As I'm foolish, I can't for the life of me figure out how to post this elsewhere. I do think that no content on F.R.(other than that which is extremely obscene) should be censored. The most feckless among the numerous Conservatives here should be able to easily refute the most intellectualy argued Liberal pap. And by allowing Liberal views it only trains us to strengthen our position.I have almost reached my F.R. 5th anniversary and to date the fact that all information is not allowed troubles me.Expose the stupidity at it's base is my philosophy. God Bless Texas(LOL) and I'm sorry if this posted in the wrong area!
It disgusts you?
Interesting......
Remember, this is JimRob's board and whatever he wants to put on there is his deal.....

You wanted unlimited trolls disrupting the board during such FR moments of glory as Rathergate and the 2000 election?
I like FR the way it is. Jim is doing a good job of keeping FR interesting and informative.
I don't want to have to wade through a bunch of "liberal" silliness. I don't want this to become a pissin' match.
Statement by the founder of Free Republic:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.
May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.
Jim Robinson
LOL!!!
Oh, and btw, you are FREE to leave FR at any time. There are lots of places on the Internet where you can engage in more combative conversation. You'd probably be happier elsewhere.
"I do think that no content on F.R.(other than that which is extremely obscene) should be censored. "
Really?
So if I post a United Auto Workers "Arise Ye Russian People" socialist screed, that should be okay?
No dice dude.
Go back to DU.
Tell them you failed.
In Before The Zot!
If you are a true conservative, go start your own Internet forum using the method you advocate. Then come back and let us know how it goes.
Until then, stop telling a free citizen of the United States of America how he has to run his privately owned website.
And if any of us don't like it, we are entirely free to start our own forum. The right of freedom of speech does not require a compulsory audience.
Me I like the rules if you abide by them you can post anything you wish as long is it isn't racist or pornographic.
You can be as stupid as you wish, don't like it form your own site.
Did you Judge Roberts wants to shut down this site, case it doesn't toe the bush line, that he is the great savior of el supremo court.
Is this an opus?
Allowing liberals to post here will not bring educational debate; rather it'll become, as others have put it, a pissing match. There would be the occasional exception to the rule (a liberal wanting a real serious debate) but most would come here just to type in obscenities and bash us over the head. Besides, don't take online forums that seriously. I've been here a short while and this forum stuff getting old anyways. Occasional posts are all I can stand now without feeling like I'm wasting my time on a computer. Have fun, preach to the choir here, and go somewhere else for debate against liberals. You'll quickly see how futile it is.
