My mistake Connie. I was sure that's where it was. What if you go to the Political Forum in the drop down box and join?

Thanks anyway Victoria. I've searched everywhere that I can find, but have not found the right place.

Connie...

User CP > Group Memberships (left hand column) then there should be a "Join Group" radio button to click on...

If you still have a problem, let me know and I'll sign you up on the back end...
 
Well, I'm surely stupid. First, I didn't even realize that one had to sign up for the political forum. I thought it was on my Ignore List. Secondly, I tried to sign up for following your instructions, Victoria, but I cannot see anything about Political Forum under Social Groups. :dunce

Connie - go to your User CP & scroll down on the left to " Networking". Under that heading is "group memberships". I think it should list groups you can join, including forums you can join. Mine lists the Political Masochists forum, and has an option to "leave" if I want to cancel the subscription .... if that's not right, I'm sure Ryan will chime in & let us know. I joined a while ago, and forgot how since all the upgrades & whatnot.


IMO, I believe it can get so personally insulting in there because there is perimssion given in the subheading of the forum.
No holds barred, anything goes political discussion. Free to say anything you like about politics, but don't anybody dare complain about hurt feelings.
It's pretty much why I stick to reading & rarely posting. But it is some good fun reading. ;)

Thanks Boss! I think I did it, but I'd appreciate your taking a look to make certain that I'm registered.

And thanks to you also, Tracy! We must have posted at the same time.
 
I must say that I am very proud of the way this thread played out. It could have gotten ugly, heated and just plain nasty, as political forums do and political talk in general...

You should all be very proud of the conduct and quality of chat that occured here...Kudos to all of you!!!!

and this is the VERY REASON this thread has not been moved....
 
Thanks Mark... where the heck is it anyway?

I was on my very best behavior!
 
You're all set... Enjoy.... and remember... it IS no holds barred!

Thanks for checking on it for me. Thanks for the warning also, and remember that I did teach in a very rough middle school until I retired. Believe me, in the political forum, I'll probably keep pretty quiet, as I'm sure I'll be out of my league.
 
Never mind the question has been answered. :)

This thread was titled "The Future of America" (as we know it)
Ladies & Gentlemen....
America has voted, a most impressive congratulations is in order, for the massive voter turnout, in one of the MOST exciting US presidential elections in US history, and the outcome IS, that IF you have a dream, it CAN be realized in America.
The "popular" vote, by percentage, was the closest EVER, just a hair over a million votes, and a point "spread" of 2 (49%-51%) indicates VERY clearly, that the US is in BIG trouble.
Though Obama, deservedly earned EVER accolade he was rewarded for, and the support of his radical plan of "change" was openly accepted by the huge power "shift" in congress, and the senate, he WILL make a VERY colourful President, he has the oratory skills that NOT seen in a LONGGG time, and he has a "plan"......so do "the CYLONS" (from Battlestar Galactica fiction).
OUR GREATEST HOPE is that Obama "moves" to the centre of his political stripe, from which he can unveil, and roll out HIS plan back to prosperity, for the citizens of the United States, and finally some respect from a world, that has turned it's back on the US!!
As it stands, and IF he does NOT "shift", the US is about to embark on a program of socialist style political intrusion, into taxpayers lives, that the US people have NEVER seen before, and for which they are ill prepared.
IF the program, that he's about to roll out, stays "true" to his promises, I WILL TELL YOU ALL RIGHT NOW, you NEED to spend some time in Canada, for conditioning and training, and preparation.
I am personally very uneasy, about the relationship, that the Dems "may" have with your nearest neighbour to the north, and have GREAT trials and tribulations with the radical alterations that the US is about to embark on......it WILL BE, just like leaving your homeland, for another, without "moving".....
To the great citizens of the US, for whom I have great admiration, and love, you wanted "change"...we "thought" we did too.
We NOW, in Canada, have Obama's direct family, living in the next town over from where WE are, and I CAN "imagine" Obama, Michelle, and their family, coming to visit...here in Canada, they are ALL welcome.
I hope all of you, in the US accept this "change", and unitedly, accept what needs to be done, to make Obama's dream, into YOUR dream.

Yes, the fall of America will begin....who wants to take a guess at what he will "take care of' first? Hmm...maybe the line God Bless America will be on the chopping block, also the military will surely be a target so most of us here are nervous for the next 4 years(we're tightening our belts) and let's see what else oh small business will be a target-anyone making a $150k, $200k or $250k-I guess whatever they fancy at the moment will be dinged!! Once it really does start happening you'll see the same cheering people scratch their heads and say "What? How did this happen?" and I'll tell them "Look in the mirror that's how!"

GOD BLESS AMERICA...we're gonna need it!
 
This WILL NOT, be the "downfall" of America".....
Within 10 years, the US, may just as well join Canada...the "idealisms" will mirror each other.
 
Yes, the fall of America will begin....
I hate to tell ya this, but that fall began a long time ago! It's the reason we're in the mess we are now...no morals, and a severe lack of leadership.

There never will be an "ideal" candidate, but I look for this version to unite not only America, but the world, and just maybe begin the rise out of the gutter WE have put ourselves into.

Yes, America will not be her own country anymore..we will slowly turn into "Citizens of the North American continent"...our money will seize to exist no more dollar it will be some other type of money...slowly it will errode. Sad to say but it will happen and it will happen in my children's lifetime...maybe mine depending on how long I live. I'm done......
 
Oh Aileen, what a disappointing post. You're far too young to wear such a jaded cloak. There will always be optimism, there has to be for otherwise why do we go on.

V....I'll just ignore that....do some research they're already trying to "unify" the countries...they've already designed the new money for when it comes to pass. I want to remain a United States of America citizen not a United North American citizen.
 
And I am a Canadian. The unifying of the countries has been a "hidden" agenda for some people for generations. I rather doubt either of us have anything to worry about.
