Strangely, after being banned for an eon, my ability to post was restored. I am neither a “Conservative” nor a “Liberal”. Back in the early 90’s and aftet the site became a rocking, unmoderated free for all, there was room for all and all gave as good as they got. It was exhiliratingly free! Alas, JimRob acquired Mods and the Clintons were gone, and the site became cleaned up. Still the best place for news. Then the Times decision. Evenso, it still remains a source for man on the scene reportage, don’t know a smarter, savvier bunch. I do hope many of my fellow Banned Ones return along with their wit, wisdom, passion and contrarian points of view. Tolerance for all views, without descending to invective, was how Americans got along til we became “Balkanized” into pressure groups fighting against one another. This is Independence Day and I feel old and very alone in my celebration. I spend my day reminiscing about my America, a place even my own children cannot conceive of, a free place where no one word was labelled “hate speech.” How quickly freedom is being taken away.
