what they aren't, or at least shouldn't be able to do in my view, is come into someone elses house and start mouthing off to the guy who owns the place and telling the other invited guests that they're duty bound somehow to support someone who doesn't seem to agree with one single fundamental principle they hold dear.

What about long-time freepers who pay money to help support the site? We're not allowed to voice our opinions anymore, especially if they are dissenting? Or stop posting at all in case someone doesn't like what we wrote and we get banned?

I've seen it happen to a LOT of old-timers in the past couple of days, and it's disturbing.

It's called a "donation". When you give money to a charity, do you show up at that charity and demand they run things your way? If you did, I'll wager they'd toss you out on your ear.

Voice whatever you like. But actions have consequences. As proof I offer the following:

The Dixie Chicks

Don Imus

Not nearly as disturbing as the continued cheeleading for someone who thinks sucking the brains out of a living baby is a Constitutionally protected right.
