“...witch hunts...”
You have a good point.
I’ve been coming to Free Republic a long time, and have used two different names due to a move from one locale to another, and one of my pet issues is picking unnecessary disputes with other posters.
I don’t care if someone else’s spelling or grammar is terrible, or if they have an opinion different from mine, but I care very much that they NOT attack another freeper from informing the rest of us about creeping government censorship, which is occurring incrementally, and the attack is phrased in ‘snarky’ terms.
Right now banks are collapsing in Spain. These banks received huge loans from banks in England and Germany, to which U.S. banks have lent huge sums, and all the collateral is hypothecated (the same collateral used over and over and over again). This portends the beginning of a domino effect, which over a year ago was predicted to run for about 10 days before collapsing the world’s economy, taking out the entire European and U.S. economies, and reaching to Japan and China. The collapse will be global.
Does this sound like I’m a paid operative of the White House? I want to get information out to people so they can best position themselves in the onrushing economic storm, which may just cause the Obama Administration to impose nation-wide Martial Law and suspend the Constitution.
This, and the attempts by the Obama Administration to control news outlets and groups like Facebook and Youtube, should scare the Hell out of people.

No, but once you get the paranoia ball rolling, reason tends to disappear pretty quickly.
creeping government censorship
This isn't government censorship. Facebook isn't the government.

Why should I believe that this had anything to do with the Obama administration? Is it just because it seems to follow along with its agenda? From 2001-2008 I saw lots of people zotted for expressing opinion contrary to the agenda of the Bush administration. Was Free Republic a pawn of the White House, or was it just on the same side? Those are different things.
Balance.
Thank you. Yes Spanish banks are crashing. The Greeks aren’t going to change a thing, and Germany and France are taking their ball home. You won’t hear this from the “all politics are local” obamaomaus, as they troll yet again for “constituency” groups.
The most recent let out of the bag...is the MILK SUBSIDY, because congress had no ability to pass an agriculture bill— due to expenses of Food Stamps...yikes. To buy farm state votes to continue URBAN spending they will never see
-but hey, that lets the dems yet again not have a budget and continue to rip off the few producers left.
This is not a time for “witch hunts”. It is a time for solidarity of central conservative tenets and principles. Lots of keyboard commando types have come onto FR in recent years. Distressing.
