This is very evident when Obama, Iraq, government spending, etc are discussed (what passes as discussed). The facts are ignored and emotions rule.

Your point is well grounded. I try to give links to what I say to avoid doubters on facts, and find that so many just do not read what is presented.
I give kudos to some of the earliest members of political back in 2008, and even before that in the political forum predecessor. While I had many disagreements with some very liberal posters, it was never even close to anyone trolling. They READ and then responded in kind with backup and posts filled with information.
I can honestly say, as a conservative,I learned a lot from those folks, and while we surely jousters, never was I done in JUST that manner and the little asides were done with the understanding that I read your post, did not agree, and here is why..followed by substance instead of mockery.
