That is what is going on a lot where I live and I would love to get away from it. Any feedback would be welcome. Thanks!

By now you have seen a lot of diverse opinions expressed by "Guest." Actually, probably more than a handful of Guest(s).
The bottom line to me is that the political forum is a place where posters can hide behind the facade of anonymity. (Note that I have not hidden my name. It is not guest.)
Someone posted a comment about a father saying one should not discuss politics, religion, or taxes, sex, etc in polite company. Just realize that Guest doesn't necessarily buy that philosophy. So that being the case, I would say 10-25 actors out of 120,000 is not an intolerable percentage. Besides, some of the comments are worthy of good stand-up comedy.
Guest does not run around the squares screaming his/her views. Guest is not likely to suddenly jump on a soap box in Publix. It would be highly unlikely for a Guest flash mob to appear at The Sharon.
All in all, we are a community of caring, intelligent, inquisitive, and friendly People. You'll love it here, believe me. And while I'm not a Guest, I'll defend their right to be Guests, especially when I disagree. I even have friends that are Guest(s).
C'mon down.
