Free Republic losing its impact

I've conferred with the judges, and they have unanimously voted to add this to the *Opus List.

From the decision:

...due to his far-reaching knowledge of the site in question, along with his base and revolting "handicapped joke" and his penchant for ill-conceived crackpot theories, this court finds the defendant, beyond any doubt, being one who was tossed from this site for idiocy and crank-like behavior...

Perhaps those of us who want things to be more wild and willy should start a yahoo forum for freepers on steriods.

As a "red meat" Libertarian I would certainly agree the discussions around here lack the substance I would like to see while simultaneously including the most bizarre non-arguments I have ever witnessed, but I must ask: Where can I go to experience a "wild and willy" environment?

Best regards,

[Cachelot]

Matt Maggio? They like his views on Jews over on Vanguard, I see :).

Maybe he's tried here. He sounds ... bitter.

Hey Willie,

After reading that post from the other site, one one thing comes to mind:

Ass munch.

I'm not sure why, but that was the first thing that popped into my mind.

[BOBTHENAILER]

I have dual citizenship. I'm a Cheesehead and a Yooper . . .

That explains everything. You just invalidated everything you posted here.

[Cultural Jihad]

Seems racist to me...

Its got to be tough to be a Brigadier. You get all these schmucks running around giving your point of view a bad name, and then everyone craps on you thinking you think the same way.

President Bush isn't God?!?!?!?!!?!?!

Well looks like we can forget about the Day in the Life threads from now on. /sarcasm

Piff.

[TLBSHOW]

BUMP

[Bella_Bru]

Or assclown.

[sneakypete]

An exerpt from this editorial indicates that it is a racist website.

Willie,are you so PC that something as basic as only wanting to marry and have children with your own "type" is "racist"? How is any harm done to anyone by that? Do people from other races/religious backgrounds/cultural backgrounds now have a RIGHT to demand he and his children marry them? What ever happened to the right of free association? Or does that only apply to non-whites now?

"This guy misses the point entirely. History has been made by this website. THAT is news. Because of FreeRepublic, Fox News, talk radio, other internet sites, etc. the tide is turning away from what Robert Bork called extreme individualism and egalitarianism that was born in the 1960's and reached its zenith in the 1990's. This website has a tremendous influence."

Great assessment...

Free Republic has proven THE people can indeed right a ship that had once appeared to have veered completely off course. Thanks, Jim Rob...

"They" now know -- WE ARE WATCHING THEM.

Ha!

[Always Right]

Is this guy kidding? FR is a key part of 'the new zeitgeist'! We play an important role in the 'echo chamber' baiting the mainstream media into covering the talking points of wealthy ultraconservative billionaires. This Matt Maggio fellow needs to listen to Al Gore.

[AppyPappy]

Basing your opinion solely on pigment is silly.

[Bella_Bru]

I think the phrase "mutant kids" seals it.

[Wolfie]

Oh fer cryin' out loud, get over yourselves, people. FR is a glorified chat room, nothing more.
