On the right, we’ve grown to pride ourselves on our greater openness to debate and ideas, on having no need to toe a Politically Correct line or crawl into a “safe space” like pampered college kids who just can’t handle hearing from anyone who disagrees with them.
For myself, I am so personally dedicated to this ideal that I even perform the great personal sacrifice of reading the comments field beneath my articles.
Yet somehow I wasn’t surprised to see Donald Trump supporters, those swaggering tough guys, turn one of their favorite Internet forums into a safe space where they no longer need to encounter criticism or opposition. Earlier today, Free Republic proprietor Jim Robinson announced that the discussion board would no longer tolerate opposition to Trump’s candidacy.

Given the above you picked a really bad screen name. Nothing perfect about you.
The Federalist are Hillary supporters. Idiot libertarians (but I repeat myself) always get things wrong.
Yur either for em or against em .. Enough of this Endless Protest.. It’s so Bezerkeley.
Anyone that expects you to do that is not a conservative.
On the form for Progressives, I most appreciated the reason for their BH as...Unknown (Create a name for it)__________.
It amazes me that the concepts of private property and freedom of association are so hard for folks like these to grasp.
Until Cruz and Kasich dropped out, you let folks have their say, as long as they were reasonably civil.
Once they dropped out, there was no sense rehashing the differences or what might have been.
The mission has come into focus—defeat Hillary utterly and support Trump.
Carry on, Mr. Robinson!
Aliens, you say?
Do tell... Or don’t.
Let me guess.
1948 really was an alien landing at Roswell, and the aliens (this wasn’t their first visit after all) checked on the progress of the planet. They were not happy with what they saw. The filthy humans had exploded fission bombs in the desert, and used them in one of their clumsy wars. This sort of thing had to be brought to an end.
And what of the worlds progress toward the goals they’d set a century before when they’d communicated with a fellow named KM. The Galactic league would not tolerate the presence of such uncivilized barbarians in their midst, and would enforce their quarantine of the planet until we had a proper global government operating according to the principles outlined in the manifesto.
(Mind you, there had been previous attempts at contact, but due to the even more primitive level of civilization on this planet, they had usually been killed. That, or the contacts had turned into raving madmen.)
That done, the visitors left a few representatives, and a few genetic ‘samples’ to be mixed in with the gene pool of the elites, in hopes of spurring along the evolution of mankind. Shortly thereafter, as seen in threads/comments elsewhere, a cohort of individuals was born, and they have since come to their fruition.
At this very moment, they are at the cusp of achieving their goals, a global socialist utopia which they can then present to their masters and usher in a new era of global wealth, health, and abundance as we join the greater galactic co-prosperity sphere.
And no doubt when this happens, those who have led this renaissance of retrograde mankind will be rewarded appropriately with power and health and wealth eternal...
Or something like that.
(Or did I just make that all up???)
Anyway, just having a little fun. Hope you’re having a good day, and that this little sci-fi diatribe isn’t too close to any sort of truth, because if it were, that would be rather horrifying.

And there are a few 99’ers around too.

“I honestly do not see the logic of trying to destroy the candidacy of Donald Trump at this point in the process.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s completely logical if you want to see Hillary win.
I believe the alien spaceship crashed in 47 not 48. You may be referring to the second alien landing.
You got that right.
Sometimes they posted the same articles more than once. It was so bad I began to suspect they were paid for each word they posted.
Free Republic has a mission, which is to defeat helleri, and opposition to Trump is incompatible with that mission and counterproductive at this point in time.
[For myself, I am so personally dedicated to this ideal that I even perform the great personal sacrifice of reading the comments field beneath my articles.]
No doubt, a lot of those comments are deleted, too. Before they are “closed”. This guy is as hilarious as Karl Rove.
Welcome back, DaxtonBrown.
That’s what I’m talkin bout.
