Politically correct

[Herr Straße Laufer]

I agree with Earl. Though, I think KKR made a good point in the other thread, which Petri makes here, that "there are plenty of websites" to go and discuss politics.

But, it was a simple thread to wish Americans a "happy birthday"? It got locked up and that is a shame.
What I don't understand is that the discussion on the other thread became more a discussion of history than politics. Yes, some members gave their political views as well. But, nothing became nasty.

As far as my "leanings". I am an independent. I'm (about 75%) libertarian. I believe in the founding principles which made America great. We have our rights that are given by God and not by man.

A pox on both the Democrats and Republicans for where they have allowed "WE THE PEOPLE" to be subject to such a large government. A government that thinks it can simply spend the people's future, drive "US" (no periods, I meant us, the people) into the poor house through debt, and bring about the general decline of a once strong economic entity by printing money.

That's as political as I get.

But, I also see the club's side of the political discussion issue. If they say no, then we should follow what they want.

Their rules. We have an open and free club. I am happy for that.

Just my .02.

And, not once did I mention half tracks!
