The purges have begun. Be careful what you post, who you ping, or who you get into an argument with.
Having said that, it's ironic that until recently, I lived a stone's throw from Redondo. I will be unable to make it.
90% of the outstanding murder warrants at LAPD are for illegals. 90%
Very well said.

That's one reason this event is taking place out in front of a POLICE STATION.
That's great! Maybe I ought to bring a dishtowel too...
good for you. Let them know that you are aware that the law NOW authorizes them to enforce immigration laws.
If you're going to talk about me, at least have the COURAGE to ping me.
Why did you ping me? Did I address you by name? If you continue with this kind of harassment I'll go tell on you, pitch a tantrum and possibly wet my Underoos (not necessarily in that order) until I get my undeserved way.
BTTT.
I didn't ping you; I posted directly TO you. I see you, too, have no reading and comprehension skills.
The cops loved us!
What does it beneift a party to win an election if it loses its soul?
"Purges? We don' need no steenking purges!"
I will assume that Mr. Robinson's statement that this is a conservative forum remains true. Members should have no reason to operate in a climate of fear, provided that they keep their posts to a PG-13 standard while refraining from stalking and overt harassment.
Intimidation and fear are the hallmarks of the politically correct fascists over at DU(h), not Free Republic. Four out of the hundreds of regular posters on illegal immigration subjects have been recently banned or suspended, and I hear that they may have pushed beyond the bounds of civility (the thread has been pulled so I can't see for myself).
I take this as a reminder that there is a line between disagreement and slander. It also reminds me that the humorless and oversensitive are legion and can't discern tweaking from a personal attack on their integrity. So be it - it's not "our" house, therefore we must (and should) abide by the rules of our host.
It is a tribute to our intelligence and civility that we restrain ourselves like we do while putting up with the vilest accusations and outright lies on a regular basis. Please continue to stay the high road and express your opinions and ideas. They're the stuff real progress is built on.

I think occutegirl said it best:

We're playing double standard rules here, you know it, the forum leaders know it. A lot more than 4 have been banned. Not my business to tell anyone how to run their place. I will not however, be happy about being "put in my place" as a second class citizen while illegals are protected and given "rights" beyond citizenship.
An excellent rhetorical question with truthful overtones (so much for my supposed educational deficiencies).
There is an ongoing contest of wills in the Republican Party between old-style conservatives and self-labeled "neocons" who seem to regard power/money over principle and the future of our nation. Many of these neos are former Democrats who fled that party's unending quest for socialism (and the threat that represents to their bank accounts). To me they represent an even larger problem than the Democrat Party, as they bring their Large Government baggage and pack distinctly nonconservative agendas wherever possible (free drugs for the elderly, yippee).
Have to go now. I hope you have a great turnout!
That happens to me also.
If you don't want to argue, my advice is to ignore the pings.
