Thanks for the heads up on the pulled reply. Freerepublic is such a great source of information that is not available from the mainstream press, it is sometimes easy to forget that the webmaster has his own agenda, as we all do, I suppose. Make no doubt, there are limits placed on the information that can be shared here. It is still one of the best alternatives to the propaganda machine called mainstream media.

Maybe it is time to change the FR Wecome message.

Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.

May I suggest: "to root out Democratic political fraud and corruption. Republican fraud and corruption is okay."
