National Review

I attempted to read one of their articles, but it didn't last long. Ads began to pop up, many of which could not be closed. Will block it from my news widget suggestions.

National Review Online is a conundrum of a website that has surrendered free speech to what can only be described as politically correct trolls who, through a looking glass, practice the very suppression of free speech that conservatives accurately accuse far left web venues of practicing. Supposedly a far-reaching and open venue that is available to interested persons throughout the political world, the apparent truth that I have discovered, through interaction on discussion boards at NRO, is this: Extremely small-minded, vulgar, provocative, and unreasonable "conservatives" have free rein to throw grotesque and "fighting words" levels of insults into their message board messages to debate opponents, and are then protected from rebuttal in kind by "moderators" (think Orwellian censorship).

The NRO "version" of being conservative, at least on their message boards, is "toe the line, peons, and interact like good little boy and girl victims when our conservatrolls come to take their pound of flesh out of you." NRO = Not behaving sweetly? DELETION for you...!

Virtually NOTHING perturbs me more than speech suppression, and NRO practices EXCESSIVE speech suppression. Remember that if you decide to visit their site.
