I don’t ascribe political correctness to the owners of Free Republic. I don’t ascribe being afraid to them.
If that were true of them, they would not have founded Free Republic. It is very politically incorrect.
There are comments taken out of context and bandied about in the news media from time to time. What we do here is not done in a vacuum. My take is that Free Republic does not want just anything and everything somebody might post here to be fired around the world for people to abuse this site over. Therefore they have drawn some lines in order to have a degree of control over what is attributed to Free Republic or its members.
I don’t blame them one whit. You cannot trust people. Some posters have signed up on here just to post racism or whatever, in order to discredit Free Republic.
I support the site’s judgement to have a standard and a delete button. I might not always agree with the outcome, but more often than not, I do.
If I’m unwilling to abide what they do here, my option is to leave.
Neither does my post. It explains why allowing opposing viewpoints like PC does not threaten the conservative position because the truth will always stand the test of reason (and historical fact).

I general, I agree. I guess I’m expressing disagreement in this particular case, at least in the sense of having no access of appeal to this invisible “eye in the sky.”
