I could not possibly disagree more. We need to see this stuff right from the mouths of those advocating it. The majority of America doesn't yet understand where the radical leftists want to take us, and pooh-poohs conservatives who warn what's coming. Seeing articles like this from mainstream media which are respected in liberal circles, not just from allegedly biased conservative publications, gives us the ammunition needed to prove our case.
If we have any hope left of turning our country around, it will center on giving articles like this the widest possible attention to wake Americans up before it's too late.

That, MKJessup, seems like the right approach.

I understand the argument that highly offensive and explicit stuff doesn't belong in a “family publication” where unsuspecting readers, including children, might see it. However, Free Republic isn't designed for children. It is designed for conservative activists. We need to have access to these things, but at the same time, posting the headline and an excerpt, as MKJessup suggested, seems like a good compromise so people who don't want to see this kind of stuff don't have to see the gory details.

That is absolutely right, and it is why we need to see these articles for what they are — early warning signs of what's coming over the horizon.
I stated my pov, you stated yours. That is the base principle of Free Republic. Enjoy and support it.
