I can name 20 screen names in 5 seconds of those like us who are most likely to be found here...and also 50 other screen names in 5 seconds who would never, ever visit these threads, and who would be more likely to beat you and me with a cyberspace two-by-four for consistently "coming out" on this topic.
Like you, I notice that every time an anti-illegal alien, pro-America "FReeper" dares to criticize Bush's policies on one of the more "mainstream" threads, they are practically tarred and feathered...
Gradual, legal, immgration with an emphasis on assimilation made this country great, but that era is past. The present situation will turn the US into Yugoslavia. Bush and the GOP are failing to address the greatest threat to this country and we have not found a way to make the GOP pay attention. Bush may lose the next election because a good portion of his base is so angry with him, but he is betting on the axiom that there is no where elese for these voters to go. He is mistaken. Even if there is no realistic third party alternative, many conservative voters will just go fishing.
