If being the good guy means standing still while someone punches your lights out..NO THANKS. While it’s not right to attack the children of politicians........the left places no limitations on their speach no matter how hate filled.
The libs only get OUTRAGED at others when they dare say something offensive.........Don’t start censoring FR to please the libs! It will just encourage the left. Next time it will be an comment on Obama then it will be any comment against the Left’s policies......
Free Speach is either completely free or it’s not free at all! Kind of like Free Will...If you have one limitation on Free Will it’s not COMPLETLY FREE!
Don’t allow the LEFT to dictate the “RULES” of FREE SPEACH. Because they will NEVER follow the rules they set up for others....They only set them up to limit others FREEDOMS.
“If being the good guy means standing still while someone punches your lights out..NO THANKS.”
It doesn’t mean “standing still”, it means standing up, even if it is among your own peers when something is wrong.
You said, in part:
“Don’t start censoring FR to please the libs! It will just encourage the left...
Don’t allow the LEFT to dictate the “RULES” of FREE SPEACH...”
My response:
I am not letting the left dictate my speech. This is a conservative forum, and we ourselves adhere to certain standards.
I associate with conservatives largely because I believe they adhere to certain values which I hold dear. There are compelling reasons I affiliate with Free Republic and not DU.
Those values, and common decency, dictate my speech, not the left. Common decency requires that all children of politicians should be off limits. They do not become acceptable targets just because some children of our own have been attacked.
We do not need to adopt the hateful gutter tactics of the libs to make our point. We make our point when, by actions and speech, we make it clear we hold to higher standards.
Being the good guy does not mean not fighting back. It means not being a monster when you fight back. If someone shoots your children, it makes sense that you'd want to get them in retaliation but it would make no sense to kill their innocent children just because they shot yours. At that point, you become a monster just like them.
