Leftys, Progressives and Liberals beware, it appears to me that this board is in danger of going the way of the Govenour Times by being dominated by right wingnuts. I watched as they became so dominate over there that we progressives dropped out one by one until now they are either yelling at one another in an echo chamber or fighting amonst themselves for the title "Wing Nut of the Month"

I have not done a line by line thread count or a post by post count here for a specific period of time, it is just an overall impression. It seems all of the empty, failed Republican talking points gets lots and lots of play here. No matter how many times disproven, no matter how many times proven as spin, distortions and out and out lies they get played again and again. Let's not let this board go the way of govenour Times, let's not let it happen here. OK?

I agree, the right wing deep down knows they are scum and failures and they want to bring the rest of us down with them, it is a shame these people have infected this country and have brought us down with them, I could say something but I will probably get in trouble

Your hatred for those who you do not agree with is duly noted.

Its funny though that the "right wing" (whatever and whoever that is) don't refer to you or those like you as "scum". They tend not to resort to the name calling that you and yours do.

Why do you think that is?

Great day... PULEASE This is why so little actual dialog takes place. Do you honestly believe that each side doesn't have its wingnuts, freepers, and water carriers?

Again with this absolutist mindset, "we good, they bad" doesn't matter, pick a side, lean on the wall of partisanship, learn a few talking points and most importantly, point and blame.

Sorry but - I, for one, try not to resort to calling others "names". I have made that mistake before (calling one a moron) - but, I see no useful purpose in such name calling

There are nuts on either side, some nuts are left wing others are right wing, I meant no harm. Both are "wingnuts". That being said this post is about the contiued health of the board, the exchange of ideas from both sides and the dominance of neither. This post will, hopefully, be about the extreme of either being exposed for the extremist they are.

OK?

it isnt a matter of not agreeing, it is people who I believe are evil and selfish and people who make this world a worse place to live in

and they dont refer to the left wing as scum, because the left wing generally arent scum

Why do you though resort to calling those you disagree with names? Why do you find it necessary?

And why do you always call for the death, the killing, of those you disagree with? You know, that is not ..."normal" and may indicate that you have ... "other" problems.
