I am as Christian Right...

No. You're Christian Reich.

The Christian Right supports people like Palin.

TO AD MOD : First of all let me stipulate that you are the final arbiter of pulling posts. And this site belongs to Jim Robinson and he makes the rules. That is never in question. But I have a question regarding policy.

BUT FIRST A LITTLE PERSONAL AND POLITICAL BACKROUND:I have been here for over 10 years and had a personal interaction with Jim in 2004 when my son ran for congress here in NJ as a republican and he graciously allowed me to post an article in support of his candidacy. I worked for Ronald Reagan in 1980 as a surrogate speaker. And had the privilege of meeting him a few times. And in 1981 he appointed me to a federal commission. So I will never stand second behind any man in my devotion and love for the man and his principles.

My son was elected Natl Chairman of the College Republicans in 1993 in a hard core conservative take over of that organization that was bitterly opposed by the RNC. So my family and myself will not allow anyone to question our support for conservative principles. We have not just talked the talk but have walked the walk. President Reagan appeared with my son in various promotional videos supporting that organization and the cause of conservatism. My son was a delegate to the republican natl. convention this yr from NJ. So much for backround.

This Free Republic site has been tremendously useful to me and my family over the years as a great tool for education and honest intelligent debate.

But my encounter with poster roamer_1 has been very distasteful and the worst experience I have had in ten years as a freeper. This man only deals in opinion ( his ) and posturing ( as in HE represents true conservatism ) and crude vindictive attacks like calling me a lying sack of crap. And while GipperGal needs no defense from me ( she can obviously take care of herself ) I must tell you that she is one of the most well informed people I have ever encountered on this site. I have learned much from her posts about Sarah Palin. In fact I have printed out many of her posts for later study.

My question about policy is this: How is it that a single poster like roamer can threaten reprisals against me and GipperGal for not being a pure enough supporter of Reagan and then take credit for getting a post by GipperGal pulled for alleged transgressions against the memory of RR. ?

It is no exaggeration to say that I love Free Republic. But I fear if we allow the sort of Stalinist attacks against free and open debate by people like roamer who maintain their right to decide who is and who is not sufficiently conservative or Pro-Reagan we are heading for trouble.

That is all I have to say in my defense against these false attacks by raomer.
