Jim may not get to decide who anyone votes for, but HE DOES get to decide who will be FReepers.
Last I checked we still had a Constitution that allowed each free standing citizen to vote for whomever they wanted. To say otherwise is anti-American.
Jim isn't saying that anyone can't vote for whoever they want, Jim is simply saying that FR won't be used to promote certain candidates.
Free Republic is Jim's PRIVATE PROPERTY, free speech DOES NOT APPLY HERE. There is NOTHING more American than a person's right to their own private property.
Well said!
