What are TWEENS?

The majority of posters on this forum.

Though others certainly act like one......

Why hasn't this purveyor of uniformly obnoxious posts been banned yet?

What was the Ohio issue regarding the opt-out of Obamacare? I saw it passed, which is a surprise considering how tonight has gone.

The wording of the amendment was VERY benign sounding. Almost misleadingly so IMHO. If I didn't know what the issue was really about, I would've likely voted for it too at face value. But hey, the SoS is a Republican of course.

Of course, we can't stand to have those mean dissenting views in here... Much better to have an echo chamber...

This is a "democrat-'leaning'" board after all. ("Leaning" LOL!)

The issue is not "dissenting" views, but rather views of ANY political stripe that are persistently expressed in an immature, hysterical, belligerent, insulting, obnoxious, and above all, annoying manner. The problem with your posts isn't that you're conservative--look around you, you may be outnumbered but you are HARDLY alone there--but rather that your posts are almost invariably the intellectual equivalent of a temper tantrum.

Put down your cross, martyr. The antipathy to you stems not from excessive conservatism, but rather insufficient maturity.

Kindly and quickly either grow up or go away.

This is nonsense, and you know it. When it looked like the Dems were going to hold the Virginia Senate, we had post after post cheering that development (virtually all written like a 12 year old cheering a scripted wrestling match) and mocking Republicans. Then when all of the sudden Reeves wins, its complete silence, crickets from the other side. I post a few rather mild posts from the other side, and the first response is BAN HIM BAN HIM!!!! (Kinda like BURN HER, BURN THE WITCH!)

This place has always been an echo chamber. You keep a few Romney-type Republicans around so that you can maintain the facade of impartiality and objectiveness and call yourselves "democrat-leaning," but the pattern has shown that every-time someone truly challenges the beliefs of the left on this site, there is a call for them to be banned.

Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
