      There’s a little bit of fun in watching college “safe spacism” get to the newsroom, but honestly it’s a lot chilling.  Awful trend.

      At some point – soon, I believe- adults will say enough is enough.  It will not be pretty, but the pendulum will begin it’s move in the opposite direction.

      I am saddened by the CBS censorship that prompted my decision to leave the Bootleg and triggered its demise as a free site.  Many of us supported it for two decades.  Calling out the Black Lives Matter movement for its destruction of businesses, personal property and injuring people was too much for the PC police of CBS.  Possibly RJ was caught between a rock and a hard place.  (no pun intended)  Hopefully, we will attract enough good folk on this site of all political persuasions to have meaningful discourse.

      Don’t worry Rocky,  we will probably tell you to shut up at some point on this site, too.

      who do we need to recruit for a well rounded discussion?

      gpn

      mick

      who else?

      we need some lefty thinkers?  Where’s Dennis these days?

      [quote quote=377]Mugsy yes, Dennis no.[/quote]

      couldnt find muggs on the t done carcass.  How long since he showed up there?   If you have the ability, shoot him a pm on there and inform him of this site.  Arguing with apes is good sport.

      There is no content to this post. I am simply trying out formatting options – <i>italics, </i><b>bold</b>, and so on.

      Apparently, you just copy and paste links.

      Can you post an image? Apparently.

      I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

      Hmm. Formatting bar did not appear in first reply.
