On the right, we’ve grown to pride ourselves on our greater openness to debate and ideas, on having no need to toe a Politically Correct line or crawl into a “safe space” like pampered college kids who just can’t handle hearing from anyone who disagrees with them.
For myself, I am so personally dedicated to this ideal that I even perform the great personal sacrifice of reading the comments field beneath my articles.
Yet somehow I wasn’t surprised to see Donald Trump supporters, those swaggering tough guys, turn one of their favorite Internet forums into a safe space where they no longer need to encounter criticism or opposition. Earlier today, Free Republic proprietor Jim Robinson announced that the discussion board would no longer tolerate opposition to Trump’s candidacy.

Most of the time when I post elsewhere about Trump my post never gets on the board or it gets deleted. This was also true DURING the heat of the campaign when Cruz supporters posted freely on Free Republic.
Red State should change its name to Red Square state. NEVER were you allowed to disagree with management in that place.

I’m sorry to see that. However, if libbylu can be reinstated, there is hope for all.
You’re probably thinking of C Edmund Wright, who apparently tries to make a living out of shoveling his execrement (which BTW I’m sure he would contend emits no odor!)

Well, it’s actually an altered name. Yeah, I didn’t notice it at first either.
Not to be confused with “nathanbedford”, who appears to still be a FReeper in good standing.
I don’t always agree with him, but I like the guy.

Ah, good catch, and agreed.
Correct!
He said, “You (all) do good work over there.”
Yep. That's the guy who answered my simple question of whether it matters if Boeing makes planes in America or China by telling me that I need to educate myself about conservative economics, because it's been proven that tariffs always do more harm to the country that imposes them than the country they are imposed on.
What were those stupid founding fathers thinking?
I was anti-Trump - thought he was a vanity candidate running to promote his TV show till that speech - it was like lightning to me.
YOU have excellent taste and YOU looked beautiful (as always) that day.
Please thank Mr. T for sending me that photo of you.
And they aren’t aliens. The are from our future come back to guide us. Don’t you know anything? Sheesh.
Dang! Now I feel zot deprived...
Of course this is a typical "invented" statistic of the type that nobby-kneed Saul Alinsky acolytes use all the time.
Scumbag leftwing castrated trolls like you are like puss oozing from a infected wound...In this case the wounds from months of heated political debates.
IMHO, JR is too considerate to sissy-boys like you.
What is his best book, your feelings and why.
Sounds like a great Kindle reference book. One, you like to read a small part and keep coming back for more.
Thanks

Wasn’t it some old RINO who said that “Libertarianism is the heart of conservatism”? Who was that.....
He wouldn’t be welcome in the GOPe today, much as they love to claim they all supported him. I remember. Oh yes I do.
:) Thank you, gorgeous.
I’ve always pictured the pompous ass MUCH older.
IF that’s a recent photo, no wonder he’s so sensitive regarding his bonafide’s! ... LOL.
I am Spartacus...

Looks like his account is still active?
Boy, there must have been a lot of stuff happening on 2/20. Guess I missed a lot of things that day, LOL. Wow.
I had never had an issue with him at all; seems like he was a little ticked off that day and the day before.
