How is shutting down the border going to address those already here?

And how do you know he hasn’t consulted with the Mexican authorities?

“How is shutting down the border going to address those already here?”

That’s the other part. You must make life miserable for the people that are here illegally...something that Perry OBVIOUSLY has no interest in doing.

No I posted that comment because I felt that way.

You can say whatever you want.

I have no power to stop you.

Why are you running to Jim Robinson?

You sound like a hall monitor.

Whose trying to silence whom?

This is Free Republic.

My husband and I went to D.C. (from Texas) for our anniversary to attend the first Freeper march.

US troops on the border against illegal foreign nationals or others involved in criminal border activity, I believe is unconstitutional. However, if they deputized them as border patrol agents, would that be legal? I don’t know.

You don’t want to address those already here. The fact is that your kind wants to play word games and keep the argument going so nothing will be done.

I have no use or time for the screw America crowd and that’s the end of the argument and that includes little ricky’s lying ass.

Comments like that are now acceptable on FR but my comment of: "You're posting to counter effective dissemination of information" is a *ping" Jim Robinson offense?

What goes?

“You can say whatever you want.”

I think your the second statement answers your question. I was told last night by some other clown to shut up, and now you’re doing the same here.

I think JR needs to know what the Perry people are trying to do to his site.

-- I see you live in Maine so it's understandable that you see things differently. --

Whatever.

-- Perry wants a sealed border and he does not believe in amnesty. --

Perry's credibility sucks.

I wouldn’t put one single soldier in Mexico. I would put as many as necessary on the border and give them whatever they needed to stop illegal immigration.

CW: Please don’t lie about what you posted in #5 (above).

THIS is what you wrote to Admin:
“You’re posting to counter effective dissemination of information”

NOT THIS (which is Post 5)...
“Your purpose for posting on this thread is to disrupt effective dissemination of information.”

Accusing someone of disrupting a thread is a SERIOUS OFFENSE and you are now lying about what you actually posted (psst., there is a written record of it).

Please, hang it up and play by the rules. I fully understand the need for Perry’s people to “control the social media” and they have a lot but money to work with. But please consider that there are lots of people on this site, probably a majority now, that DO NOT LIKE PERRY and I’m sorry, but they will reply as they see fit, as you guys keep flooding us with new puff pieces.

“Where have I EVER asked someone to “shut up” or anything of the kind.”

When you accuse someone of disrupting a thread. That’s no different than telling him to shut up and get lost. If you want to keep posting for Perry, go ahead - but many, many, people here are now sick of him and if you are going to try to silence them, I’m going to defend them. That simple.

What is this a creek family convention?

Closing the border will keep new illegals out. Preventing illegals from working will lead to the self deportation of those already here.

Then play by the rules we’re even. You’re welcome to go off defending Perry when you see an anit-Perry thread. Those are the rules.

“And when Mexico says ‘no’ to U.S. troops being in their country, what would President Perry do? Considering that he made this proposal with absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Mexico might want U.S. intervention kind of indicates that their feelings aren’t of prime importance to him.”

You give Mexico certain options, and it just may turn out that what Perry proposes is not so bad to them.

Have you read one thread of mine where I’m not accused of awful things — been insulted in some of the nastiest ways, or had the thread balled up with repeated disruptive photos or misinformation?

I don’t do that. So when I say something generic like I feel a poster is on the thread to disrupt effective dissemination of information and it causes you to go ballistic, it really is beyond the pale. It would be laughable, if it wasn’t so wrong.
