Don't play games (or hypocrite) while you have me on ignore. You have no tolerance whatsoever and the vast majority of the members on SI know it. And it is completely irrelevant to the issue here as to what you perceive as the behavior of left wing moderators. I say this because I've been banned by them too at one point and I don't think they are left wing. They might be left to your positions, but not left in the sense of the late Senator McGovern of SD. I realize you guys are dogmatic hero worshippers of President Reagan. I call him Killer Reagan because his draconian domestic budget cuts increased the poverty level of America: en.wikipedia.org "the number of Americans below the poverty level increased from 29.272 million in 1980 to 31.745 in 1988, which means that, as a percentage of the total population, it remained almost stationary, from 12.95% in 1980 to 13% in 1988. [7] The number of children, ages 18 years and younger, below the poverty level increased from 11.543 million in 1980, 18.3% of children, to 12.455, 19.5%, in 1988. [8] In addition, the situation of low income groups was affected by the reduction of social spending. Inequality also increased. The share of total income received by the 5% highest-income households grew from 16.5% in 1980 to 18.3% in 1988 and the share of the highest fifth of income increased from 44.1% to 46.3% in same years. In contrast, the share of total income of the lowest fifth of households fell from 4.2% in 1980 to 3.8% in 1988 and the second poorest fifth from 10.2% to 9.6%. [9]" Is this a good President? I think not.

Now you could have handled this differently, in a more polished manner, but because you are basically a one dimensional political soul who is not open to other viewpoints, you were not capable. What you could've done is PM me and ask me not to post on your thread because you are only interested in right wing point of views. I would've obliged and moved on. But no you have to play God and try to limit my freedom of speech when I back it up with facts. Sorry to say, but you are part of the problem in American Politics, not a solution or bridge to dialogue.
