A private organization is allowed to let anyway they want into their organization and not allow anyone they don’t want. We are not the government. I suppose using your logic the Boy Scouts should be required to allow homosexuals into their organization.

You posting point has nothing to do with what I was stating or asking of jveritas.

Sure, any forum or organization has a right to do as they wish, but, in the specific case of Free Republic, it's not just any organization. It is a conservative forum, owned and run by a conservative.

However, my point is that, if the forum were to be run with only strictly conservative members and only with strictly conservative opinion, that the forum would cease to be one of the most visited forums on the internet, and the membership would dwindle to a small fraction of what it is currently.

If a forum only accepts opinions that echo everyone else's opinion in the forum, then, why even bother to post or reply to posts? Heck, why ever be a member?
