CA Guy, California Patriot, and norton; I appreciate the kind words, but what bothers me, in the event that this is in response to samadams2000's "drive by" in his post #2 is that a poster like him may be able to "trash" a serious and responsible thread by merely stopping by and using language he can anticipate will move the thread off of the news forum.

As I think the two of you and many others know, I have put no small amount of effort into expanding the scope of what is considered "available news" to FreeRepublic.com by taking the time to translate the articles I have posted. It is very much an attempt on my part to prevent the MSM from "controlling" our view of the Left in Mexico, and I submit in the larger region of Latin America as a whole, as a group who are something like "American liberals," just participating in a different political system. They are nothing of the sort. The Latin American Left as a whole, and Lopez Obrador's radical wing of the PRD in particular, are a true threat to the peace and stability of the western hemisphere and their activities can potentially impact our lives here in the U.S. in many ways. The immigration controversy may be the most pressing at the moment, but there are larger issues associated with trade, oil, and the image and influence of the U.S. in Latin America and the world at stake as well.

If this move is in response to samadams2000's post, then I submit it is a most unjust situation to move our discussion to the back burner just because a prejudiced Freeper chose to step in and kill a larger discussion.
