"I am talking about many, many issues and posters I have come across on FR that despise the GOP, George Bush, and other conservatives on those issues. (My FR home page lists just a small sample.)"

This is the essence of FR... ( at least I hope it still is ) That everyone can come and engage in a free and sometimes wild political discourse.

This is not an "only like us " only forum - diverse viewpoints are welcome and it gets really boring when they don't show up.

Very...VERY rarely have the "powers that be" pulled what I might consider a ligitemate thread. and that is their right
.. they own the floor...

How can you defeat the enemy if you do not engage them ?

I completely agree and am not calling for anyone to be censored or banned by any means as long as they are legitimate (i.e. not trolls). That being said, one of my biggest beliefs in politics is that the conservative movement has made great strides in many, many areas over the last couple decades because it has routed out the fringe right elements once pretending to be conservatives and giving the whole movement a bad name. Our ability to isolate these bozos has led to great success whereas it is what is crippling the DNC and the Left on the national level.
