I certainly can understand your problem with stormfront, but I don't see their connection to these other sites and people that you list. Are you saying that Minuteman Project or American Patrol are somehow racist or neonazi in nature!? I'm sorry Jim, but I think that you're wrong on this one. It's your site, of course, and you can do what you want. But your unfairly banning people for posting legitimate articles from good authors which make valid points. It is no different from other sites banning posts from Free Republic because of the racist, neo nazi whackos they like to pretend post here.
For example, what SPECIFICALLY is wrong with:
American Patrol?
Rense.com?
Minuteman Project?
VDARE?
ALIPAC?
Frosty Wooldridge?
Save Our State?
9/11 Families for a Secure America?
Ether Zone?
News with Views?
Admittedly, I'm not very familiar with many of these websites or groups, but from what I've seen they're not a bunch of nazi racist militia freaks. Somewhat controversial or radical at times, but so is Free Republic.
I believe you made a mistake in banishing some good people and in prohibiting posts from certain websites. Oh well. I've never seen anyone change your mind on these kinds of things once you've made up your mind. But when California truly becomes Mexifornia and your home state is overrun and reduced to a third world hell hole (some California refugees who have moved into my area say it already has), I hope you rest well knowing what little you did about the massive illegal immigration problem that threatens our way of life here in America. All you had to do was be a little more fair about who posts what from where instead of tarring everything with such a broad brush.
The other side on this issue wins because you're too afraid to let material be posted from what THEY consider to be questionable websites. And when those "fringe" websites are prohibited, then what wasn't quite so "fringe" before is then considered to be on the fringe and you start prohibiting that. And so on. Before you know it you've been pressured into a mold that someone other than yourself desires you and your once independent website to be. Then, what would the point be? You can consciously or unconsciously try to appease your detractors, but they will never be appeased and will continue to attack and to put pressure on you to conform. Ultimately, it will lead to the defeat of your conservative goals.
But, as I said, it's your website. You can neuter it all you want. It will still be the best damned conservative forum on the web, it just won't be doing what it could in regards to our intolerable border security problems having ducked its head in the sand.
rense is an antisemitic version of artbell... and vdare is a motley crew of political malcontents and bigots of all stripes.
The author of the article appears to consider FR to be the questionable website.
