Carleysmimi- your story is not true, the peace symbol started as the symbol of nuclear disarmament and never had anything whatsoever to do with a broken cross. Do your homework before you spread such nonsense to feign the faux victimized Christian that has worn everyone’s patience thin.

Unfortunately, for liberals and progressives, there are far more “liberals” and “progressives”, which are neither. They have the stage and misrepresent the true guiding principles of those philosophies. You have many pretenders in your midst, far more than are found among Conservatives.

That said, liberal/progressives policies that are discriminatory and exploitative undermine your message. You may have benevolent intentions; but, the regressive agendas belie those claims. You would do well to recognize and promote individual dignity, and leave the regressive notions of “race”, “sexism”, “elitism”, etc., buried in the past, where they should remain.

You need to move past your perpetual guilt and join the rest of us in the 21st century. Where we judge individuals on their words and actions, and nothing more. Where we help others out of altruism, and not as paid “charitable” employees of the government or donors. Where we respect men and women, old and young, black and white, Christian and Muslim, etc., equally.

We want a world which recognizes the value of the individual, that promotes freedom and opportunity for all. We will not accept rule by “elites”, nor the hive mentality they espouse.

If if is Daily Kos sneak attacks, that should be exposed. I try never to sink to that level, ever. There are enough idiot conservatives to do that. But if these attacks are not consistent and “out of the blue”, I would have to wonder about them. When you go on Daily Kos or Huffington Post, this stuff is par for the course. There is a certain consistency about it. People who throw out these kind of slurs tend to be do it on a regular basis, regardless of political affiliation.

I read the crap they said about Condi Rice and hope we don’t swim in that pond. There is enough media against us and hope anyone on that level gets exposed.

Not “racist”.

“A bunch of ghetto thugs.”

Not “racist”. Jews lived in ghettos too.

“Ghetto street trash.”

Not “racist”. Same reason as for the 2nd point.

“Wonder when she will get her first abortion.”

Mocking all things regressive — commendable! I still don’t understand why regressives are offended when their policies are highlighted. They should be ecstatic when others acknowledge their “progressive” agendas. By the way, the Obamas have proven their regressive (aka “liberal”, aka “progressive”) status. I just can’t believe how many whites, Jews, blacks, etc., are complicit.

The regressives must no longer feel satisfied attacking Palin and her family, so they have expanded their attacks. They either feel threatened or emboldened by the continued conspiracy of the MSM., and the possible upcoming confirmation of the egotistical, racist, delusional Sotomayor. Apparently, Ginsburg was/is not sufficiently racist/prejudiced for their needs — they can, and will do better.

They’re also fervently attempting to assassinate Ricci’s character in order to recover the shredded remains of Sotomayor’s credibility.

Oh, and after several months, they have contrived a cover story to pursue their attack on the CIA, and Cheney in particular. So desperate in general, or so desperate to recover the shredded remains of Pelosi’s credibility?

Nothing up my sleeve… A little sleight of hand, and presto… A Democratic party revived.

“anyway, those racist “freepers” need to be SPANKED…HARD. I’m not joking either. SPANKED and kicked to the CURB. We don’t TOLERATE that racism bullshit here.”

anyway, we those racist “freepers” need to be SPANKED…HARD. I’m not joking either. SPANKED and kicked to the CURB. We don’t TOLERATE that racism bullshit here.

makes me sick and it makes my blood boil for SO many reasons…

If you spend any time at all on FR you will note how quickly any posts that cross the line are removed. FR can’t remove bad posts before they’re posted, but in this case the offending posts were removed very quickly.

This little game has been planned, and we’re going to see a piece on MSNBC tomorrow about it… as planned by this lovely kid from Daily Kos.

Please keep in mind the you whom I am addressing is not Mr. Parks but Chris Parry of the Vancouver Sun.

“I don’t suppose you have any interest in all the members here who made it very clear that Obama’s children should be off limits and are not responsible for their dad’s policies.

Also do you bother asking how long it usually takes a thread or offensive comment to be pulled? Or did you check to see how many here do not tolerate racist comments and bring them to the attention of the moderators?

The moderators have a herculean task to go through all the posts to check for offensive content. But they do a very good job at it, even if it does not always happen instantly.

And you may not be aware of it but the mods do send private messages to those who post offensive crap and give them a warning that continued violation of Free Republic policy will result in being banned. So you don’t have any idea if those who posted the crap were just ignored. You like to give the impression they are tolerated and even encouraged by the Moderators and Administration of this site, but that is not true.

I don’t believe there is every any excuse for racist attacks or attacks against children and if I ever thought this was business as usual on Free Republic I would say so and leave the site without hesitation. But I assure you such things are an anomoly and in no way reflect the values of the majority of conservatives.”
