Go Get ‘em JR!
The 15th Va. Inf. Reg. approves of this message.
And your "Antis" are right on target!!
It would seem that even logical libertarians ought to stop at “gay marriage.” Some want the state to bow out of all marriage, but that’s like asking the state not to recognize people and forgetting why it ever did care about who’s married and to whom. Given that, why punk the system for the sake of something that even a minority of US homosexuals, let alone US people, would ever contemplate? And the matter of the wisest social approach to drug abuse isn’t a totally one sided debate — I’ve long advocated giving that issue back to doctors who in turn would have to be able to be held legally responsible for careless prescribing.
Oh, geez, could you be any more self-important?? George Washington you are not. The rhetoric here has become just as insufferable as that of DU.
For a few years this place was serious. Not anymore. It’s now little more than a lot of hot air. It’s no wonder your traffic is down & people are looking for other places to go. Thanks for the memories.
I had changed the hosts file on all of my computers to prevent even accidentally loading this site, and now I remember why. I will now uncomment those lines and leave your echo chamber, for good this time.
BTW, if you want to avoid FR, add these lines to your hosts file (/etc/hosts on most Linux systems, c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Win systems). Your browser will be redirected to Google when loading freerepublic.com.

you can check out any time you want... but you can never leave (but you can get zotted)
Well said. We will take the fight to them.
Huh?
Sorry, greyfoxx, but I simply don’t know what you’re talking about. I was not on the threads you mentioned, so no need to yell at me now. I tune out discord, so if you were fighting, even righteously, I wasn’t involved.
That’s probably why a lot of good folks have left FR, because we just hate the nastiness. Conservatives tend to be nice people, prone to politeness, which in politics can work against us.
GeronL, thanks for the info and explanation. “That site” doesn’t sound like a place I want to visit.
I have tremendous respect for what JR has done in creating and maintaining Free Republic. He has done much more than I ever will to advance the conservative political cause, and I applaud him for it.
From what I gather, his verbal fits and zotting are an attempt to bring the recent nastiness to a head and eject those responsible. That’s good.
Maybe things can get back to normal in time for the summer and fall campaign.

Opuses.
Well, Mr. Magoo or you can be a grownup and just not click on the bookmark.
libertarians and leftists will not stop at gay marriage. Check out this story about whats going on in Canada.

What about liberal moderators? Over the years I've seen several good posts removed by left-leaning moderators.
That is “Hear, hear!!!”
As in LISTEN UP! (not here, here...)
Thanks Jim.
I consider the guidelines that you have frequently given us on your site as really strong, well-marked side railings on an essential communication bridge within the Republic that we live in.
Not being perfect (yet), I may bump into your bridge railings now and then, but just FReep mail me a warning ticket and I’ll get back to staying away from those essential bridge railings.
Thanks for letting me use this magnificent bridge of FREE REPUBLIC all of these many years!
Let’s ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salute!!
Yes, more than one.
