If I recounted here, the emails I received, then Jim would have to ban me or at least delete my post. It was raw racism, from people who quoted and referred me to that site. As time went by the discussion deteriorated into attacks on Catholicism. My candidate was a conservative Republican running for governor of a large state. Slow down there, Turbo. But you said that you got "disgusting hate-filled garbage" FROM American Patrol. Now you say you got racist stuff from people who simply quoted American Patrol. Now, which is it?

(for I am gone and will not stick around to accept the abuse that will surely come raining down on me for posting this from what has become the North Korea of the Internet) Oh, please.. accept the abuse!
You obviously need the validation such abuse would provide.
You matter, man.

Anyway the point was that NPR is supposed to be bias-free, yet we're paying for it. So there is NO parallel whatsoever with FR and NPR.
Glad you finally made that clear.

Jim, you're doing a fine job. I haven't noticed anyone that disagrees with the Presidents immigration stand being kicked off. Seems like the article is crap.

We were talking on another thread the other day about trollish behavioral patterns the other day... ...Not all who claim to be conservatives really are. Some are just trollish infiltrators, drunk on their own cleverness.
I wish I'd seen that discussion. Lately, I've been thinking the same thing - I've been reading discussions that are so odd that I too began to conclude there were way too many "trollish infiltrators" posting in these these days.

is shameful that Free Republic is starting to go PC after all of these years. But, hey, it's Jim's sandbox. He can do what he wants...Message to those who think this is worth leaving FR over...
Don't let the IP hit you on the way out...

I see open borders on hhe Canadian border and no uproar.Gosh, I wonder why. (sarcastic smirk :o)
Just how many men & women would it take to close both borders?
What's with the "both" thing? You'd also have to close the beaches, too. (The Coast Guard can't handle the existing maritime immigrant smuggling as it is; closing the land frontiers would move that traffic to the sea.)
The United States has over 19,000 miles of frontier, much of which is thinly populated. Securing that much perimeter would take a significant chunk of the US citizenry.

Once again, I was not posting on an illegal immigration thread, rather, I was addressing the issue at hand.
Kudos to you for discovering that LA is on the "Front Line". Having been born, raised, then raised my own family there, I am faintly familiar with the area.
Keep making excuses for the lad if you like, but I've found it less than productive to encourage those who refuse to get a grip.

The people who get banned are those who break the rules.
It has nothing to do with views on immigration, since the vast majority of us either vehemently disagree with the President's policy, or at very least are highly concerned with it.
Therefore your article is a lie, and you should admit it and apologize.

"But it's kind of like a tree falling in the forest. If no one bothers to listen to him anymore(except for Potato Head Russert), does it matter? He has zero credibility. How many people give a spotted owl's behind what al gore has to say? This weekend, we'll probably have the deaniac all over the talking head shows."
But 48% voted for him.
He needs to be finished off.

It has been repeated so many times that Hispanic immigrants are "diluting our culture", "abusing our welfare system", "destroying our neighborhoods", "having lots of babies", "drug dealers", "criminals", "lowering our education standards", "drive without insurance", "don't assimilate fast enough", etc...that some people simply don't realize how racist those statements are.Those statements are not the least bit racist, even if they're completely false (though in many cases they're true).

The way things are going I expect a resurgence of the "America First" types.
No need to expect it, RWA. They're already here.

Thank you,Jim.
I have had the pleasure of the FR experience for quite some time now and love every minute of it. There's no other website in the cyberuniverse like it. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but because many of the folks here are,i've learned a lot.I recommend this site to everyone who's tired of the status quo,and want refreshingly different dialogue with a splash of humor....
Yes, you might say FR is my daily tonic! :)

I think the back row is the best place to observe, no one expects you to shine and you can observe and learn without being bothered.
