:beer: for ckg who I have yet to see stooping to someone like ckgunslinger's level by absolutely losing any cool he purportedly have. I have nothing but differences with cad but at least he doens't flip out and then act like he's a zen monk. :laugh:

Bah, Some of the people here's differing views are annoying if not scary sometimes but
I like to see the opinions of others when stuff goes down.
It's a interesting small dirty windowpane on America
and the absurdity it has sunk into at times.
Boot the trolls and kooks and it just gets blander.

There's nothing wrong with the type of radicals we see sometimes. Let them come and speak their mind... usually it's off the wall stuff but it's good to hear various views, even extreme ones... it's helps us clarify our own and even sometimes gives us something to think about. Free, open, honest debate!

But...

I do tire of the 100% one-side dogmatic partisan hacks. At least radicals have strong beliefs and reasons for thinking that way. The my-guy-is-godlike-great-at-everything people who rarely discuss ideas, concepts, and principles. Everything is related to how their guy is perfection and the opposition is the evil loser demon spawn. Their outlook is so narrow and their words so repetitive. It's like they're a puppet to their party and their one goal in life is to say and do anything to elect their guy. You know the kind.

What about them then?

I don't see that as much here as you might be implying. The "Pubs" generally don't speak well of the Dub but support him as the lesser of two evils, and the same applies to the Dems who still subscribe to an "anybody-but-Bush" agenda. Neither camp glorifies an individual, that's much to positive for ATPN.

Criticism is king on this board. The only thing that will ever be held on high is the socio-political agenda to which people may or may not subscribe. Even that is rare, though. Discussion based on agenda is usally marginalized into negetivity and criticism in the manner or "your mentality is flawed because of such and such failings", not "these ideas are the best, here's why."

I don't mean to criticize PN in suggestting anything positive is short lived and in short supply, in fact negetivity is why I'm drawn to this forum. These critical debates serve as a catalyst for the clarifaction of my own political and social perceptions.

Cheers to all and flame on :)
