We have to remember that FR is a PRIVATE SITE. It is not a Public site, and it is not an “open” site. We are ALL here as GUESTS of Jim Robinson, frankly. It’s HIS house...
Your suggesting that it’s fascist or communist to shut down the “opposition” on this site, doesn’t really acknowledge the fact that this is not a government entity, and is honestly “private property”.
Actually, all this thread is doing is trying to say that there seem to be a lot of “astro-turfers” here on the site who really are promoting Obama and his policies - especially within the last 4-5 months. There is no reason they should be allowed to “stay” at a site that is meant as a place for CONSERVATIVES (of many stripes - liberatarian, Republican, Libertarian, Idependents, aPolitical-types, disenfranchised Conservatives, etc... — all who agree with the stated “vision” set forth on the main page of this forum.

I don't disagree with any of that. What I disagree with is the part where some people believe that, just because some people have some issues on which they differ from "conservatives" that they should be either shouted down or banned. Thus, even though RINOs have some issues on which they are "democrat-like", they still consider themselves "republicans". I have no disagreement with this being a conservative site. I just hope that some people can be more open-minded.
