I joined freerepublic because I thought I would be with like minded people...I don't expect us to always agree but this bashing of our President lately has gotten out of hand. I didn't realize that we had so many control freaks and the sad part is...some of them are makeing charges that are untrue and some are using plain old heresay as fact. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I would think that everyone would be concentrating on the matters at hand like the war on terror. There is absolutely no excuse for their disruptive behavior...maybe they need attention???
I always respected Willie Green, American in Tokyo, George in BP etc. because they were SUPPORTERS of Buchanan. They posted interesting material that highlighted Buchanan policies that made sense. They were FOR something. Even in those threads, the anti-everything arsonists would show up and throw a Bush smear stink bomb into the crowd and a neat discussion of Trade just became a food fight. It's the same folks just wrecking stuff today. Feel good about Bush .... I'll put an end to that! Talking about the UN global-warming report that is being whizzed on by the Prez? Well here's 245i and his sellout to Fox! So on and so on.
This forum would be a wonderful launching pad FOR a Conservative Third Party. People could get behind the policies, principles and priorities they desired. They could work out a way to approach the Political process. Get someone elected. Generate a little forward mojo.
Pffft! There's none of that. There's no proactive strategizing on all these Immigration threads ... it's "Bush is selling us out to the Mexicans" "Jorge is giving away the Constitution to Fox" "We'll all be speaking Spanish before Bush is done" "They want to force their money and IDs here" ... blah blah bleccchhhh.
Do something, already! Find out what programs are being granted to Illegals in your county and schools, and report back to FR. Craft a political strategy. I'd follow that convo in a courteous manner. Do Anything but complain. Please!
