Someone came on democratic underground who is a conservative and challenged me to go to freerepublic.com. I won't give out his name, because I am being respectful of his privacy. I went on freerepublic and posted under the name "progressive cowboy", because I am a progressive and I am an alum of Oklahoma State (GO POKES!! BEAT TECH!!)
I made one post on the miscellaneous part of their site saying that I am a progressive who is in the military and that I was challenged to go to their site. I said that I wanted to engage in political discussion but I was not interested in calling anyone any names. I try to be as respectful to others even if I don't agree with them.
I tried to comment on someone else's thread, and I got a message saying that my "posting privleges had been revoked". I wrote their webmaster but I haven't heard from them since.
And they say they believe in free speech.
