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.)

This has nothing to do with race it's about political activism. I've had several post pulled SOLEY because it went against the official government line.

Read it while you can....

This is the last post that I had censored by FR. Any racism here? No it is not the "official line" so it was pulled.

If it can be him today, it can be US tomorrow. Also, note that he's only guilty of possessing plans for a dirty bomb. Isn't that simply a "thought crime"?

You are right about it could be you or me tomorrow. I think this guy is guilty of absolutely nothing at this point. He has not even been charged yet.

As an American citizen he should be charged or let go. If charged he should recieve a fair trial just like any other criminal in this country.

There is no prisoner designation in our criminal courts for "Combatant". If they outlaw firearm ownership today could you not be considered a combatant tomorrow if you fail to comply? Designated as such couldn't you be stripped of your Constitutional Right to due process?

Richard Jewel was falsely accused by this same agency. If he had been wisk off to a naval stockaid and tried before a military tribunal he probably would still be in jail and we would all be convinced that the Olympic bomber had been caught.

This can be done without pissing on the Constitution. The threat to liberty and freedom comes from Washington not Afghanistan. It's not Osama that denies an American citizen due process in this country. It's not the Taliban that allows law enforcement to break in and search your house and papers without a search warrant with no prior evidence of criminal activity. It's not Saddam that requires you to jump through hoops and do flips in order to own a firearm for self defense.
