Is it just me?
The last week or so I have seen some really "insane" comments being made. One poster said president Obama was a colossal failure. Some have compared him to Nixon, Reagan and W. I just read a thread today where a poster made the comment that another 9/11 would be better than the NSA "spying" on everyone and others supported the comment. I mean 3,000 senseless deaths is OK with people?
It seems like insanity has taken over the boards. I see new posters making comments that would usually have gotten them removed from the board, and now they have followers that agree with they obvious hate for the president. There was a poll where at least 12, the last time I looked, people said they supported Rand Paul over the president!
Facts mean nothing to some here, and a number of people seem to think their lives are so important that the government it listening in and recording everything they say. It is like 2010, expect this time there seems to be more right wing, and Paul trolls coming and to keep things stirred up.
Sorry to rant, but somedays it's just to much to take in.
= new reply since forum marked as read
so I largely avoid it. Life's too short.
May be able to get away with that shite elsewhere but he wandered into the wrong BOG.

is a sign of desperation, knowing in their gut, that they are losing. And when bullyrethugneocons get desperate, they automatically, overreach. They can't help themselves. They did it with Benghazi, ending with egg on their face.
The same with the IRS. Issa won't release the transcripts, because he knows it will make him look like the -gdf- fool and slime that he is.
Now we have another misogynistic, ignorant comment made by "another legislator, that thinks they are our pastors or god", but wants small government.... Exhibiting again, that most of the teahadists are mindless morons. The only ones that aren't, are only in it for the power and money, being very savvy, immoral businessmen. Think Myth Romney...........
Much of this not escaping women with invasive procedures and denying contraception, minorities who have been and are getting the most incredibly sickening, disrespectful screw-over in the past few years by the right.
And those 90% pro - ID checks people.
There is so much more, but there are so many issues that would unite people to take action against congress and the senate, with marches or whatever. And to work hard for 2014, is vital! Then that will allow President Obama to be unhindered to put forth the best for us, that he sincerely wants.
When I see whats happening in my dear, adopted state of NC, it gives me hope.
I suspect that this summer's r'f'ck fest has largely to do with pressure on PBO to commit troops to Syria. UK has been champing at the bit basically since Libya fell and they are the grand masters of dirty tricks. Naturally that's where Greenwald is headquartered, at the Guardian of all things convenient to UK foreign policy including wikileaks. Not good. 
I simply don't understand why it is allowed to the extent that it is, as as for the posters themselves, I have to wonder at their motives. I feel that if I start using the Iggy button again I will only be sweeping the problem under my personal rug, and that it will only get worse without me realizing that the nature of the site may have changed permanently.
I feel like I'm about to be deleted for complaining (ooo, Meta), but like I said, this is really painful for someone who joined in 2002.
