Cue the blood curdling screams! Oh, the horror. JimRobespierre and the Parisian mob now rolling heads from the guillotine. Thunk! Thunk!

Viba Liberte! Viva le Free Republic!

[ambrose]

We don't see eye to eye on pit bulls and SUVs, but you sure as hell are doing the right thing in running those Confederate types off the forum.

[Dallas59]

Has FR beheaded anyone yet?...Oh...wait....cBS...

[k2blader]

Good grief. I'm against illegal immigration too, but this is crazy.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Oh yeah. THAT'S the problem with the world.

Not enough people on Free Republic who disagree with Bush's immigration policy.

I got banned from DU for saying Bush is a Nazi.

[A Jovial Cad]

LOL...FR Oui!; ZOT Non!

[GeronL]

darn, I hit abuse instead of reply... sorry about that =o)

The polarization of the electorate from 2000 election onward has polarized FR into an us or them mentality upon which dissent is not tolerated lest the unity of whole is destroyed.

These people haven't seen the immigration threads recently??? Are they blind?? Did they miss the poll?? What are these people talking about??

This is little less than an organized attack by the isolationists who call themselves conservative. They fail to see the facts in front of their very faces.

"In 2001 yours truly was banned from the website Free Republic for posting material from the League of the South. The reasoning behind my banishment was "we're not a secessionist website." This coincided with the banning of material, not just from LOS' website www.dixienet.org...."

Liar, Liar Pants on fire!

[MadIvan]

I don't know what's more insulting, Jim, that he's accusing you of intolerance, or that he's accusing you of acting like the French. ;)

Regards, Ivan

Care to come on over to this thread and comment? *Ping your whole silly crew...

...(snicker)...

[L.N. Smithee]

Scallon is a very good writer. If I didn't visit FR nearly every day, I might believe this crap.

[sinclair]

Oh boy, in before the ZOT. ;^)

[Fenris6]

Their "crime" is disagreeing with President Bush II's proposed amnesty plan for illegal immigrants who become "guest workers."

I disagree with President Bush's amnesty plan...

* waits for guillotine to fall *

I SAID: I disagree with Bush's amnesty plan...

[EternalVigilance]

But then you realize that it is not so strange in the wake of articles from Lew Rockwell, Paul Craig Roberts, Justin Raimondo and now Scott McConnell at the American Conservative (The Hunger for Dictatorship, American Conservative Feb. 14, 2005)...

Ironic. This bunch can't see the danger posed by Islamo-fascists, but see totalitarians where they don't exist.

I think that's known as being delusional...

[John Lenin]

If you haven't been banned once on FR you just haven't been around here long enough ...

[MarMema]

It's obvious they have not met you in person. I'm glad I had the privilege and honor. They just don't know.

Their "crime" is disagreeing with President Bush II's proposed amnesty plan for illegal immigrants who become "guest workers."
Hey Sean, I don't agree with the proposed amnesty plan and I'm still here. I've even posted gifs of my border solution (LOL), which Mr. Jim doesn't agree with.
His words, and I repeat them with some liberty, went something along the lines of "We don't want to have another Berlin Wall."
I've run afoul of several posters and have been given a time out and I'm sure I'm still upsetting some posters, yet I'm still allowed to post...as long as I maintain a sense of decorum and don't go overboard.
Did you miss the recent poll, Sean, on the guest worker program? I believe send 'em back and let 'em reapply for entry won. Methinks thou doth protest too much.
(and the snideness at the end was pretty low. you know that controlling what one posts, no matter who they are, is almost impossible to control)

[WindOracle]

set-up to worship Bush II as some sort of demi-god

***confused*** Wha... What?!?! Ya mean he ISN'T?!?!

[SubMareener]

These folks seem to have trouble with the fact that "Freedom of Association" includes "Freedom not to Associate!" The idea that one can set up a club that has definite, written rules offends their need to "do their own thing."

It has often been observed that the political fringes wrap around and meet each other in terms of tactics. Right wing thugs, left wing thugs, who can tell the difference? Another thing they have in common is saying that the Constitutionalists want to limit freedom through intimidation! The psychologist call this "projection."

[elhombrelibre]

The lad seems full of melodrama.

[Malesherbes]

All this does is serve to remind me how much I appreciate, and depend on, FR and that it is time to make a contribution again. Thanks, JimRob, and all who have helped this forum survive and flourish.
