If this thread isn't a natural setup to begin the December FReepathon a few days early, I've never seen one ;-}
Thank you. I take that as a high complement.
I would have been the most devoted and loyal FReeper here had only my right (and the right of many of my FReeper friends) to express our CONSERVATIVE political views freely been respected and met with fierce counter-argument instead of censorship. But, being a freedom-loving CONSERVATIVE American, I don't take kindly to bullying, abusive cult-like intimidation tactics, and just plain tyranny from any quarter. Finding such behavior here at the web's foremost "conservative" forum was as shocking a discovery as I've ever had to make. It is so incongruent with everything conservatives claim to stand for. And yet, there it is, in all its perverse ugliness right here on FR. I can do nothing else but speak out against it, and be banned for my trouble if need be. I can only wonder why more freedom-loving FReepers don't do the same.
