I would like to say something which very much needs to be said.
As an old time FReeper, I regard Michael Rivero to be one of the most interesting posters to ever post to Free Republic. I always looked for his threads and valued them greatly as they always challenged me to think a bit harder and deeper about unfolding events, and to question the official truth. Consequently, I regard his banishment and the nuking of his collective contributions to Free Republic to be a tragic loss, not only to this forum, but to our nation -- a nation which needs more than ever to be challenged to question the official "truth" and THINK.
All of you who have joined the mob on this thread in mindlessly attacking Michael Rivero disgust me.
This thread is but another reminder of just how far a once great forum on the cutting-edge of the fight for freedom has fallen. Michael Rivero was a valuable asset in that fight. You of the mindless mob are nothing but liabilities.
Well, of course you haven't been around long enough to know the value of Nita Nupress' comments. She (He?) may be incorrect at times, but there has been as much value over the years (and as little "baloney") from that quarter as from anyone else posting. Enough! Nita Nupress can adequately defend her/herself. This is just a friendly warning that continuing in that vein is tantamount to stepping on your [genitalia].
My problem with you is your headline. "Anti-American", indeed. You gummit trolls seem to think that a suspicion of the behemoth is "anti-American". I submit that suspicion of government is the ONLY American stance. Digesting the government's daily ration of BS unchewed, like your headline implies, is the real anti-American attitude. Don't reply with an argument to me--take it to Jefferson and Madison.
