I love the fact that free speech only applies to certain members of the population according to these lefties. These protestors, the Dixie Chicks, and the Democrats all have the same warped idea on how speech against them should be silenced: http://www.alarmingnews.com/archives/000235.html

From what I saw shortly after that post, it was the only one of his/her posts that wasn't deleted. May have been the only one period.

Here's a trick to seeing still-existing posts of the banned...

At the search window near the top of the news browser
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/browse
enter the banned name in FIND IN FORUM... and make sure the other window shows BY POSTER before hitting FIND

Maybe they should let the Army wives and Moms pick out music to play at Gitmo or in Iraq.

Excellent analysis.

We see this as a form of psychological violence.

Unfortunately, there are judges who would take this kind of idiocy seriously.

But for future reference, remember this: Lefties think music is violence. The next time you hear some of them singing one of their protest songs, feel free to open fire in self defense.

Maybe they could move the protestors to a more appropriate location. Maybe one of the Malone’s, say the SAW qualifying range?

I was born at Ft. Benning, I like they don't take crap from jerks.

>>BTW, that's no fun when the banned user's account page becomes immediately inaccessable. Can't go look at his recent posts and enjoy ogling the burning wreckage! !

I concur wholeheartedly. Is there any way to ban the account, but still keep that stuff accessible for a day or three? A future rev wish list item?

And BTW, Stultis, < *golf clap*> for your #30. That pretty well tells the story.

>>Metallica . . . Motorhead . . .

Personally, I think they needed a dose of our Viking Kitties' favorite, LZ's Immigrant Song, at about 120 dB.

Immigrant Song, at about 120 dB

Definite physical damage at that sound level.

[Semper Paratus]

They should have repositioned their artillery batteries for live round practice.

Yours is about the best summary of the mission of the school and the motives of its opponents I've seen.

Thanks.
