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.

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.

Forty to fifty FReepers posted in this thread who didn't have a problem with the graphic, including the first Mod you called in; three or four found the graphic inappropriate. You and TOUGH STUFF decided that only YOUR standards can apply and proceeded to systematically destroy the thread, and foul up whatever good I may have been able to do for this courageous man.

Don't take the high road here, it does not belong to you.

The graphic is still on the thread, and you haven't been able to do a thing about it.

Good bye, I have better things to do than to argue with you.

Oh, one last thing...I've printed this thread, and mailed it to Mr. Pasquale, graphic and all, I'm sure that he will thank you for nothing, just as he did the DNC.

"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."

Exactly! Well said and worth repeating.
