If you want to destroy a political forum then turn it into a conspiracy theories haven. This is exactly what is Democratic Underground known to us as Dummyland. At DU the lefties are running all type of insanely delusional conspiracy theories ranging from election fraud, to Bush is going to kill or imprison every Democrat in the country.
On the other hand Free Republic is the best political forum on the internet because the vast majority of posters use logic and facts to express their opinions and comments regarding a particular subject. Unfortunately in the last two months there have been a flood of threads on Free Republic where the conspiracy theory crowd have been living it a large. These threads deal with the illegal immigration issue and many of the posters on these threads used every conspiracy theory under the sun. These insanely delusional conspiracy theories tell us how President Bush is going to Mexicanize America, how he is going to destroy the American economy, how he is going to annihilate our culture and on and on and on. President Bush has been savagely attacked by these posters and he was called all type of names. These threads are being now the Bush bashing forum on Free Republic.
Leading the brutal attack against President Bush are the Buchanin loyalists and 3rd party voters. Yes you can go ahead and show a poll on FR where the majority disagrees with President Bush guest worker program but the vast majority of those are not hatefully attacking President Bush. The hate campaign is lead by a fringe group on FR and this fringe must no tarnish the reputation of this great forum.
We can disagree with President Bush on his illegal immigration plan but we should do so in a constructive and logical way. We must not allow these threads of immigration issue to be hijacked by the fringe that will turn into a “Bash Bush Party”, spread insanely delusional conspiracy theories on Bush plan to destroy America, and spew a lot of racism directed toward Latinos. In the same way the fringe is going after any freeper who disagrees with their Bush bashing and crazy conspiracy theories and accuse him or her of being a supporter to illegal immigration, wanting to destroy the nation, helping the terrorists, and on and on and on.
We should always remember that the Republican Party is the ruling majority because we were able to get ride of the fringe in our party, the Buchanin loyalists and extremists who turned into 3rd party voters.
Free Republic is the greatest of all political forum on the internet, let us keep it this way and let us prevent it from being hijacked by a fringe of Bush basher and insanely delusional conspiracy theorists.
Who do you really work for?
What do you know, and when did you know it?

The safeguard against that is the rule that you can't post vanities on this forum.
ok...
This personal screed borught to you by an illegal lover.
All your political forums belong to us...
Who's Buchanin?
well... I'm confused. why was this posted?
So how much did Karl Rove pay you to post this?
Uh, inaction on illegal immigration is a serious, serious problem. Regarding racism towards Latinos, overt racism isn't tolerated here - and conversely, many Latino groups scream "racism!" at anyone questioning the status quo regarding immigration.
Are you interested in clearing the waters? Or stifling debate? on and on.
"gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism"
Says nothing about Republican....
Hey, I have plenty of problems with Bush. I think it is important to discuss those as well as the good things. We would be more like DUmmyland if we did not. Any dissenting opinion about the 'Great Liberal Agenda' is discouraged over there. In fact you get banned. I personally walk lockstep with no man or party. Ws immigration policies SUX.
Personally, I don't believe you're that sharp. In fact, speaking of conspiracy theories...
A lot of the Buchananistas went radio silent (or were banned) prior to the 2000 election...
And then a bunch of people who claimed "Well, I voted for Bush, but Buchanan's da man on immigration, and I'm NEVER voting for Bush again..." showed up right after the 2000 election.
Does this mean I can put away my tin foil hat??
Hah! You should have seen it here in 1998. There was no accusation too wild to be believed and added to the catalog of the Administration's crimes. We looked a lot like DU does today back then. Fortunately, FR has grown up quite a bit. ;)
