This was not the reason I posted, and I don't want to get off-topic, but your post confuses me.

On the one hand you say: "Free Republic bans people who come over here and spew the Democratic talking points", but then when you talk of trying to get sites shut down you say: "It is fascist behavior more common to the Left than here."

I'm not trying to be confrontational, I truly am not, but is the distinction here that the board has the right to allow whatever speech they want, and the right to censor whoever they want, but we have no right to try and shut them down?

I'm pretty sure the First Amendment extends to me as well as the managers of this or any other board. They have the right to censor and ban as much as they want, and I have every right to protest it. Nobody else has to, I just wondered if I could get some help. Apparently not.

I guess I'm just a little more offended by that anti-Christian and anti-Semetic stuff than my fellow Freepers.

I was not aware of that right.

Apparently not.

Fellow FReepers? Do you even know the secret handshake yet?

Sure you do. You have the right to try and get their site shut down just as you have the right to join an organization to ban guns or ban smoking or ban anything for that matter.

You just are not going to find much solidarity here.

Oh, and you can lose the sanctimonious "noooobody cares but me!!!" attitude. Realizing that there are websites out there that spew ignorant bile and taking up a crusade to sanitize the internet are two different things.

Have you been lurking for a long time or would we know you by another name?

Secret handshake? All I got was the decoder ring
