well, Free Republic is a bastion of free speech. but posters demanding shutting down the free speech of others are not. they are ignorant.

Just go away please and may my countrymen not now you.

this is not a coherent sentence.

I say celebrating terrorist attacks to be aiding and abetting the enemy, not free speech.

Therefore the celebrants should be evicted.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Perhaps cdiii meant, "May my countrymen not know you." A spelling error, to be sure, but it hearkenend back to Samuel Adams' address at the First Continental Congress where he said, "May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” It's part of a larger disquistion, of course, which goes like this: “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

That might have been what cdiii meant. If not, my apologies, cdiii.

Free Republic has never been a bastion of free speech, as a legion of users banned over the years for having too-conservative opinions in the face of too many years of Bushes, McCains, and Romneys know well.
