Of course being the anti-intellectual that you are this may be too much for you to comprehend.

Are you flaming me? I haven't seen anything from you that would qualify as a world scholar. But I could be wrong. You might be incognito and are here just to play with us. I bet that behind those feeble posts of your lurks a genius.

Katz,
You don't hate them I'm sure...But...You refuse to coexist and live by the mantra "live and let ,live"..Tea Party Mantra "my way or the hiway"...

And..."Obama out no matter how much it hurts our country as the end justifies the means....."

It is a very difficult battle when, seemingly the only resource is that which is seen and heard in the media or partisan talking points.

Keep it simple....just measure, whoever, promises made VS promises kept and the results obtained. The results + or - will speak for itself. Precisely why it is never addressed by the media.

The problem here is the use of the word "VIOLENT"

To say that is quote " I don't want to quell anger...I'm angry!"
is just plain silly.

??????????????????????????????? No idea where your coming from.

All of you grow up this is way we are in such a mess in the country.

Folks,
I do not usually venture into the Political forum much....I view it as a rough neighborhood in an otherwise wonderful town......BUT, it seems that some Moderator intervention is sadly needed.

Again, we need to remind everyone that this political forum exists to intelligently, RESPECTFULLY discuss current political topics.

Discuss the topic, not each other. Stop the name calling, rude, childlike posts or risk infractions, time outs, and possible banning. Folks that resort to such tactics only make themselves look foolish and bring disgrace to the whole forum and perhaps even The Villages.

We Moderators have been asked by many of you to give the Political forum a bit more leeway......and we have tried to do so, but if folks cannot behave themselves then we will be forced to intervene more often.....something we would rather not do.

Basically, play nice in the sandbox or risk being removed from the playground.

When I posted some statements by Republicans I found offensive you came back with a video and some statement proported to be violent. Just look at your post.

My comment was if you considered that statement to be VIOLENT it was just plain silly.

You still can't resist getting personal. It'll bite you eventually.

Totally uncalled for and that post is no better than person you referred to. I've read most of Ritchie's posts and he does not need any go to guy. He is quite capable of making good arguments to support his position. The political forum has deteriorated in the past two months but hopefully those kind of days are a thing of the past.

I continue to object to the allegations and intents that continue to tar the political forum with a stigma based on the few that may not be in time with the step others think they SHOULD be.
The beauty of the 1st Amendment is that we are allowed to say what we think without having to pass muster with those who constantly believe they are above it all and based on their belief or opinion or desire to call others on the carpet.

How about determining the character and quality of what gets said and done based on the majority for a change. There will always be a minority contingent in any quorum. When one wants to disparage content how about being specific about who or what ya don't like? When all gets said and done the complainers position is just another opinion....right or wrong....just like those they tend to rail against.

Politics and any related positions are controversial and turbulent. Thank GOD some of us have an ability to sort the wheat from the chaffe and not dwell upon the minority, low percentage participation bombastic verbalization!!
