Someone commented on another blog that Jim Robinson, who is owner of Free Republic, banned over 25 long time posters today who all favored the repeal of Don't ask don't tell. Well it's his blog so he can do as he pleases, but it's still interesting to know.

Mod Note: We are a big tent here at liberty forest. We welcome all banned (and non-banned) Free Republic members!

He knocked off a lot of long-time members back in 2007 for supporting Giuliani or Paul. Just those two candidate's supporters were mass-banned.

Romney and probably really any non-Palin supporters are likely out the door around mid-2011. FreeRepublic is Palin worship central. Princess Palin must be treated with kids' gloves.

Redstate is all quiet on the issue.

Not a peep. Guiliani was a gay marriage support or civil unions supporter right though? I believe so maybe that's why they banned him.

They banned people who weren't on board with the Bush amnesty back in the day, too. That's when I realized somebody was politically confused. It took me a little while longer to figure out that it wasn't me.

Hotair selectively acknowledges the world around them. WIkilieaks cases in point: Tax-funded pedophile parties - not a word. Cuba bans Sicko? Front page.

From this "conservative forum" and the link provided above...
A couple more posters got zotted today.


Guess we need another reminder:

If you support the homosexual agenda you are anti-constitution and you'll get the zot from FR. Homosexuals already have the same "rights" as everyone else. God did not grant and the constitution does not guarantee homosexuals any special rights. In fact, the homosexual agenda is a full frontal attack on OUR God-given, constitutionally protected rights to free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, Life, Family, Marriage, Pursuit of Happiness, etc.

I don't want it on FR and won't have it on FR.

Like abortion, if you support the homosexual agenda on FR, your account here will be zotted!

Don't like it? Tough frickin Shinola! Get the hell OFF this conservative site!!

Never fails to amaze how those who shout "Constitution" the loudest have little to no knowledge about that document, or it's principles, especially when they spout off about god, and list those rights gays are being denied.

I guess in this asshat's eyes "Free" only includes white protestant male heteros, and everyone else can GTFO.

Nothing like democracy to give a few good laughs...


Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

The first was a group having a collective fit because the left was accusing them of being bigoted homophobes. The next thread started off with something about the sick perverted homosexual agenda.

Obama is using DADT as a tool to splinter the Tea Party coalition(s) into a civil war between Theocrats (posing as SoCons and NeoCons) and the FiCons/libertarians.


Meanwhile, Free Republic raises hundreds of thousands of dollars from useful ZioFundy idiots, yet cannot keep a dead simple text based site up and running. You can't even edit your posts, etc. It isn't hard or expensive to run 1996 software on 2010 hardware, yet FR often goes down and is always begging for more "donations."

If they used their donation $$$$ to stand up for Fair Use, I would be a supporter. But no, JimRob caved to RightHaven, ran (er, rolled) away like a little #^$$~, and let other sysops and bloggers fight for the recent court victory (re-)legitimizing Fair Use.

JimRob ignores the fact that other countries' armies are doing just fine, even without DADT. Even Holy Israel's (May Peace and territorial expansion be upon Her and may Jesus cause genocide to all who oppose, Amen) army is integrated!

I think that he's terrified of the ***** hiding under his bed and in his closet.

Or maybe he was regularly &%(&%$ in the %$(@! by his priest until he liked the taste of $%^.

That would explain his bigoted Fundy rantings most efficiently.

The bizarre thing is that JimRob claims to hate the "homosexual agenda" yet he never dares say a single word of criticism about the (gay and Jewish) Hollywood Mafia.

It's quite a ***** contradiction in his Freeper Pope ideology.:D

The issue of homosexuals in the military is part of the Marxist plan to destroy our society and our free nation.

I didn't know what the term "fragging" meant. I knew it meant kill, but I didn't know it came from Vietnam. Wiki says that it means to kill a superior officer. People used fragmentation grenades during the fog of war so that no specific person could be blamed, and it says that around 1400 junior officers may have been fragged.

Don't piss off the enlistees apparently. Underground newspapers even kept bounties out for killing unpopular ones.

This just tells me that Vietnam was dumb.

JimRob and his merry band of ZioFundy FagHunters have really gone off the deep end this time! It's like a weird inverse of LittleGreenFootballs. At least they can both agree on how glorious it is to run a site that kills dissenting discussion and worship at the feet of their Nutcase sysops.

It's asinine that so many are fooled by their money grubbing scam sites, and sad how much damage Obama will do to the Tea Party Coalition(s) by using DADT to catalyze conflict between TheoCons and FiCons/libertarians.

DADT gives the ZioCons that have been waiting to attack libertarians just the excuse they need to goad their fundy cattle into a profitable stampede of moralistic outrage.

To: All

Dear Jim Rob and company,

I just wanted to express my appreciation of your Christian love for your fellow man. I remember in the Gospels where Jesus called people “*****” and “****”. I wonder if You all use other epithets towards groups you dislike such a blacks or Jews. Are you against integrated military of blacks and whites as well? Because after all, that’s what Jesus would do.

You speak of Liberty, but it seems only Liberty your way. There is nothing that separates you from Barack Obama or Hugo Chavez but your name. You call yourself a conservative, JimRob, because you want to conserve the constitution. Where in the Constitution does it say to hate homosexuals? (or anyone for that matter) Where does it say in the Bible does it say to hate homosexuals? Yes, it says that homosexuality is a sin. It does not say anywhere to hate the sinner. In fact, He commanded you to love the sinner. He came to redeem the lowest and dirtiest with sin. Jesus said that no man is righteous, not one. There is only one judge of our souls, it is not you.

Now I know that you are going to label me as a stupid liberal. I will have you know that I have never voted for any democrat. The only RINO I voted for was McCain in 2008 (because I was voting against Obama.) I believe in Liberty and Freedom under the strict reading of the Constitution. I believe in government under the original intent. I believe that government should be a framework, not an overwhelming presence in the citizen’s every day life. I am pro-life. I believe the sanctity of life. Overwhelmingly, I believe in America.

You demean us with your knuckle-dragging calls of “****” and “***” In fact, you embody all the things people on the other side accuse us of being. If I believed in conspiracy theories (although I am not stupid enough to do so), I might think that you actually work for The Daily Kos and like the “Reverend” Fred Phelps, you are a democrat. Your hate genuinely does we, real conservatives, a disservice.

I have come to the conclusion that you are not you are not interested in Liberty at all, only imposing your version of America on everyone just like those you oppose. You may ban me and I will unable to post on your site, but you will still be hate-filled wheelchairbound absolutist. Unlike you, I do not hate you despite our disagreement. In fact in following in the Divine model of Jesus, I love you despite your mortal sin of wrathfulness. I pray for your soul.

Or maybe there are legitimate reasons to oppose the repeal of this law. I oppose it and I was never raped by a Priest and I'm not Catholic either.

I am here today because I would like to propose a new law; a law that sends home the soldier that has the problem. Our new law is called "if you don't like it, go home." A law that discharges the soldier with the issue, the law that discharges the soldier with the real problem, the homophobic soldier that has the real negative effect on unit cohesion. A law that sends home the homophobe, a law that sends home the prejudiced. A law that doesn't prosecute the gay soldier who fights for equality with no problem, but prosecutes the straight soldier who fights against it. Or perhaps that was a bit spun. ... To be fair, it sends home the straight soldier who fights for some freedoms, for some equalities, but not for the equality of the gay. He is the one — or she is the one — under this new proposition who will be discharged for disrupting the military. If you are not committed to perform with excellence as a United States soldier because you don't believe in full equality, go home.

Religious motivations? Not everyone adheres to the bible, and we aren't a theocracy (despite the best attempts of some citizens).

Some perceived mass exodus (pun)? Same thing was said when integration occurred. Didn't happen then either.

Considering that all related sciences agree that all classifications of human sexuality, ****-, bi-, and heterosexuality, share the same origins, I guess we heteros are "chemically imbalanced" as well.

And it is perfectly reasonable to compare "skin color" with homosexuality, considering the unreasoning, baseless discrimination the GLBT community faces.

What you are seeing over at Free Republic is the bleeding edge of the festering boil that has been seared onto the national consciousness of our country by the false left-right paradigm.

Some of those posts are just long strings of keywords that have been drilled into the brains of the sheep, backed by an overswelling over emotional drivel. They suffer from the same errant emotion-based reasoning that the "liberals" that they hate so much suffer from.

To date, the arguments in that thread have been posited as such: "Liberal Marxism *** *** hate Kill Destruction of our Country Pray for our Troops Kill the *** Troops Church church They Took Our Joorbs."

It's almost like watching someone in the last stages of severe schizophrenia right before their brain shuts down.

Wow. I have never been to Free Republic before, and now I am glad I never did. What a bunch of festering hate. Seriously, if gays being allowed to tell the truth about their sexual orientation in the military is their biggest beef with our government, that's pretty sad.

FR's move here helps the RPR more than it hurts it. Their numbers are shrinking, while ours grow. Separating the wheat from the chaff FTW.

Indeed. The more people they ban, the better. I hope we get some of their bannees.

Needs context:

John 8:31-32 -- To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

You could put anything behind the second half of his quote and it would be true. Because anytime truth is learned you are freed from the slavery of ignorance. Jesus is truth and is the father of it. He said that we should love our neighbor like we love ourselves, and contained within this is all the law and the prophets. What he meant is that when you do this first, all truth will come from it, because anytime you lie, you show a disdain for your neighbor. If you look at all the greed, lies, secrecy, corruption, etc that our country is suffering from and that we rail against on a daily basis, it all stems from a failure of one group of people, those in power, to love everyone else, instead they look down them. They fail to follow Jesus' greatest commandment, and all of our other isssues stem from this.

So indeed, if you learn the truth, you will be free indeed.

You could probably populate a mid0sized town with all the persons "banned" from Not-So-Free Republic.

I wear it as a badge of honor.

Is serving in the military a constitutional civil RIGHT?

Can anyone just march into a recruiting office and demand his constitutionally guaranteed civil RIGHT to serve? Or does he first have to qualify? Mentally, educationally, physically, healthwise, morally, etc?
