You'd think people would wise up and realize just how ineffective it is to try to sway public opinion by propaganda. Peoples minds are made up and they just come here to reinforce their own positions and to bash the opposition.
Actually, I don't come here for that. I come here to have discussions, share and get input from others. However, I have no doubt plenty do come here for some kind of ego trip, which explains many of the strange behaviors.

Do they really want regulations and resrictions on pollutants lifted? Really, what kind of moron doesn't want to breath clean air????
Yeah it was an awesome day when Kennedy said "ask not what you can do for your country but what your country can do for you."

The '"ban the EPA" threads have been here, usually by "pro-coal" advocates. actually there is a poster called coalman.

Some posters get quite vehement regarding urban planning and the building of infrastructure in rural areas. They must represent the GOP contingent which needs to keep the poor impoverished, and unable to commute to decent jobs.

A wingnut is a term representing both sides of the equation that are mentally unstable.

You seem to have the persecution complex where any negative term means the side you associate with though.

Good luck with that, that is not the sign of a healthy mind of any "wing".

No persecution complex here. I do have an antipathy towards trolls and haters though.

Please don't make me don my hip waders. 'Wingnuts' is and always has been a term used by lefties. You're seriously going to pretend otherwise? LOL.

[quote=hawkeye2009;24319734]On this forum, I am convinced that there are three liberal posters who are paid Obama "schills" that present a far left agenda, fail to respond to reason or factual information, and simply distort the facts to advance a political agenda.

Of course these people are on internet forums. However, they are easy to identify, as they are completely partisan, lack reason, and have no substantial factual information to support their positions.

These "schills" are almost entirely left wing in political orientation and are obviously paid "contributors". They are very transparent and are embarrassingly clumsy. The entities who hired them need to find better "schills" (at least more intelligent ones). I find it entertaining and sad at the same time. Truth and reason do not need a band shell or a propaganda unit to perpetuate the facts and an honest evaluation of a political situation. Tyrants, liars, and those opposed to liberty NEED such individuals to distort the truth and to obfuscate in order to advance the political agenda that is important to THEM, not the people. The fact that the left wing employs these "schills" in order to promote and perpetuate false information and propaganda belies the fact that they are the enemies of truth and reason, and thus the enemies of the people in a free society.

Keep on coming Obama schills. You look more and more absurd the more you post and are completely obvious, and thus absurd.

For those interested, do you want me to name them?[/quote]

Yes please. People have opinions and come to forums to express them. In fact this post of yours is pretty "shilly" by insulting who you feel is you enemy (democrats, liberals, and anyone supporting Obama) while not saying much.

I always wondered how people found the time to post on CD all day? Do they have jobs? How do they make money?

Well, now I know...
