"Regarding the ridiculous harrassment you've received regarding your choice of graphic? Folks are free to dislike it, but many here descended to the level of petty attacks and insults."

You and Luis are above petty attacks and insults? Give me a break. To people who disagree with him, Luis is one of the most insulting posters on these threads and you're not far behind him. His personal attacks and petty comments to those who would criticize him deservedly beget more of the same.

Profanity isn't petty, and it is also not protected speech. A society that resorts to its common use eventually degenerates into a society which not only permits the pornography you are fighting, but oppresses truly protected free speech from fine citizens and patriots like Mr. Pasquale. Of course people like you aren't bright or intellectually honest enough to understand the connection.

I was already well aware of Mr. Pasquales predicament. He will receive a donation from me despite Luis, not because of him.

And since when did you become Judge, Jury and executioner?

I apologize for bumping into your ivory tower. You really need to sit down and listen to yourself sometime... your entire post was almost word-for-word what I get from a neighbor Greenie when he's on one of his Politically Correct rants.

Yes. And this is what I meant by saying people like Luis (or people -- us, on opur side) who do this blur the line between conservative and liberal and cause a general confusion and apathy.

It dilutes the true conservatism and values that emanate from it that we do need to win this war.

If we comport ourselves along the lines of the profane and obscene liberals, e.g. Whoopi Goldberg we just alientate many allies and weaken our own base and positions.

I saw a great post on this topic where the Pizza man is being selectively cited because the democrat powerbase of Boston doesn't like the sign near the convention. The sign is too good.

But then to have it followed by an oscene graphic made worse by the fact that it is Uncle Sam making the obscene gesture just tarnishes the thread.

Luis, I think your heart is in the right place but you need to clean up your act a bit.

Stop lowering yourself to Whoopi Goldberg level and going on attack at the slightest or fair comment.
