Why this is tolerated, I have no idea.
Edit: I was having the same thoughts myself. I was going to send feedback but decided not to pick on the mentally ill.

You spoke in a sweeping generalism. The counter statement to your original statement would be something like "all of the Rush limbaugh neo-con parrots would rather bomb the rest of the world and arrest anyone that disagrees with them."
My point is that I don't ...[text shortened]... iews...especially not broad groups of people. Lets discuss the views, not character attacks.

The thread was meant for the other RHP users. How am I supposed to wrap their knuckles with wit and guile if I have to run to the mods everytime instead?
Stop taking my target market away from me.

I see you need the actual verbal admonishing, the singling out too of the other side, in order for you to not feel slighted? This should have been obvious to even the casual observer but for those of your ilk who aren't so casual, admonishment all around.

Your post did make me think about the debate function of this site. Thank you.
But...
I do have to agree, as far as what really got me started here were all the anti-America(n) posts that I saw. It was just a bash-fest for liberals & European's, and I got tired of seeing the unchecked, inaccurate statements that were being tossed at my country.

What do you think?
Why dont a whole bunch of you debate dictators ask Russ to provide y'all with a special Debate Lite forum?
A few of the following simple rules would make it work.
1. No post more that 7 lines long.
2. No left wing points of view.
3. All Presidential proclamations to be accepted without question, at face value.
It can be a little haven for all those who have issues with free speech and freedom of thought.
