FreeRepublic censorship?

I am a bit bothered by this repeated encounter with censorship on your site. This is the second time that I have encountered censorship on your site. The first time was when I was removed from being allowed to post for expressing that FOX News does not represent true conservatism, and it doesn’t.

John Robinson sent me one kind email saying that the reason was that they typically get trolls and identify them for attacking FOX News. The second email that came from John immediately after was that he wished me the best of luck if I tried to expose the censorship on FreeRepublic against conservatives that apparently exists if you do not bow to the current politicians in power and owe your loyalty to the now less than conservative Republican party. That was rather rude, but I did not pay it much mind.

Today I was surfing and came across a site I do not agree with on all levels, but tried to make a post about some revealing facts that presented on their site about the perversity of Disney.

What was the result of my trying to make this post?

I got a message saying the source was not welcome on FreeRepublic.

As a conservative who would put any average Republican to shame with my traditional values and economic view that makes Reagan look like a two-bit haircut in a black and white movie, I would love to hear why this one is censored. And, as I told John, I can easily take these issues straight to conservatives who do not feel that Club GOP represents conservatism on the Internet with my web development skills.

Here is what I tried to post

I also just noticed that your site has made it impossible to highlight text in fields for posting in trying to copy and paste this link. On the one hand, I do believe in driving out stupidity from the Internet. On the other hand, I believe that only liberal leftist propaganda need be removed. I am beginning to wonder what makes FreeRepublic think that one conservative is acceptable rather than another. I think that conservatives like me would be interested to know the limitations you have obviously coded into publication on your site.

As I said, I do not agree with everything I read on the site I tried to link, but they did a very good job of exposing Disney on the link above.

Think about it.

So, did you check the page link from you source that I posted?

Still think they are a reputable source?

Who or what is Mitt? And more importantly, why should I think about him?

Just a small taste of the wonderful facts from your source:

Many people (including Christians) find the occult nature of the New World Order difficult to grasp, because they have never taken the first step to learn the truth; therefore, things like what I'm about to share with you is so freakish that they can't deal with its reality. After the 911 attacks, a memorial was built at ground zero. Watch the following video and you'll see the all-seeing Eye of Horus being formed. The Illuminati not only killed our family and friends in the 911 attacks, but they mock us, sticking it in our faces.

Lol. :)

It’s funny, wonder how many FReepers when they heard about Mitt’s encounter with the guy on the plane, wondered which FReeper it was?

He’s probably a good guy, and his heart is probably in the right place. But his “mittens” use the most dispicable tactics, and most likely are the reason 0 is president right now. He had best get on the team, if he expects to get anywhere next time around.

>>>FOX News does not represent true conservatism, and it doesn’t.

Nor should it. Their mission statement as a NEWS source is Fair and Balanced. That’s all I need from a news network. Then I’ll decide for myself. They are and always have been “conservative” only in relation to the leftward tilt of the primary networks.

Attacking Fox for not being conservative is as dumbass as DU attacking Fox for being too conservative.

>>>And, nobody posts the “I’m a Lumberjack” song video.

Will you settle for an award winning battle song to wake you.

LOL! I much prefer to listen to this as a war song:

KMFDM - Unfit

And the lyrics:

KMFDM - Lyrics to Unfit

KMFDM means translates "Kein Mehrheit Furh Die Mitleid" or "No Pity for the Majority"

I don't think I'll be returning to FR after the rude responses I got on this thread. I am sick of Democrats and Republicans and the world of sheep that I've been born in and that blindly follow stupidity. I think I'll just grab a beer and watch God kill them all and sort them and out.

Fox New doesn’t advertise itself as such so what are you saying? Who are you mad at?

In a way, you seem very Marxist. Maybe you should write a book titled, ‘True and Scientific Conservativism’.

Uh, does Marxism promote taxes as low as they can be and free enterprise and a government that minds its own business? No, Marxism is actually defined as the belief in a classless society.

There, new tagline. Now you can go.

Pretty much the only censorship I see is for comments similar to those at the DUmp, full of monosyllabic obscenities.

Anything else I’m sure is done because of vague facts or possibly misrepresentation.

I do not want FR to be the castle that where the Pied Piper comes to and sings his mesmerizing song that pulls you along to elsewhere.

If I had your mouth and your ears, I’d have to other cut my tongue out or cut my ears off to keep from hearing myself. Enjoy hearing only yourself anyway. That’s all you will get here.
