Nothing personal here, so you shouldn’t take it that way, since I have read your posts for some years. And on this subject of Ukraine, I obviously have a polar disagreement with you and some others about this. But that doesn’t mean you should be threatened.
Of course those people are “nutcases”.
So, did you send these threats to Admins and get the accounts terminated?
If they aren’t terminated by Admins, that indicates a bigger problem that needs to be addressed, and that problem is one that every Conservative on this forum would no doubt wish to know about, and that is indisputable.
If you have cases like this, where you reported the abuse to the Admins and no action was taken, have you called those people threatening you out publicly? Have you posted their Freepmails threatening personal violence to you in the forums for all to see?
The only thing that enables people like that to exist is not calling them out publicly. If the management/admins at Free Republic don’t terminate the accounts, with threats like that against you personally that you can document, then don’t you think the community here would like to know about it?
If you have done none of these things, then you must admit that you are part of the problem. These people, if they exist, don’t belong in our community.
I have been here long enough, and have met large numbers of Freepers in person, and I know none of them would put up with it.
Every single conservative I have met would neither do those things in private or in public, and not a single one of them would countenace it if they knew about it.
Only cowardice or timidity allows it to go on, and there is no use for either of those characteristics on this forum if you are indeed getting these kinds of threats as you assert.
Have you taken any of these actions?
Yes. In Solzhenitsyn’s “The Gulag Archipelago” he describes the Soviet Constitution in glowing terms, a perfect document, as good as the American Constitution he implies.
But then he also describes how, as you say, they simply interpet that document in any way they like to use it in any fashion they wish.
And in the USA, we have been going down that road for some time. We are approaching a most deadly terminus of that approach.
And soon.
“They Want to Kill Americans”I agree, well, if by this title he means:
Mao would be a run of the mill democrat today.
