Members - I respect everyones political views and I feel privelaged that those who post on these topics see DRR as an outlet to voice those views.

With everything that is going on with our government right now, good or bad it has saturated this part of the forum and pushed out other items that should be posted here.

With that said, please continue to post and keep your political views in this section. The header will eventually change and a new section for Not Necessarily Racing NEWS will be created and items that "don't" have a political view moved to that thread.

Thank you!
Scott Lemen

Kidding, guy. I agree at times we get a little crazy in here..

Dave

Who is political?

Scott, you the man..Where is Dynamite..Hugs her for me..

You are precious, Racer.

To me if you want to post political comments, go to a political forum. The kind of BS that is posted here serves no useful purpose. It is not political discussion, but hate speech and narrow mindedness. That is why I have not posted on this board for quite a while. I like to discuss ideas and philosopies, not read politcal narrow minded hate speech and insults!

Not exactly shocking news for those exposed to them for years, but the respected Pew Research Center has determined that political liberals are far less tolerant of opposing views than regular Americans.

In a new study, the Pew Center for the Internet and American Life Project confirmed what most intelligent Americans had long sensed. That is, whenever they are challenged or confronted on the hollow falsity of their orthodoxy -- such as, say, uniting diverse Americans -- liberals tend to respond defensively with anger, even trying to shut off or silence critics. (i.e. photo above of President Obama reacting to Boston hecklers.)

The new research found that instead of engaging in civil discourse or debate, fully 16% of liberals admitted to blocking, unfriending or overtly hiding someone on a social networking site because that person expressed views they disagreed with. That's double the percentage of conservatives and more than twice the percentage of political moderates who behaved like that.

The proportion jumps even higher when someone on a social site disagrees with a liberal's post.

Only 1% of moderates would block or shut out someone who dared to disagree with them, compared to 11% of liberals, whose rate was nearly three times that of conservatives.

The same 11% of liberals would block or unfriend people who offended them by daring to argue about political issues, vs 6% and 7% for other political views.

Liberals (14%) even blocked or shut out those they deemed posted too frequently on politics, vs 8% and 9% for moderates and conservatives, respectively.

Of those who dropped or shunned someone over political disagreements, Pew asked a follow-up question:

-- 21% of them blocked, unfriended or hid a coworker,

-- 31% blocked, unfriended or hid a (formerly) close personal friend,

-- and 18% blocked, unfriended or hid an actual family member.

Bottomline, this study is obviously racist.

You pinko fag.
