Cry me a river.
You're right. FR has returned foursquare to its conservative ideals. Liberals no longer have free run of the place. The fact that you are sad, is telling.
I'm all for leaving a post up and let others come to their own conclusions .. with the except of those who make clear and outright threats to harm others .. then those post should go
Since you said "Behave yourself, or youll be dog gone..." ... I'm just wondering when you decided who stay and who goes
Actually, the WTC was owned by the NY Port Authority and leased to a private group and that lease was entered into until early in 2001. The Port Authority police still had jurisdiction. City officials have ALWAYS had a role in emergency planning for major sites both public and private.
Nice try, but Rudy’s still on the hook for dropping the ball.
I don’t mind if I get in trouble, I have to stand up for my beliefs, which I consider to be conservative, but not necessarily congruent with all defintions of conservatism. I’ll note that social conservatism is not necessarily allied with individual freedom and limited government, which are the conservative beliefs that I hold dear.
As for the religious side of things, in a free country, folk ought to be free to practice or not the religion of their choice. A free country will require adherence to a code of conduct which may or may not coincide with a given religious code.
I’ll be happy for FR to prominently post the fact that it is a social conservative site, along with a description of social conservatism.
That thing that just went screeching by, overhead? That thing zooming so rapidly, so far above you, that it actually left a visible contrail...?
We call that "The Point."
What liberals? Most of the people that got banned aren’t liberal.
Seems to me that "conservate, buts" have been a big part of the problem around here, and in our politics. But, that 's just me...
Just because I would love to know the answer .. in case I'm ever stuck in a building that needs to be evacuated
How would you handle evacuating a building that can hold up to 50,000 people with only a few exits ??
Right now you say it's because of Rudy supporters, but what'll it be next week - Freepers who wear black socks before Labor day?
My FreeRepublic has been usurped by a pack of hyenas who are feeding off the carcasses of good thoughtful posters that I have come to know through my many years here.
Yes, FreeRepublic is no longer free - and that breaks my heart.
Then why did they support taxpayer-funded abortion, homosexual marriage, euthanasia, gun-grabbing and unprotected borders?
15,126 posts, and you still haven't read the article, eh?
Paging Laz!
Hear! Hear!
Thanks for all you do!
The Port Authority of New York had a lot to do with the Twin Towers. Not sure of the details. Still, if a building was bombed before by a foreign terrorist group, it should of become a public safety issue anyway?
Yea well .. we all aren't as perfect as you, EV
The incivility began when it was made plain here that you cant support a particular candidate.
***No, the incivility began a few months ago when a bunch of activists for a socially liberal candidat started agitating on this socially conservative forum. Go back over the rudy threads from a few weeks ago and you’ll see it that they were denigrating socons and other conservatives like Reagan to bolster their candidate. Now they have their own forum and they can be as mean as they want to eachother & support whatever liberal scheme strikes their fancy.
The Point...."mr I insult people for no reason", is that until you pony up $80,000 a quarter, this is a forum supported by members.......and just like a bad movie theater, it will go out of business if the customers are not happy...... How's my punctuation?
I don’t know. But if it had just been bombed and I took over as mayor I would certainly start looking for a plan.
