Thank you. And I apologize for posting something you had to remove on Friday.

BTTT.

RJayneJ, can't Jim Robinson win some kind of award for HIS essays -- like this one? :)

[hope]

". But I know Jim Rob is a big enough man to accept criticism"

Of course he is...Now are you a big enough man to respect his request?

[Sursum Corda]

I heard you loud and clear.

Your regulations are prudent, to say the least.

I am at a loss to understand how someone can moan that their freedoms are being abridged on FreeRepublic when they are under no obligation to visit this site.

God bless and let us as a country not forget the tenets of the Just War doctrine as we move forward and seek to erradicate the evil of indiscriminate terrorism.

Sursum Corda

You are so right! God Bless the USA! On to total victory!

I just remembered something I saw on CNN today. There was a news anchor in front of a big map and standing beside him was Retd. Gen. Wesley Clark. Before they started talking the anchor actually said that they wanted to make it clear that since they did not want to give the ENEMY any information, they would be careful about what was said. I was stunned when I heard that! I remembered the CNN folks hounding Colin Powell and Norman Schwarzkoff during the Gulf War, wanting every bit of info about troop movements etc. And if I remember right, Bernard Shaw said that since they were journalists, THEY COULDN'T TAKE SIDES! Well this guy took sides today, and boy was I proud! I cannot remember his name, but I'm sure some other Freeper might know.

[mlibertarianj]

I missed those! My Bad!! Thanks!!

I'm not very bright. Please point out where JR says he wants to curtail any freedom.

I'll put the critical quotes in bold for emphasis:

"This is not the time to raise doubts about our leaders."

"This is not the time to raise conspiracy theories."

"This is not the time to second guess our intelligence agencies. This is war."

I can only conclude from these quotes that anyt posts which do not parrot the official war party line will be censored. This is fascism, pure and simple. It's a Nazi-like culture. This is not America as I understand America.

Note that I have no issue with not allowing the posting of militarily sensitive information which may compromise the security or success of actual military plans and operations. But the quotes above go way way beyond that, don't you think?

Arator, move to Afganistan.

[Huck]

My sincere thanks, Sir.

[summer]

You too.

[2ndMostConservativeBrdMember]

Feel free to sound the siren on me anytime you need to. I'll gladly go to the dog-house to protect our Country, our Leaders and our Military!

That's no sacrifice at all compared to what THEY will sacrifice.

[Southern Federalist]

Thank you, sir.

Because: Frankly, if you do not want to see our president lead our nation and the world to victory, then, go elsewhere. Really, this is NOT the time to putz around.
