According to the New Oxford American Dictionary, the term "teabagger" is defined as "a person who protests President Obama's tax policies and stimulus package, often through local demonstrations known as "Tea Party" protests (in allusion to the Boston Tea Party of 1773)." Stop with the accusations that it is anything other than this meaning on the Politics forum. Moderator ...

I am bringing a topic back to the board, which I previously had deleted. I was wrong in deleting this message and my apologies to the OP of the post. This does indeed have everything to do with politics and I'd like to thank you for bringing that to my attention. I do make mistakes, and this is one that I should have left as is, so I will copy here what the message had originally said. If I've missed anything and you would like to add to it please do so. Your o ...

This is a political board for discussion of political issues. This board is not for general messages claiming posters are being run off the board. Do not post a generic message telling new posters to not get discouraged, etc. Insults are coming from all sides. One party does not dominate over another when insults are being thrown. Everyone here is an adult and I'm sure we know how to ignore certain messages. This is a political election year and emotions are high.&n ...

Posters need to get in control. I have just started going over posts and what I'm reading is not good. I will be spending the weekend going through all posts, but if its as bad as what I'm reading now it's going to be a long weekend. On the issue of Clint Eastwood. He was called a foul and disgusting name. It got deleted. If someone called George Clooney that I would have deleted it too. If someone says something about Obama it stays just like if som ...

Reading some of the messages and emails I have received I wanted to bring attention to the fact that posts are going past reasonable. It is one thing to call a poster a racist, it is another to state they have committed an act of treason, or is a treasoner. Treason is a serious crime and should not be used lightly, or rather at all. Accusing someone of treason has its consequences and posters can be held responsible if someone files a formal complaint (i.e. lawsuit) against the ...

I've stated many times in the past - This board is not for bullying, ganinging up on, or ridiculing other posters. Telling posters their opinions don't matter, their links are not credible, anything they've ever posted in the past can't be taken seriously because of their moniker, their sources, calling posters stupid, etc. Will not be tolerated. I don't care what party you belong to or if you don't belong to any party. Nobody likes th ...

If you are going to reply to a poster stick to the issue the poster is talking about. I just deleted all replies to one thread because not one reply was talking about the issue she discussed, but instead was ridiculing the poster, and then a bunch of other posters felt the need to jump on the bandwagon in ridiculing. If you want to talk about issues or articles, things of political nature that is what this board is for. If you don't agree with a poster and feel you need t ...

I am in the process of cleaning up the board. Give me time to go through it. Don't ask me why I deleted one post when I didn't delete another because you are asking me this before I get a chance to get to those posts. If your post contains an insult it is going to be deleted. If it is not discussing political issues it will be deleted. I don't care whether your viewpoints are to the right or to the left or in the middle or nowhere at all. If you insu ...

I spent the weekend cleaning up the board. I was even up til 3:00 a.m cleaning up the board and posters are back to insulting each other again. Insults are being removed and if you can't stop insulting it will result in being banned. Stop ridiculing other posters. Discuss issues. If you can't discuss issues then don't post. This is a political board to discuss political issues. Not to come on here and make fun of other posters. Moderato ...

Politics is a hot topic. People need to develop a thick skin, unless you are personally being attacked or ridiculed. I've seen stuff on all sides, but people are expressing their feelings about events, issues, and parties and that is what this board is for. I am not going to change the content of someones message because one side does not like what they have to say. If you have a political topic you want to talk about, talk about it. Nobody is stopping you. Ju ...

I have just deleted an entire thread at the OPs request. It was talking about free speech, which I find it ironic that I deleted a thread about free speech, but since it was her request I deleted it. One post that was particularly disturbing was someone wrote they were going to report another person to Homeland Security. In hindsight I should have deleted that posters post. Invoking the fear of turning someone into Homeland Security is wrong, especially when a poster wrote not ...

I’ve spent the morning cleaning up the board. Stop reporting posts simply because you do not like someone’s opinion. When they write about politicians the post WILL stay. If they write in general the post WILL stay. If they target posters on this board the post will go. Personal insults will not be tolerated and will be removed. I may not get to it the exact minute it goes up, but I will remove it. Do not report a post and demand that the post be remov ...

Once again...do not tell me what to do when you report messages. I will NOT ban posters because others simply do not like their opinions. If a message is not directed at a poster IT STAYS! If you continue to order me to ban posters YOU will be banned instead. Posters are reporting posts saying its racist when there is nothing racist about it. Certain posters also continue to report other certain posters because they don't like their opinion. This is a board where all po ...

I am slowly getting the board cleaned up. There are many personal insults and attacks and it needs to stop. If you are making a personal attack against another poster your post will be removed. If you are unable to comply with the rules of the board then don't post here. This is a political board to discuss political issues. This is not a board to come and insult other posters, call other posters names. Nobody knows anybody else on this board and I'm gett ...

with respect to discussion of sources. This has clearly become a hot topic, and I can't help but note that a lively discussion on the subject is gone from the board. I have said it before, and I will say it again: To my mind, there is nothing wrong with holding a source up to the light to see if there are holes in it, nor is there anything inherently malevolent about doing so. If this is inconsistent with the board's policies, can we get clarification, please. Thanks. ...

New Army manual tells G.I.s not to promote women's rights or condemn pedophilia Published by: Robert Laurie on Thursday December 13th, 2012 By ROBERT LAURIE – Utterly disgusting guidelines for U.S. troops in Afghanistan So far this year, 63 members of the U.S. led coalition in Afghanistan have been killed in so-called “Taliban insider attacks.” The deaths occur when members of the Afghan security forces – supposed U.S. allies - murder the American operatives ...

is that Biden's behavior is backfiring on him. Every source I check is less than impressed with his antics.

I have recently been inquiring about a new career in MT. I learned of this website and have been reading feverishly to become as informed as possible. My question is this (which is one, of many!): Is it flexible enough to do on a basis around a first and primary job that requires travel. On the days that I'm home (which could be for 2-5 days in a row before traveling again) I would have all day dedicated to sitting at the computer and getting work done. This i ...
