Free Republic

Okay, let's chat, Mods...There seems to be our own version of shadow banning going on here at Free Republic. It's not acceptable on Twitter, and it sure as heck shouldn't be acceptable here of all places.I've noticed several times where topics get mysteriously deleted. Not some -- as a mod might disagree with one -- but the whole slate gets wiped. When topics are deleted, the posts are no longer bumped into categories that people follow -- in other words, shadow banned. A recent example for me was this post:Luke Knox, Florida International University football player and brother of NFL's...

I don't care what these slimebag women say because they are all liars. Gloria Allred is now a political operative. She's scum,too. I'm praying every day that Herman Cain survives these attacks and goes on to become THE REAL 1st Black President of these United States. Don't be fooled by these media attacks. Those country club republicans and the dirty dems are terrified of Herman Cain. Do everything you can to raise hell with you local media & start complaining, start calling your Congress & Senate critters. Herman is the real deal . If you let him down you have...

Here is the why Romney will be the republican nominee and why Perry or Cain or Bachmann will not save the republicans. Romney is moving left on global warming and staying the course on Romneycare and you will see him take his natural left positions on other issues as the campaign gets underway. His goal is to attract as many democrat voters into the republican open primaries as possible to vote for him. Meanwhile , Bachmann has been brought into the race by the establishment as well as Cain who has no idea. Perry is coming in too. This is...

It has been a while since we saw RINO herds in such vast numbers roaming about FR. You're on a Trump thread and have come across a fresh steaming pile of dung that a poster has just dumped on FR, so a refresher course in RINO scatology is in order. How do you tell if it is RINO (Republicanus countryclubbus) dung or some other kind of dung (such as the garden variety from cattle)?"He's not a perfect conservative" - RINO dung. It basically means he is not a conservative at all."You're just a single issue poster" - RINO dung. It...

To all who support Sarah Palin. Please do not support or send money to anyone that rejects her in the future. Do not support the RNC. Send your money to SarahPac. To all of those who don't support Sarah Palin. I am seeing far too many people buy into the idea that she is not ready to be President. My question is this, What more does she have to do to be ready ? She already has excutive experiance. She is a great leader. I see no reason that she could not be a great President. What makes you think...

He's on with Hemmer/Martha and he thinks Palin was out of line using 'cojones' to describe what's needed and what the AZ gov has and Obama doesn't! Rove stinks. And his amnesty push does too.

There seems to be a tactic used by many here and elsewhere to mock Sarah Palin as some kind of messiah figure because she has a lot of fans. This is not only wrong, this is disgusting. Sarah Palin has never presented herself as an Obama type figure that wants to be seen as a savior. She has been polite and decent on the national stage. She has treated people around this country very good in her time on the national stage. Yet, some people talk about her as an object or a piece of trash. We have someone around...

Stay alert to those who are promoting the idea of Sarah Palin to replace Michael Steele at the RNC. This is an attempt to derail her nomination for the Presidency. There are some out there in the conservative blogosphere that believe the MSM line on Sarah Palin. When they promote the idea of her replacing Steele, they are really saying that she shouldn't run for President. We may need to hit the nail hard with the strongest hammer we can find. Stuff her down their throats. But we are going to get her the nomination. She deserves the nomination. And...

It is good to criticize fanaticism, esp. BLIND fanaticism, but be equally weary of the fanatical Palin haters that parade around this site. Regardless of how some mask their true wishes for Palin in "constructive critic" guise, there are plenty of writers and thinkers out there who offer honest critique of Palin while having her and our country's best interests in mind and therefore want her to come out WINNING. Most of the FR trolls who post the latest Palin hit-piece of the day could care less for Palin and take joy everytime she supposedly "falls." To these types, Palin...

I have lost THREE real life friends now in trying to defend Sarah Palin. On one hand I tend to think the people who call her stupid are not the kind of people I even want as friends anyhow. However, I wonder if im being too harsh and going too far. I know our country was divided on President Bush. But the division and the hatred for Sarah Palin has been able to top anything. Before Palin, I had a much more positive outlook on people (especially women, mothers, ect) and life in general. Now I find myself seeing people...

Does anyone else have this problem ? I think I need a break. I thought this was going to be the year we took back congress and things were going to get better. I just don't feel the positive momentum anymore. Sometimes I fear our fate is sealed as a country. I pray something changes. Obama pushed healthcare through. I felt like we were united against it. And he still pushed it through. I don't know if we fell short or he simply outlasted us. I just want something to go our way. I wake up on some mornings and...

I am from Ohio so I don't really have a dog in this fight. But over the last couple of days. The situation in California has divided the Republican Party nationally. There is a lot of in-fighting. A lot of people who are fighting. Sarah Palin is being attacked for no good reason. I think the solution is simple. You are not going to win the nomination. Put out the fire, fold up the tent and support the best of the last remaining two candidates. With you on the ballot, the only possible roll you have is spoiler. So please,...

I am noticing an increasing number of anti Palin comments among Republicans. I think this is a good time to filter the trash out of our party. We Republicans tend to tip toe through the tulips. But if we want to get our party back, we need to do it now. As much as I dislike Obama. and many of us mocked his "get in their faces quote". I want to ask you. How did we dominate the healthcare debate in August ? We stood up and got in their faces. It worked. You can do this without being violent,...

Many FReepers are skeptical of Romney's conservative credentials. They don't like his past positions on abortion, healthcare, and gay marriage. They feel his rightward shift on social issues to be less than sincere. Many conservatives are angered by the Left's attempts to character assassinate Palin thru silly ethics complaints. They have made Palin's administration and family into side shows. The ethics complaints have driven her to be $500,000 in debt. This situation might provide an opening for Romney to gain Palin's support. Romney could step in to pay off Palin's legal debt. He then could make a speech about how...

Nothing follows.

This is obviously not a BIG issue considering all that's going on in the world. Still, with all that Obama is concerned with his image, I'd think he could hire a photographer who had a better eye. The portrait looks like one made by an amateur using photoshop! The composition is terrible. With the dog's head so close to the strong horizon line, it's painful to look at. The depth of field is awful. Who in their right mind would put this photograph out on purpose?

I like pie.

Wondering how all the anti-Republican "I'm not gonna vote for McCain" folks think about about what they got? What do these same . . . true believers . . . believe is in store for us during the mid-term elections?
