Free Republic | Jan 25, 2002 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

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

Thanks for the ping, Tonk!

AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN

[Cold Heat]

Perhaps I should expand the point a bit. I used the words ant-etablishment to refer to constant and repeating anti Bush treads that I have seen recently. I used the word rhetoric to refer to the fact that most are opinions based on political sour grapes and not fact. In fact, many are out right lies that originated from socialist propaganda sites and picked up by the liberal media and then posted here for my reading enjoyment.

Upon posting a thoughtfull reply, I often find myself being labeled a Bushie!

[woollyone]

Agreed! We must stay on task.

And, whatever else you do, please DO NOT post from DEMOCRATS UNDERGROUND (or any other such trashy un-American socialist hangout).

Thank you

Thanks for the ping and BTTT.

Thanks for your vigilance Jim.

Hey y'all; I think some of us just got a spanking.

[Geronimo]

I'm agreed...too many moronic vanities, self-titles, duplicate posts and all that...and any thing posted from that DU place is about as welcome here as a turd in a hot tub.

On a lighter note...I will be posting a vanity soon to see if any FReepers out here play harmonica, first position/cross harp...

Big bump to you Jim, keep up the good work and God Bless America...

[Your Vast Superior]

I think calling the victims of 911 "greedy" is a pretty crummy thing to do.

I agree completely.

"Charities" all over are being scrutinized, and that's a good thing. Fired charity exec faces theft-case trial

He did say we can trash the demoRats and I suggest we start with Waxman.

[kayak]

Thank you so much for this, Jim!!!

On far too many threads these days, there is no discussion and civil debate. After about 5 posts things have deteriorated to the level of an elementary school name-calling contest. And a lot of the language is on that level, too.

I have found myself complimenting people for simply having a rational discussion even if we were on opposite sides of an issue. That kind of discourse and exchange of ideas used to be the norm around here ..... now it seems to be the exception.

[lowbridge]

Hey y'all; I think some of us just got a spanking.

Don't include me in this...

...none of my posts are trash :-)

Pure gold...that's me.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Jim, thanks for everything!!! Especially this thread. Everyone else, ping's to ya!

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

LOVELY AND ON MY BIRTHDAY TOO

THANX JIM

God bless you, Mr. Robinson. Thank you for Free Republic.

I have a serious concern for the future of our republic, and the revival of
our constitution, especially the second amendment.

I have yet to post a vanity. When I do, please bury me head down, in the desert.

[TLBSHOW]

I new you were here. Now where is doug?

[notease]

"...Nor is it a place where anti establishment
rhetoric should be spread."

Does my esteemed colleague intend to promote
pro-establishment rhetoric? If that be the case,
allow me the courtesy of one minor difference with
the gentleman. The establishment can, I think we
can surely agree, take care of itself.

Could you give an example or two of anti-establishment
rhetoric which you think exceeded reasonable bounds.

Good. It's high time.

I thoroughly enjoy Mr. O exposing all the greed and sloppy management that's going on with some of these guy's.

It's shameful the way they have performed, they deserve to lose the public trust. And I bet this stuff has been going on unnoticed for decades, because they have no oversight.

Accountable to no one.

I think we just had a trip to the wood shed........
