“It really ain’t all that different from 1999.”

Yes. In May 1999 I and others were banned for defending the Bush family and the CIA from absurd charges by JimRob.

At that time, JimRob vowed he would lead an armed revolution if George W Bush was elected President.

You also have to realize the conservative movement was mired in the conspiracy swamps back then, just as the lefties are stuck in such swamps now. We've long since mucked our way out. Those on the right who have not escaped the much have fallen to various strata in the seven levels of internet purgatory.

However, the problems with Rudy are political in nature and clearly documented. So the two are hardly the same. Rudy and his boosters want to take the party to the far left of its normal range. Perhaps even beyond. However, the SCOTUS PBA decision last week reminded conservatives just how important a pro-lifer is as the GOP nominee. And I think that was the tipping point for the more aggressive Rudy boosters here on FR.

Yes. Then it seems Mr. Robinson compromised in the hope that the GOP would promote the same objectives he started FR to promote, if only the GOP had the Presidency and the House.

Many screen names that questioned if that would be the case were banned, very similar to what is happening now.

Then the GOP could only promote those objectives if they only had control of the Presidency, House and Senate.

The GOP had it, then lost it when Jeffords jumped.

Same scenario after that, if they only had control of the Presidency, House and Senate.

Finally the GOP had it, not much appeared to happen regarding the objectives.

Then the GOP could only promote those objectives if they only had control of the Presidency and super-majorities in the House and Senate.

Many screen names that questioned if that would be the case, even if it were possible were banned, very similar to what is happening now.

And here we are. It appears that Mr. Robinson may have grown tired of waiting and decided not to compromise anymore.

"At that time, JimRob vowed he would lead an armed revolution if George W Bush was elected President."

That's a flat out lie and deliberate misrepresentation of my stated position.

My statement was in regards to a Peggy Nooman Op Ed piece published in the Wall Street Journal making light of presidential past peccadilloes and youthful dope using and saying basically that in these modern days, it's no big deal if presidential nominees have smoking dope or coke snorting in their backgrounds. After all, she implies, we (the collective we) all did it in our college days.

I blew up at basically told her and the WSJ through my post that that was B/S. If it's going to become normal for political parties, newspapers and pundits to push off on the people that it's perfectly ok and normal for their presidents to be dopers then it's time to consider the alternatives spelled out for us by Thomas Jefferson.

Too bad you're so stupid and full of hate for people who take conservative pro America, pro liberty positions (even if not fully inline with the GOP) that you can't understand the plainly written word.
