Ferret: why I'm alarmed by FR & will never post here ever again (except for my 9 replies & counting)

The FR calls for the establishment of a dominant group - their brand of Conservatives - that keeps all the others in line including conservatives "who don't think right on various topics. The virtual community has degenerated into a witch hunt for any and all "untrue thinkers," who must be purged at all costs.


I have posted opposing viewpoints without harsh rebuke.
We share conservative values and like all conservatives when we see stupid we say stupid!

There is room on the world wide web for lots of forums. There is room for FR and LP. :))) I'll say this though. Jim Robinson and his crew keep this forum amazingly free of kooks, loons, anti-semites, Bush-haters, conspiracy nuts, lefties, and tin-foil hat types. Ergo serious matters can be discussed in a rational manner, and the forum can also serve as platform, when necessary, for activism. That's what separates this forum from many others.

So I'm Jim Robinson's useful idiot?

I love illiterate people who try to use big words. It's so cute.

...people have leadership and intuitive skills that can either debunk me, or ...

Ok, I'll debunk you.

I want the FR to flourish and to grow up ethically and responsibly, with a measure of respect and empathy for those other groups that blend with them to form our great nation.

Then, 2 graphs later you say:

If this doesn't happen, we will crush the FR and remove it like a malignant tumor...

It's apparent that your concept of "respect and empathy" only applies to those with whom you agree. This is the sickness that has become "tolerance" in the soft minds of people like you.

And WHO is the fascist?

[Soulfull]

You have clearly defined the goals and aspirations of Socialism, yet projected them on this forum. Socialist do project you know.

Is this an opus??

[aomagrat]

I don't have time to read all this drivel. I've got jackboots to polish.

I don't think so. I think (but I could be wrong) that this poster is just posting this guy's rant, not because he agrees with it though.

Time will tell if I am wrong in my guess though.

I am Michael Joseph McCarthy, well known forest activist in Eugene, Oregon who ran against Scott Meisner for City Council last election. I am a Member of the Pacific Green Party who wants this scoundrel in office now thrown out.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Another opus in need of grading.

[WhiteGuy]

Good and thoughtful points.

Bump for later.

Klamath water rights for farmers issue.

With all due respect for Freepers, Klamath Falls was a big, big issue on the net and on talk radio even without FreeRepublic. The person who typed in his feeeeeeeelings cites one example and it's bogus.

I counted the word fascist 1452 times.

If this doesn't happen, we will crush the FR and remove it like a malignant tumor before it destroys what we collectively hold dear

Speaking for myself and not as a Freeper, I am one who has been waiting for at least four decades for them (New Left pipsqueaks) to try. Bring it on! We have a free press after getting rid of the "fairness doctrine." Free speech is worth shedding blood for. Our free speech, their blood.

This isn't an opus.......Laz writes a fine opus.

"JimRob is shrewd, he wishes to influence those in higher office and at the same time remold the electorate into a cohesive force that can roll over any group that gets in it's way in a very unconstitutional fashion."

Let me guess. You are either a disenfranchised voter who lives in Broward County or you are Maxine Waters.

Bon Voyagee.

(or in the Free Republic's case the classic homosexual wedge issue)

Homosexuality isn't a wedge issue, it's a sin issue.
