HORSESCENSOREDT!
The crypto and not-so-crypyo fascists started to badger her the instant they found out she was Jewish.
I think if you just type "horseshit" it censors it for you.
Then again, I could be wrong...
Yes, you are, but of course you're used to it by now.
I felt bad about all the abuse you've been getting here recently, so I handed you an easy putdown. I'll try not to let it happen again.
You're all heart, jj.
Yes. But remember, you owe me one.

The Horsefeathers are all yours, mate! Yes, a couple of ST members belong to a small, but legal, far-right party. But in general, Nuttie was welcomed and her views appreciated. No one badgered her because she is Jewish. But, on the other hand, the fact that she is Jewish was not seen as a reason not to disagree with her when people felt she was mistaken.
And ... by the way... the owner of the site is Jewish, as you know. I also am of Jewish extracion. Neither of us has ever been on the recieving end of any discourtesy on that account, and for you to allege that ST is anti-semitic is a gross distortion. But I think you know that.
Do we really need a war between British and US conservatives?
I was going to comment more specifically, but the ramblings are just so far fetched that I wouldn't know where to start.
British and American conservatives have to a degree parted company. Our priorities are now quite different.
In Britain, we have some special priorities:
the sovereignty of our nation has been compromised and is further threatened;
our traditions and institutions are threatened;
our Conservative Party has been in opposition for many years;
immigration is uncontrolled;
we are seeing the advent of a police state; and
we are still threatened by the IRA.
There are some odd conflicts of interest at FreeRepublic. Some Freepers are supporting NORAID whilst otherwise preaching a "war on terrorism". I mailed the moderator about that and received no comment. How can a US Conservative board post a press release from a terrorist organisation and let it stand?
I'm also perplexed by the suggest at FreeRepublic that the Brits are very racists whereas the Yanks are not. That represents an interesting position when shown on a continuum: if the British are totally racist and the Yanks are totally non-racist, who sits in between?
Fortunately, outside Freeperland a large amount of goodwill exists between our two nations. And conservatives across national boundaries should work together.

A new right wing is emerging on the back of EU intergration and immigration. WE now have 3 and a half mainstream parties: Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and the UK Independence Party.
That is a profound difference, and it affects the way people think about politics.
Do the British still commonly refer to themselves as subjects rather than citizens? I've always found the term subject somewhat disturbing.
Officially we are citizens but in the presence of the Monarchy it is common to be referred to as a subject. Cannot say that happens evry often though.
I took a look at both sites, FreeBritannia and Sterling Times.....both are interesting, a little difficult to navigate but thats due to my errors not the sites!...All the best to you.

You quidnunc, it IS possible that MadIvan HAS A LIFE AWAY from the computer! He's got a couple of other sites that he manages, so I imagine THAT keeps him pretty busy.
