As I stated before these threads have no room in this forum because all they are there for is to lead to the name calling and that’s not just by one side.
True, but any thread that starts out by asking 'Why do conservatives do this or that' or "Why do conservatives think this way or that way' is an obvious invitation for people to start bashing with politics in mind.
Do you notice there aren't any threads started about liberals asking the same questions?

Hmmm and did you notice that the original poster was not a “ liberal”. Face it both sides have the I’m better than you crowd. As I said I see a pattern by these threads and their purpose on this board.

I’m thinking that the OP, who has not posted since opening the thread, is not a liberal or a conservative but a troll.

Style Alert...Need a smart gift? Ruanas and Vests

Creating Tonya...Allison Janney portrays a skater's mean mom

The Milkman is Back...A new old grocery trend

ID that Cough...Match up symptoms to find a fix

Secrets of Happiness...A Zen priest leads the way to contentment

Inflammation Relief...Locate your pain point...

Financial Checkup...Ask yourself these questions to determine your financial health

Perils of Caregiving...Caregivers mustn't lose sight of their own finances

The Joy of Octavia Spencer...After years of bit roles...

Tech to the Rescue...New gadgets and gizmos...

What Now Coach?...Top athletes share their coaches best advice

Medical Murder Mystery....Who or what killed Devon Black...

Followed by 4 stories or essays by a retired cop, a chef, a sculpter, and a sweet shop owner reflecting on their lives, a crossword puzzle, a short article about living to 100 years old, a 50th birthday interview with Jamie Foxx.

If you actually haven't read the magazine or newsletters and are taking your opinions from something you heard on TV or a radio talk show, maybe you should check it out and form your own opinion. If you have, well have a nice day, we'll just agree to disagree.
Duh, the magazine has nothing to do where they send their millions of "donations" from membership. Perhaps this will help:

LOL . WingNutDaily (oops WorldNetDaily)? This is the same “news” source which offered an expose on how soybeans are turning our children gay: Soy is making kids ‘gay’

I agree. There are two other threads started by the same OP in which she has never been back except once in the first day. One is about a name change and the other is about breast augmentation.

There are very few true conservatives left; most today are just right-wing conspiracy theorists, led like sheep to slaughter by the GOP.
And this is the same open minded progressive liberal person who on election night wished the people of Michigan would go to hell for helping to elect Trump.

"Thanks, Michigan. Too bad Obama saved your sorry a$$, when the Republicans were ready to let you fall into a sinkhole. As far as I'm concerned, you can go straight to h*ll."
