Short vanity - sorry for the rant, but I just tried to post an article to FR that is from a "blocked source". I don't agree with every premise in the article, but feel that it constituted a starting point for a very good discussion. In my humble opinion, FR blocking posts from certain sites based on idealogical biases is counter-productive to a real discussion and examination of issues.
I remember the old Free Republic and it was a little wild and wooly, but it also had a more lively intellectual flavor where dissenting opinions and creativity were allowed. What say you?
OMG that is one long list....GG
I want to melt into your red, red eyes.
Maybe your source denied FR any permission for access to their stories, you never know.
Perhaps because the spell checker spells “prerogative” correctly?
Don’t encourage HuffPost.
I hate seeing it and Daily Kos (and even DemUnderground!)come up on ‘news’ searches and I never click them.
They’re not news sites, Google is subsidizing them with ‘ad clicks’ by pretending they are
What a racket.
“Welcome to Free Republic!
Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!
Jump right in!
Most visitors to Free Republic are attracted to our very popular (and, warning: addictive) conservative news and discussion forum which can be found by clicking here or following any of the forum links in the sidebars.”
This is not an online “debate” society.
We FReepers often have spirited “discussions” with each other on most topics. Have a nice day.
I like pancakes.
I wish FR would block blockheads!
That wasn’t Yasser Arafat, it was his brother Nosser.
I’d have to know what article you were trying to post before I got worked up about it.
Touche!
“Low hanging fruit...”

If it wasn’t clear, mine was meant as a complement. You had the facts!!!
An iPad in a sports bar doesn’t hold up to the scrutiny of the Internet(s) police
I’ve noticed over the years you exhibit a lot of anger, lol. Whatever gets you through the day Revolting Cat!
Well, the fact your posting this means I was, indeed, IBTZ.
I mean, we have to have priorities in life...
Thanks, I was alluding to that. Didn’t even notice until the correction. Some things just seem to elude me.
r/your/you’re/
Well yes, that would be the logical response... :)
