Default Free Republic

I recently joined Free Republic, the difficult-to-navigate conservative Web site and posted replies to topics I wanted to discuss. I felt it necessary because I saw basically zero dissent on the site, and what good is an open discussion without actual discussion? Well, when I went to post today, I find that my "posting privileges" (privileges???) have been "revoked."

Perhaps I missed something, but if a site is deemed "Free Republic: Defending the Constitution," which part of a controlled discussion is free, republican, or conscious of the Constitution? I grow more and more wary of those who purport to hold the Constitution sacred without knowing one bit of what is included in the document. I, as a liberal, am accused to "stooping to new levels" all over that Web site, but certainly I've never stooped as low as this.

In one word: pathetic.
