One of the strongest supporters of Islamic terrorism is our mainstream media.

The media works hand-in-hand with Congress, the majority of which is evil and apparently dedicated to the eradication of America's Constitution and its people.

“illogical left-wing garbage” is exactly what it is.

We should attack PC directly, and to use the very techniques used against the right; reference Chomsky’s Rules for Radicals.

-Make the liberals live up to their own impossible standards. Make them account for every hypocritical inconsistency of PC.

-Are THEY tolerant of different lifestyles, religious AND POLITICAL beliefs? Are they as tolerant of conservatism as they are of Islamic extremism? Or are THEY in fact the very monsters they scream are under the bed?

-Freeze, isolate, marginalize and dehumanize the hypocritical bastards. THEY are the monsters, THEY are not normal Americans, THEy are destructive to America.

-THEY are not American patriots. WE are.

-After all, THEY really ARE the monsters, whether they know it or not; Marxism/Communism has killed 100 million plus in the 20th century. And THEY want to try it again.

JMHO

I kill PC every day and it’s worked quite well... those who can’t handle it have learned to stay away.

PC is alive and well among the self appointed censors on Free Republic.

If this country doesnt start profiling, these terrorists will get more bold with each attempt. Maybe if we kept them ALL off planes coming into this country, their own people would turn them in.

As far as main stream media, I quit watching ABC, NBC and CBS for news, I watch fox. My husband buys our local newspaper for local news and I am even trying to have him stop that. If people stop watching/reading they will be talking to themselves.

However, I dont think the american public is stupid. I think most people in this country, no matter what their political party, knows very well whats going on...and we dont need talking heads to tell us about it, either.

Oops, that was Saul Alinsky who wrote Rules for Radicals, not Chomsky.
Sorry.

I haven't had anything censored since I signed on to FR, and as a right-winger I can be extremely outspoken.

Can you cite specific incidences?

“The notion of political correctness declares certain topics, certain expressions, even certain gestures, off-limits. What began as a crusade for civility"

I so disagree that was ever true. While some folks may have gone along with or 'joined the cause' with altruistic inclination the leadership and movement was never about a crusade for civility. It was when it started and is now about 'social justice'.

A good example are the December threads where posters were threatened and called in eir buddies to send notes to mods.

I, too, disagree with that so-called original intention.

That incident appears as though a gaggle were attempting to harm this website!

No, they were promoting their own narrow agendas

Eddie2 was banned for saying W was shooting himself in the foot sometime after W’s second election. That’s censorship.

...although, now that you mention it, I *have* never seen them in a room together. /sarc>

I cut out the MSM (now LSM) long ago, never read the NY Times. Have gun and mouth (a serious weapon in my case)and am ready to battle PC. PC is vicious and the weapon of mass destruction used to destroy our culture.

You’re 100% correct. As a former liberal I’ve been trying to tell conservatives that while it’s perfectly laudable to ‘’take the high road’’ and discuss issues rather than launch ad hominems and this is still a good course of action, the times have changed. The Left, although still without an arguement, isn’t interested in debate. It’s fixated on personal destruction, witness the treatment of Sarah Palin. And as such it’s time to take the gloves off with a combination of facts and truths delivered with a strong verbal left-hook. Trust me, this is the only language the Left understands and respects. It shuts them up, literally.

I had some comments censored about the percent of blacks in jail and how it's their culture that is the problem. I also had an animation of Superman giving Obama the finger behind his back censored. Other than those two times my 12 years here has been uncensored.

The worst censorship I had was by leftists. On a Linux site , Somebody posted a bunch of pro Obama bumber stickers. I responded with a few anti Obama graphics of my own. They kept the bumper stickers and bumped mine.
