Why were you waiting to hear "racists!"?
Could it be because you know that on FR these threads have a reputation of attracting racist comments?
Of course you do.
By the way, I didn't say "racists".
I said "One word. Bigotry."
Try to be accurate when you use quotation marks.
One's opposition to pandering couldn't POSSIBLY be for any serious reason now could it? (sarcasm off) Take your insinuations and go back to playing Simcity or whatever it is the immature gamers play with these days.
Why don't you try going back an reading my post again so you can respond to what I actually posted.
The question was;
"Why the dissappointment that Hispanics are open to the message of conservatism?"
If you can think of why some conservatives would not want Hispanics to be conservative as well, besides bigotry...then YOU TELL ME.
But spare me these rants over things I never posted.
Ok?
racism
Are you saying that ONLY people at DU are capable recognizing racism?
Well you're wrong.
There are good and decent people at FR who confront racism when they see it.
I'd like to remind you that people like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, et al, the first people who use that word are the real racists and that most of the people at free republic don't feel like you do, that Republicans who are anti-immigration are racist.
What are you talking about?
Where did I say "Republicans who are anti-immigration are racist."???
I suggested that the reason why some conservatives are dissappointed that "Hispanics are open to the message of conservatism" was bigotry.
Perhaps you can respond to what I actually posted instead of flying off the handle at hot button words.
bigotry
at some decent people here.
Implying that people who don't agree with YOU are the bigots. Again, it is YOU who is Mr. Hot Button.
BTW I hear that DUh is looking for a few good people to throw the words bigotry and racism around.
Maybe you should apply?
As for your bigot quote, you should either introduce specifics where I spoke in a prejudiced way against hispanics in general or retract and shut up.
The answer is a resounding "NO", and THAT should be the real bottom line for those who support the legacy of Washington, Adams, and Madison.
How should I know?????
Who ever said you did???
What posts are you reading?
My point is that just because they vote for Bush does NOT equate them with being for smaller government, equal rights and the rule of Law. Once again, just wait till a Rat is in the White House. Then their "alligence" will evaporate pretty damn quick for if their support is founded upon getting "goodies" rather than being identified with a way of governing the left does a better job.
Maybe. But there is always the hope that they are voting for Bush because they genuinely identify with conservative values.
And that is something conservatives should welcome, not resent.
As for your bigot quote, you should either introduce specifics where I spoke in a prejudiced way against hispanics in general or retract and shut up.
Huh?
Show me where I ever said you were a bigot or prejudiced against hispanics.
You can't because I never did.
I can't believe how paranoid and defense you are.
You see the word "bigot" in a post and automatically think it is talking about you. LOL
And d@mn that pesky ol' U.S. Constitution, eh? What parts are worth enforcing and which parts are cosmetic fill-ins? Guess it depends on which way the "political" winds are blowing from now on in...
Bush isn't doing that with any racial group. He also isn't doing it to Latinos/Hispanics, because they aren't a specific racial group.
Good point. There are white Hispanics, black Hispanics, Indian etc. etc.
It's unfortunate that some need to throw the race card into this debate.
