1.Kids should be off limits, especially young kids;
2.FR should not feel compelled to answer questions about morality from someone who lies - namely someone who introduce themselves as ‘an independent writer’ and then posts to Daily Kos…nothing independent about that, in any sense of the word;
3. As for the question: “Does Free Republic condone this type of exercise in free speech?” Simply put yes. The exercise of free speech is the whole point, isn’t it? That the content of individual’s statements may be offensive to some, and/or unrepresentative of posters as a whole should not and does not detract from the valuable exchange of ideas or their very expression. There was a time when liberals believed in free speech too, but that time has long passed.
Excellent post!
