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.

You got me I am so in love with illegal immigrants!
/sarcasm.
P.S. This site is billed as a conservative forum, not a republican one.
gracias...
Between his immigration policy, and now finding out that President Bush ISN'T gonna round up and kill all the democrats, I find myself pretty mad that I voted for the guy... That damned Bush. Leaving the democrats running around loose like that. Doesn't he care about America? Grrrr...
Part of the art of understanding politics is to understand what is possible given the complex vested interests of all players in a particular scenario, and thereby accurately calculating the possiblity of "conspiracy" under whatever circumstances are being analyzed. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, the human condition being what it is, "conspiracy," on any large scale and to any wide effect, should simply be discounted as a explanation for why things are the way they are.
I sense a conspiracy to stop any discussion about conspiracies. Anyone suspected to be consciously conspiring to aid or start a conspiracy will be conscripted and consigned to conspiracy hell. ;-)
You have repeatedly called for the U.S. to give up on catching and deporting the illegals already here claiming it is impossible to round them up.
That qualifies you as an illegal lover.
You're an illegal lover! You've been loving....illegally!
"Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, the human condition being what it is, "conspiracy," on any large scale and to any wide effect, should simply be discounted as a explanation for why things are the way they are."
??? Maybe...should simply be discounted as an explanation "to the person who believes it as true" for why things are the way they are.
Wow. Doing a Google Search for "Illegal Lover" certainly opens one's eyes ;0)
So, how's your pneumonia?
The existence of Conspiracy Hell is just a bogus conspiracy theory.
This is a thread YOU really need to check out... ;0)
You know, I'm not big on conspiracy kooks either, but you've yet to explain how this is a bad thing...;)
well... I'm confused. why was this posted?<<<<<<
To remind us that we are lucky to live in America and enjoy free speech.........
LOL (Maybe, at least that is my thought.)
Clearing up, thanks.
