People have gotten banned for not being bushbots,plain & simple. They had conservative idals, and opposed the presidents policies as too liberal. That's one major reason the post volume on FR has decreased by a third in 2 months.

I know it's a private entity. I understand arguing with mods isn't bright, but to get kicked off a conservative site for espousing conservative ideals is ridiculous.

That is your opinion. I think the mods asked you to prove it, did they not?

Many people who call themselves "CONSERVATIVES" aren't. Many of their positions are hardly conservative. And nobody has EVER gotten banned, here, for "not being a bushbot"; n00b.

You've been here since January of this year and unless you are a damned retread, you aren't the "expert" on all things FR; especially why people get banned.

"...to get kicked off a conservative site for espousing conservative ideals is ridiculous."

But exactly what 'conservative" ideas do you espouse? Looking through your posting history I fail to see any ideas. I see a lot of rants and liberal-sounding claims to be a conservative, but I don't see any coherent thought patterns.

I believe your home page is meant to provide criticism of Free Republic. I find it insulting and demeaning. You seem to be an "agent provocateur". There seems to be the foul stench of decay and burning troll in the air.

Is that your own estimate, or did you read it somewhere? It seems a little high to me. I would have only guessed about a quarter.

If posting volume has decreased it's because of people like you who abuse the privilege of being here.

Stop arguing already. You haven't convinced a soul and you are irking a lot of last nerves.

I am your side as one diappointed with Bush of late but I must confess that folks are not banned here for not being Bushbots.

They are banned or suspended for duking it out with Bushbots. Some of whom are either mods themselves or cozy with them.

It's all a mystery to me to be frank....the clique stuff.

But I do know one thing. Attitudes about Bush around here tend to ebb and flow....from gushing accolades to one upon a time outright contempt.
The same socially moderate suspects rallying around Bush here now on FR were the same ones ready to commit mass exodus over Schiavo here just a little over a year ago.

Stick around if you're able and you'll see what I mean
