I read your post and understand that you are angry about something that happened here.
Could you tell us what it was?

"Jim Rob's blend of conservatism and use as advocacy of George W. Bush to insure that the right thinkers who know how to follow orders stay on board builds an obedience and cohesion to central authority. He wishes to create an entity that can influence people like Bush to fall into sync with his goals by offering an effective vehicle to mobilize and control people on the grass roots level as he has proved to people like the President that he indeed can do things like galvanize and grow the Klamath water rights for farmers issue." Uh, no. Its because of picknose liberalism, jackbooted fascist leftism; collectivism uber alles types like you that lead me to want to vote for W.
I don't like W. I don't like generally his big gubbermint stance on just about everything.
But I dislike infantile thumbsucking collectivist types that support the other side even worse. That includes the RATS. And it includes you.
Jim Robinson has nothing to do with my stance.

FR's approach to politics is both populist--in that it seeks to activate "the people" as a whole against perceived oppressors or enemies [see Edwards re. "two Americas" and Democrats generally on class warfare]- and elitist - in that it treats the people's will as embodied in a select group, or often one prime iconic leader whose authority flows downward only [see "smart" Al Gore, "nuanced" John Kerry and other members of the mentally and socially "select" group] . FR, in typical Fascist style seeks to organize a cadre-led mass movement in a drive to seize state power [see moveon.org, Florida vote recount efforts]. It seeks to forcibly subordinate all spheres of society to its ideological vision [see gay marriage, blocking of judicial nominees, insistence of "pc" teaching in public schools] of what a community is [it takes a village], and the end result of their game is totalitarianism, pure and simpleLots of sophisticated language, not much point as far as I could tell. Distressingly high ratio of words to content, but good luck to the author. I agree with your assessment of "drivel," or, as this author might say, "meandering and misguided assessment of sinister underlying political theories cloaked in a linguistic subterfuge."
To: bicycle thug
Typical muddled liberal thinking. Confusing degeneracy with freedom, rights without responsibility.

If this doesn't happen, we will crush the FR and remove it like a malignant tumor before it destroys what we collectively hold dear;...This is a critically important topic, and people have leadership and intuitive skills that can either debunk me, or develop tools to reform FR and make it responsible and ethical as it should be. I don't hate and nurse disdain for the Free Republic, I deeply care and want the best for FReepers. And it hurts deeply and horribly to articulate my thoughts and fears here, as FReepers are indeed special people who do not deserve to be used, and to have bad things happen to them, or to be manipulated to cause bad things to happen to others. Peace, and respect to all.
Consider yourself debunked. Now c'mon back to the forum and let's talk issues.

I printed off three copies of your pathetic, crying rant because I ran out of toilet paper.
In case no one told you, Michael or "ferret" or As*wipe or whatever you're calling yourself today, free speech works both ways: you have a right to spew pablum and I have a right to refuse to listen to it. You have a right to not associate with people who do not share your viewpoints and so do I.
Debate, which happens quite a lot here, revolves around the exchange of contradictory viewpoints, which we all know every bleeding-heart, panty-waisted, tree-hugging, dyed-in-the-wool leftist/Marxist hates, even while they are crying a paean to the "free exchange of ideas". The debte, to them, means simply the free exchange of their own ideas.
Sounds to me like you probably got flamed big time over something and now, with your little ego all bruised, we're all fascists. Good riddence and don't let the door smack you in the backside...
