RKBA must stick together. I tend to agree with NnB on this. Edge is sarcastic but has a point with the only difference being that earlier immigrant groups were here legally.
Let's all vote!
My sixty pesos says, Check Fire all around. Bigger trolls to hunt out there....
*I* am vile, poisonous and depressed, so I KNOW my judgement is off and I am less tolerant than usual.
I hope the whole thing can be sorted out, because i really like hanging out with you guys.
Darks, your getting this to be The Voice of Sanity. ( scary, but true! )
"Edge is sarcastic but has a point with the only difference being that earlier immigrant groups were here legally."
I understand why Fedora might be a little thin skinned about the immigration issue. I live in California, and I am rabidly anti illegal immigration. I also at one time
was race baited by FR's "Notorious 4" race baiters. They gave up on me when they found out I married a Mexican American. Now ex wife:)
I picked up something else in his post, which is why I branded him a troll and pinged everyone. The context of the post was that the poster chose to make his point in reply to a post on Marxism. I took this as implying a left-wing argument to the effect that to recognize Marxism is de facto racist/xenophobic (i.e. the point underlying the poster's sarcasm was, "FreeRepublic is a bunch of rednecks"); hence my complaint in my previous post that I was being race-baited.
Incidentally there are many holes in the analogy the poster suggested, some of which have been pointed out already--e.g., your observation that German immigrants were here legally, previous posts noting that German immigrants did assimilate into American culture--as well as the fact mentioned in one of the articles I posted that the German community itself eventually ostracized the Marxist group being discussed; not to mention the fundamental fact that the issue was Marxism, not that the Marxists in question were German; among other things. I would have entertained a serious discussion of this if the poster had displayed some manners in their post, but their sarcastic tone did not give me the impression they were interested in a serious discussion, so I was not about to dignify it with a serious reply.
As for dropping the subject, it's dropped. I do indeed have bigger trolls to hunt.
I just had to deal with an illegal alien apologist/race baiter/reverse racist who likes to put words in other people's mouths and twist everything people say on another thread.
He sees himself as being a man on a mission and is trying to paint himself as a martyr.
So I really have 'no dog' in this one.
But I agree, we should stick together.
Besides, I live near the Onion Growing zone of Orange County NY.
They recently finally decided to selectively enforce immigration law and netted/caught/discovered 32 illegals at one farm.
Strangely, crime went down drastically once they caught the illegals.
Those here legally in my area as a rule of thumb tend to not do criminal behavior.
/ end tangential thinking.
