ALERTER'S COMMENTS

If this isn't flame-baiting, I don't know what is.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Sep 23, 2014, 09:25 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Truth is hardly flame baiting.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation:

Facts are facts.

Dispute him if you can.

Leave it.

Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Yes it is flame bate but two other important items are going on here too. First: The OP is true and the American citizenry should be having an honest conversation on this truth. Agree or disagree with our POTUS'S actions and why do we have such a position? Is our POTUS being hypocritical to the Nobel Prize he received for his efforts in the reduction of nuclear weapon stockpiles WHY or WHY NOT? We SHOULD be having this conversation here in DU, not squelching it on a sole 'merit' of it's being flamebait. Secondly many of us come to DU to gain an enlightenment that is impossible to get through the MSM. When a propagandized 'freeper' 'attacks' me and my support for our POTUS, when a family member asks me my thoughts I want to be able to respond with solid well considered facts and reasoning germane to the topic. WHERE ELSE should I seek such enlightenment? Leave this post unhidden! Give me and those like me seeking the collective wisdoms contained here at DU a chance at this enlightenment. Thank You DU, and thank you very much for what you do for us.
