Hello!

[Lucy Hamilton]

Thanks for all the friendliness everyone, I do believe I will enjoy this place.

You better NOT be a Vegan, I have made this forum a Vegan Free Zone

I had a side of thick cut bacon this morning with my breakfast. No soy boy here.

Excellent! You can stay then

Hey everyone,
Just found this board after being a long time poster at another sports web forum. I mainly talked about politics anyway and it’s become less and less active. Did a web search and found this place. Seems pretty even as far as political parties and the debates were interesting in the few threads that I read. I typically like to talk about issues with both sides present, which section of the forum would be best for that and which is the most active?

Anyways, good to be here and I should be a fairly active poster each day.

Hi gnicari and welcome!
Glad you are here to contribute to the discussions.
I find most posts on Politics are under Politics and Current Events.
Even when they are about Media, Health Care, or Law and Justice.

Just go with the flow and it will take you where you need to interact with the audience here.

My suggestions if you want to get responses is to tag the person you are addressing
so they can track your replies and respond. Otherwise they may miss something you posted to them.

I do better when I stick to issues (never going into personal attacks that detract from the content)
and focus on where we agree before going into criticisms or objections
which I try to approach as mutual exchange and constructive corrections.

If people vent or start getting personal, again, I try to respond by sticking to the content.
As long as you post at least ONE line of content related to the original post topic, that isn't derailing.
(For the Clean Debate Zone, the rules are more restricted.
For the Flame and Taunting Zones there are open with almost no moderation.)

If you really want to pinpoint someone on a particular point you want to hammer home,
you can use the BULLRING to call someone out on an argument you know you can win.
Most people don't ever concede, but they "shut up" about that point once they get called out (and tagged).

If you have any problems, please feel free to ask a Moderator or another member by PM.
I am happy to help you as well!

Enjoy your conversations, and I look forward to reading your posts!

Yours truly,
Emily

PS I'm a prochoice progressive Green Democrat who identifies Constitutionalist
and aligns with more Conservatives than I do with liberals who are too biased in pushing their agenda through govt
at the expense of other people's free choice and beliefs.

Religiously I believe in God and Christ Jesus as the Universal Spirit of Truth/Wisdom and
Restorative Justice that brings Peace for all humanity. So I identify as Universalist
but more into the Trinity being a Universal construct in all religious systems and laws,
and I consider Constitutionalism to be a political religion and denomination of Christianity
that can have both liberal and conservative extremes. I try to accommodate all beliefs and all extremes
to be Constitutional inclusive and equally protective of all people regardless of creed. But I run into
such objection and resistance to that approach, I end up getting blamed as "enabling bigotry" by trying work with opposing camps.
I wish we would wise up and recognize political parties as political religions, so these are treated no differently than any
other religious organization expected to keep their beliefs out of govt and not impose them on others to fund and follow.
When we figure that out, that equal protection of the laws applies to political beliefs and creeds,
I think we'll be a much better country without the bullying in the media and waste of resources on endless fighting.

Thanks for the brief introduction. Myself personally, I am Constitutionalist and in 2019 that means I’m hard right even though I previously would’ve told you I was closer to center. Unfortunately the left has moved the goal posts so far to the left, that normal hard working men like myself are now considered hard right. I’m atheist (but recently I’m questioning it) and I think the biggest issue America is facing in 2019 and the next decade is Islamic immigration. I support the free market at all costs, even education. Not that I think public schooling shouldn’t be funded by government in some cases, just not the federal government. Carters biggest blunder was starting the department of education in 1979, since then education has gone down the drain.

Anyways, I’m rambling now, good to be here!

Watch out for the liberals on this board
They are sneaky and can’t be trusted

That’s not just on a message board, that’s just a good life lesson in general. I appreciate the advice.

How true, my friend
I don’t know why they even allow liberals on this board

Liberals are okay in general it is the Leftists like you who are not, having commented that you are sort of okay for a Leftist when you are NOT discussing politics.

Because them just talking is the best ammunition the right has. Just hand them the mic and let them talk people out of voting for them. That’s why I love AOC because she’s a good glimpse into the lunacy of the left.

As you are new you should be instructed that rightwinger is a Leftist, also in general we do not discuss politics in these threads.

Hey everyone,
Just found this board after being a long time poster at another sports web forum. I mainly talked about politics anyway and it’s become less and less active. Did a web search and found this place. Seems pretty even as far as political parties and the debates were interesting in the few threads that I read. I typically like to talk about issues with both sides present, which section of the forum would be best for that and which is the most active?

Anyways, good to be here and I should be a fairly active poster each day.

Hi, gnicari. Enjoy the board. Some folks are pretty rude, so don't let that bother you. Loosen your tie and have a donut.

PS I'm a prochoice progressive Green Democrat who identifies Constitutionalist
and aligns with more Conservatives than I do with liberals who are too biased in pushing their agenda through govt
at the expense of other people's free choice and beliefs.

Religiously I believe in God and Christ Jesus as the Universal Spirit of Truth/Wisdom and
Restorative Justice that brings Peace for all humanity. So I identify as Universalist
but more into the Trinity being a Universal construct in all religious systems and laws,
and I consider Constitutionalism to be a political religion and denomination of Christianity
that can have both liberal and conservative extremes. I try to accommodate all beliefs and all extremes
to be Constitutional inclusive and equally protective of all people regardless of creed. But I run into
such objection and resistance to that approach, I end up getting blamed as "enabling bigotry" by trying work with opposing camps.
I wish we would wise up and recognize political parties as political religions, so these are treated no differently than any
other religious organization expected to keep their beliefs out of govt and not impose them on others to fund and follow.
When we figure that out, that equal protection of the laws applies to political beliefs and creeds,
I think we'll be a much better country without the bullying in the media and waste of resources on endless fighting.

Emily is okay, I rate members now on how much they like bacon, Emily is a 9

Lucy Hamilton you and gnicari are both 10's in my book! Yay to Constitutional free speech and press! ;-)

As for bacon, as much as I like it,
I think bacon likes me more. Loves to hug me around
the middle in the form of nice blubbery fat rolls!
Don't get me wrong, I love bacon.
But it just won't go away afterwards and leave me alone!
Girl Scout cookies, also. Love those a bit too much as well....

Here's something just for you. Thanks for being here!

Hey everyone,
Just found this board after being a long time poster at another sports web forum. I mainly talked about politics anyway and it’s become less and less active. Did a web search and found this place. Seems pretty even as far as political parties and the debates were interesting in the few threads that I read. I typically like to talk about issues with both sides present, which section of the forum would be best for that and which is the most active?

Anyways, good to be here and I should be a fairly active poster each day.

Welcome! Are you game for the unofficial USMB mascot?

 

[Marion Morrison]

Hi gnicari and welcome!
Glad you are here to contribute to the discussions.
I find most posts on Politics are under Politics and Current Events.
Even when they are about Media, Health Care, or Law and Justice.

Just go with the flow and it will take you where you need to interact with the audience here.

My suggestions if you want to get responses is to tag the person you are addressing
so they can track your replies and respond. Otherwise they may miss something you posted to them.

I do better when I stick to issues (never going into personal attacks that detract from the content)
and focus on where we agree before going into criticisms or objections
which I try to approach as mutual exchange and constructive corrections.

If people vent or start getting personal, again, I try to respond by sticking to the content.
As long as you post at least ONE line of content related to the original post topic, that isn't derailing.
(For the Clean Debate Zone, the rules are more restricted.
For the Flame and Taunting Zones there are open with almost no moderation.)

If you really want to pinpoint someone on a particular point you want to hammer home,
you can use the BULLRING to call someone out on an argument you know you can win.
Most people don't ever concede, but they "shut up" about that point once they get called out (and tagged).

Thanks for the brief introduction. Myself personally, I am Constitutionalist and in 2019 that means I’m hard right even though I previously would’ve told you I was closer to center. Unfortunately the left has moved the goal posts so far to the left, that normal hard working men like myself are now considered hard right. I’m atheist (but recently I’m questioning it) and I think the biggest issue America is facing in 2019 and the next decade is Islamic immigration. I support the free market at all costs, even education. Not that I think public schooling shouldn’t be funded by government in some cases, just not the federal government. Carters biggest blunder was starting the department of education in 1979, since then education has gone down the drain.

Anyways, I’m rambling now, good to be here!

Watch out for the liberals on this board
They are sneaky and can’t be trusted

That’s not just on a message board, that’s just a good life lesson in general. I appreciate the advice.

How true, my friend
I don’t know why they even allow liberals on this board

Because them just talking is the best ammunition the right has. Just hand them the mic and let them talk people out of voting for them. That’s why I love AOC because she’s a good glimpse into the lunacy of the left.

I should not go there here, but however, she does ask some questions that should be asked.

I'm no leftist by a long shot. It is what it is.

Welcome to USMB, gnicari. Hope you enjoy the boards. The most active threads are generally found in the Politics forum. Hope you have all of your shots and keep them up to date. There is a certain degree of ankle-biting.
