Oh please, if you can't see the censorship that has taken over this place in the past month your blind. Even bringing it up you throw some victim/pouting "observance" garbage at me to shut-up.

The fact is that this place is owned and run now by the one thought is the only thought police. People have left this place in droves from the attacks overwhelmingly from your side. This used to be a place where all opinions were welcome and respected even if they were wrong. Not anymore, march lockstep or face the rath of the "Conservatives".

If you support this President your not welcome at FR. I would rather fight the good fight and lose than turn my back on President George W Bush.

If I were trying to shut you up, I've done a piss poor job, have I not? I'd think I could do better, were that my intention.

So can you sit there at your keyboard and honestly tell me that the only people now on FR just hate the President with all their might? That anyone who supports him at all just isn't welcome here? That sort of black or white thinking is known as a "sucker's choice". "I can either post on FR, or I can support the President. There are no other options!". It's blatantly untrue.

I'll state it again. All opinions are welcome. You have every right to post in here, provided you follow the etiquette guidelines. You do not have a right to have a majority agree with you. You do not have a right to force others to listen to what you have to say. But others disagreeing with you isn't "censorship". If you speak and no one agrees, change your delivery, not your viewpoint. If you ask a question and get wrong answers, the problem is with the question, not those at whom you directed it. There is nothing wrong with FR. The side you supported came out on the short end on this one. That's all.

As for the "good fight", that's exactly the same approach Miers opponents have. You just aren't seeing it. You'd rather support the President and lose. Fine. I'd rather support my principles and lose, and if that means I oppose the President's decision (note: that's his decision, which is not the same as opposing the president himself) then so be it. I choose principle over party. In this case, I supported my principles over my party and I won. Both viewpoints are welcome, but if you're in the minority, you can expect to have your voice occasionally get lost in the crowd. That doesn't equate to censorship.
