From reading the first and last pages of this particular one, they clearly know they are the ones in power here and know they can insult, attack, etc. with impunity.
I have been on FR for many years but I think this may be my last post, I am literally fed up with it.
The least you could do is post an Opus ;)
Seriesly, I'm getting to be more and more a border-bot as each day goes by, but I am not very proud of my political allies on this issue. FR has ALWAYS purged "pitchforkers" - they don't want to become a right-leaning version of DU (angry and fringe). One trick many border bots have been using in this banning squabble, you just employed:
"who instantly show up on any immigration thread and start attacking the more conservative posters"
"Conservative" covers a lot of ground, yet in this context, you have narrowed it to someone who is hawkish on the border. I've seen this kind of behavior in social conservatives, tax hawks, deficit hawks, libertarians, judicial watchers, etc. Each group has members that deine conservatism as their view on their "issue".
Conservatism is much bigger than that. I am a social conservative, 100% for the WOT and Iraq, a little squishy on taxation/regulation, and am in favor of a wall, a guest worker program (later - and applications have to be made in the country of origin), and NO path to citizenship for illegals - at all. Yet many here, from many camps, tell me I am not "conservative".
Just don't like the word game. "Conservative" is NOT defined as "close the borders and deport all illegals". That may be a subset (although I don't agree), but it is not THE definition.
