    New to this forum. Being a very old democrat, I am rather set in my ways. I do not gladly or in any other way entertain fools. Neither do I engage with or respond to ad hominums. If you talk past me instead of to me, you have lost me. If you veer wildly off topic, I am gone. In the real world their are conservatives and liberals. Please keep in mind that there is much, much more that unites us then divides us and keep it civil. Does any of this sound unreasonable?

    Yes, that is a very closed minded attitude and I doubt it will do anything to unite anyone, you have made up your mind of what is correct or not, that only promotes division, having a take it my way of hit the highway is no way to promote unity.

    Unity requires an open mind and being willing to accept that some of you ideas may not be correct.

    Civility is to much to ask for?

    Welcome. I'm sort of an 'on again-off again' member. I try to keep my infraction points to a minimum but it's difficult to do here with so many like-minded-trumpers.

    I'm looking forward to your political opinions. Good luck.

    Glad to have you with us. I agree that we have much more in common that we realize. Civility allows us to to share ideas. Incivility and name-calling divide us.

    Maybe if you did a little name calling you might get more respect.

    Yeah, I did call someone on another site (maybe here?) "ignorant" and "childish" and what it got me was 8 points just recently. :censored:

    Left the word "less" out of that reply.
