Why we should be worried about George W Bush (Euro-Aussebarf Alert!)

You all are being intellectually dishonest, and you know it. Regardless of what you believe in terms of Bush's effectiveness or politcal bent, it's clear that he's not the brigtest bulb in the chandelier. It's knee-jerk defensive reactionary arguments like the postings above that leave free-thinkers everywhere unable to accept or believe the rest of the Conservative agenda. You're doing your own cause harm.

Awfully arrogant, especially for a first post. You're doing your own cause harm: not that I give a damn.

Synopsis: I was banned again on FR for asking this question,and I'd like a few answers

I have now been banned by either a moderator or Jim Robinson himself,for the second time in less than a month.
The first time the alleged "sin" was "posting flames,flame baiting",and some other lame excuse I've forgotten.
Today/last night whoever did this was clearer. The "sin" was "bashing religion". Never mind the obvious face that any religion that can't stand up to a few questions is a pretty lame-ass religon to begin with,let's look into this a bit further. The truth is that in MY opinion I was banned both times for the same reason,and that reason is daring to ask embarrassing questions.

Some of FR's fundie Christians had posted that according to the US Constitution,ONLY Christians were "allowed to hold public office". I then made posts asking if non-believers like me,Jews,Buddists,Hindu's,or members of any other religious cults who were born in America were less than citizens.

I was immediately shut down and banned both times. The most recent was on the thread "The Seperation of Church and State",and was about remarks Lynn Cheney made recently.I have a couple of these saved to my hard drive in case they dissapear from FR.

My questions to JR are,"Were YOU the one who banned me,or was in a fundie monitor?",and if it WAS you,is it your and FR's official position that the US Constitution restricts citizenship rights to only Christians?


Is it YOUR position that Jews,for instance,can not legally hold public office in the US?

IF this is the case,aren't YOU "bashing" the Jewish and other non-Christian religions? Even if this isn't your opinion,isn't this the opinion of the fundies who complained and got ME banned.

I don't know about you,but I would call withholding citizenship rights from a group or groups of people because of their religious views to be "bashing" them.


I would also like to know if it wasn't you who banned me and you don't agree with the "Christian only" interpertation,WHY did you ban ME,and why DIDN'T you ban the posters making these claims?

-- Sneakypete made this post over at libertyforum.org, as you no doubt know.

[Jim Robinson]

So what? Who cares what he posted or where he posted it. He was suspended for the reasons I stated above.

[Rocko]

With six more years of GWB before us, how can this leftloon avoid working himself into a stroke?

[tpaine]

I care. - And so should you.

--- S-pete is an honest man, imo.

[Jim Robinson]

Well, he's misleading you on this one.

[f.Christian]

wow...WOW---WOW!

[tpaine]

I read the thread where he was banned, and saw no misleading statements on his part. Nor any in his LF post.
Can you answer his questions on that post?

[Cultural Jihad]

Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street holds all the nitwits.

[Jim Robinson]

Why should I? Have you ever seen a post by me where I suggested anything even close to his accusation? No. Because there are none.

And, yes, I suspended him myself. And the reasons are as I stated before: Excessive personal attacks and religion bashing.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Seems like there are a lot more newbies around lately who espouse the sophomoric tirades of the Tom Cruise-fawning, Rosie-admiring, money tree-hugging left.

School's out, I suppose.

[tpaine]

FYI. ---- VA is 'back in his hole' taking a little time out.

'back in his hole' taking a little time out.

Sneakypete.

[Cultural Jihad]

Nice graphic, RG!

[tpaine]

The only hole S'pete has ever been in was a foxhole, --- while he was defending your right to be a socialist-statist.

[Roscoe]

Our host already corrected your falsehoods and gave the real reasons Sneakypete was suspended yet again.

Give your anti-Freeping a rest.

[Roscoe]

Nice graphic, RG!

Second that.

[tpaine]

Two suckup sycophants present, can the third be far behind?

-- Watch out, or I'll call in Dan Day to chastize you all severely.

[Cultural Jihad]

Just because someone doesn't fall in lockstep with the irrelevant libertarian ideology is no reason to smear them with the socialist/statist label, tpaine. Roscoe is a very honorable person, and does not deserve to be smeared by the likes of you.
