I think Goldie's site will be shut down shortly along with Riveros and all the AFER sites. It appears that FR is going back to its roots where GW was just a coke addled playboy and Buchannan and Keyes were the only chance "conservatives" had of staying pure. Moderator,please nuke my account.
I've not broken the rules of the site. I've been on Free Republic longer than almost everyone else. I haven't changed, Jim Robinson has. Not knowing who is protected and who is not, not knowin what specific thoughts and ideas are prohibited and which are not, I fear that I will not successfully be able to navigate this new minefield that Jim Robinson has now laid. I'm not angry at Jim Robinson. I'm frustrated, sure. But mostly I feel a profound feeling of disappointment at Jim's recent actions, recent statements, and the fact that he is squandering Free Republic's potential and promise in pursuit of something I can't identify. Funny, I feel precisely the same way about today's Republican Party.
Sorry, hungry. Pointless to debate a pointless point.
Sorry but it is completely on point. You sated that people on Medicare were getting "free" medical care at taxpayer expense and yet you state that, when eligible, you will collect, at taxpayer expense, Medicare since your retirement plan demands it. By your own words, you have admitted that those you implied were leeches will soon have one more member.....you.
Of course I'll collect Social Security at the age of 66, although there too, even though I worked many years under social security and have all my quarters necessary
So you will be one of those with "free" healthcare then. I am just wondering what dog you ghave in this fight.
I'm not old enough for medicare or social security at this point
So you retired early? Congrats! Once you hit 65 or 66 do you plan on collecting social security and medicare? I ask this since all retirement medical benefits are contingent on you accepting Medicare as your primary insurance.
