The next question, IMHO, is will this thread ( and the constant deletion by the forum secret police ) cause many to abandon FR? Surely, many now think less of a 'not free' republic

I tend to agree with your statement. I don't beleive I have ever had a post deleted, yet having seen many others deleted by the "secret police" as you put it, and most of those deleted, appeared to be very truthful and up front with no offensive wording. We are all adults here for crying out loud.

I also agree that this censorship, if continued, will eventually minimize the popularity and impact of the Free Republic.

I believe there are a certain group of people that continue to hit the panic button or abuse button everytime they see something they disagree with or does not meet their agenda. It appears that the moderators or secret police, are giving in to this politically correct group of people that continue to complain and hit the panic / abuse button.

Just my opinion.

Oh and where were the "racist" comments in my last post? Was it daring to say that Mexico has a backward culture? Or that if illegal immigration is not halted America will become Balkanized? Or that many Mexican immigrants here have nothing but contempt for the American way of life and have different ideas about the sovereignty of states such as CA? How terrible! I need to be silenced.

I hope you haven't been silenced yet. I just got my signed copy of Death Of The West this afternoon. I will let you know what I thought of it, one day soon. That is, if your still here :o

Thanks Joe, looking forward to it. In the meantime I think I'll check the book out myself at the local bookstore. Love Pat or hate him one thing is for sure...he sure is exciting. LOL.

I really like Buchanan. And your right, he definitely draws a crowd. The book was a gift to me and I have been so busy tonight I haven't had a chance to pick it up. I plan on taking my time with it.

I must say that I think that Buchanan is routinely and unfairly attacked by many that have agendas that lack American interest.

And I always enjoy reading your post. They are always interesting and well written.

"You think consumer capitalism is the friend of conservatism."

If "consumer capitalism" is NOT a "friend of conservatism"...just what economic system do you think IS a friend of conservatism?

Communism?

Fascism?

Feudalism?

Mark (friend of "consumer capitalism"...and even some conservatives ;-))

One of the biggest excuses given is that the boards detractors, will use out of bounds commentary to attack and demean the entire forum. Of course this is the same thing the Pubbies have been saying for years whenever the Dems attack them. Lay low, don't present a target, and hope they like you. This is a recipe for mediocrity, and not excellence. With this kind of attitude, the conservatives are doomed to the trash heap of history.

"What I find disturbing is that we are being invaded by millions upon millions of criminal illegal aliens,..."

And just how are they "criminal illegal aliens"? They're "criminals" because they're illegal?

The best solution to THAT problem would be to change the laws to not make immigrating to this country a crime...if their only "crime" is that they simply want to live here.

Reminds me of the movie "Between Time and Timbuktu" (something like that) about a perfect communist world... where ice skaters purposely made mistakes so as to not be the best... [and how] A cop watching the event with a ball and chain on his wrist to make sure he could not be the best shot gunned the skater down for daring to skate better than the others. It is a weird old movie that had some great messages.

Firstly, I like weird. I'll bet Benjamin Franklin was thought to be "weird" in his day. The ideas of the American Revolutionaries were "weird" too.

Is this a pretty common movie? Something I could find at a chain-store rental shop? Sounds pretty cool.

Better yet, why don't we make everyone on the planet an American citizen and just get it over with? What's the difference? /sarcasm off

A better solution would be to enforce the laws that are already in place.

That might be tough. The movie came out circa 1970-72 and was something of a B movie back then. It was a great spoof on those wacky times and was offbeat all the way if my memory serves me correctly. If you can find some video joint that specializes in old movies you might find it.

Go to dictionary.com and look up the word CULTURE.

After learning the definition of the word CULTURE, if you still have questions on the relationship between culture and race...I think some research into the subject will answer any other questions that you might have.

You see, if you totally disagree with my statement that "Culture is an expression of race" then it will be a waste of both of our time to debate the subject; however, it is never a waste of time to research/study a subject.

Hey numbnuts, for a person who claims (in the post you linked me to) that you have too much to do in life, you sure seem to spend a lot of time on a website you don't like, saving threads to your disk.

Yes, I read that post. Yes, I have read the links you have on there.

My conclusion? You are a disingenuous loon who really needs to get a life.

You seem to feel that you have a better way. Why not go team up with Arator somewhere and make a website that you think is better than this one and beat this one the American way, in the marketplace?

No matter the reason why not, all you have proven to me is that you are not so much concerned with getting whatever message you have out, you are concerned with getting your message out here and you are concerned with trying to bring this site down. For the former, that means that you feel the need to leech off of Jim to get at the audience his forum has attracted. That makes you a parasite. For the latter, it just shows you are an ass.

The same is true for you of course, and then people may say things about you that aren't true and if I happen to still be here and I see it and I know it's false I'll correct them. See how that works? You remember learning about that concept?
I take that risk. I am comfortable with it.

I have been here for a few years. I have yet to see anyone who I respected (and yes, I respect quite a few folks on your side of the aisle) be removed and then lied about by Jim. Heck, I only know of 2 or 3 that have ever been suspended.

So either I happen to just interact with people who by some incredible amount of luck have avoided the "fate" you ominously talk about, or maybe my eyes aren't deceiving me and Jim actually runs this place pretty well.

Well, Mark how many more millions are you willing to accept? 10 million more? 25 million more? How about 75 million more? How many million more would be enough for you Mark?

Oh, and to answer your question, yes they are criminals because they entered our country illegally. That makes them criminals Mark. We are suppose to be a nation of laws Mark. We are a nation of laws, we are a nation of laws, keep repeating this, I am confident that you will understand.
