Now hear this:
Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.
That is all.
The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

Gee, just at a time that the President is relying on the Blogs to spread the possitive news about the war? Think we just might have a little leverage with the big man?

As unfortunate as it seems, my dad has predicted that only way for this country to get back to the way it was would be through a civil war. It seems like we're heading in that direction...question is, what foreign enemies would capitalize on an American civil war?

Or the President could grow a pair. I gave up on that some time ago. GW only has "a set" when it involves stuff outside of the US. Domestically, GW has no huevas....

"I was NOT calling Mr. Robinson directly a 'coward', but that only a coward would NOT fight this."
Then I misunderstood and I apologize.
BTW, symbolic closure may be a way of fighting, although not one that I would choose.

I think McCain is going to hear from a few of us very, very soon. Ironic, isn't it?
To: Victoria Delsoul
I know. Just saying that if FR goes down, I'll be fighting to get it back in whatever way I can.
Still, thanks for the kiss (tis' my first one! I think I'm gonna faint). :P

Question, host and guru, sir:
Would it be feasible to implement a Naptster-style, completely decentralized FR that would be technically beyond Big Brother's interference?

From my cold dead hands you will take MY blog!!!
How would they enforce this? There are so many blogs and many of them deal not just with politics but other matters...would there have to be a mass shutdown of servers that carry blogs?

No nation or empire historically has lasted that long as there were always barbarians or hordes of invaders looking to loot the granaries and defile the monuments that civilized folks filled and built.
The slow process of destroying our way of life and western civilization as we know it today is being accomplished by attacking us from many angles simultaneously... and in most cases, with help form within.
Nothing that surprising about it , really, imo.
the sad part of it is that those sworn to do us proud are just doing us ... and that's about it.
