You should check out some of my real attempts recently and in the past that I have made which have gone with virtually no response. Whenever you post something here in an attempt at honest discussion of core beliefs, it is ignored. People just come here to yell at each other for the most part with no desire whatsoever to understand WHY they are "enemies" of the other guy.
Now I feel better about being ignored.

Bush destroyed America and is really an evil overlord.

Im pretty conservative and i have strong views but..
Im sick of some of the Insanity i hear from a few on both sides.
Also sick of the race card thrown in a debate no matter what the issue.
Aren't you glad they're spitting their vitriol online and not in your face?

I don't mind that people have strong feelings about politics and society, as long as they do it from the safety of their homes behind a keyboard.

I think I'm becoming a radical centrist since I'm beginning to hate radical lefties and radical righties as much as they hate each other. The only difference; I see them as identical whereas they see themselves as worlds apart.

I kinda enjoy making fun of the rabid lefties and righties. Politics is a lot of fun if you don't take it seriously.
