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.
And you telegraphed,loud and clear,that you are still wet behind your ears,kid.
As to bannings,keep this up and you won't be here much longer. ;^)
No, dude. I'm laughing right now.
Seriesly
Got Tinfoil?
oooooo. pretty hat.
The vast majority on this forum is not Bush Bashing or insanely delusional conspiracy theorists. You suffer from the "liberals" problem, who do not know that they are not a majority but rather a fringe minority.
Psssssssssssssssst.......go join FU;they'll adore you over there. :-)
I will send you a Reynold Aluminum roll so you can make even more tin foil hats.
I'll believe you when I can't log in any longer, there are people who do much worse than you or I on here who are still FReeping. Do a search of my comments. Dog threads, ZOT threads, Bush threads, comedy threads, and maybe, just maybe, if you read my commnets on this issue you will understand why I feel so strongly about this subject. I have elaborated in the past about my childhood in Yuma AZ. You can find it, i'm sure. As for me, I don't care what you are trying to do, i'm going to bed.
Yep. 80% is a fringe minority.
I'm only responding to this because I know the spirit in which it was posted.
If you seriesly wanted to make a statement, you shouldn't have revealed your motives weeks ago.
*cue Circus Music*
Seen the Moose and the Cheese threads?
They're funny too.
see 147.
gonna have to do better than that if you want me to take you seriesly too...
And since you are neither RBKA nor Viking Kitty,your posts on ZOT threads are of little consequence.I am usually on ZOT threads and since I don't remember any of your posts (and I have a far better than most,memory!),they can't have been much,pet.Stop breaking both your arms,patting yourself on the back. ;^)
1. Idiots who put up vanities for their assorted personal problems. I really could care less if your kitty is lost and you can't find a decent carwash.
2. The Social(ist) conservatives who do nothing but bash free market capitalism and would like to return to a world of smokestacks, union members and high prices thanks to high tariffs. Such populist idiocy wasn't as prevelent on this site when I first joined back in 2000.
3. The immigration is everything crowd that seems to post 70% of the threads these days. Yes, it is an important issue. I don't like people flouting our laws either. Nevertheless, some (not all) fall prey to racist stereotyping. It seems to me as they are not so much concerned with respect for the law as they simply don't want Juan and Maria moving next door.
4. The "statehood for Puerco Rico" crowd. Thankfully, they only hit this site every few months.
Best send a truck load...he wears not only a hat,but a full body suit and shoes. :-)
It sounds like you belong to that cult of Bush worshippers who believes that everything Bush says or does is the gospel and should never be questioned or criticized under any circumstances. Go ahead, jveritas, kneel and pray to your almighty and all knowing Messiah, President Bush. The rest of us will reserve the right to criticize President Bush if we feel it is justified. Just because we voted for Bush doesn't mean that we are obligated to agree with his every stand on every issue.
LOL!
What. A reply on the actual subject of the post? That cannot be! Must be one of those Bush Bashers....certainly couldn't be one of the OBL, we know how they like to mis-direct.
What kook conspiracy theories ?
Thanks, I agree, I do not understand Bush' position on this at all. I expect this from Kerry, but not from Bush.
That is good
