I respectfully request an explanation as to why this post was moved from the "News" forum to "Bloggers and Personal." I submit that the content here does not match the criteria for "Bloggers and Personal."

There are a number of Freepers who have been following the Mexican post-election controversy closely and I think I can state that we all have been a responsible group maintaining the highest standards of Freeper behavior and attention to FreeRepublic.com's rules. We have been joined by other interested Freepers on a regular basis and I believe I can argue that we have presented some of the most informed discussion, and genuinely in support of conservative principles, present on this board.

If this was in response to samadam2000's "cesspool alert" post, then please remove it and return the thread to the News/Activism forum where I believe it belongs. But if not, then please explain why the thread was moved.

Yes, and it qualifies as News far more than most threads.

If I may join in here. poster StJacques has spent a lot of time translating articles and posting them on FreeRepublic, and not as a personal blog, but as an ahead of the curve effort. There is nothing "cesspool" about what he has been doing.

Thanks for your hard work on the translations.

Yes, this should be moved back to news - it's not a blog or anyone's personal opinion, but an original translation of a Spanish-language article on the Mexican election, which some FReepers have been following.

Unfortunately, most of us don't read Spanish as well as StJacques and wouldn't be able to follow the story by clicking on the link. The U.S. MSM has been largely ignoring the story, which has potential implications here if the situation in Mexico gets worse.

With great respect towards those in charge at FR, I do agree with you.

You have been translating for us the various Mexican papers to keep us apprised of what could end up being the next Mexican revolution.

You are NOT taking us to your personal blog and just because you are acting as a translator for us, there is no reason IMO to consider your deliveries of these important articles and issues as your own blog/comment on the issues.

I think you have been translating with maybe a comment or two after the issue is posted. You have not to my knowledge been posting your opinion as translation...

I think FR doesn't see a lot of this, so maybe they did not know how to handle this, but IMO this is the most BREAKING of Breaking News.

There is a potential Mexican Revolution breaking out IMO.

Keep up the good work and thanks for you efforts to keep us informed.

Political events of this nature, in a not entirely trustworthy but VERY proximate neighbor, certainly are news.
I can chat anytime about old cars and various bits of militaria & history.
I have to live with any fall out from the mexican election and I am certainly keen on gaining some understanding of the apparent lunacy following it.

I agree - this is not a blog but is an ongoing thread on the Mexican elections, similar to - but with more news and less chit-chat - the daily ME thread that's been running for several weeks now. This is an important situation that is barely being covered by the press in this country, even though it could affect the future of us all. What would happen if we suddenly have an ally of Chavez and the mad mullahs just across the Rio Grande?

Other than a few raving bigots who occasionally hop on the thread and say something nasty about Mexicans, I'd say everyone else maintains it as an exemplary news thread, current and full of shared analysis and information from other sources.

Just so, and well said, Saint!

Thanks again for the latest -- NOT, as I've pointed out several times, available in any English-language LBM.

FReegards, mate!

If this isn't breaking news what is?
