I too find the change in Free Republic distressing. I think Jim has been compromised by the lawsuit as you will find only government approved post left on this sight.
I have been a member of FR since 1998 and a lurker for longer than that and find that I no longer get a diverse opinion from the posts here. Censorship in any form is repugnant and it breaks my heart to see a powerful vehicle such as FR compromised in this way....a sad day indeed.
Oh, come on.. This would just wind up backfiring and make the people who call us all racists believeable if Mr. robinson had allowed those posts to stand.
They would shreek: "See! See! Right there, they are all just a bunch of racists in conservative clothing.. See!"
PS: (speaking of flameouts and opuses, anyone remember that leftist guy who said he was from the "center for intelligent discourse" or whatever who called us all names and used foul language.. LOL! It was so hysterical.. I laughed till I cried over that guy.)
