Now we play the "proof" game, another example of skew in this forum. Corn provided the same sort of evidence DV provided in his accusation concerning John Galt and whatever his new moniker was. Why did nobody question DV in the same manner? And anyone glancing at the styles of BBOND and BOBDN would have little doubt they are one in the same. It's not even a mental challenge nor any sort of stretch unless you simply refuse to be truthful about it.
Besides that, one particular side is famous in here for making the "Who were you before you were banned?" accusation. I've been accused of it numerous times, even by DonVito. It seems certain people don't like the accusation when the tables are turned though.

The thing that really helped convinced me of the slippage of the nation is that a lot of (IMO) real conservatives have come out strongly against Bush and his elite. Just take a look at any issue of the American Conservative or Pat Buchanan's site the American Cause and you will see PO'ed conservatives. But people like Rush and Coutler are still playing the game.

Just to be clear, I have no earthly idea if BBond is a returning banned member. I think the evidence Corn has posted suggests he is. Corn has not said one word about WHY BBODN was banned, which strikes me as relevant.
As for the allegation that the board's liberal members are more inclined to call out returning banned trolls, that's probably true. That said, it seems to me the overwhelming majority of returning banned trolls have been conservatives, so it becomes a chicken-vs-egg question.

Conversed with Corn by PM - I don't have an issue with him or his opinion.
as to BushBasha / 'XXGAULTXX' - he pretty much busted himself on this one,
and he had a fight going on with someone who was in a position of inside knowledge.
Now, I don't know (or care) if his returning alter-ego was snuffed by the mods,
but he's not been 'active' since - it may have been his choice to tuck tail & hide.

Well, in the spirit of actual opinion and discussion:
I have long argued that the veil of secrecy surrounding the current Administration must be indicative of actions and policies that would be rejected by the general population if subjected to the light. Many claims of "national security" reasons have proved to be transparently false. Since I am aware that both terrorists and criminals find such secrecy necessary to carry out their nefarious plans, I would assume a similar necessity by the Administration since no other reasonable explaination has been offered.
It does not take a rocket scientist to see that the administration has steered a steady course in offering tax cuts to the rich (and government givebacks to large corporations), and expanding federal spending to the point that funding "needs" to be cut for domestic programs that benefit the common citizen. The only time we ever hear of fiscal restraint or prudent spending is when they are about to cut something for the ordinary people. GWB has certainly "stayed the course" on this issue.
Since GWB has yet to use his veto power, I would assume that if he were to use it, it must be against something of extraordinary importance to him. To offer to use it against a bill that would hold the country to internationally accepted treatment of prisoners speaks volumes. Humane treatment of people is a cornerstone of what is considered a modern civilized society. GWB has announced to the world that our country rejects rejects that idea. Our "values" President has lowered the bar for what is considered moral actions by a government.
I am personally appalled and discusted by the actions of our current leaders.

Nor do I, it's just gay marriage and abortion that loose it for me. And I get scared when people say this.
We believe that America's prosperity and progress hinge on our fidelity to founding principles: national independence, limited government, individual liberty, and traditional morality.

I think the radicals have taken over both parties, and they should both be abandoned. Bush is guilty as charged, but he's not alone, it's a continuing process since around the end of WWII. I'm sick of the whole process.

I don't claim to have the answers, I just recognize the problem. I know it sounds fanciful, but I would like to see some honest politicians.
