Confessions of a TROLL
Yes my friends...I have been sacked...sacked by FR.

My tryst with Freeperland started a month ago...when I decided to test their bounds of acceptance. I didn't really set out for disruption. I just wanted to find some common ground. I managed to last a while...staying away from anything Clinton, or Irasq related no shouting, lots of holding my proverbial.

I gave out my Ole Miss Credentials. And stuck really close to the libertarians they keep around.

Then it all came crashing down...with Wilsongate. I pushed the envelope earlier this week by not admitting that homosexuals were evil evil people. But no...I pointed out that, hey...Rove was a Novak source at one time. Is it so CRAZY to think that he couldn't be the link. I guess that was the final straw.

I've defended gays. Savaged Arnold. Praised the Yankees. and suggeted that the Muslim guy on the street corner doesn't want to murder you in your sleep. But what took the cake was...

Senior Administration Official MEANS White House. Now way, you say? It's true. I'd bet dollars to donuts that the Administration isn't NASA. Well they've expunged all records regarding my heresy. If they had black Sharpies they'd have used them.

Congratulations, *snicker* Free *snicker* Republic. Ya got me. Now you can rationalize selling out your principles to a liberal Hollywood Actor without as much difficulty. I can now devote my precious internet at work time to the DU.

And for the DU interested, I can direct you to the Presidential Prayer Team.

1. What fun. I've spent a couple afternoons there
Edited on Tue Sep-30-03 07:34 PM by gristy
in the past month and gotten into some pretty good arguments. They haven't kicked me off yet. I kind of left in the middle of the last argument, so I'm a little nervous to check back...

3. I used to be nervous too...
but I usually won my arguments...with the help of the libertarians over there.

Who'da thunk that Robert Novak and Karl Rove were THE sacred cows?

2. Hotty Toddy!
You lasted longer than most liberals do over there. Every time I've seen one they get zotted almost immediately. Good job!

17. But Bob Khayat has really worked to change the school's image...
and as of now he is trying to get rid of Colonel Reb (because of the Old South implications), which is going over like a led zep in Oxford.

20. It seemed like that was the Old Establishment that was against it.
The students for the most part seemed to to want to put all of that stuff behind them.

23. Exactly...
That's what I read...the old-school alumni is not wanting to change...sad, that they would allow their alma mater to wallow in the past.

Alumni are powerful people...the power of the dollar. Hope that Khayat will last at Ole Miss. I don't know him, but I am very good friends with his sister, and they are really good, progressive folks.

Ole Miss will lose out of Khayat goes...

8. Class of 98.
The trick to buying cold beer without leaving the county (where they don't card) is to buy it at the REBEL BARN in Winter.

19. I am no fan of Favre...
But I taught Micky D'Angelo, if that counts for sports fans.

D'Angelo is the current sidelined quarterback for the Eagles...he got a bad concussion and has been benched for awhile.

Wow! You have made the circuit, haven't you!

4. I don't know how people do it
Besides the politcal differences, Free Republic's message board software is horrendous. I tried lurking there, but it's impossible to follow the flow of a thread.

13. why thank you...
All my posts that were relevant (they kept the pro-Yankee ones) were summarily deletd. My favorite was the one that disappeared was the one that shat all over them for not sticking to their principles by voting for a 'Liberal Hollywood Socialist' and slitting the throat of anyone who wasnt a movie star.

They're nervous over there. ANY sign of dissent is investigated. If a poster hasnt been a part of FR for years and you don't agree with the talking points...you will be...De-Rezzed (for those fans of TRON).

The independents and the libertarians call them on their crap, but they don't last too long either.

12. I got kicked off
for arguing with an ultra hard core Israeli supporter (a member of the Zionist organization of America) about the merits for the road map. He wanted it to fail. He denied any Israeli responsibility in the failure as well, and I tried to show him it takes two to Tango. He was very ignorant.
I also got into quite a few discussions over Free trade
