Subject: Question about Mitt Romney Central post
Hi Jim,
My name is Emily Schultheis, and I’m a reporter for POLITICO. We saw this post on Mitt Romney Central alleging that RedState and Free Republic block Romney supporters from commenting: http://mittromneycentral.com/2011/10/29/red-state-and-free-republic-declare-war-on-mitt-romney-supporters-for-some-reason/
I just wanted to reach out and see if you’d seen it, and get your comment. Does Free Republic ban people from commenting? And if so, what are the criteria used?
Thanks,
Emily

Yes, I saw it:

And added my editorial comment and links to the end of the post and also posted comments to the thread.
Free Republic is a pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, pro-small government, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site. Governor Romney is none of the above. His record is that of an abortionist, gay rights pushing, gun grabbing, global warming advocating, big government, mandate loving, constitution trampling, flip-flopping liberal progressive with no core values. That and the fact that he is the chief architect and advocate for ObamaCare disqualifies him for any consideration whatsoever on Free Republic as a potential nominee for the presidency.
The mission of Free Republic is to restore the constitution as the supreme law of the land and to secure the blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our posterity. We do this by fighting for constitutionally conservative causes and candidates.
Liberal progressives and other enemies of the constitution and or of Liberty itself are not welcome here. Accounts registered here by liberal progressives and other assorted trolls, malcontents and disruptors will be removed on sight or at the convenience of the site administrators.
I have posted statements in this regard many times.
For example:

And here’s one specifically addressing Mitt Romney:

This may be a bit hard for partisans, progressives, socialists and RINOs to understand, but FR stands on principle first. The constitution and the first amendment guarantees our God-given rights to free speech, free press and freedom of association as well as our right to control the content, use and direction of our own personal private property and electronic printing press, i.e., freerepublic.com.
For God, Family, Country, Life and liberty!

BTTT!
I had a thread pulled in November, 2001. I’m still sore about it. Oh, and Laz corrected my spelling once.
Rock ON!
Nice response. :)
Conservatives who support the constitution really can’t afford to cooperate with any more leftward drift in the one party system the Rinos have devised. We will end up in labor camps and Obamaville stinky hippie tents in Mahattan will become the standard of living in America.
bttt
Thank you Mr. Robinson.
