Can we clean it up?

I'm way on the right hand side of the political spectrum but I do not see any problem with the moderation here. As a forum owner/mod you deal with your user base. Complaints are addressed right or wrong. Everyone's view is colored by their life experiences, we are not all same same nor should we be.

I do NOT see major suppression of either side or only one way traffic.

Ditto. I tend to lean right in all areas except some of the finer points on environmental policy, but I haven't noticed moderation being heavy-handed on either side of the spectrum.

"I had to buy a new gas can, and now it takes 20 minutes to fill my mower and I spill about a third of it all because...

Complaining about that is funny to me. Just put a vent hole in it or use a funnel and pour without the spout on it.

@newbury is your thread working like you thought it would?

Nope, I had missed that Muhammad had opened up all the threads to the cesspool of politics.
Whatever pays the bills, it's his forum.

Best at what? Jimmy Carter was really good with rising interest rates and botched policy. They’ve all left a mark, good from bad is hard to tell sometimes.

Well, let’s see he won by huge margins, 49 states in one election I believe. he took over from a failed Carter administration with 20% interest rates, runaway inflation and a fuel crisis (sound familiar?), he ended the eastern bloc Soviet dominated countries, tore down the Wall, restored our military to #1 status and didn’t get involved in foreign wars.

Maybe I missed something, but I think that’s purty good overall.

Yes, he did it all while dealing with a Congress that was dominated by the other party.

The only thing he did I didn’t like was amnesty. He later admitted it was his biggest mistake.

I've often wondered what such discussions would be like without hiding behind the internet. Heck I've seen old ladies swear when talking about politics.....and they were in the church choir. I've never gotten riled that much about these things. I just faithfully vote and do the rest of my duties to the best of my ability.

Sometimes the choices are poor when voting. But I admire anyone that is honestly trying to fill such a public position. I couldn't hold down such a position...probably should include other professions considering my personalty...e.g. peace time Army, doctor...lawyer etc.

Cheers,
Mike

You spend 30 seconds every two years in a voting booth yet some people spend every waking second thinking about it and being upset.

The current administration is breeding division by color, by income, by beliefs

Not the recent one?

There are three guarantees in this life.

Death
Taxes
Politics on forums.
