That Christians are bringing down the republican party is a myth.-me

Correct. But then, I've not seen anyone make that claim here, either.

Bull...that assertion has been made on this very thread (against Christians who don't swallow the lie of evolution)

... which is why I don't understand why a handful of Freepers would choose to make war on those Freepers who happen to accept evolution.

The war was against the religion of evolution, NOT "Freepers who who happen to accept evolution," Your side insult, and the mangement seems to look the other way. Meanwhile, one of the few posters who wanted to talk science gets banned.

like is said...the management should be ashamed. It is something I would expect democrats to do...not conservatives.

You mean because gore3000 was allowed to repeatedly spew vituperation and slander against Jim Robinson, his moderators and this website for the last couple weeks, and to openly cleave to those hostile to Freerepublic and it's members? Nah. I don't see it like that. Jim's a big guy -- sticks and stones and all that. Despite his delusions of grandeur, persecution complex and excessive particularism, gore3000 is a conservative, and JR and the mods generally bend over backwards to give conservatives a second chance. Gore3000 just happened to get a dozen chances, but there's no shame in that. He'll probably even be allowed to return at some point if he can demonstrate that he's gotten a clue.

I haven't seen any, perhaps we're reading them differently. Could you point out one that you think is an example of what you describe?

(against Christians who don't swallow the lie of evolution)

What about evolution do you consider a "lie"?

The war was against the religion of evolution, NOT "Freepers who who happen to accept evolution,"

You don't see these as attacks on Freepers who accept evolution?

This is brave new world order and conservatism on the FR ... is being hi jacked by this psuedo intellectual - PC nazis (( non pluralists - anti democratic - monopolists )) --- atheists - new agers ! Aren't these liberal republicans really ... anti conservatives --- moles - sleepers ? Will FR - America become a science fiction cult like you - yours .. Such is the hole - rot of evolution you are trying to drown civilization - America - FR under ! FR lib speak - think ... only --- you would like that !
Or:
That is why threads get pulled around here - vile evolutionists not wanting to see the truth heard [...] to say as you do above that atheists, evolutionists, materialists which are allied with the NEA, the liberals, the Communists and were allied with the Nazis in destroying Christianity and civilized society are conservatives [on FR] shows extreme bias on your part
Your side insult, and the mangement seems to look the other way.

"Your side" has gotten away with some amazing zingers as well. While some people have gone over the line at times, for the most part it has been within the realm of what is to be expected on threads that are, in essence, debates.

Meanwhile, one of the few posters who wanted to talk science gets banned.

I disagree that he "wanted to talk science". Instead, he wanted to denigrate science, most often by posting unsupported (and unsupportable) claims which were easily refuted, then avoiding attempts to get him to either support or retract them. How many times on this thread had he announced that he was "totally" right, and those he disagreed with were "totally" wrong? Most attempts to actually talk science with him just got repetitions of his original statements, or premature declarations of victory, or accusations of being a "liar", etc. That's not discussing science, that's... something else.

like is said...the management should be ashamed. It is something I would expect democrats to do...not conservatives.

On the contrary, Democrats don't attempt to maintain standards of civility. Conservatives do.
