And Mafoo, I don't care about the Bush hate threads mainly because no one really cares about Bush. Your threads, on the other hand, are often nothing more than aggressive flamebait (time after time). You even said "welcome to the new dictatorship," and you're claiming that I'm the biased one?

Flame bait?
I never just post “Obama sucks” or rarely ever post an editorial of my own. I always post articles from either CNN or the NYT. I make sure none of my articles are from Fox News, or Huffington. I purposely only post news that's mainstream and fact based.
I think what Obama is going to do to the US over the next 4 years might be the worst thing we have seen in my lifetime. The times are are now going through, and the way Government is trying to solve it, is the most important issue in my life today. You think I should just sit back and say nothing because a lot of people like him?
As for you posting biased stuff, I don't mind anyone speaking there opinion, please continue. The only thing I would take issue with is if you found a thread not to your likeing, yet perfectly in line with site rules, and locked it. As long as your personal opinion does not effect how you moderate, say whatever you like :).

It's not the articles themselves, but your comments that would usually stir up anger from the posters. In case you couldn't tell, I'm no longer a moderator, but I still care about the quality of the site. And sometimes I go a little overboard in making sure that people don't get into huge arguments, flame each other, etc. Usually I ignored anti-Bush or anti-McCain threads more because the site has more liberal users and as such, there wouldn't be as many flame wars or insults thrown around. That said, some of the conservative users have been very aggressive in their opinions and it can't be justified.
Obama is making some crummy decisions, and I'll be watching his actions closely as well. I have no idea where you're getting some of your more exaggerated ideas, but most of them are sound.
