Of course, Jim Robinson has it wrong. We're not at war. Tell it to the Marines. Or the Army. Or the grieving families of 911. Or, for that matter, the dead Taliban leaders.

2 points, first the obvious one: this is Mr. Robinson's site, and if he doesn't like someone's ideas, grammar, or tone of voice, he isn't under the slightest obligation to let them hang around, any more than he would be in his own house.
Second, as I understand the blurb on the front page of FR, this is not meant to be a general chat site. It has a pragmatic goal: to be a place where people Mr. Robinson considers conservatives can put their heads together and plot the good of America. I think the problem on FR now is that there are too many totally incompatible viewpoints butting heads here, so that on lots of threads there's no room for the kind of strategizing and thinking things through together that was visible here during the Florida election crisis - just total war with those who think America's war against terrorism is "Satanic" and that Palestine ought to be Judenrein. So I would think it perfectly understandable if Mr. Robinson were even more restrictive -- even if it meant cutting me out, it would make the Forum more efficient for the goals for which he founded it.
People who come on a privately-owned website and then whine "censorship" when the owner doesn't choose to let them perform there should get no respect from anyone with a more than one-cell brain.

Those of us below President Johnson and his advisors were at war. What we didn't realize at the time was that they weren't.

Scary stuff. Censorship of ideas is a page right out of the NKVD, Stalin's secret police. I expect more from FreeRepublic. Looks like the NWO is everywhere. Time to find a discussion site that treats the first amendment better than toilet paper. Any suggestions?Yes. Read The Gulag Archipelago -- again and again, if necessary -- until you can tell JimRob from Yezhov.
If still unable to make that distinction, trot your campaign someplace else.

Agreed! I've seen a few of Michael Rivero's posts here. This guy makes the worst Art Bell foil-hat X-Files nuts around look good. (I'm not trying to insult people who watch the X-files in general, just some of the people who watch it and think that it's a documentary, not fictional entertainment.)
Mikey's just bent out of shape because J.R. told him to take it somewhere else.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. May I suggest the DU. Seems to be more your style.

>> I guess you missed my posts where I said that I am 100% behind our President and the war. << You're demonstrating the problems of taking a sound-byte (post-byte?) without understanding the context of the post that it was taken out of.
I know it's a real drag to have to abide by rules. Deal with it.
To: Vigilant1
Was it the right thing for the German people to unquestioningly back Hitler because there was a war on? Or would the German people (and the world) have been better served taking a pause and a closer look at just what the government was doing? How absurd to compare President Bush to Hitler! It's the same as comparing good to evil--however, the good only shows how evil the evil was.

Mike is hardly an Art Bell that makes money selling ideas.

...so let the author put that in his pipe and smoke it
After extensively reading his website, I've come to the conclusion that the last thing he needs is more to smoke.

The truth, as always lies somewhere in between. NOT in the case of mr -
- he HAS an agenda and seeks to FULFILL that agenda at every opportunity.
Now as to my 'loopiness' - better back that up with a cite (here, I'll help you with that: post a LINK to ANYTHING that is 'far out' here on FR) or risk being called an outright liar and a slanderer of the first order ...

I see it as Jim Rob allowing us in his home for a while to chew the fat- if he doesnt like what kind of tone were using or our name - thats his right to toss us out - FR is his property - He lets us come here - If it were a public entity, public rules would apply - until then, we abide by private property rights (LLC) of course.
Arent you done dissenting - If you dont care for it -return to DU or L.C or the liberal rag newspaper you came from

BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh too funny. And if you had left your balls on, what regular FR screen name would you have used?

I think what we have here is an excommunicated member of FR.
