Unfortunaly, some posters, especially on illegal immigration threads or any thread dealing with Hispanics, use Free Republic as a hate site in order to vent their hatred against ALL Hispanics be they illegal aliens or American citizens of Hispanic descent.
Case in point:

You're a crack up, PB. Dude like you is exactly who we're talking about when we make fun of the pompous, self impressed "Hispanic" ( always capitalized, right El Caudillo? 'Cuz y'all are such Important People, right? Legends in yer own minds... ).
Why am I "self impressed"?
Because I called you out for posting this trash on Free Republic?
You think that the fact that your family has lived in the mountains of the South for 10 generations makes you somehow better than any American citizen of, in your phrase, "Eeeespannic" descent and you think that makes whomever calls you on it "self important"?
And of course, the first thing you do is go off with yer "All ju damn Jankees eees Klansman!" rant.
No, Regulator, not "All ju damn Jankees eees Klansman!" .
I am a proud American citizen myself even if I am of, in your prase, "Eeeespannic" descent. (You seem to really enjoy mocking Mexican accents but I am of Cuban and not Mexican descent and my accent is East Coast generic. Out here on the West Coast, most people guess "New England".)
As I said before, I served for 20 years as a U.S. Naval Officer. My uncle, five years after landing on U.S. soil and four years after hitting the beach at the Bay of Pigs was severely wounded fighting for America at Landing Zone X-Ray at the Battle of Ia Drang and is referenced in the index of "We Were Soldiers Once... And Young" on seven different pages. My brother served in the 10th Mountain Division. However, for people like you, those of us of "Eeeespannic" descent do not count as Americans no matter how long we serve in the U.S. Armed Forces and no matter how much blood we shed on America's battlefiekds.
You, Regulator, are not Klansman material because you are a "Jankee".
You, Regulator, are Klansmen material because you post filth like this about your fellow American citizens of, in your vernacular,"Eeeespannic", descent that happen to be of a different ethnicity as yourself on Free Republic.
But, we can have a pissing contest amongst ourselves until hell freezes over on a thread that nobody but you and I are still reading to no purpose.
Better to let other Freepers decide.
There is a thread currently on Free Republic regarding Free Republic being called a "hate site" on the O'Reilley Factor.
I do not believe that Free Republic is a hate site. I would not post here if it were.
It is, however, self evident that some people such as yourself use Free Republic as a hate site and your posted comments about asking a lady of Mexican descent if her husband "has putas on the side" and your asking a fellow American citizen and Freeper "When ya gonna tell the rubes youza Eeeespannic?" are a perfect illustrative example to use for that thread to illusatrate that some bad apples do unfortunately disgrace Free Republic once in a while.
It is comments such as yours that get Free Republic unjustly labelled as a "hate site" in the national news media.
Wow. I’m not familiar with your argument, but you just did a very good job defending your case.
I have had some of my posts removed for suggesting a person might not be saved if they believed the teaching of the Bible was false. I wasn't supposed to make those kinds of judgments even if the subject matter was about Christianity.. If Dems used any sort of measure to regulate their posts, they would save 3/4 of their bandwidth. I'm sure 98% of the posts that are pulled here are from trolls that just came here from KOS to spread their venom. If the best argument you can make is "I know you are, but what am I?", then I think we are winning all the arguments.
I live in Texas and can understand why some people may get carried away with some of their rhetoric. It's certainly not the Texas I grew up in anymore. My best friend is Hispanic and I know the difference between American and illegal. So does he.
Thank you for your service to our country! Especially thanks for su Tio attempting to free his Cuban homeland from the Socialist plague and then his valiant sacrifice to his adopted country!
Oh yea....that one needs a zoting for sure.
Hear! Hear!
Thank you!
Just reading over the thread and came across your excellent post. Truth shines a powerful light.
God bless you, and thank you, and your uncle, for your service to our country.
