Differences of opinion are what makes America great. Belittling those with differing views does nothing but to invite belittling responses. I always felt that we Villagers were a fairly intelligent lot, but I guess I was wrong.
This is not a place for any kind of exchange of ideas, but just a dumping ground for the worst elements of both sides of the political spectrum. It should be avoided by all thinking Americans.
On the other hand, we have the right to speak our minds, no matter how callously. This is one of the many things that makes America great. Just be prepared for the worst should you venture onto that forum.

Please do not paint with too wide a brush. Do you read all the posts or scan a few? I have learned that a few posters never seem to read other posters comments and are more anxious to respond.
There are a number of posters to Polticial Talk with civil tongues and respectable IQ. These same posters have begged Admin to remove the epsilons and trolls from this forum but the pleas seem to have gone unanswered. So it has become a no man's land
I love to discuss both politics and religion but I found that some folks believe name calling is their argument. So I ignore the attacks and focus on the subject matter. Perhaps what the Political Talk needs are more people like you that will benefit the group and if we got more like you we my be able to suffocate out the epsilons and trolls
Personal Best Regards
