how scary the Right can get.....

Post by callmeslick »

...and, let me start off by saying that I don't feel these loons are representative of anything beyond a small fringe of the American Conservative movement. Still, this guy's site is calling, none too subtly, for a violent revolution to 'restore American values'. What is hilarious is that I have posted there, maybe 5 times, from two computers under two different user-names, and they delete all my posts. Fast. What kind of 'American Values' does one espouse, if one is going to reject Free Expression right out of the gate?

Heh, years ago I signed up at the Democratic Underground forums, made one post and was banned.

exactly, Woody, it's tough to talk about democracy, if you only want to listen to people that agree with you.

If that was your point, then your title is a little misleading…

I don't know. I once read this obscure document called the Declaration of Independence that spoke to overthrowing the bonds of Tyranny of an oppressive government. I guess the men that wrote it were Loons. :roll:

I am not advocating Violence. the Civil war is the perfect example of what can happen in that case. but to call someone a loon because they dont like the direction of the Government is wrong, and you know it. the left does EXACTLY the same thing. GOD I hate one sided politics.
It is a fact that cannot be denied: the wickedness of others becomes our own wickedness because it kindles something evil in our own hearts.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

From the title, I thought this was one of ThunderBunny's posts. Took me a second to read "Right."

I'm extremely tempted to post a few comments in there pointing and laughing, even though they'd be immediately deleted. Honestly, part of me wants that sort of trash to secede. Good riddance, and don't let the 21st century hit you on your ass on the way out.

If you were to ask, you would plainly be told that there is no concept of freedom of speech on a privately owned board. I myself don't know how anyone expects such a concept to survive if they don't adhere to it completely, but hey, who knows. :P
