Now hear this:

Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.

That is all.


The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!



If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

What kind of crap is that? The government is not allowed nor does it have the authority to limit speech unless certain criteria are met. And they ain't been met!

The veto would have been overridden, but you already knew that, but decide to blame the President anyway, instead of the impetus of CFR, mccain and the liberal media that props him up.

You're smoking something really stupid if you a.)believe that a veto of CFR would have been overridden and b.)believe that the President is not complicit in signing this unconstitutional atrocity into law.

How many of the Supreme judges would you guesstimate--of all supposed . . . 'liberal,' 'conservative,' 'moderate' persuasions

have been chosen by the puppet masters and will . . . in the crunch do their bidding regardless of the case; regardless of anything else.

Or else . . . they'll be . . . replaced.
