I've started to see Breitbart host more and more pro-Cruz propaganda items on their sites. If they're going to continue posting anti-Trump lies and deception, they should go the way of "Right Scoop" and not be allowed to be posted on this site.
For example, this morning I come across a scurrilous piece by Dr Susan Berry, Donald Trump Foundation Donated $20K to Public School LGBT Activist Group GLSEN. Not saying that it's true, but even if it was, since when would Donald Trump have day-to-day management control on each and every donation made. Besides, it was 4 years ago. What relevance is this to today?
This just shows that it may not be a reliable news source any longer. I think articles from this source should be banned from FR.
Well said.
Can I cross my arms outside of the barn... or is that micro-aggressive body language in this week's NewSpeak edition of Roberts Rules for Order? What about eating garlic for lunch in my stall - is that "offensive" too per today's socially acceptable progressive menu?
At least Boxer and the other horses don't seem to mind when I call their work-product out for what it is and load it into the wheelbarrow with the manure rake.
I think that's one way to distinguish the work-product of the Great Architect from the "Arheeeetecture" that gets worshiped and served after emerging from the wherever of some technocratic ladder climbing L.I.F.E.R. corporate-collectivist slave.
better to walk on eggshells than pull a chamberlain......
appeasing a bully is NEVER the right way to go.
as long as its kept civil, questions have GOT to be asked.
the time for staying silent is looooooooong gone.
Banning news sources. How . . . progressive.
The relevance is that he supported it. Can you show where he condemned it?
You need to read this:
Jim Robinson, "Continue insulting us with 24/7 anti-Trump diatribes and insults, your opus will be assumed. We will unite behind our nominee"

And how tragic is that? As I said on another thread about the whole “we must vote for Trump or we’ll get Hillary” thing:
I reject the premise. I see it over and over again, but why is it a given that Trump would be better than Clinton? Based on what? What hes been saying as a candidate or how hes lived his entire life? I choose to judge the man by his actions and by that standard I see no cause for hope that he would govern any more conservatively than Clinton.
I agree with that... except to say the civil has to go both ways. If it doesn't then it's called oppression.
{Thanks but it may be IBTZ. Im walking on eggshells.}

Trump has weathered so much that he's getting good at it and we don't need to gag the "principled" ones here - just counter-punch to demonstrate how obsessed and deranged they have become.
ADD the LEFT WING HUF-POST too. I’m tired of their left wing crap. News is supposed to be neutral.
My heart goes out to Free Republic and the difficulty of moderating a site of this size during an election campaign. This has happened more often than not in my experience.
Let’s pray that any zots be confined to those who curse or mention violence or racist attitudes toward FR or toward any otherwise conservative candidate.
I really don’t fault any of them for wanting to win. I think Cruz realizes this is his only shot (same with Kasich), so he’s definitely pushing the envelope of acceptability.
BUT...we still want to control the Senate and House when this is over, and Cruz is a Senator.
We must not destroy a Senator while in the midst of not selecting him for the presidency.
“”Which web sites should be allowed?
Conservative Treehouse, Gateway Pundit and....?”””
Then why would we bother with FR? Oh, the irony of the OP.
So you want this place to be a safe space for sensitive little snowflakes that can’t deal with people who don’t think exactly like they do?
LOL... wow... do you get out much?
Isn’t Breitbart owned/ financed by Robert Mercer who is Cruz multimillionaire backer? Of course they will be very anti Trump as he intends to make hedge fund managers like Mercer pay taxes!
Apparently Mercer believes that Cruz will support status quo.
Mark, I get why you want to ban them. #NeverTrump establishment propaganda masquerading as conservative news has fooled many good people. There are many doing that now tho, Red State, Town hall, National Review, Levin, Rush, etc.
The thing is prior to Trump exposing their hidden agenda and indirectly their financial motives for doing so most good people had no clue of their dishonesty and agenda of the Establishment to control us.
What we see from the Cruz campaign workers posting Trump hit piece after hit piece day after day is what the uninformed good people are being barraged with daily on TV, radio and online. However, this forum is special in it allows people to challenge the lies spin and propaganda. Some of the best researchers I have seen post on this forum for example. As you have seen the Establishment propaganda is not only rebutted usually very effectively on here, its seen by millions of people who spread the knowledge the Hit pieces are Establishment propaganda, spin, etc and how to counter them when talking with their naive but good friends and neighbors.
IMHO Let the Slow learners, the Cruz Campaign Workers, the liberals posing as conservatives to stir up trouble, the Media people posing as normal chatters, etc., post their manufactured authority hit-pieces on Trump all they want. We can see what they are telling the uninformed and also learn how to counter it.
So what were you doing this AM at Breitbart then? And you just posted three links from there. Okay for thee but not for me?
Just because something isn’t posted on FR for discussion doesn’t mean we don’t know about it, as we are all just as capable as you are to peruse the whole WWW. Sounds like you don’t think FReepers are very smart.
Uhuh.
'cause we sure wouldn't want the neophyte Emperor to catch wind of the idear that having his new Manafortian clothes knitted by a tailor who likes to knit the underwear for Soviet Communist Thugs, IS UNACCEPTABLE -- would we?
The goal seems to be not merely the election of Trump but the utter and complete dismantling of the Republican Party. How is Trump going to unite a party when he seems bent on destroying it?
Seems to me that people here want their cake (the election of Trump) and they want to eat it too (destroying the infrastructure on which Trump must rely in order to beat the democrats).
I see a lot of hatred for the GOP here, but if we destroy the GOP then we are doomed not only to a Hillary victory, but a landslide defeat in the house and Senate.
If we bury our heads in the sand and refuse to recognize the faults and weaknesses of our chosen candidates and demand safe spaces on this forum and others, then we will get Hillary, Pelosi, Schumer and 3 more Ruth Bader Ginsburgs.
By destroying the GOP, which appears to be the goal of many, we will get nothing less than the destruction of the Republic.
But I fear the damage is already done. It may be too late already.
