Exactly!
The people who don’t see this coming to FR or Drudge or their favorite conservative site belong to the typical wildebeest herd that just go on grazing after a lion has killed one of their own herd.

This crap will not get better.

“Constitutionally, Americans have a right to free speech, but they don’t have the right to someone else’s platform to express it. I honestly don’t understand why people think they have a right to Tweet any more than we have a right to post on Free Republic.”

Times change brother, social media platforms are the public forum and they need to be forbidden from arbitrarily banning people. They also need to be held accountable to their terms of service as well.

Yes, the world will never be rid of snowflakes who just live to be offended victims.

Let all the fools talk. Eventually society, if it’s a moral society, will ignore and shun it’s clowns.

So what will you say when an ISP prohibits its uses/customers from Free Republic?

I would find another ISP.

Satan dreams of the day that he wipes out America, for good.

We must remember that ISIS was supported, funded, and defended by McCain, Hillary, and Obama.

The Left has become more hostile, and more overt about what their goals are.

They seek destruction of all Christians and Jews, and the end of morality.

Alex Jones is the Best.

He has the best guests and the best journalists. Big Tech fears Alex because once he is allowed on their playform, Alex and his reporters dominate in popular views. Dominates. If you cannot freely compete, stay out of the kitchen.

First they ridicule you.
Then they censor you.
Then they ban your buying & selling.
Then they put you in a ghetto.
Then they move you to a gulag.
Then they enslave you to death.

Then you dig your own pit.
Then they put a bullet in your head.

Tyranny is not rocket science.

“Christ sake you’re obtuse.”

That’s not exactly a cogent argument.

not sure if you saw the video of Alex in DC... he certainly doesn’t look like a mega health freak. I spoke to him at the inauguration, and he looks like he’s packed on another 50lbs since Jan 20 2017.

Weight is no detriment to health.

Malnutrition is.

Jones has far better endurance than any other public figure I've encountered.

Can you continually work 18 hour days? He can and does.

What if all the ISPs decided to collectively ban Free Republic? I guess you could come in via snail mail.

There’s no better example of what people are having to do technologically to get around Internet censorship than what is going on in China. However this is America and Americans shouldn’t have to jump through hoops like sthat. Internet censorship is a shit-sandwich and don’t try to tell me it tastes good.

Yes, he is. But if you won’t defend free speech for grade A a-holes, there won’t be anyone to defend it for you. The only speech that needs to be protected is speech we despise. We’ll take care of speech we like.

First they came for Alex Jones...

Except that even a lot of people who despise Jones defended him.
