If that's what you think of FR, Freepers, and Jim Robinson, then what are you even doing here? Is it that much fun to whine that you are being held down? JR isn't trying to squelch political expression, he's trying to keep this site from degenerating into a profanity-laced flame-war site like Yahoo! (which is why I left). If you want the freedom to cuss people, attack them personally, and post factually incorrect articles that attack conservatism, then you're at the wrong website. JR does let a lot of things go, so don't whine that there is some kind of Nazi crackdown here.

I want what conservatives have long told the PC left that they want -- free and open debate.

I've long opposed the PC Left, am a registered Republican (and card-carrying Libertarian), and have never voted Dem, because I imagined that conservatives were sincere in their stated desire for free speech.

Was I mistaken? Were such "conservatives" lying? Has FR became a forum with "sensitivity" over free speech?

I WOULD like EVERYONE to have the freedom to post whatever articles they like, and have the freedom to MAKE UP MY OWN MIND as to whether the article is factual or not.

If you prefer a place where Big Brother screens "factually incorrect" articles from your sensitive eyes, then perhaps I am in the wrong place. I seek a true conservative place -- not a PC conservative place.

Worth repeating: I want to read everything and MAKE UP MY OWN MIND what's true or not -- I don't want or need others to decide for me. True conservatives THINK FOR THEMSELVES.
