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 ...

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 ...

I wanted to thank you all for your posts. It has been a pleasure to read the posts without the insults and want to thank everyone for their partiicipation. We may not all agree on everything, but there is no reason we can't have a discussion without insults and over the past few days has been nice to see that. One other thing I ask. While I have said in the past you can express however you feel about politicians, I would like to ask that posters refrain from calling politician ...

Posters need to remember this is a political board for discussion of political topics. Keep your opinions about other posters off the board. Settle your personal grievances off the board, not on it. A lot of issues are being discussed, but in between there are posters who don’t like other posters and keep going after them. If you have a problem with certain posters just don’t read their posts. Don’t come on the board to tell everyone you don’ ...

Rude, accusatory, insulting, name calling, condescending, smart allecky, "I know better than you", "you need to educate yourself", and any type of post like that is either being edited or deleted. Those kind of discussions need to stop. You are all too busy bickering with each other that you all know more than the other person that any type of political discussion is being lost. If you're not adding to the OPs post and only want to come on to tell a poster how little or uneducated t ...

are fixated on the Clintons and the Obamas. Newsflash! The Trump administration is now in power. How about some more discussion on this dysfunctional gang. Not much good to say about them, is there? ...

The topics on this board can be very inflammatory and sensitive. In general, you need to be able to control your emotions. There will be heated discussions at times, but civility can be maintained. Issues can be discussed without resorting to name calling, insults, or foul language. We want everyone to express their views, discuss and debate topics, but please leave out the derogatory name calling. Everyone has a different opinion and while we may not always agree ...

superstorm Sandy today, as this board is relatively "quiet" for a change. As much as I dislike the snarkiness of this board, I am still hoping that everyone is okay. ...

Many of you are starting to veer off track of discussing issues and going after posters ridiculing them. I deleted 2 messages today. One I edited, but then reading replies from the same poster it was clear she was specifically going after the OP of a message with the intent of ridiculing them and nothing more. Do not post that you know what other posters think or whether or not they understand or don't understand issues. Nobody knows this. It doesn't matter whe ...

I am in the process of cleaning up the board. I have not finished yet. I have been deleting posts from all sides (that is both conservative and liberal). Stop insulting/ridiculing posters. Everytime I remove an insult another comes up. If you don’t agree that is fine, simply state why in a logical and adult fashion. There is no reason to write hateful remarks and ridicule any poster and make fun of them because you don’t agree with them or like what they ...

I'm slowly getting to all the insults. Please give me time. Feel free to report posts. I will get to them, but please do not report posts with excuses that don't fit the post. Do not report posts because you don't like what the other poster has to say. Nobody wants to hear that their side is doing wrong, but as stated previously, say what you want of politicians. Please do not report that someone called a politician a rat, ferret or something el ...

Nothing else to do with their time? It is so sad that MTs stoop to the level of arguing for the sake of argument and no one is going to be moved by their attacks on Trump or Obama. Reading angry posts on presidential vacations is beyond my understanding. Could someone who is caught up in this explain why subject is important to them and what they hope to achieve. Thanks. ...

"important" to the republicans are misinformed. The whole party is very afraid to make him mad. There have been several occasions in the past where an elected republican disagreed with him on an issue and then was pressured to go on his show and "apologize" As the defacto leader, he must be held to responsible for his words. If your husband or father heard him calling YOU the names he called Ms. Fluke, would he not have his teeth knocked out? As far as Limbaugh ...

I have not received any emails of posts being reported in probably close to 4 or 5 months now. I am wondering if there are posters who have been reporting posts. Thanks, Moderator ...

If you are disgusted by the vile filth and disrespect from the left, but still want your voice heard and still want to read opinions of others and have rational discussions, there are other sites for such. I, for one, will be leaving this forum permanently. If you are not aware of another site, you may email me for information, but I fully understand if you don't. (I probably wouldn't email anyone anonymously on this site.) Bottom Line: Don't give up your beliefs and don ...

I have not flown in years....scarily, not since the availability of the internet, have I traveled except for driving in my car. I'm in the process of planning my vacation of a lifetime, which is traveling to the east coast (Maine, to be specific) for 10 days of rest and relaxation. Now, here's where my ignorance shows. Can anyone tell me the best way on the internet to track down flight information? I have no idea how much to put aside for travel expenses, and I've ...

Reading too many posts calling specific posters names. Messages calling posters names have been deleted with a warning to stop with the name calling and yet I'm reading more name calling from those same posters. Discuss issues and leave it at that. Do not be tempted to call other posters stupid or ignorant because you disagree with what they write. Posts that continue to reply calling them names will be deleted. Stick to the issues being discussed. Moderator. ...

Just catching up on the board and noticed the myth of Ambassador Chris Stevens being "dragged through the streets" repeated several times. I replied to one such instance below, but I'd like to bring it to the top for any who might not scan the board fully since I think it's really important in terms of anti-Muslim sentiment to try to dispel such a horrible assumption. Photos of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens Dragged Through the Streets- Fiction!Embassy A ...
