This is supposed to be a DISCUSSION board. The fact that those who support what congress and the WH are doing remain silent should not be a condemnation of those who do not.

Those who have differing opinions have the same right to post as others....they CHOOSE not to have their voice heard. The words we hear is about "personal attacks"...that is patently absurd and without keeping score I believe the "attacks" are shared evenly. Having said that....

I am not sure of the word to use to describe anyone who would come on here and LECTURE those who post their feelings......if you dont agree, make your point post it and see what develops, but coming here criticizing someone because of how they feel and then taking down anyone who posts here is somehow very wrong !
