Deeee. Hypotheticals. like JB4Uk comes up with. Would you sponsor a Political thread get-together where we could urinate on cat pause democrats in 2016? We'll do republicans in 2020 (if needed)

All while our President apologizes to the world for our involvement.
Exactly. Thats a plot twist I didnt see coming either.
"Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, said today that President Obama “really ought to consider” returning his Nobel Peace Prize Medal immediately, including the “really nice” case it came in.
Jagland, flanked by the other four members of the Committee, said they’d never before asked for the return of a Peace Prize, “even from a damnable war-criminal like Kissinger"
Well that's an equal opportunity idea. I'll send it up the line and see if I can get it approved for you. Not sure how we go about implementing it but hey, let's worry about the details later.
Let me make this clear to you one more time. You will not be allowed to use these boards to make vile and profane attacks on other members, regardless of who they are. You received a warning and ignored it and continued. Now you come on here acting like you're an innocent victim soliciting sympathy.
I have no idea who deleted or edited your other posts. Other moderators are active on the Paddock. The boards are not to be used as a vehicle to launch criticism and attacks against the CI staff. I'm letting this post stay up but future such posts will be deleted. As I have told you previously you can contact any moderator if you have an issue by using the conversation tool.
The vast majority are not having a problem, it's only you and a couple of others who have created your own problems. If you're not happy with the way we run things here than you always have the option to move on.
I would support a carbon tax if they eliminated the income tax and kept it tax neutral (don't fight the hypothetical). I'd even take a consumption/VAT tax over the income tax. A carbon tax can smartly be done.... but not without a constitutional amendment and a repeal of the income tax amendment. But tax neutral? I'd support a carbon or consumption tax over an income tax every time.
Mouse over the little envelop icon in the upper right hand corner.
Click on the link "start a conversation"
Then type in the screen name(s) of the members you want to talk to in the block that says "participants". If you only want to talk to only one member type in their screen name.
Your conversation is private in that the text can only be viewed by those that you list as "participants" You can add more members after the conversation is started. The member(s) you want to speak with will get an alert.
Tax neutral? Dude. They want new money. His 2016 budget proposal had 23 new tax revenue suggestions with zero offsets.
The poor pay no income tax so that could not be neutralized by a carbon or consumption tax.
I favor a small national sales tax, including internet sales taxes and a reduction of the payroll tax. VAT is a trojan horse.

Try rolling over your screen name in the upper right corner. A pop up should appear with several links. Click on the one that says Conversations. It will list any previous conversations and an option to start a new conversation. If that doesn't work you can report it or let me know and I will.
Don't fight the hypothetical. A carbon tax is simply a consumption tax similar to a VAT or sales tax. When I said neutral I meant the totality of the program (total cost to taxpayers), although individuals should probably have a similar total tax bill to start. Pre-bates and other measures are available to make it neutral for individuals, and we could even have a discussion about whether it should be neutral on an individual basis. And a VAT is functionally a sales tax - the consumer pays both at the end of the day. They're both consumption taxes.
But no one can discuss anything, apparently, because once the Greeks (allegedly) invaded a city in a wooden horse... ffs
Seriously? Is this forum going to become like TarHeel Radar? Ran like a Dictator, or the gestapo? That is the ONE thing our forum had that no other had, freedom to express differences. I have been called numerous names over the years, and never once felt the need to cry to a MOD about it. Now, I have no idea what problems other posters are having, but I hate to see this board, sunk to the level of the UL, or UNC boards. Do with this post,what you will.
KyFanninNC - asking members to be civil does not equate to gestapo. Being tolerate of a personal attack or insult without responding is admirable, but doesn't make the attack OK. Folks shy away from posting on a board with vitriol and rightfully so. You're freedom to express your thoughts, ideas and opinions on politics, current events etc. are there for you just as they have always been.
The reason VATs are seen more that way is that they are mostly invisible (by design) to the end payer and thus more likely to be raised on a whim (frog, boiling water, atkot). Consumption taxes are very clear.
Zapping stuff that is allowed on other parts of the board can't be spun by someone that called another poster dishonest and illiterate just a couple of weeks ago.

“For the first time, I think the Trump phenomenon is becoming real. I do not think the media or the party establishment have a real grasp on how deep the anger and frustration is around the country. After what have been ‘missteps’ by Trump in comparison of previous elections, he seems to have only strengthened. I still do not know if he can sustain it into the New Year — but after the Paris attacks, his stance on illegal immigration and unverified people coming into our nation has real impact.”

Trump only says what many in this country feel, and the PC crowd, Liberal media, republican liberals, can't do a damn thing about it. Nothing sticks to Trump as of now. I love that someone gets to say what the country feels and can not be smeared or made to apologize for it. That said, Trump is not Presidential material, and will not get my vote. If it is between him and Bold Face Liar, I will sit this one out, and start making plans to move to the Philippines.
So let me get this straight. We can't attack anyone or call them names. That is bad. That is not how things are run around here. With the one exception being that we are allowed to call someone an "idiot".
Is this correct? Or is that a privilege reserved for mods? Just trying to figure out how things are run around here so as not to get in trouble.
TIA

Why should the moderation be any different than the outside world? If you agree with the liberal rhetoric and agenda, you can say whatever you want. If you disagree, watch your back because you will be destroyed.
Sounds like how everything else is ran. It's fair.

Bernie and Obama and Hillary are the people we should all aspire to be like, they are heroes, incredible people that will lead our country down the roads we should have been on all along. The ideologies that come from people that oppose the agenda of these brilliant role models are a disgrace to all of humanity.
Whoa. Wait.. Uhh.. Well I know on crack, yeah smoke crack that's right ha ha ha ha crack hheeee hee crack hee hee
