FR has never been a “free speech” forum.

You mad, spermspitter? lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
As I said, it's really doubtful that I'd accept an invite to a house like yours, but I, and a LOT of others, did accept JR's, -- to his forum, to discuss the affairs of the day and to exercise our rights to speak freely. After a few years, JR started banning people for their political opinions, no matter how reasonably they expressed them. --- That's when I, and a lot of others, gave up on him. His physical disabilities got the best of him, and affected his mental health, imo.. You too should see a shrink..
I've honestly never seen an "anything goes" Paultatd be "reasonable. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

Well, there you go, proving once again that you're simply incapable of being reasonable. -- Really, get help..
You love Free Republic and JR.
You must a charming host, and everyone around dreams about being invited.
The Grifter is in it for the money, just like Glenn Beck, swindling the politically paranoid with his perpetual Begathons... WooHoo!
Really ? Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
I believe the author of the article recognized that. His objection was to his fundraising page which stated, "We are beholden to no political party,” and “... we are fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly.”
I could honestly give two turds about that site and the veggie that runs it. I posted once or twice about 10 years ago and was banned.

Two strikes and a weirdo like you would be out on most sites. But here on LF, you fit right in with the gatlin group..
You pinged ...
You are just another drag queen slowing the free exchange of electronic inter-communications.
ROTFLMAO@U...
As a self-professed potatoe peeler, is that all you can profess for and about your worthless life working in a mezzanine hall for twenty years?
Probably one reason he is so gaga over Trump, since the Trumpster looks to welcome Rudy the cross-dresser to the "team". Donald Trump Says Rudy Giuliani Could Be His Anti-Terrorism Guru Wow! That was a really intelligent post.
Sometimes, a picture can say a thousand words. Trump and Ghouliani make a cute couple, don't you think? And you're the one voting for the clown in the picture. The salary for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Baily clowns ranges from $85,000 to $92,000 a year. The rodeo clowns who distract bulls so riders can get away safely from them earn about $51,000 a year. Donald Trump’s yearly salary is $476,500,000. With that kind of income, I certainly would never call Trump a clown. But give me a 476 million dollar a year in income and you can call me a Otto Griebling. Otto Griebling was the prolific and influential Master Clown with the Cole Bros. and Ringling circuses. He was single most admired and respected American circus clown of the 20th century. Oh, what a shocker for you to learn that a clown can be admired and respected … after your failed attempt to make a disparaging remark.
But give me a 476 million dollar a year in income and you can call me a Otto Griebling. A highly paid clown is still a clown. A fraudulent extortion of money?
Well, sonny boy ... before long, he will be YOUR president.
Well, if you contribute to the site thinking you have the freedom to speak plainly, criticize Trump, and then get banned ... yeah, I'd say that was a fraudulent extortion of money.
Class action suit?
Pffft! I don't believe in rewarding people for stupid acts. Sign up on the site and post what you want. If you don't get banned, then consider contributing.
Some people are so afraid of or incapable of independent thought and independent speech that there is no way to help them,so they become cops. They only thrive in group-think situations,and they are only comfortable working in packs. Freedom scares them,rules make them feel safe,warm,and comfy,and enforcing rules when the odds are in their favor and they are the only ones with weapons makes them feel like the big boys their mommies told them they were. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Without his inherited wealth,that is about as close to an actual woman that he could hope to score with. BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO!

Yes, The Donald is likely to appoint you Czar of Transgender Bathrooms! I could not accept the job because I would have trouble comprehending a person’s life as a closeted transsexual. I have read the thing to understand about the life of a closeted transsexual is that they are endlessly posting stupid pictures and cartoons on a forum captioned with snide remarks. Another problem I would have accepting the job is that I would constantly be grasping for clues regarding what kind of behavior to expect from a closeted transsexual during his nerve-wracking struggle to fit in. Perhaps you can help me. Do you find your natural inclinations on how to act are wrong for you in your perceived gender life? When these “wrong” things come out for you, is it simply an awkward silence or sometimes mockery? Perhaps the biggest problem I would have in dealing with a closeted transsexual is the consequence indirectly implied above … that is self- loathing. By the way, how are you handling your problem with this? Hopefully this helps to explain why I could not accept the job and at the same time make your coming out aspect more understandable to those in your life.
I am confident that no one understands your grief given the facts that yukon is your kind of man.
Perhaps you should direct your questions to Ghouliani - he seems to be the one with gender-identity issues. Everyone should wonder about sarge's posts after all, he was a fan of yukon.
Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ... John 12:27
Everyone? I just checked my pings and that obviously in not the case. I only see my most dedicated fans, LF’s very own Three Stooges, still following me around and hanging onto ever word I post, so intently focused on me. Shucks … it feels good to be so highly admired.
But you want JimRom to keep money he got on false pretences?
Are you suggesting we use civil asset forfeiture to take the money? To answer your question, yes. Anyone dumb enough to give money to a site that censors political speech deserves to lose it.
Of course not, nor need it be - but that wasn't the point of the article to which JR was disingenuously responding. The article's point, which he ducked: "If Facebook has a right to turn itself into a clone of Huffington Post, then Free Republic has a right to turn itself into a volunteer propaganda organ for the Trump campaign. "But those of us on the right should take a deep breath and wonder whether adopting a policy of political uniformity—in this case, not loyalty to an ideology or even a party, but loyalty to a single man—is importing the same illiberal habits of thought that we denounce when we encounter them on the left. And the same hypocritical preening about how independent and free- thinking we still are." A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Given it probably takes less than $200 a year to run that website, and he manages to finagle more than 300K a year from it, I guess you have to admire his PT Barnum mentality. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Interesting expense report at https://secure.freerepublic.com/donate/budget. $7000 per month for "Systems and Programming"?! So sonny-boy has an $84K "job" at FR? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. FR bans those with higher than room temperature IQs.

“Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

... the Gatlin Group.
The Canary Clan is charged with the responsibility to search impartially for the facts or actualities of a subject or situation. It is eminently qualified to perform this charge by devoting considerable time, deep reflection, careful deliberation, and serious consultation to approach decisions without any particular ideology or agenda. The Canary Clan has a commitment to respect precedent, fairness and a determination to faithfully present the facts.
Long live freedom of speech, long live the Canary Clan and God Bless America!
