I just got banned from Free Republic. Took twenty minutes.
Four posts. One a meanless Lounge-type one, but here’s the other three (all removed):

Heroes? Your heroes are cruel, twisted fiends who torture random people? Amazing.

(from a thread about Hillary Clinton's 'treason'):
That's not treason. Read the Constitution:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."
----
I disagree. The third article of the fourth Geneva convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War states:
In the case of armed conflict not of an international character occurring in the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties, each party to the conflict shall be bound to apply, as a minimum, the following provisions:
1. Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.
To this end the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:
(a) Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;
(b) Taking of hostages;
(c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment;
(d) The passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.

5. I guess the Constitution is sacrilegious to the freepers

Amazing. Banned for quoting the Constitution.

At least you had the fortitude to go toe to toe with those crazed lunatics.

Every society has its fringe, but I hope they never get back into power.

Never since the days of Nazi Germany was so much of the world shocked and horrified at the behavior of a nation and that nation is us!!

6. He went toe to toe alright

But the first time they take a punch they cry No Mas, No Mas...

I was banned and my post was deleted. Oh fucking well. I guess they can't handle the truth.

Idiots.

8. Same here.

Back last summer when they found the handful of centrifuge parts, I posted something along the lines of "Hey guys! I have a handful of washers, some cotter pins and a roll of duct tape. Anybody wanna come over and enrich some uranium with me?". It was gone in minutes.
