Is this a right-wing website

You have been here 10 days. And you are already griping. What are you trying to accomplish by putting up a thread like this? It seems crazy to me.

 

Perhaps you'd better try another forum, then. There are plenty out there to choose from. Seems strange that a brand new member comes in here with guns-a-blazing over the what they perceive the political make-up is.

First off, you're wrong about the political make-up of the Mods. It's a little right-leaning, but not much. Besides, political views have nothing to do with a Moderator's ability to be fair and enforce the TOS. ALL the Mods...ALL of us, moderate members from all political philosophies....and we also have lot of checks and balances in that ensures fairness.

Not really sure why you're in a twist GP, but your above analysis is way off the mark.

Start threads yourself, demonstrate/express your ideas and perspectives.

Good luck

 

I might have a solution. Start more threads, ask liberals to start more threads, ask your liberal friends to sign on, and voila...problem solved.
We let everyone in, regardless of political persuasion, iow, the problem is not with the forum, its rather how engaged people wish to be

 

Right on, right on...

I hear I'm a liberal from the conservatives, a right winger from the libs...I really don't care about bull(*)(*)(*)(*) labels anymore. They mean absolutely nothing. I'm anti-system, "the man", anti-authoritarian, anti-oligopoly, anti-corporatism, anti-...well you get the picture.

Left/Right...what does it matter to me when they are both trying to take away some of my liberty?

 

It's just a sign of the times.

That's just your perspective. Many of the far-right conservatives think just the opposite, that this site is mostly liberals or progressives. Perhaps the reason you feel that way is because you see so many posts that stand out because you strongly disagree with them. If that is the case, I think we can safely assume that most members will have a tendancy to feel everyone is against them.

It would be easy to make such a false assumption, but there are many national socialists, environmentalists, utopian idealists, and women who care about [white] women's issues on stormfront. There have even been open debates about whether or not communism was a good thing. And no, they are not all white; Stormfront also has a small but still surprising number of posters who self-identify as Asian ethnicity. There was even a Pakistani that ranted on about the jews who manipulated America into supporting a Palestinian holocaust. You cannot throw stormfronters in the same boat. The Republican party is pro-israel. Stormfronters are almost unanimously against. Same thing with free trade. As for the issue of abortion, it's just what you would expect: pro-life for white babies, pro-choice for non-white mothers. lol Liberals should admire stormfronters, caring so much about a minority woman's right to choose.

 

Actually most people are "right wing" (normal). The Stalinist population transfer media try to claim for example that opposition to mass immigration is "far right", when it is in fact normal. For example in China around 100% of people oppose mass immigration. Are they all "far right"? In fact the left/right distinction is irrelevant and what we basically have is a bunch of elitist anti-humanitarian nutjobs describing anyone who questions their insane schemes as "far right" in their bought media while they are of course "centre". Stalin was of course "centre" and reasonable while deporting the entire Korean population of Russia to die in Kazhakstan. The term is totally subjective as used in this context and has no meaning.

 

People still seem to value Free Speech on this forum........

That means it's a right-wing, conservative website, yes.

When you are banned for having an opinion, you know that it's a left-leaning, liberal website.

 

It has certainly been infected by such hard-right creatures.

 

There are plenty of liberal posters they just dont have much to say. They can usually barely put together 2 sentences quips that are most always little more than a flat out troll. You will find few liberals who actually have good argumentative skills.

And since anyone with good argumentative skills right or left automatically gets moderation pissed at them the few liberals who were good debaters have long since been banned or left. But don't you worry our tremendous moderation staff will eventually manage to ban or run off all the good conservative debaters too and then the trolls on both sides will have their perfect 1 and 2 sentence post paradise. That is until the forum is finally taken down of course.

 

Which is why it has become so entertaining

Is this a right-wing website?

What you are seeing is a common right-wing tactic which they took almost word for word from the 1930s Communist Party playbook. They take an organization or, in this case, a web site and spam it with their dreck until decent people get disgusted and leave. Then, they thump their sunken chests and howl about how this proves that THEY are the majority and that their opponents can't answer all the BS the right wing puts out. Some of them are so stupid they actually believe what they say. Catch them in a lie and prove they are liars and they only lie louder. Others don't realize that decent people leave because they can't stand the stench.

 

Want your binky?

 

Ha. What a joke. Take a look at Free Republic. It's site owner is always going on rampages and "zotting" people for tiny disagreements. He vowed to ban every and all Romney supporters.

It's HILARIOUS that right-wingers think that they are bastions of freedom.

 

Bull(*)(*)(*)(*) JP5. The mod board is solidly right as a whole. There's not even a modicum of balance to the political makeup of the board. To make a claim that the board is "a little right-leaning, but not much" is laughable to anyone who's been here more than a couple years.

Does that mean that the mods are deliberately asserting a political agenda in their modding? No.

But it does mean that the mod board perspective is skewed heavily right and that, even inadvertently, has a significant impact on the forum.

 

Yep, it's a right-wing website. Americans have gotten tired of socialists destroying the country, so they are speaking out against it. You might feel a little more comfortable in democraticunderground. I think HuffPo has forums, as well. Good luck!

 

That's heartbreaking. I don't know what we would do if liberals can't muster up the stomach to defend their worthless President here, anymore.

 

No, that's a sign of the fact that the terms are so muddled now that people have no clue what they totally mean.

Let's look at the individual issues and determine if America has moved to the right over the years.

What's the conservative take on same-sex marriage?



How about the conservative take on Social Security:



Marijuana legalization (notice the trend here):



How about taxing the wealthy:



The truth is that today's solidly right person would've have been called an avowed liberal 50-60 years ago.

 

(*)(*)(*)(*) right.

 

Well, you're gradually getting your wish fulfilled.

Liberals and moderates have been leaving this site in ever increasing numbers.

We'll participate in discussion about reasonable topics but it's not like we want to go to a Klan meeting.

 

Liberals are very insular people who need a constant feedback loop of reassurance in order to stay convinced that their utopian delusions are actually based in reality. When they lose their numerical advantage and are forced to defend their beliefs, they retreat back to places where they don't need anything besides their facade of moral superiority and insistence on being right. So it's not a surprise that liberals are leaving this site. They aren't the majority. They are the weaker group. They grow tired of continually defending an ideology that is losing ground (socialism) and a President who is continually showcasing just how bereft of progress his progressive movement is.

Good riddance.

 

Liberals are less likely to get their news/information from one source. Hardly insular, the liberal and progressive tents represent a MUCH larger slice of the population than the white, Christian and male bread and butter whose interest the right-wing represents.

You think socialism is losing ground? Let's check back again in a few decades after the Boomers - the "We Got Ours, (*)(*)(*)(*) Everyone Else!" - have died off. We'll look back at Supply Side Economics as the worst economic experiment since the events that led up to the Great Depression.

America's "Greatest Generation" brought us the Great Society. The generation before that, the New Deal and the New Deal, the generation before that the American Labor Movement.

The Boomers have managed to put a halt on progress even as they cash in on the Herculean efforts put forth by their forefathers, but much like dam trying to hold back a flooding river, once the dam breaks, the water gushes forward.

 

I do not know any right wingers here, if you mind the people who like freedom, than probably yes. If you want that those who enslave folks and countries and push failed liberal utopias, atheism, satanism, sodomy and other liberal "values" will hijack this Great Forum, than no, thank.This Forum has rejected Political Correctness which dictates difference between Free Speech and Hate Speech.

 

Liberals pursue more concentrations camps and silencing of free people, they do not want accept that not all agree with them in the real world.
