Someday you will get your board back? This forum belongs to conservatives? I think not. It is for the give and take of information from all who want to post on it.
Read the postings before making a snap decision. I wrote on an earlier posting on this thread: "No doubt you could find plenty of things on both sides of the aisle all the way to the top rungs that need fact checked - but this was only about the Republican debate last night."
I also stated that if there was a Republican candidate who was vastly superior to those currently in the running that I might very well vote for him over President Obama - but not with this bunch of contenders.
That is "flaming" or a "fringe group"? Personally, I think it shows a very open mind.

1. My post had nothing to do with conservative or liberal...Republican or Democrat, and the fringe group are those, in my opinion, in the fringe group are those that find it necessary to make up little demeaning names for people.
2. My reference to "getting the board back" was to the fact that this forum at one time consisted of folks who did research, presented it and shied away from the cute names that seem to dominate some folks posts. It is amazing how you can disagree without the venom and name calling. We still have folks who do that by the way. It was not left, right or Republican or Democrat...it was a thought out position presented without the slams and cute little side names. Oh people would criticize the "other party" whoever that might be, but not by calling them the names that the hate mongers come up with. They did it with a bit of respect and with facts.
I thank you, whatever name you are using today for defining the board for me.
3. The fact that you don't get this sends quite a message.
I respect both sides and frankly while I have opposed President's stand on issues from the outset and still do, many points have been made that sent me out to investigate and read and I came away better informed. Calling someone a bozo or whatever the name of the day is, flat out stops me from even listening anymore to whatever has to be said. Those comments are made to make the poster feel better I would assume and serve no purpose.
