I am a bit bothered by this repeated encounter with censorship on your site. This is the second time that I have encountered censorship on your site. The first time was when I was removed from being allowed to post for expressing that FOX News does not represent true conservatism, and it doesnt.
John Robinson sent me one kind email saying that the reason was that they typically get trolls and identify them for attacking FOX News. The second email that came from John immediately after was that he wished me the best of luck if I tried to expose the censorship on FreeRepublic against conservatives that apparently exists if you do not bow to the current politicians in power and owe your loyalty to the now less than conservative Republican party. That was rather rude, but I did not pay it much mind.
Today I was surfing and came across a site I do not agree with on all levels, but tried to make a post about some revealing facts that presented on their site about the perversity of Disney.
What was the result of my trying to make this post?
I got a message saying the source was not welcome on FreeRepublic.
As a conservative who would put any average Republican to shame with my traditional values and economic view that makes Reagan look like a two-bit haircut in a black and white movie, I would love to hear why this one is censored. And, as I told John, I can easily take these issues straight to conservatives who do not feel that Club GOP represents conservatism on the Internet with my web development skills.
I also just noticed that your site has made it impossible to highlight text in fields for posting in trying to copy and paste this link. On the one hand, I do believe in driving out stupidity from the Internet. On the other hand, I believe that only liberal leftist propaganda need be removed. I am beginning to wonder what makes FreeRepublic think that one conservative is acceptable rather than another. I think that conservatives like me would be interested to know the limitations you have obviously coded into publication on your site.
As I said, I do not agree with everything I read on the site I tried to link, but they did a very good job of exposing Disney on the link above.
Think about it.
Taxes are voluntary in the Constitution. The government doesn’t even have any business knowing how much you make.
Lesson over. I am turning in.
That would be whichever Amendment said we are guaranteed the right to a Libertarian form of government. No 10?
parsy, who is sleepy
I suggest you try Topix.com
That is a site that is a free-for-all cesspool of everything from ultra conservative to radical Marxist Obots.
Many post on there will surely get your blood boiling.
LOL! Don’t start! They’ll be all over it. Like the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, they’ll all turn toward it, start pointing, and making weird, keening noises.
parsy, who is worn out
Do the letters “GFY” mean anything to you?
50mm, darkwing...the floor is yours.
Actually it is not an amendment. It is in the original Constitution. Why you think that anyone who is in line with the founding fathers is a Libertarian pro-abort, pro-legalization of drugs is beyond me?
Truthers? You are posting links to a Truther Site?
Ah - which Part says that again?
Perhaps, but whoever said it was? Sometimes smacking down whiners is just plain fun.
And to come on here whining about how others permit you to utilize their private property isn't entirely conservative. Maybe JimRob would like to have back the part of his paycheck you appropriated for your soapbox, that is actually his right under the constitution.
This is Jim Robinson's home, and some topics (and sources thereof) are not welcome in his home - that's not censorship, that's private property rights. You are free to discuss the topic on your own website.
Freedom of the press does not include the irrefusable right to use someone else's press.
Experience. I have found that many discontented conservatives are really more libertarian than conservative, and that the stuff we ain’t going far enough on for their liking, is like all economic libertarian stuff that has been snuck in on the GOP and conservative by LICE (Libertarians Infiltrating Conservative Entities)
parsy, who assumes sometimes
Oh, you are one of THOSE conservatives that only thinks that the ORIGINAL constitution is valid...
I guess the following was not a part of the original constitution either:
Hmmm...Maybe I overestimated the intelligence of this lot. Post one thing to rock the boat and the whole ship stops sailing. One word said to so much as trouble the waters of this ocean, and everyone comes with complaints against my post. GFY? Well, that’s not the subject of your business if I do.
My elders?
Pfft...
I am not a young man, and for you to consider me to need to listen to anyone here from what I’ve seen of the vehement replies is just plain stupid.
I suggest you listen to yourself.
Can you put that sentence into English?
OMG, it's the return of:
Oh brother, call a whambulance.
Some of us, sometimes browse that left-wing site which starts with “duh” to keep up with what the communists are thinking.
When the marxists refer to their political opposition, they invariably refer to one site, and one site only: Free Republic.
This site is special. It’s also very symbolic, and a lot of socialists would like to find some reason to attack it.
You signed up a couple months ago, and want to post from a “truther” site, and then decide what should and should not be posted on this site?
Who appointed you boss? What’s more conservative, than ownership?
Jim Thompson owns and operates this site.
He makes the rules.
Don’t like it? Then be as conservative as you claim, and start a competing site.
PS: what do you think about Mitt Romney? ;)
So, with that I will leave you with Club GOP. The replies are insulting, not at all about discussion. I recognize Johnny boy has the right to be a better conservative than me, so let him be. I also noticed my comments are being moderated after my post. I am not going to stick around this place if all I am going to get is one track to conservatism. My view of conservatism is much bigger than the GOP or the United States federal government. America is a pathetic model of conservatism, and this is a pathetic dialogue.
Good night all!
Clean up Ohio and let the FR to the owners.
Oh, really? I think you're a liar.
