I have recently been contacted by several folks here on the fourm, asking if I am OK, wondering why I am absent from the discussions...
Back in May, in the thread titled "Over 92 million Americans out of work", Keith entered into a discussion I was having with Pete and Al about how the number of US Govenment workers has actually declined since Reagan, even while the population grows. I added that most of the decline was military.
Keith then made the rediculous statement that the military should not be counted as Gov employees as they do not represent the true size of Govenment "PERIOD"!
I answered back with a little sarcasm...
Keith,, of course you are right, we should not count the military as Govenment because it does not represent the true size of Government PERIOD.
Of course we will now remove the COST of the military from the Federal budget at it does not represent the true COST of Government PERIOD?
I went on......
This is a great day for America, President Obama has just cut the cost of Govenment by over 50%! Now even the Tea Party should support the President!
Al then asked.....?????
So I posted the definition of "sarcasm"
Keith, who spends much of his time attacking those in a position of power and responsibility who misuse that power......
Keith then censored my post!
Now I have been called everything from a Commi/Socialist/Nazi to a F**king A**hole, Keith says nothing.
Yet I post a clever retort pointing out his own rediculous statement and he removes my post!
Now I love a good debate and I often represent the minority view. I have no problem with five or even ten to one odds, but when the person given power to controll posts censors the minority view.....
When the person with the power censors a post pointing out his own rediculous statemtent........
You know the old line...
Power corrupts, well this is a good example. It only took a few weeks before Keith, started acting like a North Korean dictator...
This was back in May...
I did not make a big deal about this, as in reality no one would take my side. Folks who think voter supression and gerrymandering are fair ways to win, will have no problm with cenoring the minority view.
Well I have a BIG problem, the 1st Amendmnt was put in place largly to protect the minority view.
To Jeff, Nick, Veek (who acually called to see if I'm OK) and the others, thanks for your concern, it means alot to me. I'm just fine, still pissed off, but just fine!
But I must stand on principle.
****You can't have a debate when one side censors the other****
First they came for the sarcasm...
