If you support the homosexual agenda (DADT), you're no longer welcome at Free Republic
This is from Jim Robinson, the guy who runs that cesspool called FreeRepublic.

If you support the homosexual agenda you are anti-constitution and you'll get the zot from FR!

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!!

Some other posts on that thread by Jim Robinson..

To: All
And if you support open homosexuals in the military, then you support Obama and the left’s long-term campaign to destroy our country. The issue of homosexuals in the military is part of the Marxist plan to destroy our society and our free nation. It will destroy our military, our defenses, our national security and eventually cost us our freedom!

If you support the homosexual agenda you support the destruction of America. You are NO conservative!! Get the hell OFF of FR!!

FR is NOT a fricken liberal debating society. It’s a God, Family, Country, Life and Liberty liberal-free zone. If you don’t know already where you stand on these fundamental issues of God-Given Liberty without debate, then you sir are NO conservative!! You are either an evil democrat ally or gutless wonder RINO!!

How many times must I tell you that I do not want it on FR!!!!

You are absolutely 100% correct. We do not support any of the left’s anti-Liberty platform on FR!

Abortionists, homosexualists, wacko environmentalists, militant feminists, pacifists, gun-grabbers, globalists, statists, liberals, progressives, socialists, communists, Marxists, traitors, cowards, RINOs, and other assorted and sundry leftist or political whores can all stay the hell off of FR!!

89. Good???? It's fucking dangerous.
The majority of all branches of the millitary lean right (even though we have a decent chunk of service people on our side). My problem with the repeal is that it doesn't go far enough. Hate crimes will rise in the millitary. And the right wing side of the branches do read FR. We need Matthew Shepherd type legislation to follow up the repeal.

101. Bullshit. Two thirds of the military says gays don't bother them.
And of the people in the military who've actually worked with someone they know or believe to be gay, that number is 90%. Remember that the enlisted military is overwhelmingly younger people, who are much more gay-positive even when they hold otherwise conservative beliefs.

The biggest likely problems are career officers, more likely to be older and across the board conservative, but you're not likely to find bird colonels engaging in late-night beatings.

So yes, it's good that RimJob and his fellow freepers have a bug up their ass about this. I enjoy their misery.

14. Nope because free republic means only one thing to those who want to practice
a free republic which really means it is only free to those who look, walk, talk and believe as their fearful leaders dictate. These are the limited freedom voters who vote against their own interests every election cycle to make sure that someone they don't like don't get a fair share of entitlements that they get, even if it means they lose also.

24. RimJob has been having a nuclear shit-fit...
Edited on Sat Dec-18-10 07:44 PM by TeaBagsAreForCups
... all afternoon. He's been "zoting" posters (closing their accounts) and throwing them out all day - even long term members from the early days when the cesspool was just getting its first fecal fill (~1998).

Trashing people who have been on your board for twelve years - just because they've indicated that either: 1. it's not worth making such a big deal over, there are more critical "conservative" issues; 2. most Americans support the repeal; 3. it might be better to enjoy a vigorous debate in the cesspool instead of zotting everyone - is pretty much indicative of the breakdown that RimJob is having today. Moreover the humorous part is that most of the posters who offered challenges to his original screed, would usually "temper" it with the standard "I hate faggots" just like everyone else, but..." - yet still the iron hand of the idiot-in-chief, RimJob, and his zot fell without mercy.

RimJob is truly in a meltdown; here's his posting history for a minute by minute summary of his disintegration:

FR is a bit like Amway: 99.999999% loyalty is 100% disloyalty. If you stray even a couple of angstroms from Jim Robinson's beliefs, they throw you out.

Because, clearly this makes the majority of military personnel who have answered surveys indicating they have no major issues serving alongside gays and lesbians a bunch of conspirators in the Marxist plan to destroy our society and our free nation, will destroy our military, our defenses, our national security and eventually cost us our freedom!

32. This raises my worry about the clubbiness of the internet.

It isn't good, imo, if most of the discussion areas on the internet are "owned" by partisans who set the rules of the debate. Moderated forums are extremely useful and informative, don't get me wrong, but I would also like to see more anything-goes, no-holds-barred websites where people can speak freely, without fear of being censored/banned.

78. It can be done, but it needs tough moderating for personal insults
Try this one: http://www.politicsforum.org/forum/index.php

It has a pretty wide range of views (from communist to non-racist fascist), and you can get good conversations going - not necessarily from both extremes at once, but from some fairly widely separated viewpoints. Personal insults rack up warnings and temporary bans a lot faster than they do on DU, and that keeps people in line more, I think. Other things that may help: it attracts a lot of students, and while they may have very different opinions, they're not quite so invested in them as defining their lives, so they don't take argument against them as a personal attack (and you'll see some that change their political views over a year or two), and it's international - which means that right wing appeals to 'patriotism' can fall flat in a lot of cases.

82. Some of them overstep the line, and get banned
But it can just about be defined without using racism. It's an extreme nationalism, that rejects democracy in favour of power structures run by 'strong men'. If they say that the nation is defined by what you swear allegiance to (they're big on allegiance, fairly obviously), and that you will accept incomers as long as they agree with your ideals, then 'race' doesn't have to be a concern of it. Though with some, it's pretty clear their ideas of 'pure culture' look more like 'ethnic separation' to the rest of us.

Here's their forum, if you want to see how they try to define and justify things: http://www.politicsforum.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=22

My guess? 6 months just to finish the quarter.. and it's gonna be a continious Freepathon if RimJob keeps "zotting" everyone.

Then it'll be nothing but an graveyard for the Republicans and their ilk.

46. What, exactly, is "the homosexual agenda?" Equality for all?
Is that anything like the "Gay Mafia?" :banghead:

No, seriously...I hear conservatives talk about "the homosexual agenda" but they never spell out exactly what they think that means. It's one of those buzzwords that they love to use to get a rise out of people, but can't/don't/won't really define.

91. Here's a copy of it ... (my wife stole it from her hairdresser)
1) Two gay guys buy the house next to yours. They fix up the lawn, and its immaculate. Your wife sees it and demands that you put down your beer, get up your fat butt off the couch, and fix your lawn.

2) A week later, the gay guys invite your wife over for lunch. She is amazed at the way they have decorated their home. The place is like a model home. Everything is perfect. She comes home and starts complaining about the state of your home. She wants to buy new furniture. Get new curtains. They gay guys even gave her some sketches. These guys are going to cost you a fortune.

3) Another week passes. Your wife and the gay guys have all agreed that your wardrobe is atrocious. So they took her shopping. When you come home, you find that all of your old clothes are gone, replaced with lots of pastel color shirts and pants you could never wear to the home depot. Your wife explains that the gay guys think that the color of your new cloths are a much better match for your skin tone. You want to scream.

4) A week later, you are out in the yard. And one of the gay guys approaches you, and quietly tells you that he's been talking to your wife, and she mentioned your unfortunate back-hair situation. But there is good news, he knows a place that does a great job removing it. You SNAP and attack the gay guy. This is not a smart move. After all, you are a fat, lazy, chia-pet, who gets winded walking from the couch to the refrigerator when getting a beer ... the gay guy, who goes to the gym twice a day, is in great shape. He easily subdues you with a strangle hold until the police arrive.

5) After a friend posts bail, your wife informs you that she has filed for divorce. She wins easily because of your violent attack on the neighbor. She gets the house. You get to move into a trailer out by the railroad.

6) About a month later, you learn that your wife is renting a room at what was your house. Apparently, the gay guys had a nice lesbian friend who was looking for a place to stay. They introduced her to your wife and they hit it off. So she moved in.

7) Your five state killing spree begins.

See their devious plan?

(anytime some right winger uses the phrase "gay agenda", I send them this)

99. This isn't too far from reality. I listened to an NPR story twenty years
ago about a town in Mississippi that was having a meeting to oppose the opening of a battered woman's shelter. When a resident was asked how he could oppose the opening of the shelter as it wasn't even in the town limits and was on private land, he responded,"When someone beats their wife she's gonna go out there and they'll turn her into a lesbian."

Quote from: goldstategop
As an American, I’m a live and let live guy. As long as they leave me alone, I’ll leave them alone. What people do in their bedroom isn’t my business and I don’t care. We’re not going to be checking to see what soldiers do off duty. As long as they’re on duty they’re governed by regulations on fraternization and inappropriate conduct. That already applies to heterosexuals and it will now apply to gays as well.



I think this is a valid response to the situation. You don't have to support being gay to have an understanding that they have a right to be happy and don't cause harm to you, as propaganda frequently suggests.

Unfortunately, here comes the (aptly named) Quote from: A total doof
To: goldstategop

If you support the homosexual agenda, then get the hell off of FR!! Continue supporting it on FR beyond this point, newbie, and you will get the ZOT!! Period. End of fricken story!!

80. Hell no. They're up in arms about 'RINOs'
and even have a special 'RINO Free America' project. Ironically, its last attempt was to get rid of John McCain earlier this year, because he's nowhere near right wing enough for them. And yet he was the nearest thing to their visceral hatred of homosexuality in the DADT debate.

79. "It’s a God, Family, Country, Life and Liberty liberal-free zone" -
It's interesting how the republicans have branded themselves as "the god, family, country, life and liberty" party. 98% of those (at least) voting for the scumbags focus on this, and not the fact that they are voting against their own economic reality.

And why we don't hammer that into sound bites and play it 24/7 is beyond me. Why do we let them do this?

...it's because those that vote that way for religious reasons don't really give a shit about economics...and those that vote that way for economics don't give a shit about religion. They're effectively shuttered against the extreme dissonance that arises from the two as a whole.

96. "Why do we let them do this?"
Because we've been taught to sit down and shut up. We need to stop behaving ourselves.

I have to spend Christmas day with bf's family, two of his brothers are freeperish and use any opportunity to blab about their philosophy. I managed to keep my mouth shut for hours last year, right up until they claimed this was a christian country and our government was founded on christianity and started bashing bf for voting for Obama.

Snap.

Bf and his step-dad sat back to watch the fun, his mom fled to the kitchen to escape the carnage.

By the time they realized they'd brought crayons to a gunfight it was too late.

I am SO looking forward to the gay bashing that's on the agenda this year. :eyes:

104. I was thinking of the press -
on a personal level in our family we have the same issues. One uncle started in on the "it's unconstitutional to put a mosque at the 9/11 site" until my husband, who is a lawyer and knows the constitution quite well (worked with a con law professor in law school) laid it out for him. Uncle quickly retreated saying "well I'm not going to argue with a lawyer". Well no, especially when you're completely wrong.
