Facebook Removes Post About Rancher Bundy
FOX News Radio ^ | April 17, 2014 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 04/17/2014 6:34:29 AM PDT by george76

landed in the Facebook gulag when I tried to post our daily Bible verse.

...

Now before you call up the preacher had put me on the church prayer list – let me assure the posting was neither unseemly nor ungentlemanly.

Nevertheless, it caused great consternation and angst among Facebook’s left-wing censors. Following is the egregious text:

“Rancher Bundy should’ve told the feds that those were Mexican cows – who came across the border illegally to seek better grazing opportunities. It was an act of love.”

Thousands of you posted comments and many more shared that message. It’s now gone — blotted out by anonymous redactors.

I reached out to Facebook to find out which part of the message violated their standards. Never heard back. I suspect I should’ve used the term “illegal alien cows.”

It’s not the first time my postings have been bleeped by the Facebook Purge Police. Heck, I’m a serial offender. I’ve been banished, blocked and censored for writing about Chick-fil-A, God, the Bible, Paula Deen, Cracker Barrel rocking chairs, sweet tea, Jesus, the Gaither Vocal Band, the Gideons, the National Rifle Association and June Bugs.

Flawed and compromised as it is, Facebook is the best social media out there right now for getting news stories out that are ignored or skewed by the MSM, and for coordinating political activities and action.

I have been called a racist for referring to Mexican citizens as Mexicans...once we were talking about a horse and said he was a Mexican horse, a woman in a very angry voice asked me why we called the horse a Mexican horse and I told her because he was from Mexico. It is crazy...

I mean nuts and bolts do, not accomplish do. What important services do they offer that FR doesn’t?

Define what important service FreeRepublic offers?

Much of the land in Arizona that is constantly trashed by illegals is under the “management” of BLM. Yet the BLM does nothing about the environmental destruction done to the land and wildlife by illegals. Never have I heard a peep about environmentalists saying anything either.

Public land in Arizona south of I-8 has been closed to the public due to illegal traffic, smuggler danger- why doesn’t the BLM arm up and go down there and take that back from the Cartels if they want to declare war on someone?

Sorry, but being on facebook is tantamount to admitting that one’s IQ is just slightly below that of the Obamadork...

There are very intellectual arguments is some of the secret and closed groups.

Exactly....so that would be the point that freedom is being lost at this time in that venue....I think.

Don't feel like the lone stranger as I've had a number of my posts deleted as well. Also there are some Christian folks on FB that I try to share their messages with others but FB tells me I can't share these particular users messages. No real explanation but the one thing I have noticed is that all these deletions and blocked shares have in common is the Christian themed messages. So much for FREE expression on FB.

Oh and as you say it does not one bit of good to ask for a reason why they do these things. They just ignore you. The censorship of Christians and their messages is steadily growing.

I agree with you. It allows me to stay in contact with some folks better than other methods. Overall FB sucks.
