'Good bye'

Not that you need -my- approval for that action, but I certainly do commend and endorse showing CJL the door.

And if I may be so bold, I'd like to suggest that at some future point, you may wish to take a long hard look at the pro-Rudy agitators and RudyBots (as I call them) and whether their continued presence on FR is more of a detriment than a benefit.

I look at Free Republic as a microcosm of what is happening in America, FR's foundation is exactly as you have stated from the beginning, we ARE 'Pro-God, Pro-Life, Pro-America' and make no apologies for doing so, nor should we (or course the RudyBots are quick to say that the views of Freepers, the results of member polls, etc., have no relation to reality which begs the question: 'why do they spend so much time then, attempting to defy and deny what they consider a state of un-reality'?).

Conservative America is in the early process of being sold a bill of goods in the upcoming election cycle of 2008, because we are being told that Rudy Giuliani is the 'best chance we have to keep Hillary out of the White House' (spoken in a shrill, fearful voice similar to Chicken Little's 'the sky is falling, the sky is falling!').

As I've said in many of my posts, the primaries, nominating conventions, and the general convention is so far off that it is foolishness to buy into this Hillary-based fearmongering, let alone the idea that RudyG is the only guy on a white horse that can 'save' America. There is no guarantee that Hillary is going to be the nominee, and for that reason alone the GOP should not allow itself to be stampeded into annointing a pro-abortion, gun-grabbing New York liberal-RINO as it's nominee, who has less foreign policy experience than John F'in Kerry himself.

Any true conservative with a conscience can not support the views and positions of Giuliani, no matter that he wears the mantle of 9/11 upon his shoulders and his handlers and enablers never let anyone forget about it. OK, he did a good job on 9/11, what has he done since then?

How about cashing in on his burst of fame, and trying to foist the mobbed-up Bernie Kerik on the Bush Administration for 'Homeland Security'? (just to name two things that come to mind).

Ok, Ok, Rudy Giuliani seems to 'get it' when it comes to the War on Islamofascism, but so does the writer Christopher Hitchens, does anyone think that qualifies HIM to be President of the United States?

As I do so often, 'alas I digress' and sorry for that but the incessant beating of the Rudy-drums by a noisy minority of Freepers is way out of proportion for the support he has on this website, and I understand Jim why you might hesitate to ban the Rudy-spammers and agitators who are trying to ram their RINO down our throats. If you show them the door as you did CJL today, there will be a hue and cry about 'censorship' about 'muzzling dissent', and any number of liberal-RINO whines you can imagine, but you know what my Number One Free Republic FRiend?

At the end of the day, it is your website. It is YOUR decision as to who posts and who doesn't, and you can be 100 percent sure that if in some alternate universe, the RudyBots on FR were the owners and operators of this conservative website, they would have already banished everyone to the right of their boy Rudy, meaning, you and me and the 90.1 percent of Freepers who did NOT click 'Rudy' on the FR member poll 'Who do you support in the GOP presidential primaries'.

If Free Republic were a major metropolitan newspaper, you as the Owner, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief would not tolerate for one second if a gang of malcontents representing 10 percent of the local population stormed the newsrooms, demanded to be heard, and insisted on their views and opinions being published, you would not only call security and tell them to bring the nightsticks and pepperspray, you would tell that unruly mob that YOU are the owner of that newspaper and if they don't like what is published, go buy another newspaper, and your publication will not be bullied by the likes of people who have nothing in common with the standards and principles upon which the newspaper was founded.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents+ on the situation and I thank you for making this conservative website possible.

God Bless You Jim.
