Let's see; this is a forum called Talk of the Villages, which seems to consist of Villagers. So, since the majority of The Villages is Republican/Conservative, why would an outsider, liberal come on here and start crying about all the conservative bias? Beats the heck out of me how they think....if they do. So, when a liberal comes on here and runs his smart as... mouth, does he think that he will be applauded? Trouble is that he doesn't even converse in a civil manner, let alone with any facts pertaining to the thread.

So liberals, if you happened to wander into this forum and you are from Baltimore, or Orlando, or D.C. or any other liberal city, let me give you a tip. Find a high school, college or liberal TV blog to settle into where you can feel more at home. Some of us older folks won't cut you any slack. Since we are retired, we no longer have to be PC to keep our jobs.

So, to summarize quit crying. It's unbecoming and girly.

Let me take some time and defend any liberals who wish to post here and get involved in conversation.

I NEVER EVER want liberals to stay away from this forum. EVER.

This forum should be for an exchange of ideas and observations on current events. To only hear one side is simply a waste of time and silly. I INVITE ANY AND ALL LIBERALS TO VISIT HERE AND POST.


Having said that....as I have said many times. There are some wise, smart, well read, aware liberals in The Villages. We had them on the old political forum for a short while. They offered alternate ways of looking at things and I, for one learned from them. We had one guy who had great expertise in economics and I learned quite a bit from him, although in general we did not agree on political philosophy.

Being aware and being smart and knowing what is going on requires us to hear both sides of everything. While the internet gives us a lot of crap on many if not most sites, the advantage is you can investigate and read newspapers and such from all over the world.

Some do not choose to do that. I enjoy learning and I enjoy being aware of what is happening. I guess I get a bit annoyed and shouldn't at those who post and just do not know the facts. I am not smarter than other posters and factually can tell you I am dumber than most. BUT, on my behalf like the little guy on the football team, I put in the work.

PLEASE LIBERALS DO POST...DO SHARE IDEAS...DO BE A PART OF THIS FORUM....DO DISAGREE AND GIVE US YOUR VIEWPOINT.

THOSE WHO FOR THE MOST PART ARE REPRESENTING YOU, SIMPLY POLLUTE THIS BOARD WITH SMART ALECK IMMATURE POSTS INSTEAD OF PUTTING IN THE WORK AND KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON.

I got a phone call and was told to check out another website that supposedly
'serves" The Villages. This is from a poster named John who professes to live among us and read and post on here.

Is this how liberals view TOTV and The Villages developer, etc ????? Is this the representation of any liberals.....

This is his post....from today...

"Totv is a small, self selected, group of political extremists, mainly **********. They openly espouse their racism and bigoted views. If a person is poor, they are lazy. If a person is a democrat they are sucking at the teats of a poor, abused, republican. This small forum is comprised of the most disgusting human individuals I've ever seen, including those I've met in foreign wars. I can't stand them or their tea party loving ideals. The fact they are given a public forum is just beyond my comprehension, but based on the political views of the developer and his minions, I understand how it is allowed to permeate the net. They are a sad representation of the villages!

i was not going to supply a link but I think it needs to be done...

TOTV Love Fest Going On Now--- Here's the Team - Discussion on Topix

I may be talkative....I may be opinionated....I may be stubborn, but Lord do not allow my heart to ever ever go this black and dead.

If this is how our posters that are liberal feel, then we conservatives must take our leave and allow their hate to take over. I can discuss and debate, but comparing hate is not something I want to be involved in.

14+ years ago the boarder issue was not a bleak as it is today. Obama does not care who he lets into the USA as long as they are potential voters.

I'm sorry but I am not going to sympathize with liberals when they are lead by the divisive, racist Obama. They can come on here and cry all they want and be the victim, if they wish. It's time that they realize that there is a world out there that will not always coddle them. Sorry, but if you are looking for PC, then don't come on here with bad manners.

If liberals wish to discuss issues on here, it's not my website so go for it. But, don't cry about not being understood or respected when you come on here spouting things that the majority of posters on here find totally against their ideology.

You see, this is one of those places where the minority does not get coddled. We express our views whether it offends you or not. You have a choice of participating or moving on to another forum. Personally, I am interested in hearing the other side of the issue, but not if the opposing position results in a tantrum.

Orlando is a liberal city? Where are you from, Mayberry?

Define liberal? Define conservative? Define socialist? Define traditionalist? Define collectivism? Define individualism?

As Chris "tingle down my leg" Mathews said, "tell me the difference between Democrat and Socialist."

Bush, who liked to quote Reagan, was the man who decided he would save the middle east and got us into it. You break it, you bought it and get all the headaches that come along with it.

Yes, the look on his face as he was told what had just happened in NY and he continued to read to the kindergarden class. The first black president should have been Colin Powell, but they even managed to screw that up and throw him under the bus.

Bush responded to what America was screaming for, vengeance. Terrorists brought their war to us, and we responded. Congress, including Hilary and Kerry voted for the invasion. And yes, Bush did respond immediately by shutting down all air travel and secured the borders. Maybe some do not remember 9/11 but I remember exactly what I was doing at the time it happened.
Bush did get us into a war, and Obama being the pacifist he is, only wanted to chicken out of it and leave it unfinished. Being a weak "lead from behind" administrator, has emboldened terrorists to think they can bully the world. But, once we have a leader in the White House, terrorists will suddenly realize that not all Americans are as weak as a small minority of cowardly politicians.
If we had a Bush-like leader in the White House, I doubt there would have been an attack on France. Just my opinion. Terrorists are dedicated cowards. They will bully unarmed citizens and blow themselves up, but they are still cowards. They won't fight on an equal basis. And they know that America is leaderless right now and unable to organize and lead the world against them. That will change in a year, when we elect a stronger (Republican) president.

Our military trains to fight a war, not rebuild countries. We have warriors not peace corps volunteers in our military. Unleash them and allow them to do what they are experts at and the middle East will either toe the line or die. This is not the time for a weak leader. Another reason we don't want to elect Sanders, Hilary or Ran Paul.

And remember that in war there will be collateral damage; citizens killed. It's not something that we want to do, but sometimes necessary to achieve a resolution to the conflict. We dropped two big ones on Japan and won the war. Better to have collateral damage overseas than to have twin towers here.

Obama wouldn't close borders even to just ease our minds a little, even if he only had to close them temporarily. What's wrong with the Dem. voters? Didn't this Paris disaster mean anything to you & you think this will never happen here? How loud will you Dem. scream if one of your family members gets shot in the head or have a bomb go off right next to you child or grandchild. Obama is just showing his true colors & I don't mean the color of his skin!

With all due respect, I asked you to start a post on the five areas you would like discussed. Did you? Have you ever criticized any of the Republican wiseass cracks made on this board? You just accept them as fact. Whether you want to hear it or not you are driving down a lovely one way street. My post number 20 was an attempt to bring Republicans back to reality. You consider that a bad thing.

Obama's policies are criticized no matter what they are. You have turned a blind eye to that, but have no problem calling Democratic/Independent posters that response to unfounded things that Obama would do. Not did, but would do!

When I defend Obama and his policies, you call my posts tiring. There are only two of us Democratic/Independent on this board that I can see. There may be more. Your post that 100% or maybe 98% are not a defense of Obama, but an attack on posters is a down right lie. I guess you just off your royal white charger, and jumped in the gutter with a hellva of other posters on this board. I am sure they will welcome you with open arms.

Did I just attack you? You damn right I did. Maybe I just tried to support your statement about the 100% or 98%. I think that would require about another 1,000 posts like this to get somewhere near the 98%. Ignore the entire post, and underline one line in it, and attack that line. That seems to be the name of the game here.

Once upon a time before the internet, we were told if you were angry write a letter and get your anger off your chest, but don't mail the letter. Too bad we can't get back to the good old days, and that includes me. I have tried several times, but have failed big time.

Wishing you great luck with your endeavors !!

This is a forum to discuss issues and policies and current events, not other posters and what YOU want them to do.

President Obama, since he is President and responsible for US policies will get the most criticism and most mention.

Your post has nothing to do with any of this and is addressed at only one poster.
