FreeRepublic censorship?

Taxes are voluntary in the Constitution. The government doesn’t even have any business knowing how much you make.

Lesson over. I am turning in.

[parsifal]

That would be whichever Amendment said we are guaranteed the right to a Libertarian form of government. No 10?

parsy, who is sleepy

I suggest you try Topix.com
That is a site that is a free-for-all cesspool of everything from ultra conservative to radical Marxist Obots.
Many post on there will surely get your blood boiling.

[parsifal]

LOL! Don’t start! They’ll be all over it. Like the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, they’ll all turn toward it, start pointing, and making weird, keening noises.

Do the letters “GFY” mean anything to you?

50mm, darkwing...the floor is yours.

[ImperialistDaddy]

Actually it is not an amendment. It is in the original Constitution. Why you think that anyone who is in line with the founding fathers is a Libertarian pro-abort, pro-legalization of drugs is beyond me?

So - to answer your question about WHY your post was "censored" - have a look at THIS PAGE from that site ....

Truthers? You are posting links to a Truther Site?

Taxes are voluntary in the Constitution..

Ah - which Part says that again?

Such vehemence for a tad of criticism is not entirely civil

Perhaps, but whoever said it was? Sometimes smacking down whiners is just plain fun.

And to come on here whining about how others permit you to utilize their private property isn't entirely conservative. Maybe JimRob would like to have back the part of his paycheck you appropriated for your soapbox, that is actually his right under the constitution.

Consider for a moment that those who have been here a lot longer than you may have good reason for holding views which you may not immediately agree with. Suffice to say that some ideas which are new and exciting to you are old and boring and idiotic to others - that's not a slam against you, just a reminder that perhaps you should listen to your virtual elders instead of going out of your way to dis them.

This is Jim Robinson's home, and some topics (and sources thereof) are not welcome in his home - that's not censorship, that's private property rights. You are free to discuss the topic on your own website.

Freedom of the press does not include the irrefusable right to use someone else's press.

Experience. I have found that many discontented conservatives are really more libertarian than conservative, and that the stuff we ain’t going far enough on for their liking, is like all economic libertarian stuff that has been snuck in on the GOP and conservative by LICE (Libertarians Infiltrating Conservative Entities)

parsy, who assumes sometimes

[An.American.Expatriate]

Actually it is not an amendment. It is in the original Constitution.

Oh, you are one of THOSE conservatives that only thinks that the ORIGINAL constitution is valid...

I guess the following was not a part of the original constitution either:

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

Hmmm...Maybe I overestimated the intelligence of this lot. Post one thing to rock the boat and the whole ship stops sailing. One word said to so much as trouble the waters of this ocean, and everyone comes with complaints against my post. GFY? Well, that’s not the subject of your business if I do.

[ImperialistDaddy]

My elders?

Pfft...

I am not a young man, and for you to consider me to need to listen to anyone here from what I’ve seen of the vehement replies is just plain stupid.

I suggest you listen to yourself.

[TigersEye]

I can’t believe I lowered myself to make an appeal to anyone about this here that were not given the same attention to reasons why they felt the way they did.

Can you put that sentence into English?

OMG, it's the return of:

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Oh brother, call a whambulance.

Some of us, sometimes browse that left-wing site which starts with “duh” to keep up with what the communists are thinking.

When the marxists refer to their political opposition, they invariably refer to one site, and one site only: Free Republic.

This site is special. It’s also very symbolic, and a lot of socialists would like to find some reason to attack it.

You signed up a couple months ago, and want to post from a “truther” site, and then decide what should and should not be posted on this site?

Who appointed you boss? What’s more conservative, than ownership?

Jim Thompson owns and operates this site.

He makes the rules.

Don’t like it? Then be as conservative as you claim, and start a competing site.

PS: what do you think about Mitt Romney? ;)

[ImperialistDaddy]

So, with that I will leave you with Club GOP. The replies are insulting, not at all about discussion. I recognize Johnny boy has the right to be a better conservative than me, so let him be. I also noticed my comments are being moderated after my post. I am not going to stick around this place if all I am going to get is one track to conservatism. My view of conservatism is much bigger than the GOP or the United States federal government. America is a pathetic model of conservatism, and this is a pathetic dialogue.

Good night all!

Oh, really? I think you're a liar.
