See, they really do try to control what you see, read and think.

A good example being the ignorant children protesting the war in Gaza. Most of them can't identify what river or sea is being mentioned in their chant. Most have no idea that Hamas' charter calls for the extermination of the Jewish people. Most have no idea that Hamas is rabidly anti LGBTQ. All they know is that this is the current correct thing and they're on board. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

I’d imagine the people who showed up at our capitol looking to hang the VP, carrying a flag that wasn’t the American flag, who were looking to take hostages, and overthrow the will of the people fit the criteria of people we defend against. 2. I wonder if that’s because a party leader has been sewing distrust every chance he gets in the media for over 8 years now? 3. Your first amendment right doesn’t require a business to give you a platform. 4. I don’t think the tabloids became a national security threat. If there was a mob of Elvis supporters who stormed the capitol and were looking to overthrow our government and the tabloids were participating in and promoting false messaging that caused the danger. They might have a problem. How come I’m not allowed to exercise my first amendment and yell fire in a crowded theater?

That’s one of the main reasons why I would prefer to not have a conman felon who loves authoritarians in charge. Illegally acquired personal information. What about it? Some companies decided to not risk airing out someone’s stolen personal information. I think most of it wound up on the internet anyway. The Steele dossier wasn’t illegally acquired personal information it was somebodies opposition research that hit the internet as unverified allegations. The government has more resources than any of us. If there is a rapidly spreading new disease causing our health care system to get pushed to the brink and morgues to overflow with dead bodies. Then the group with all the resources and data who are also charged with national security should probably try their best to provide the answers they believe are correct right? I thought ivermectin use exploded because of its mention in social medias. Pretty sure that wasn’t a word of mouth phenomena. Again who was censored and who did it?

A little social shaming can be a good thing. If I do that here, some crybaby contacts a mod and I get suspended for a week. Which is funny, because I post about once a week.

The owner of faux the Murdoch family spreads shit around the globe. I learned to distrust them years ago when I used critical thinking skills and figured out very little was actually news. My beliefs were reinforced when they settled a lawsuit and paid multi millions for lying. I know some people who can’t consume enough of their garbage though. 3. We are talking about free speech and social media. Jfc 4. And when is the last time the safety and security of our country was threatened by a mob of idiots that believed everything the tabloids told them? 5. Try thinking and doing a little research every once in awhile. And not just getting snippy because you didn’t have a faux article to fall back on to help explain the “facts” for you. Free speech has limits when it poses a direct threat to public safety. That’s not some new rule to target the poor little conservatives.

I can't really speak to that as I'm not aware of the post(s) in question. As someone who is known the walk that tightrope I certainly can't criticize. It doesn't change my point, as I was speaking more generally.

If you were suspended you deserved it and probably had a warning prior. We are not jerks. We don't target. You are your own moderator. But if you decide to walk out of the lines and get suspended, then that's on you, not us. Moderate yourself, so nobody else has to.

We have this thing called the Code of Conduct that every member must read and agree to prior to membership being granted. Apparently some members don't read it as well as others.
