But then an Anon commenter noted IbJensen was picking a fight with Jim Robinson over some article of his being denies. Don't get the zot, Ib!
IbJensen demands compensation for his donation!
I'm not bragging, but I do give MY fair share to the operation of this website. Treating those who were under the mistaken idea that they belonged to something is merely misty fairy tale stuff.IbJensen explains how he's too old to deal with anyone else.
This action was totally uncalled for!
At my age and experience it’s long past time for those like me to be treated like sophomoric college students. I was a professor and know from decades of experience there’s a right way and wrong way to ‘enforce’ rules, even though they may be groundless.IbJensen then goes a little weird:
Perhaps Conservative old history professors should indeed refrain from posting and contributing to on a site like this. And perhaps I have nothing more to contribute other than writing historical novels and pieces for magazines and book publishers which I do. I am, therefore, out of my league here and being much older than most of you here have developed over the decades a thinner skin when it comes to faceless criticism. However, I have the hide of a father gorilla when it comes to roaring and railing against the consistent sins of the evil left that threatens our very existence.
I do wonder how many more FReepers there are that are like me in that they’re older, more studious than many and need a place where their work will be read and appreciated and what they see and believe important, one way or the other, I must now admidt that’s where I belong.
So I say, Zot me, but I will get back the last payment I made towards running Free Republic.
The one thing that drew and kept me here was that John Robinson has exactly the same slant that I have on what’s happening to America.
I bid you all a very fond adieu
Pull my personal information now!IbJensen is maybe drinking?
You did good. I hope it wasn’t too late.IbJensen's episode continues:
Please now pull the entire posting.RetiredNavy then calls IbJensen a Communist: Mods,
Please keep this posting in place.Never fear, though - IbJensen's profile now says:
It is a perfect example of an entitled mentality demanding special treatment. Why? Because he exists and the rest of us are required to bow to his will. Not sure if this is fascism, socialism, or communism. I'll have to review definitions. I would guess fascism at this point
I am now at peace with the website's admin moderators. They do, indeed, possess a sense of humor. I do wish a feature 'Meet The Moderators' would be forthcoming as then they wouldn't appear as faceless censors.
Skip the white.
ReplyDeleteBut yes - old people should be the only ones allowed to vote. That is something I can totally get behind. As long as the minimum age for compulsory military service is the same as the voting age.
...the evil left that threatens our very existence.
ReplyDeleteI got a good chuckle out of that one.
Threatens their very existence? I thought we were incompetent. They're not much of a match, in that case.
DeleteI'm glad I amuse you so. It warms my heart.
DeleteRetired Navy had IbJensen pegged pretty well.
ReplyDeleteEntitled, academic, sense of superiority ...
much like our own euphgeek here.
Projection much?
DeleteFag.
ReplyDeleteWhatever, dude.
DeleteSheesh. The guy has a name thet is akin to "John Smith" in my country. (Yes, gay. And yes, socialist) But it's pretty fucking funny that he lays down on the street and freeps, because RimJob. Now, THAT'S Freeper Madness!
ReplyDeleteOh, and Ozy. You've probably sen this before but. well.For a moment, imagine the House That Jim Robinson Built as an old and decrepit rancher built back in the 1950s with peeling vinyl siding and droopy gutters. The lawn seems manicured to a tee, until you run across the various weeds that've been cut down instead of uprooted. Rusted burn barrels and car doors litter the backyard. The backyard itself is bare in most spots and littered with brass casings. A half-finished bunker is out there somewhere, but you dare not climb over the fence to look for it. Parked nearby are various full-size American trucks in various states of disrepair. Out front near the garage is a newish Toyota with a huge American flag screenprint on the window and a "Don't You loving Re-Nig" sticker on the bumper. The windows are either boarded up or simply covered in dust, dirt and grime.
ReplyDeleteYou reach the front door and eye the sign informing you of your impending demise if you're black, Mexican, gay or a Democrat supporter. Open the door and you're confronted by a noxious stench that incapacitates people from the next county over. It's a hoarder's paradise. You brush past tall stacks of years old newspapers, gun magazines and printed emails featuring cartoons poking fun at Bill Clinton and Al Gore. You clamber over mountains of sweat and poo poo-stained clothes. You step gingerly over piss puddles, rotted food, empty Viagra and Cialis bottles and cat poo poo. Lots and lots of cat poo poo. There are empty dog food cans littered all over the place, but no dog. Ol' Nagger's been dead for years now.
The kitchen has stack after stack of dishes piled up, all dirty and unwashed since 1999. The fridge does not work. Of course it doesn't work. Part of a skinned deer carcass stands in the corner, rotten and maggot ridden. You pass another room that's filled with guns, laid out carefully on a nearby bed. The guns are well taken care of and there's stack after stack of ammo in the corner, with more out back in a shed.
You approach the bedroom located at the back of the house. Hunched over a Gateway 2000 desktop is a FReeper, personified as a morbidly obese man. An old USMC cap covers his shaved head and a well-worn inhaler administers medication for his severe asthma. The room is enveloped in a foul cascade of poo poo, sweat, pit odor and failure. A nearby printer slowly pounds out an image of Michelle Obama in a mammy outfit and Barack Obama in a butler suit, both serving a perky-titted Sarah Palin and a massively corpulent Rush Limbaugh. The ghost of Ronald Reagan looks on with approval while an American eagle sheds a single tear. You can barely see the Free Republic board through the green-tinted CRT monitor. You notice something on the man's plate. It vaguely looks like...dog food?
You quietly back away from the horrors in front of you, only to trip over an ill-placed copy of "Guns and Ammo" and land face first into a puddle of goddamned cat piss. You rouse the FReeper. He's pissed. He picks up something, but that something isn't one of the many guns in his collection. No, it's two dead cats, each fitted with...viking helmets? He starts swinging wildly. You clamber over the magazines, the rank clothes, the old newspapers, desperate to find a way out of this miserable hell. You reach the door and it's...locked? You turn around and it's just you, the FReeper and the makeshift dead cat nun-chucks he dubs the "Viking Kitties..."
You lost me at "You reach the front door." Any place that looked like that from the outside would make me just keep on walking by.
DeleteFairly accurate description, except for the freeper being a morbidly obese ex-USMC guy.
ReplyDeleteThe house and yard sounds very much like DJMacWoW has described where she lives, along with her obesity and smell.
There is some bullshit post about Hillary today. Old Sarge goes off on a tear.
ReplyDelete"She Who Must Not Be Named is the most ruthless and incompetent woman ever to stalk the halls of power. Never forget that She is a student and disciple of Saul Alinsky. She has used the Rules for Radicals extensively in clawing Her way to the top.
Her ultimate goal has always been the Oval Office. Her boast of being "Co-President" was not idle hubris. When Her legal career was thwarted after Watergate, She married into power, using William the Impeached as a stepping stone.
She then used the NY Senate seat as another springboard to power but was foiled again, this time by the intimidation tactics of the Chicago Machine, who had already chosen Odinga to carry the party banner.
Examine Her personality. She has the need to dominate. It's not enough that people obey Her commands; they must be forced to obey against their will, or the needed gratification is not derived.
She is a compulsive liar. She is a consummate fraud. She is most likely a lesbian with a deep-seeded hatred of the men who, in Her mind, deny Her her rightful place in history. Never again must She be allowed to approach the levers of authority, for that day will spell the doom of the Republic."

Freepers are just so... dramatic. LOL.
Never again must She be allowed to approach the levers of authority, for that day will spell the doom of the Republic."
DeleteWould that be the same doom of the Republic that Obama has been spelling at least three times a week for the last few years? The Republic seems to have as many lives as a cartoon cat...brain it with an anvil, flatten it with a steamroller, blow it up with dynamite, and it's back up and ready for more doom five seconds later.
I am LOLing at your comment. Literally.
DeleteHow have I never done a spotlight on that 19th Amendment hating old buzzard?
ReplyDeleteBeen pretty far left all my life, but I'd never even heard of Alinsky until some 'bagger accused me of being his disciple. And I still haven't read "RFR."
ReplyDeleteI love how these obsessive weirdos think we're all taking our marching orders from this basically marginal figure who died in 1972.
That said, I do like this quote from Alinsky:
One of the most important things in life is what Judge Learned Hand described as 'that ever-gnawing inner doubt as to whether you're right.' If you don't have that, if you think you've got an inside track to absolute truth, you become doctrinaire, humorless and intellectually constipated. The greatest crimes in history have been perpetrated by such religious and political and racial fanatics, from the persecutions of the Inquisition on down to Communist purges and Nazi genocide.
Sounds reasonable to me. No wonder the FReepers hate him.
Being accused of "Alinsky tactics" basically translates to "stop laughing at my ridiculous ideas!" Alinsky wrote that "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon," so any time they get ridiculed, they jump straight to "Alinsky!" accusations.
DeleteIt kind of brings to mind another quote: "They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright Brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown." --Carl Sagan
Alinsky is the right's new "bogeyman".
DeleteEven they know their references to "Stalin" and "Fidel" and even "Che" pretty much fall on deaf ears to anyone under 50 yo.
The funny part is that "Alinsky tactics" are pretty much employed by all political activists, left and right.
Thanks for posting here to reassure us lefties that it's never a waste of time to oppose hate.
