I Will Not Be Silenced
First, let me thank everyone that emailed me to express his or her support. I especially want to thank my fellow conservatives out there. As I have said often here, I have experienced more hate in the Bay Area as a gay conservative than I ever experienced growing up in Texas as a gay man. Once again, you have reinforced as right the decision I made last year to switch parties and leave the Democrats to wallow in their self-destructive path.
As for the site, it has been down for most of the day while I switched hosting providers (morning here on the left coast). Michael Rogers apparently contacted my hosting provider, StartLogic, and had my site pulled for “defamation.” Here is the email from the provider:
Hello,Unfortunately, we have been forced to suspend your domain account for the following reason:
Legal issues with defamation of character by the domain of limeshurbet.com. The person in the issues is about is Mike Rodgers. The “hit list” poster is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
For more information about this suspension, please contact abuse@vdeck.com. Thank you.
Regards,
vDeck Abuse Department
The “Wanted” parody is not a “hit list.” It did list the contact email addresses for blogACTIVE, along with a specific call to email him in protest of his terrorist tactics. But it made no mention of threat and nothing defamatory. Besides that, Michael Rogers needs little help from me showing people his true character.
The “Wanted” parody stays. I stay. Gay conservatives stay. I will not be silenced, Michael Rogers, if I have to get shutdown and move to another provider 100 times. I will keep moving and making sure people are aware of your terrorist tactics in outing good, well meaning Americans because they do not follow your radical agenda or follow your fascist ideology. “Think this way or else?” I think not.
I am gay. I am a member of the Republican Party, and I am not going anywhere.
Great news! I’ve so furious at the actions of Michael Rogers, but felt kind of helpless to do anything. His slimy actions show that GayPatriot and your responses were more than justified.
Keep up the good work….I’ll keep folowing you as needed.
The party of “tolerance” and “inclusiveness” never fails to amaze me with their hypocrisy.
Good luck and stand strong in what you believe.
keep up the good work. our voices will make a difference.

Hang in there, man.
Oh, and as per your suggestion, your banner is up on my site now.
Let Michael Rogers try to take it down.
Thanks Misha! The support means a great deal!
Keep up the good work, and don’t let the bastard get you down. If we gay conservatives stand together, then they cannot silence us.
great job!
Never be intimidated!
Glad you’re back. Thanks for supporting GayPatriot.org.
I want to say “Thank You!” As GayPatriot’s partner, I can assure you that your support and courage are greatly appreciated. The past few days have been difficult and we are examining all recourse and options available to us. In the meantime, keep up the good work of Lime Shurbet and know you are not fighting the good fight alone.
Thanks to you, I now have a shiny new image displayed in my sidebar.
Apostasy…
It brings the Gay-Stop-O
Hey buddy, got your back as well. Banner is up on every page of my site. This c**p is typical of the left and it really really pisses me off. It’s a cheap thing to do. My blood is BOILING.
If there is anything I can do to help out the cause, let me know. I am the guy who did all the code behind Easongate.com (petitions, databases, html, etc). If you need anything put together, just drop me a line and I’ll cover it.
-gogman-
You give ‘em what for, Lime Shurbet! Don’t let the hate mongers get you too!
You have my support, Lime Shurbet. Whether a liberal or conservative blog, no tin-horned bully should be able to silence you without a fight. We have to make sure that we respond quickly when or IF this jerk tries this crap again.
Robert is my hero!
I am no hero, but thank you for the sentiment
If there’s anything better than a man with Right on his side, it’s a man with Right on his side, and a strong backbone.
Rogers is a slimeball. I’m proud to post the wanted poster on my sidebar.
I can SOOOOO relate – but being from a smaller town with a smaller gay community I was referred to as THE gay community – glad your back!

you go, Lime Shurbet, your courage and tenacity is awe inspiring…….
Good for you! When any fascistic thug tries to silence us (and I humbly include myself, even though I am not gay-for sexual orientation really has nothing to do with this blatant political intimidation, does it?), all people of good will MUST speak up and fight back. You, and GayPatriot (and all others who fight the good fight) are true American heroes.
