(1) He lost the election for the NC 5 seat to Congress. Never mind that he had zero experience and pretends to be qualified merely by being "Conservative."
(2) He signed up on this site for one reason: he thought that by espousing Conservative ideals that he'd win the support of us in the NC 5th. However, he found that we are a tough lot out here. We ask tough questions and we don't simply roll over for every fresh face that has an "R" in back of their names. And it was pretty evident that he was trying to use us. And thus...
(3) He got banned. Multiple times, IIRC.
So now, in an effort to remind people that he still exists, he's finding things to write about in the hopes (presumably) that Virginia Foxx will either die in office or otherwise retire so that he can get another shot at this seat.
So with that, tarheels, keep watch: young Nate ain't goin' away quietly.
Thanks for the NC ping.
Free Republic is not biased, it is confused. There are many good conservative Americans there. The owner is biased on some issues, such as Illegal immigration and the Minute Men Project. He’s for the former and against the later, just as Grover Norquist is.
90% of the forum supports the MMP and he is now in a quandary, because he can’t ban them all or even allow them to know how he feels at this point. Instead he allows/condones half a dozen long held self admitted liberal disruptors, Harrowup, ClintonBeGone, Dane, bayourod, etc. to attempt to run off the opposition with lies, race baiting, slander while holding to the one principle that keeps the forum alive, that being most posters won’t bother to find out the facts, they’ll just follow the leader having no idea where he’s going.
Immigration threads are often stuffed in the smoky back room to try to keep their exposure at a minimum when they are not deleted. In his own words:
This thread has been pulled.
...lies, race baiting, slander? Rather, I would say we had a rather long, lively, and interesting discussion. I reference: "Costs of Illegal Immigration to Texans[Senators Threaten Immigration Amendments to War Bill].As far as MMP discussions, I have participated in many and the room was neither smoky nor in the back. I reference another of many: Minutemen find signs of border-crossers-Locals estimate illegal entries at 30,000 per month
Let's face it how much can one really say about immigration and our borders without becoming redundant. Twas the same with the Schrivo scenario; you are either on one side or on the other; and perhaps vacillating in the middle. Makes for great debate and fact checking. Posters just cannot take it personally--so much for the leap to whining over on TCV.
As someone once said , "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the fire". Good advice.
