You want to be balanced, and yet you look at the tree in the middle of the forest. Your attack of a "joke" about tinfoil hats has no place and yet you still make the comment. Next thing you know closet liberal trying to appear wise CW will lock down the thread just because you, EX, or C (space) B, makes some off-discussion moronic personal school kid description to someone who may disagree with you.
Private fortune, public cash
no CW doesn't have to explain himself, nor justify it, which is why I exercise my willingness to be banned by such prick-ish behavior.
tin foil.... is that why they retracted their first agenda and then the entire event?

let's just say this, the hat is far better than the no hole tin foil face mask you must be wearing.
Kudos to Juggernaut for using the term "ignorant" in such an appropriate manner.

I guess you are talking to me since I was the one who brought up tin-foil hats.
There are plenty of insults that come from both sides, and trust me, I've taken a lot more than I have given just because I often disagree with the right wing majority on this forum. I don't see you riding to my defense when the insults are flying in my direction so please don't even bother trying to lecture me - you have no leg to stand on.
CdC and Roscoe like to copy/paste from World Net Daily - basically a right wing version of Move On, and neither of which deserve any sort of credibility as a news source. If anybody tried to use Move On as a source I imagine the comments on this forum would be quite a bit more colourful than just mention of a tin foil hat.
As for Obamas school address - the phrasing has no meaning until it can be taken in context with the actual speech. 'How do kids help the president?' - well, help him do what? Sure, we could use our imaginations and fill in the blank with whatever fantastical thing our paranoid little minds can come up with. Personally, I prefer to reserve judgment that the sky is falling until I have more data than just the posts of someone who consistently uses questionable sources.
And the fact that Obamas administration revised the plan because of wording they say was taken out of context shows that there is at least a marginal capacity for learning from mistakes - something the preceding administration did not show nearly often enough.
As for CW - I have never met him and cannot say what his politics are. I do know that he has closed right AND left wing threads when the name calling or posting of bogus information gets too extreme or violates the forum rules. Almost all of the political threads here are started by right wing types; Excaliber and C-B rarely start one, and I almost never do because I usually think both sides are wrong to some degree. So the simple math would indicate that CW would shut down more right leaning threads than left simply because there are more of them. I think that CW and Jamo both deserve our thanks for putting up with the crap political posts from all of us (well, mostly CdC

).
