Read it and weep.

[CounterCounterCulture]

This internet thingy was a passing fad anyhoo.

[BOBWADE]

Is this a serious post? I did not think you were endorsing any candidates, only offering a forum for discussion of ideas and such. How would CFR apply to you?

[Fawnn]

I imagine this has to do with http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1602097/posts , right? (We can't have anymore pesky uncovering of forged documents so close to an election! Why that would just disrupt "every sensible person"'s intentions!) ;)

[SevenofNine]

Does that mean we going riot like the French trust me LA Folks like me we know how to riot LOL!

[I got the rope]

Why are you busting balls Jim?

[Antoninus]

Why is anyone surprised? The Republic as we knew it ceased to exist sometime in the last 40 years. We now have a federal court system that has declared sodomy a civil right, but thinks that limits on the rights of political speech are A-OK.

Are any of you other frogs noticing that the water is getting a tad hot?

[calljack]

Thank you Radar

Everyone is making cute little jokes, no one has even started any grass roots activities. This will be the future of the first amendment if you don't get involved. This is what Freepers do best, or at least used to. Start by contacting your reps and senators.

Maybe one of those times is coming again...

Will there be withdrawal clinics set up?

[Plutarch]

Free Republic will have to be pried away from my cold, dead, hands.

Sort of like Charlton Heston's rifle.

For a disaster of these proportions, will the government be handing out doses of FReepadone ... and debit cards so we can shop when we would have been FReeping?

[Nowhere Man]

Ah, is this a joke, right, please tell me it is.

Personally, I'd keep the site up and I'd tell McCain to stuff it where the sun don't shine and if he gave me any guff, he's so much of a wimp I'd turn my almost 19 year old calico cat on him and she'd kick his butt to be sure.

Still though, me here in Penna, it is easy to say. I got an idea, I'm a big believer in buying American and moving things offshore is terrible and hurts America. However, if this is true, maybe you can host the site offshore. I know there is a small "micronation" off of the UK called "Sealand" where a guy took over an abandoned oil platform and declared his own country in the 1970's, I heard that it how has servers on it hosting websites and so on. So maybe a non-US host would be the way to go to beat McCain.

Jim, you can't be fair dinkum! What's going on?

[Enterprise]

"Out of my cold dead hands!"

[Blowtorch]

I can't believe this. I'd rather read FR and not weep.

[me-here]

I'm still new here!

I didn't think a thread could move that fast!

[justshutupandtakeit]

Since when is FR endorsing candidates or parties?

[NonValueAdded]

Holy moly! If we shut down, the terrorists McLame wins, not to mention his censure-prone sidekick. Surely there must be another way.

[Danae]

Kiss my cheesy white Arse Johnny! You bloody damned RINO! Thanks a LOT for the 527's you arsehole!!!!!!
