Don't stop there, DJ. It also has a band of vicious bigots. I was invited there, but I hurried up and got out of that place.

If you went there looking for that and that only then I would guess you found some. I can go in here and find a bunch of the same. I can find some in both sites who never had a constitutional thought in their life. When you went into the site you had a choice. You could either look for a discussion on a matter of interest to you and could seek out subjets of genuine honest debate, or you could find a smaller bunch within the forum of narrow minded brain washed persons following blindly an idea or purpose without thought as to where it leads. Same in here.

I lurk there, I post there. I do not flame FR there nor do I flame LP here.

It's a new forum and it will take time to see disruptors rather than debators go. If you looked in the past several days you would have noticed it is indeed a lot more disciplined to serious debate.

I lurk in a couple of more sites as do many freepers. But what I find the most insane is those who come in here saying hey look what was posted in DU let's go start a war and disrupt their site. Why? Are they as free Americans not entitled to their beliefs as well? It only invites problems for JR when persons do this. Personally I hope both sites {LP and FR} grow and more are added especially for my taste Independent Constitutional based forums. I'll post things over there I won't post here simply because I do not want to fight a flame war. Though the idea I likely posted usually not so long was held common even in this forum and among many conservatives.

Last night I was called among other things a liberal. Those who know me and my political leanings know better than that. I was defending a person that not so long ago was a hero amongst us. Seems if anyone dare question a certain political eliete they are automatically labeled liberals. Way to go people persons like Stalin and Hitler made the worship of government rather than the control of government the rule of the day. Are we headed there also by silencing reasonable debate and silencing addressing reasonable concerns?

I go to LP to see post of some post from some good and very reputable posters who simply moved on not the disruptors we all know so well.

This presupposes that I went "looking" for something. I checked it out at the request of a friend telling me how it was a new site that I might like. While there, that's what I noticed and noticed a bunch.

And I haven't went back since. And, no, I will not go back there. I'm not complaining, either. I was correctly taught that it's better not to go where you are not "welcome."

Sniper, rdb3 and JoeDon are talking about Liberty Forum. They don't know the difference between LF and LP and won't listen if you tell them.
