people and the offices of governances which would be held. Amazingly so.
I am now truly of the mind that few if that of our elected officials understand or have read these. Had they they would be shaking in their shoes about now....and should.
Thank you for asking that question...."What would our Founders Do".....it lead me to investigate what really would they do.....and I found my answers.
