If you want to destroy a political forum then turn it into a conspiracy theories haven. This is exactly what is Democratic Underground known to us as Dummyland. At DU the lefties are running all type of insanely delusional conspiracy theories ranging from election fraud, to Bush is going to kill or imprison every Democrat in the country.
On the other hand Free Republic is the best political forum on the internet because the vast majority of posters use logic and facts to express their opinions and comments regarding a particular subject. Unfortunately in the last two months there have been a flood of threads on Free Republic where the conspiracy theory crowd have been living it a large. These threads deal with the illegal immigration issue and many of the posters on these threads used every conspiracy theory under the sun. These insanely delusional conspiracy theories tell us how President Bush is going to Mexicanize America, how he is going to destroy the American economy, how he is going to annihilate our culture and on and on and on. President Bush has been savagely attacked by these posters and he was called all type of names. These threads are being now the Bush bashing forum on Free Republic.
Leading the brutal attack against President Bush are the Buchanin loyalists and 3rd party voters. Yes you can go ahead and show a poll on FR where the majority disagrees with President Bush guest worker program but the vast majority of those are not hatefully attacking President Bush. The hate campaign is lead by a fringe group on FR and this fringe must no tarnish the reputation of this great forum.
We can disagree with President Bush on his illegal immigration plan but we should do so in a constructive and logical way. We must not allow these threads of immigration issue to be hijacked by the fringe that will turn into a “Bash Bush Party”, spread insanely delusional conspiracy theories on Bush plan to destroy America, and spew a lot of racism directed toward Latinos. In the same way the fringe is going after any freeper who disagrees with their Bush bashing and crazy conspiracy theories and accuse him or her of being a supporter to illegal immigration, wanting to destroy the nation, helping the terrorists, and on and on and on.
We should always remember that the Republican Party is the ruling majority because we were able to get ride of the fringe in our party, the Buchanin loyalists and extremists who turned into 3rd party voters.
Free Republic is the greatest of all political forum on the internet, let us keep it this way and let us prevent it from being hijacked by a fringe of Bush basher and insanely delusional conspiracy theorists.
And then a bunch of people who claimed "Well, I voted for Bush, but Buchanan's da man on immigration, and I'm NEVER voting for Bush again..." showed up right after the 2000 election.
Now there's a conspiracy theory you can really wrap your tinfoil around.
Glad you enjoed it.
/sarcasm.
Glad you enjoyed it!
/sarcasm.
Great tag line!
And thank you for serving it to us!
Nice hat.... Alcoa?
Well, I guess this Mexican is a racist. I would like to see our borders sealed. I would like to see my USA born Mexican brothers who are fighting to return southern California, Arizona, New Mexico & that ultimate prize...Texas, removed from the USA & returned to the Mexico they so love. I would love to see English only laws & end ESL programs. I guess that I'm now "spewing a lot of racism toward Latinos". Maybe I've been brain-washed by "the Conspiracy".
Hope this doesn't qualify as vanity. My apologies if it does.
Keep hearing the threats of some huge horrible post that will put me on my back.
Never materializes tho. Sorry, but I can argue with the Social Children at work....I come here for something a bit more challenging. Most of the people I've met here are free thinking individuals. You however, disappoint me.
Continue to stroke yourselves on how long you've been here though...it obviously impresses you. I fail to see your significance.
Let me know when you're killer responses are ready. I'm not really following this thread anymore, my laundry needing doing last night and I had some free time.
"Leading the brutal attack against President Bush are the Buchanin loyalists and 3rd party voters."
Fer Gawd sake already....I wish people would stop beating a dead horse.
Politically speaking, Pat Buchanan is a dead horse. A dead straw man horse. That is...a dead straw horse. His horse has been beat into glue, and used by the local Cub Scout troop for their Christmas decorations.
Nobody on this forum voted for Pat in the last election. His Reform party is virtually non-existent. He is a non-political entity. He is a pundit, and a talk show host. He carries no political capital, has no political influence. Very very few agree with his foreign policy positions, myself included. He left the Republican party, and thus his name is poison in Republican politics.
He is regarded by some to be racist and antisemitic...I havent seen written evidence in articles...but I havent read his books either...so Ill pass on judgement. He is supposed to be a devout Catholic, if so, that counts for something.
An intelligent person needs to discriminate among the many positions other people hold...not every position is consistent with your own. Sometimes a person you disagree with on one issue may be right on another.
Thats what we should be doing on this forum...weeding out the logical and reasonable positions from the BS.
"Well, I guess this Mexican is a racist. I would like to see our borders sealed."
Well said. Maybe you feel the way you do because you bust your butt to make a go of it, youre an American, and you play by the rules like we all do.
What are "Social Children"?
By "free thinkers",do you mean the fringe of the fringe here,who are so far out there, so utterly bereft of knowledge,intelligence,and reason,that most of the time,they must cling to their wee group for sustenance? Them? Those people? ;^)
Do let me know when you make a brilliant reposte;I've yet to see one from you and doubt I ever shall do.Your hubristic,maladroit,juvenalia is ennui inducing.
So do you think the wee-ness of the members of his group is what inspired 1_Inch_Group's name? Actually come to think of it 1_Ounce_Brain might be a better name for him.
ROTFLMSO!
Yes,actually I do;re both of your queries. :-)
Honey, I wouldn't give you the time of day if your life depended on it. I was warning a couple of posters who were about to be sucked into your usual bs. I sure as hell wouldn't private message YOU. Of course I goofed. I avoid you like the plague, but unfortunately you were on this thread browbeating a couple of posters who didn't deserve it. Of course no one deserves the harassment you tend to give out, but you get away with it. Hence the warning to these folks.
On the bright side, I see that the number of your supporters is dwindling. Go ahead, ping your list and see who shows up.
I don't have a ping list...but I do have friends and their numbers aren't dwindling at all. LOL
Liar. but I do have friends and their numbers aren't dwindling at all.
Prove it.
Good night.
If my name's in your post, it should be on the address line as well. Even when you're crying to mommy.
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS
Nice post!
