    Like I mentioned before there USED to be more liberal folks on here but they got all excited and butthurt and started with the name calling and Private messages with threatening/abusive content and were banned. Seems like a tactic common with the liberal folks who get so upset that they can't see straight. A few were Moose1am, Slippedcork, PL and another that I can't remember.
    You seem to take everything personal? It's really not it's just opinions. Isn't it ok for someone to have their own belief? And like stated before if you don't like a poster just block him/her instead of trying to rally the troops to attack that person.
    You tried the poll as an attack against Geo and that went over like a turd in a punch bowl....kinda figured you learned something by that move. How about post something thought provoking or a legit opposing view instead of trying to rattle someones cage?
    Just some helpful suggestions.
    Well now, we have HEARD from part of the choir. But did we expect less!

    Getting liberally biased news doesn't make the situation any better than getting conservatively biased news...

    I don't hold out much hope for mass media fairness. "Objective journalism" has always been somewhat of a myth, but in recent years both sides have given up even the pretense of objectivity. For me, the only way to get the "news" is unfiltered, without any "analysis." C-Span is the closest thing we have to that now that I know of.

    I'd rather sit on a yellow jackets nest than read/hear anymore communist garbage from those sites listed.

    A few alternatives to FOX News and the Geo Postings


    1. 3 oz Maker's Mark on the rocks.
    2. Tequlla Margarita
    3. 3 X Bud Light Limes at 45 degrees.
    4. 3 X Guinness long necks at 45 degrees
    5. One really big quaalude

    All of the above will provide no less mental confusion, and no less of a future headache. However, they will be more fun for the short term.

    Partake.....enjoy.
