The fight that Free Republic is embroiled in is broader and farther-reaching than just the relatively small group of people involved. The U.S. Constitution is the foundation upon which our democracy is built. Its first and foremost amendment is being challenged in the name of monetary gain.
Great find ER! Thanks for the ping CD. The author is "dead-on" correct in her summation minus the democracy mistake. It all boils down to monetary gain vs Constitutional right. I believe that in the end FR will win the case. The sad part is that if FR loses it will be a loss for all Americans not just us.

That's not sad! It means we're fighting for what's important and right. May all our battles have that quality.

I don't agree with that at all.
I think Jim Robinson and FR have unleashed an unstoppable conservative force.

FR as we know it might cease to exist, but I think one day we'll read about Jim and this site in the history books.

Just my $0.02.

Any government with elected representatives is liable to be called a democracy, even if it's a republic with a constitution.
