The Free Republic’s owner Jim Robinson is having a really tough time of it today. So have a heart and offer your condolences, m-kay?
If you support the homosexual agenda you are anti-constitution and you’ll get the zot from FR!
Posted on Sat Dec 18 12:33:01 2010 by Jim RobinsonA 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!!
Free Republic ain’t so free today, is it?

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.
Prologue: Why I Went To “Love Won Out”
Part 1: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Part 2: Parents Struggle With “No Exceptions”
Part 3: A Whole New Dialect
Part 4: It Depends On How The Meaning of the Word "Change" Changes
Part 5: A Candid Explanation For "Change"
At last, the truth can now be told.
Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups, we examine the statistics and the case studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

I love how me asking for “equal” not “special” rights ruins their religion, free speech, and marriages.
Ya’ll know a giant meteor is going to hit the United States tonight, then a giant crack is going to split the Earth.

Jason said, “I can’t imagine how many freeper heads are exploding today.”
All of them, for sure. Many of us have believed that our quest for equality had already moved beyond the tipping point. And now, after the vote today, unless the Freepers are in serious denial, they are being forced to confront what now has become obvious.

I enjoy the suffering of evil people, especially when it is self-inflicted. If you read the threads (which I would recommend), you’ll see people calling for lynchings and coups. I love that they are that upset by this, it makes our victory over the evildoers even more sweet.
Speaking of being free or not, I appreciate that we do have free speech on this site. Even bigots can have their say. Our Jim does not feel the need to censor everyone who disagrees with him, unlike their Jim.

Notice how he puts “rights” in quotation marks, when he isn’t quoting anything or referring to another person’s abstract concept.
Apparently Mr. Robinson doesn’t actually believe anyone has rights.

“Zot” comes from the BC newspaper cartoon. The guy who writes BC is ultra-conservative and also anti-evolution.

I’d like to hear him explain how gays not having the right to serve openly in the military is “having the same rights as everyone else”.

Priya, it’s quite simple.
Everyone is free to be white, straight, and christian.
We are all free to live our lives exactly the way Jim and FR want us to!

Pff. The only Zot I care about is the one from Scott McCloud’s superhero comic of the same name, and that Zot thinks homophobia is stupid.

Once upon a time, when FreeRepublic was actually a pretty decent political debate forum, I actually had an account there. I enjoyed the debate and did what I could to bring a little sanity and reason to the debates. It was a forum that could get a little nasty and heated but no one really got banned for expressing an opinion.
Somewhere along the way, that changed. Jim Robinson’s mental health took a turn toward being completely deranged. His occasional posts showed him to be a man full of rage and totally absorbed in the adulation and Jim-worship that the fellow lunatic fringe lavished on him.
For a man who claims to be a Christian he seems to relish the heresy of his god-like status on FR and the idolatry of his adoring worshipers doesn’t seem to bother him at all.
Homosexuality is one of the biggest hot button issues on FR and sometime after the Lawrence v. Texas decision in 2003, the wheels completely fell off at FR and the ideological purges started with Stalin-esque fury.
In this wake I got banned for meticulously correcting one poster’s repetition of Paul Cameron’s completely unfounded claims in his propaganda pamphlet “The Medical Consequences of What Homosexuals Do”. I also noted that Cameron had been expelled from the American Psychological Association for lying in his published works.
Jim couldn’t tolerate me having the audacity to inject facts into his little homo-hate party.
Truth and reason is not welcome at FreeRepublic. What was once an entertaining forum with many intelligent and informed posters quickly turned into what it is today… a depressing tarpit of mis-educated malcontents whose only purpose for being there is to exchange cyber high fives with people who view cultural issues exactly as they do.
The accepted point of view is ridiculously narrow. If you are not a gay-hating and abortion-hating white Christian, you are not welcome. If you appreciate logic and reason and welcome free flowing debate from different perspectives, you definitely are not welcome.
Even some of the most conservative members have left saying they could no longer stomach the irrational vitriol and outright demented calls for violence against people who were considered culture war enemies.
It’s really been sad to watch the site devolve as it has.

“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.”
Mr. Robinson is mistaken. Nowhere in the Bible does God grant any of these rights. Our Constitutional rights were granted by us for us.

So in other words, after it was declared that our existence could no longer be criminalized, Jim’s head exploded and he could no longer contain his rage.
interesting.

Another interesting thing about the gay threads on Free Republic is the obsession that three certain members have with the topic. They were there when I was a member and I see they are still there.
Members wagglebee, scripter, and little jeremiah spend untold hours, literally many hours, every day commenting almost exclusively on the threads pertaining to homosexuality.
Obviously they have serious mental health issues. But whether that issue is irrational rage and paranoia or internalized homophobia is what I’m not sure about. Could be both.

I was reading through Free Republic the other night…
Prior to doing so I noticed on a few gay blogs a few posters claiming that they have accounts at FR and that they post the most outlandish crap (in support of the FR viewpoint) in order to play with them, egg them on, and have a laugh—and have been doing so for YEARS.
Reading their comments in that context, I couldn’t help but wonder if indeed some of the more outlandish and absurdly vile posts were actually from people who are mocking FR. The satirists probably do NOT make up the majority, though it would be hilarious if they did.
I’m not saying it’s helpful to do this, but it does make all their bizarre rehetoric a little less scary.

As a straight, black female survivor of segregation, I’m celebrating the repeal of DADT, and I hope to celebrate, in my lifetime, the end of DOMA. Those who don’t see a problem with restricting the rights of other Americans don’t believe in the Constitution (I’m talking to you and your buddies, Jim Robinson,) and have always had all of the full rights and privileges of American citizenship. I’m fairly certain that if they were immigrants, gay, lesbian, Muslim, an atheist, Hispanic, etc, they’d be singing a different tune.

“‘Zot’ comes from the BC newspaper cartoon. The guy who writes BC is ultra-conservative and also anti-evolution.”
I remember a “Wizard of Id” (also by Johnny Hart, author of “BC”) strip from sometime between 1985 and 1989.
Sentry on castle wall: “Halt! who goes there?”
Offstage voice: “Robin Hood and his gang of merry fellows!”
Sentry: “I thought you guys were all in quarentine.”
I called the editor (or at least someone identified as the editor) of the comics page of the NY Post, and asked why they were running an AIDS joke. She said it was not an AIDS joke, but could not otherwise explain the punchline.
