"A HOUSE DIVIDED" - Pukin's FReeperversary Rant

[Toby06]

In honesty, I though it was out in the 700 post mark, not less than 100 like it was.

I named my dog "Sit." I thought it would be cool, but it's a nightmare.

Your words are just what many on this site need to hear. For the last year (at least) and especially for the last few weeks, the tone on FreeRepublic has become nasty, venomous, and VERY un-conservative. I myself have gone into lurker mode, putting my two cents into any discussion only infrequently. Many others, I'm sure have done the same. Getting blasted for an honest opinion, regardless of how defensible, sucks!

Anyway, this was a timely and 'right on' rant. Tip of the hat to you Pukin, and keep on FReepin.

Regards Don C.

So...Laffey it is. I am assuming you are from RI?

Heavens no. Nebraska. A state so Republican that the Dims are on the endangered species list. IOW, the political paradise most FReepers dream of. Unfortunately, we're not as conservative as we are Republican. That's one reason I focus so much on conservative issues. It does little good to turn a Dim into a Republican. But turn a Dim into a conservative and you've got something.

Another thing that I can't help but wonder about is why hardly anyone seems to be talking about the elephant in the room: That we're debating whether to give citizenship to a minimum of 10 million future Democrats who will turn right around and ship in another minimum 10 million future Democrats. It seems that for some reason talking about the political implications of all this is just taboo, as if that's 'beneath' us or something.

Or maybe there really is this absurd delusion that the illegals will vote Republican once they're granted citizenship. LOL

This brown-nosing mushy-moderate monologue is "News", while illegal aliens shooting at Americans in a Waffle House is quickly moved to "Chat".

That is because of the potential for damage for this site by the Bush Whackers.

I think the Sessions amendment can be seen as a signal (or indication) that security and enforcement take precedence.

[yellowdoghunter]

I wonder if this thread has brought us all closer together...:)

There will be butter cream icing between the layers.

"I'd say the 10,500,000 coming from the southern border, where there's also an increase of "OTM's" by 137%, deserves greater attention."

Personally, given that the two largest Islamic fundamentalist enclaves (that means centers for the extremists) outside of the Muslim world are in Canada, that we already know those centers played a part in 9/11 and one of their folks was caught trying to bring a car load of explosives into the U.S., I'm actually more concerned with the northern border.

Unlike the southern border, much of the northern border includes vast tracks of forests, lakes, rivers, mountain ranges and the Great Lakes which are harder to observe then the southwest.

It's not just the President who makes us (conservatives) what we are.

In the end, it's us.

I have more faith in our strength after our primary elections here in PA.

We do have the power to make change, if we will only get off of our collective asses and act like true Americans.

If you don't believe me, look what we did here in PA.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I am optimistic the House will hold strong regarding ENFORCEMENT and SECURITY FIRST. Passage of Session's amendment has given me hope.

They never want to discuss that one, AntiGuv. But this will be the last election for the GOP in our lifetimes if they allow this amnesty to go through.

This thread has morphed into an airing of grievances...here's mine.

What do you think this is? Festivus?

[pollyannaish]

Lucky you.

You have the luxury of voting for more and more conservative candidates with a chance that they can actually win. Here, we just try to get the seats in the R column so that the conservatives can lead. It's all about control.

And it's nice to know I'm something. I used to be a Dim. A dim Dim, because I was a serious liberal to boot. Then of course, I grew up and caught a clue.

I haven't been around much, but I'm glad I stumbled across this thread. It's an excellent analysis and right on the money.

Well, how they will vote doesn't animate me much. They will vote like Italians voted. They will not be that off out of the mainstream, and polls on issues show that they are only somewhat left or right of center, depending on the issue. In about 3-4 generations, a majority of them will be Republicans. That is about how long it took the Italians. I do have some concern in the meantime, that then Hispanics are 60% of the likely voters in California, they will vote in politicians that remind one of politicians in Mexico. Just a thought.

Do you reside in a red state?

Where there was hope left in Pandora's box. I hope you are right.
