Thank you for the welcome.
Please forgive me for being grouchier than usual because of the tone of some of the replies I've gotten so far.
Also, I'm anticipating that these limited length posts (at least I think that they are limited) are going to be a bear with respect the amount of historical material that I would like to reference.
I don't know what you mean by "limited length posts" but this thread will continue for as long as people stay interested and offer responses or post new information, links, etc. In any event, all threads are archived and remain available to freepers.
This is a good topic, and it is one which has been discussed often (and passionately) here at Free Republic for years. By the way, as far as I can tell the vast majority of freepers would love to see the athiest Democrat scumbags of the ACLU thoroughly disavowed and defunded by Congress.
FR does not length-limit, to my knowledge -- I've seen pages and pages of material included in individual comments, as well as very lengthy posts, as long as the source doesn't require severe excerpting (in which case that's not FR's doing). So unless you're trying to include the NYC phone book, I think you'll do okay. Granted, there might be tricks to accomplishing those long posts that aren't obvious; I don't think I've stressed the system myself before so I haven't run into a problem and had to solve it.
"I'm anticipating that these limited length posts"
Your post may be as long as you would like. But just remember, as in conversation or delivering a speech, most people have very short attention spans unless you are ...
What the hell was I posting about, again?
If this has been discussed at length before, I missed it & I've been lurking for years. I'm very glad you brought it up again.
Don't let the skeptics or dissenters get to you. But if you cannot take being kicked around you won't like it here.
Nothing is sufficiently rational, truthful or well-intended that it will not raise many hostile responses.
