The recent crevo war at FR has produced some serious casualties. Some of our long-time friends and colleagues have departed; and oh! Ill miss them. I hope theyll be back soon.
FreeRepublic is one of the most influential and diverse web sites on the Internet, in which lively, well-informed discussions of science, philosophy, religion, and culture all flourish, every day. Well miss the contributions of our departed friends.
Others were banned. Long-time FReepers have seen this before. The last major eruption of this sort was followed by an exodus of Young-Earth-Creationists.
In both cases, disaffected FReepers left and established alternative websites, from which they lobbed disparaging attacks on FR at will DesignedUniverse, and Darwin Central respectively, both of which seemingly draw audiences of the like-minded only. In any case, we trust that folks eventually realize that it is unwise policy to burn your bridges behind you.
In any case, no one can say that Jim Robinson isnt fair-minded and even-handed. The DU cases ought to be proof enough that he doesnt target Darwinists or methodological naturalists for his displeasure. It seems clear to me that almost all points of view are welcome here, provided people behave themselves in civilized manner, and do not undermine the purpose for which this wonderful Forum exists: the defense of our free republic, of our national sovereignty, and of our American way of life.
Jim Robinson himself has spoken to this issue very clearly recently, here and here.
It hardly needs saying that we were delighted to discover how very much Jims comments anticipate our own analysis of the current cultural situation, as we document it in Timothy in a lighthearted but deadly serious way.

(What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? Please meet my friend, Jesus)
Rome early in its history was organized according to republican principles, and flourished. Yet historically literate Americans of the founding period well understood how fragile republics can be, when their people fail to uphold the norms, values, and ethics that conduce to the republican ideal and thus to human liberty: When these fail, tyranny must follow. Rome and Athens, too are the classical object lessons of how great societies, great human cultures, great political orders, fail and fall, with all the disorder that inevitably follows in the human sphere when such catastrophes occur. Seems I'll have to check into this book...
