Yeah same could be said about right wing Christians, or business owners.
What you don't seem to realize is neither side is right.

[Thanks for your contribution to the continued polorization on the board.
Oh, right. Like many of your posts don't contribute "to the continued polarization on the board". I've read many of them and your typical MO is to make a comment such as "OR it could mean that liberals don't need to beat their chests and confirm to themselves what they believe. ". And then when someone challenges you or disagrees, you try to slap them down, retreat behind your moderator's mantle and attempt to come across as some sort of ATS "Solomon" that's above it all.

Oh, come on 1211.
From your sign up date, it is obvious you have been around long enough to see the pendulum swing both ways.
When I signed up, just a few months after you did, it was obvious to me at the time that this board had a heavy right wing bias.
As (what I consider to be) the truth about 9/11 and the War in Iraq, and the WOT in general has gradually unfolded, with lie after lie from the current administration being exposed for what it is, opinion has swung somewhat to the left.
It is only natural, and could have been expected, in fact, was predicted by a certain moderator (RANT).

On the contrary, I do realize that both sides have real problems. I also realize that -especially here - only one side gets continuously hammered. I'm just trying to call attention to that situation in hopes that the playing field can somehow be leveled.

Cool, those that read this will see that you couldn't/wouldn't back up your claims of, well, I'd call it slander, but I digress.

OK fair enough. But I disagree that only one side gets bashed, some ppl use every excuse they can to bash the other side. Just another typical Human trait, to bash the other side...makes you feel like your side is more legitimate somehow, focus on the positive traits of your chosen part but only focus on the negatives of the other 'side'.
makes you feel better about your choice.
Do you know why sports are pushed so hard in school? To keep you fit? Nah, it's to instill that notion of 'sides', competition, winners and losers etc. Capitalism and control relies on it, and the ruling elite like us creating their wealth for them...

All I can say now is that I believe GWB is a "lesser disaster" than Kerry would have been. I saw Kerry as another president roaming the White House at night asking the paintings what to do, while doing nothing.
1. The thread title says that Air America is following in Liberal footprints of bankruptcy, but there is no reference I see of any other "liberal" bankruptcies. So, what examples is the thread title referring to? Are you trying to say the fact that the US has declared bankruptcy twice is because of "liberal" reasons?
Main Entry: bank·rupt·cy
Pronunciation: 'ba[ng]k-(")r&p(t)-sE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -cies
1 : the quality or state of being bankrupt
2 : utter failure or impoverishment
2. What's the difference in the politics of Limbaugh, O'Riley & Co. and people like Franken? More generally, between liberals and conservatives? Because, the conservatives keep spending more on government and expanding the size and scope of government....that isn't very conservative, is it? But, to re-emphasize...what makes people like Franken a liberal and people like Limbaugh or others...not?
3. How come the top republican choice for President (Bush) and the top radio republican radio host (Limbaugh) are both noted former/current drug addicts?
