Only the government can censor. You do not have an unlimted right to free speech on Jim's property.

Suggest you review the terms of service for the board.

Violate them and you will get ZOTTED.

It was probably "censored" because it said "George Bush Junior."

That's a clear tipoff that the writer is a fool.

This site is NOT subject to the First Amendment, as it is privately owned.

I imagine you're about to be "censored."
Go away, troll.

You misunderstood.

It's a sensor ship.

It comes from China, loaded with cheap O² sensors destined for Auto Zone.

But seriously before this thread gets pulled. This is JimRobs forum, it's not public property, and he has the right to determine what content is here.

He has never liked the White Supremacist BS and I don't blame him. Also with literally millions of hits a day, he doesn't need to be found guilty by association so he has to protect himself somewhat.

That's it, just common sense. Something some around here will never have.

In visiting the website, I notice that you're not allowing any opposing views yourselves. Interestingly hypocritical.

Truth is relative, and in your case it's relatively crazy.

Then you are in agreement that censorship thrives here and the article is true?

Would you consider it censorship if you came into my living room and started spouting off crap I found offensive and I kicked you out of my house?

Same thing here, idiot.

Hey, dimbulb, you're lying:

Your first paragraph says

The following post was censored by freerepublic.com shortly after it was posted on their "public" forum on 9/11/04. That forum is designed to appear as though it is a community forum open to all, but this post only received three responses before it and its replies were deleted, and a repeat posting at 4 am PST on 9/20/04 didn't stay online for 5 minutes!

But the "essay" says this:

Osama bin Laden killed nearly 3,000 people on that fateful day, but no matter how many buildings he might attack or people he might kill, he could never destroy our fundamental values and freedoms. Only Americans, through poor choices of leadership, can destroy American freedoms and liberties by allowing them to be chipped away through such travesties as the 'Patriot' Act and its various planned upgrades. In that light the present Bush administration seems to be well on its way toward finishing the job of destroying America that bin Laden could only dream of, and I for one do not consider that an appropriate response to terrorism.

Since the Patriot Act wasn't signed until October 26, 2001.

Simply put, you're a flat out liar and a documentd T R O L L.

Free Republic is private property. It is NOT "Censorship" if the owner of the board decides, as he rightful did in this case, that the posting is a pile of hate filled rantings from a politically bigoted twit with NO clue about they topic they are speaking. Since the posting did NOT rise anywhere near the level of merit expected on Free Republic the owner of the board simply deleted it as unworthy. It is the EXACT same thing a Letter to the Editor board does when it chooses NOT to publish this or that letter. If this moron thinks his hysterically stupid babble is SO important and so worthwhile, LET HIM start his OWN web site. He has NO right to demand his verbal diarrhea MUST be posted where ever his deluded mind feels he should be hear.
