The boss has made it clear that FR is NOT a liberal debating society. I don't come here for debate of any type because the stated purpose is clear:
Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!
As I see it, the purpose is to champion causes that promote true Conservative principles in America. This is a site for pro-God, pro-gun, pro-life activism. I don't see how there can be nay room for debate on Mitt Romney, any more than one can debate the merits of homosexuality or murdering of the unborn.
“...the purpose is to champion causes that promote true Conservative principles in America.”
Speech codes, the new breakfast of ‘champions’.
