Why Is Free Republic Allowing Liberal Trolls To Stay?

Would it not be "liberal-like" or fascist or communist to try to shut down the opposition.

Yeah, Ok, they may not belong here, but, wouldn't most threads end up with half or less of the volume of posts if only conservatives were allowed to post?

Liberals are not allowed on this forum and neither are their stupid lunatic opinions. It is the policy of Free Republic.

"Open" forums don't work. For example, look what happened to the NewsMax Forum.

So it's quantity and not quality that this conservative site is after?

I dare say many true conservatives do not post because they do not want to spend their time arguing w/trolls. If we want lies, we'd watch TV for propaganda or read a rag or two. This is an example of leaving the borders open - it has a damaging effect.

We have to remember that FR is a PRIVATE SITE. It is not a Public site, and it is not an “open” site. We are ALL here as GUESTS of Jim Robinson, frankly. It’s HIS house...

Your suggesting that it’s fascist or communist to shut down the “opposition” on this site, doesn’t really acknowledge the fact that this is not a government entity, and is honestly “private property”.

Actually, all this thread is doing is trying to say that there seem to be a lot of “astro-turfers” here on the site who really are promoting Obama and his policies - especially within the last 4-5 months. There is no reason they should be allowed to “stay” at a site that is meant as a place for CONSERVATIVES (of many stripes - liberatarian, Republican, Libertarian, Idependents, aPolitical-types, disenfranchised Conservatives, etc... — all who agree with the stated “vision” set forth on the main page of this forum.
