Calling FR an anti-Mormon website, and then citing Quix as an example of a freeper who got along across the spectrum is a bit crazy.
There was no more anti-Catholic poster than Quix....if vociferous, endless attacks on Catholic theology as the spawn of Satan himself can be called "anti-Catholic". That appears to be the definition used to define anti-Mormonism (which is also included by some with so-called "anti-Mormon" threads.)
Quix, bless his soul, is a devout charismatic of some stripe, and that's fine, but regarding his anti-catholic stance, it's simply a matter of searching his name and "catholic" or "catholicism" or some similar search word, and you'll see what I mean.
Let me point out that I am not a Catholic, but I do join in defending them when they are unjustly ganged up on. I remember Quix alerting everyone to my having backslid once when I defended Christian unity regarding Catholics. Perhaps others remember that as well.
At other times, Quix has been among the nicest people one could ever hope to meet.
What's the point?
That this screed by the author of this piece is not about religion. It's really about killing Free Republic by injuring their fund-raising.
Who would want that?
Any power-brokers upset that there are dissenters speaking the truth about Mitt Romney.
Dear, Sean Hannity: Romney is a liberal. We are conservatives. We're not getting on board. WE are the rebellion. WE are the resistance.

Mutiny! Mutiny! Mutiny!

My husband has a first cousin who is a Nun, she refers to herself as a charismatic Catholic, I wonder what quicks would think of that.
I have read much praise about him on FR, personally I never was on the receiving end of any grace whatsoever.
Oh, well he has found a home, he is comfortable where he is now - for the time being anyway.
Never before has America been threatened from within as it is now. We can’t go home and ignore any longer that America is under attack from enemies domestic.
I think you like gays and that is why you are defending a puke like dengar01.
LMAO!!!! I want a shirt that says that!
I can verify that. But Bobj is a moron and everyone knows it.
I can also verify that despite your protestations about how "there IS NO FREE SPEECH ON FR (cause it's private property)", you, wolfcreek, don't really give a damn about your posting privileges in this forum and are currently looking for someone who shares your vision of posting some duel-moronic opus that no one but you and your fellow TrueBlueWhiners will care about.
If you dislike FR so much, why not just leave?
I get emotional when I see how this country is being turned upside down. Its good to see you stand strong on your principles and beliefs because people like me are looking for someone to set things straight. I don’t want things sugar coated or have things spun to the point where good looks bad and bad looks good. You tell it like it is and that’s the way it should be. God bless you Jim Robinson!
Thanks for the link!
Calling FR an "Anti-Mormon" site is crazy since the Mormons are just as free to post their stuff as Protestants or Catholics. The problem however is that if you post Pro-(Your Religion Here) stuff, you'd better be prepared to defend your theology or history or teachings because what we do here is have a free and open discussion of all religions.
There was a time when Free Republic was accused of being an Anti-Catholic site. When Catholic teachings were put under the microscope a lot of Catholics ran from the site accusing Jim Rob of being supportive of anti-Catholics. But then the Catholics fought back and I dare say that if anything, Free Republic has become the most Catholic Friendly forum on the internet. I still engage in some banter with the Catholics over doctrine and stuff but these days they give as good as they get.
The Mormons who have run from the site and claim that Free Republic is now an Anti-Mormon site just can't stand the heat, so they have left the kitchen. Such is the way of free expression on Free Republic.
Quix was a bit of an enigma. I have no clue as to why he went off the deep end and decided to push Jim Robinson's buttons and basically accuse him of being a capitalist and then condemn him for it. Anyone that says that Quix got along with people from all over the political spectrum obviously didn't know Quix. He was an interesting addition to this forum. Too bad he chose to pick a fight over nothing. I just don't understand why he went off as he did, but he's gone now. RIP Quix. It was fun while it lasted.
The acid test for all the "Conservative Talk Radio Hosts" is coming up on July 17th. That's when Sheriff Joe has another Presser about the document issues.
I await with bated breath the first "Conservative Host" who even dares to mention it, never mind opine on it. What's the Sheriff talking about, Sean? Rush? Mike? Mark? I'll buy a gold bar and a Sleep Number bed from the first one of you who breaks the story.
In all fairness to Hairdo Hannity, there is a guy out there who makes him look smarter, at least by comparison: No Schnitt.

We love that song.
Thanks very much, dearest Jim.
LOL.
BTTT
Yes. What the heck is wrong with being 70? It sure beats the alternative. Besides, as usual, Mr. Dengar01 was exaggerating. Onyx is not nearly 70.
