I’m confused. When did it become FR’s practice to not post anything with which we disagree?

The problem is, Rabs doesn't disagree with it - he has a long history of posting attacks on those he disagrees with from liberal sites - even as he often supports candidates (such as Libertarian Nolan from AZ) who runs counter to conservative positions on issues such as Iraq and the border fence.

And here he is posting from a liberal pundit who is bashing McCain for opposing DADT. I don't find it constructive to bash someone no matter what they do - and there are plenty of legitimate conservative reasons to bash McCain without bashing him when he is actually on the right side of the issue as he was recently with DADT.

OK, now I’m even more confused. You apparently now object not that the article was posted, but rather to the freeper who posted it.

You may be surprised by this, but I seldom look at who posted the article when I read it and (perhaps) respond. What difference does it make who posted it? The article says what it says regardless.

Has libertarianism been expelled from FR when I wasn’t looking? I disagree with much libertarian doctrine, but I’m more than willing to have them as allies on the points on which we agree. Does it make good sense to reject potential allies because we don’t agree with them on everything? If you do so, aren’t you going to wind up with a very small coalition?
