We see a world where our freedoms are eroding, where so many of us feel our voices aren’t heard, and you’re telling people to shut up. Were it up to you, unless you are linking to a news story that half of us heard an hour ago, you should keep your mouth shut. The free flow of ideas is what democracy is about. You have the option not to listen (or read as the case may be). I’ll grant most of the vanities are exactly that and from someone who would like some validation——so what. With what we just went through, it’s understandable.

Some vanities have worthwhile thoughts in them, but you would throw away the wheat with the chaff. There are a lot of new people on FreeRepublic due to the recent buying of the Presidency; give them a chance to fit in. Dictitorial edicts such as yours belong on the Daily Kos or the Dummy underground.

Were Thomas Paine alive today, he would be posting Vanities and you would want to stifle him.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO READ THE VANITIES, but it might not hurt you to read them.

Dude! :-O
You DO realize you are ‘talking back’ to one of the ‘parents’ here at FR, don’t you?

Yikes. Please, let’s not be like the moonbats and eat our own!
Everyone’s feeling kind of fragile now, let’s not take it out on each other.

How about Chucky Schumer instead? He’s open game!

Go ahead, you know you want to...
