I would also be interested in a response to this.

As far as I could tell, the problems on the other thread were the result of P-Marlowe raising LEGITIMATE CONCERNS over plans to curtail the First Amendment.

If FR wants to have an ongoing thread about getting rid of the RINOs, count me in, I am behind that 100%. I openly supported Sarah Palin for VP months before most FReepers knew who she was. I think these can be great threads, IF they stick to their stated goals. I am even willing to ignore the fact that they are supporting a RINO in Massachusetts.

I can understand that the moderators were upset about the other thread, but I don’t recall any moderators doing anything on the thread prior to locking it. Did things get out of hand on the other thread? Probably. But if “bad things will happen to their accounts” for being in a flamewar, there probably wouldn’t be many FReepers left.

Since I was the one who apparently started the supposed "flame war" by voicing my opinion that no matter what we think of Islam as a religion, there is no Islamic exception to the first amendment and any proposal to prohibit the building of mosques in this country is a violation of three prongs of the First Amendment including the right to religious liberty, the right of free speech and the right of assembly.

So xzins and wags, since I dragged you into the fray on the last thread, I can't leave you guys out there on your own. As Ben Franklin said when signing the Declaration of Independence "We must all hang together or most assuredly we will all hang separately". Since you guys have put your necks on the line, consider mine as being on the line as well.
