Introductions

[Rat]

Welcome to all the new members.....with some of us staying behind and unable to post as we once did, new faces and original thought is always welcomed.....unless you're a die-hard, by-the-alinsky-book lilly-liverd liberal.

I no mind thought and opinions of people I disagree. I prefer debate with them instead of ones who think like me. This is a place of debate so more opposing views the better.

I trust I am doing this right....

Have been on the boards about a decade, a retired political journalist in Canada, I just can't seem to get it out of my system. My political leanings are to the left, I am a Canadian Liberal which is not to say I have a whole lot in common with my American counterparts.

For the record I am a dual citizen, born in Canada of American parents and was raised and educated south of that arbitrary line in the sand called the 49th parallel.

I am surprised, at first rush, that I know no one here, which is kind of refreshing since I am bored with the same old arguments. I love a good expanding debate, free of personal insults and attacks and especially enjoy those moments when a fellow poster irritates me enough that I finally realize he is right and I am wrong.

In other forums I have made good friends on both sides of the aisle, and I hope that might be possible here.

Welcome to DP!

I hope you've been around long enough to know the MO of boards. Please give it a tad of time until you know the layout and folks. Don't think we're all bad folks if you have a bad outing on your first debate. We have insults of course from time to time, but then things lighten up. We have great debates, and then some suck. But all good folks in here.

Thanks, I lurked for a few days, and am still figuring out where everything is.

From what I have seen, it is rather respectful, I have seen no one call anyone a "Nazi freak".

That's a special term reserved for moderators should we ever ban anyone. We haven't had to in eons though, luckily.

Hola Fearndloathing. Nice have you hear.

Oh, that's what you say now....!

We love everyone, until they have a differing opinion. Then we find out where folks live and eat their babies.

Liberal babies are the most tender too, kind of like veal because they are wimpy lay-abouts.

Kinda like little chicken nuggets if you ask me. Fatty and really no substance in there.

I kid, I kid, this is the intro thread! We really won't eat babies. That would be totally wrong. Jeez. But we may just kill you, or feed you to a middle eastern neighborhood under ISIS control.
