I disagree. Respecting the written statement of the founder of this site is not fearing "reasoned debate". Comparing that respect to what goes on at DU is insulting.

You misunderstand me. I don't disrespect either the founder nor of his statement. But many Freepers don't subscribe to every facet of the statement, nor do they necessarily accept the social aspects of it as a priority for the Nation. We're not talking about respect. Those who throw the statement up continually are attempting to show that the statement is akin to one of the sacred documents of this Nation and to disagree with anything it says is to prove one does not belong here on FR. Today, one of the great Freepers of all time was banned simply for her support of a Republican candidate and for her eloquence and keen ability to articulate why we as Republicans should all come together to defeat Hillary.

That respect you refer to has manifested itself in some disgusting tactics, obscene insults, and continual threats of zotting. That is what I am comparing to DU, not the founders statement nor the respect we all have for it.

I hope everyone that cares sees your statement and now knows why Mia is no longer posting

That's a first, but I guess you nailed it.

Hardly.

She also managed to try to define the basic concept of pro-life downwards, and also tried to imply that Fred was in the race just to draw votes away from Rudy.

Rudy booster nonsensical attacks on Fred have become hazardous to one's posting privs on FR. Especially when they support a guy with far, far more liberal warts than Fred and have no problem with that.

Here's how you define pro-life downward:

And if you help to elect hillary clinton, you must bear the responsibility for all the deaths of all the children, unborn, living, and not yet even imagined that will flow from that election.

Those are the facts. You may not like them. They may disturb your idea of 'pro-life' as viewed through the narrow lens of abortion.

So to MiaT, if someone refuses to vote for pro-abort Rudy, they are responsible for pro-abort Hillary.

As opposed to the Rudy supporters being responsible for pushing a pro-abort candidate for the nomination in a pro-life party. It's a complete cop-out on their part, so they try to blame those who are aghast at what they are trying to do for being unwilling to be complicit in such an action.

After all, every day in this country, abortion kills as many Americans as the 9-11 attacks did.

My "bravo" was meant for you.
