I too gre up in a small rural town and watched the Mexicans move in. Now it is 99% Mexican and looks just like Mexico.

Another posting nazi. I have not seen this before. Not everyone is on FR 24/7. Glad you posted it, afraidfortherepublic!

I drove through his area after being on Stanford Campus, at the arboretum, when Sowell announced his retirement. Thought of them both and the Hoover Institute quite a bit at Christmas.

Well, maybe I’ll just post it every time I see the
article posted again. How does that blow up your
skirt?

Posting nazi, is it? For the first and only time I
question the posting of an article I have seen posted
thrice before and that makes me “posting nazi”? You on
loan from DU?

Doesn’t blow up my skirt at all; I don’t have one.

“You on loan from DU?”

Oh no, you found me out! :)

My only point is that most people are not on FR all the time, and when they get on they usually only scan through he first page of postings, so if it doesn’t appear in the first page they miss it. So reposting something that doesn’t appear in the first page is quite useful for most people, and I think that is the official posting policy in FR.

It used to be you could “bump posts to the top” by simply commenting on it, but that’s gone. I wish there was a separate listing of “most commented posts”, so that one could easily get to the posts with the most interest.

I do understand your point and I don’t mind a repost
or two. I am actually a fan of Victor Davis Hanson,
also although he was among the NR contributors who
dogpiled on Trump. I do believe I had seen that
particular post 3-4 times already on FR. Some thread
posters check the search function before posting but
I will admit that many do not.
