Here at StrikeBackUSA.com we are all for freedom of speech, But we are also cognizant of the fact that freedom is not free. The parasitic marxists that make up the liberal left have been getting a “free” ride for far too long. The “free” ride of which I speak has been paid for by you and I. Whether it be blood or treasure the liberal parasites contribute next to nothing of their own. Communism i.e. liberalism only works (to the extant that it does) by leeching off of the productive members of society. That is why it can never last long.

Bump! There is no reason leftists should be allowed to walk around spewing their sedition. The Constitution is not a suicide pacet.
Leftist Liberals have been allowed to spew their garbage unopposed because the GOP leadership has no gonads and Liberals have allies in the MSM. Despicable as that!
You said it! Thank God for the net!
The best remedy for lies is truth. But truth unheard is truth concealed. We all have the responsibility to help get the truth out. It requires persistence and courage, and won’t be easy.
It is too bad the repubs wusses! That is why I am a nationalist!
Thank the Lord for FR, the most inflential Conservative site on the net!
Worse. They’re termites.
Smug, self-absorbed Termites!
FR is the best, no doubt. I thank FR for allowing me to post!
Most tax dollars are paid by the very rich in America. And a very large number of the very rich are politically liberal, contrary to the popular opinion, including most of those who made their money in technology and entertainment.
See the money-raising structure of the Democratic Party (relatively few very large donations) versus that of the GOP (many small to medium size donations).
If (shudder) Hillary is elected in 2008, and the “Fairness Doctrine” is rolled out against the 10% of the media liberals don’t already control, sites like FR may become hubs of the next wave of dissent.
As talk radio was, so will be sites like this.
I hope the webmasters are contemplating new ways to effectively deploy people like Rush, and the hundreds of at-risk voices at talk radio stations around America, in the even those voices are silenced in their current media.
There could be some very big opportunities. Sites like this are going to be the foundation, of that next step.
Although an annual income of a hundred large is nothing to sneeze at, it hardly puts the recipient in the "very rich" category, unless it represents interest income on a high seven-figure or low eight-figure fortune, which is where the "very rich" label should kick in. Far from contributing "most" tax dollars in America, people at that level have tax-reduction measures (foundations, offshore accounts, and other such shelters) and advisors who know how to work the system, so that most of them end up paying fewer taxes than people who make considerably less money -- as Warren Buffett admitted recently (citing his 17% tax liability vs. the 30% liability of one of his salaried employees).
In short, it's the working well-off, not the mega-millionaires, who pay the most, and this fact only highlights the hypocrisy of the leftist technologists (led by you, Sergey and Larry) and entertainers (whose names I will not allow to soil my screen) who donate tons to candidates but crumbs, if anything, directly to their country.

Warren made about $360M last year, which at 17% would be $61.2M. Assuming his employee made $100k, she would contribute considerably less than $30k to the IRS.
You're confusing rate of taxation with the amount paid.
I do not have any numbers on the liberal/conservative split among those earning over $100k, but I know that quite a large number of them are liberals.

What's with the hostility? I'm not in favor of liberalism, just pointing out that a lot of taxes in this country are paid by liberals.
Liberals are also socialists. To me there is no difference between a liberal and Joseph Stalin.
I agree that some libs are wealthty and pay some taxes, my point is that it is the libs that are parasitic in nature and employ the groupthink that is communistic in nature when it comes to “social programs” that overburden the working mid class (me and mine). If the Libs are so generous why is it that in Mass. (where I live) there are 2 state income tax levels. One is higher than the other by a few percentage points. The high minded liberal pols and the pundits in the media here in Mass where all for the higher income tax level but almost no one volunteers to pay the higher percentage the libtards force me to pay via there activism and control of media.
I’ve tried to find some statistics of Democratis/GOP or liberal-conservative split by different income levels, without success.
If anybody knows where I can find this information, I’d appreciate you letting me know.
Personally, I suspect that the very lowest income levels are heavily liberal/Democrat, with the middle and upper middle largely GOP/conservative, and the very highest levels shifting back over to Democratic/liberal.
But I can’t prove it without the numbers.
You are correct. Hitler was a national socialist. All the same to me.
