I wish they would post a list of verboten topics so that we know when we might be straying.
I'm so disillusioned right now. Free Republic doesn't give squat about the invasion from the South - an invasion that can't be countered simply by voting Republican because, soon, we'll be outnumbered by invaders. Sure, we can post all the latest Chelsea Clinton gossip from the various trashloids (nipple shots and barf pics) - but we can't post anything from those who are actually, legally doing something about one of the most significant problems facing our republic right now.
I'm also disillusioned for another unrelated reason. The 2nd Vice President of the National Rifle Association came to town last Friday night to speak at the SouthEast Arizona Republican club meeting. I was annoyed with the NRA earlier this year when the endorsed openly gay dirtbag reconquista RINO Jim Kolbe over the more conservative true Republican Jim Behnke in the primary election for Congress. At the time I was told, but really didn't want to believe, that the NRA chooses who they endorse for political reasons - not because the candidate has done well on gun votes or is a stronger 2nd amendment advocate - but purely for political reasons.
During the Q&A section of the meeting I brought that up to the NRA VP. And she confirmed that the endorsement is almost purely a political decision and that the greatest weight is given for a candidate who "carried the NRA water" behind the scenes. So, in effect, she said that the NRA endorsement and grades are only for the naive voters. That they do not mean that the candidate is strong on gun rights and 2nd amendment issues but that they have done "favors" for the NRA and the NRA owed them something in return.
Meanwhile, in a few years, we'll be logging in to www.RepúblicaLibre.com because someone didn't want to let people report on or talk about the invasion occuring along our southern border.
