Good Luck to You Joe for Clark!!

[Homer Wells]

After reading your latest locked post, I actually do sort of understand where you are coming from, but I don't think arranging to have yourself banned from this organization is actually going to absolve you from your feelings of moral obligation.

We live in a frightening time, made more so by the traitors who lead this country currently.

I can understand the terrible frustration at the apathy of the Average American. What is happening to this country is so completely beyond the comprehension of these people that they just refuse to believe it (and there will ALWAYS be that small percentage who like what BushCo is doing)!

Try to step back and look at this mess long term. It has taken the NeoCons over 40 years to put our country in this current position (counting forward from November 1963), and it will be a generational thing getting this country back in the right direction.

You have been here for a long time (much longer than me) and have been much more active than I in spreading the TRUTH from the rooftops.

Life goes on, my friend, and folks like you and the rest of those here on DU can prevail, but it will be a helluva long frustrating fight.

Hang in There!!!!

4. Hear hear! A K and an R for Joe! nm

6. Amen Steve. I know very little about the incident...

...to which you refer at the top of your post, but I still concur with your insightful conclusions. We will win, but it's gonna get ugly. We just need to maintain hope and keep fighting the good fight, come what may.

Welcome to DU. And...

Never Give Up.

9. I'm loving this new "penalty box" or "Self exile" method of suspending

instead of an instant TS. Probably moreso than others because I managed to post myself into a 3 day drunk tank suspension which I'm very glad wasn't a TS. We all hit that "post" button a little too quickly sometimes before we re-read what horrible thing we just typed. Nice to have some flexibility from the mods.

10. Peace, JfC.

[sanskritwarrior]

11. What are you on about?

The Neocons killed Kennedy?

WTF????

[tkmorris]

21. Nice try

He didn't in fact say that, and it's bad form to try to derail a thread.

[Madspirit]

13. k&r for Joe...n/t

[Ellipsis]

14. Not just another Joe.

K&R




From a tune call "Dogs of War"

Nothing seems to ease the pain, the reaper's shadow still remains
Sniper lets the bullet fly, in the distance someone die
The town becomes an empty shell, come and spend a day in hell
Forgotten what we're fighting for, no-one wins this bloody war

15. Waiting for you Joe.

We who have others in harm's way need you around. See you after time out. (Don't permanently leave).

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

16. JFC, you might have had the

intention to disrupt, early on.

Perhaps you saw that those with whom you might disagree will still attempt to understand the anguish you experience, because we all love our children. Your spare prose is heart wrenching.

Please keep posting, you contribute so much. MKJ

[salin]

17. I certainly felt the anguish of JfC in his posts....

wishing him the best.

19. Joe, you're OK, pal ...

rant all you want, even when you're not making any sense. I'll listen.

[Snazzy]

20. joe's got style!

[Booster]

22. I miss your posts, Joe, although I didn't understand most of them.

I know you have a son in Iraq and after your suspension is over, maybe you could give us an address where we can send your son a couple of packages - we will need your help to let us know what he wants and needs. Take some time to rest and know you are missed her on DU.

[Nutmegger]

23. I hope the agitators feel like total shit.

It's sad that it had to come to that.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Joe for Clark as I throughly enjoyed his posts.

[MonkeyFunk]

24. It is sad

but no "agitators" did anything to cause it. He asked repeatedly to be banned - he only got a suspension.

[ConsAreLiars]

25. Another word of appreciation, both for the mods and for Joe

He speaks his truth, and all too often gets rather agitated. As we all should be every day. (I called him batshit crazy and also told him that anyone who was not somewhat "batshit crazy" probably wasn't really paying attention.) And he expresses his distress by starting several threads and being a bit too noisy, putting a burden on those whose title is "moderator," but not out of malevolence or any intent to disrupt. I hope he can become a bit more disciplined, but even if not, he tells an important truth about this ubjust war and its cost. He is a valuable member of this amorphous community because he tells us what it (this unjust war) is like for him.

I wish him the best. Any who don't want to see his posts can easily block them.

26. Locking

We hope the situation will calm down now. Please do not start threads discussing it - they do not help.
