Other Saints web sites lack personality

Some of my best friends are right-wingy--- Some of my best friends are left---wingy. Some of them prefer Fox. Some prefer NPR. None of them are stupid or evil.

Its not as much any partisan slant that makes The Bathhouse nasty. Its their inability to share their ideas without turning into Linda Blair and having head -spinning- vomiting- pea -soup fits. They fear ideas.

I have no interest in trying to change what you believe. I'd rather talk
about what unites us.

If you are not a partisan Republican who thinks Faux News is the gospel and all others are evil, you will not be united over there. LOL. Different opinons are wonderful. I learn something everyday in my interactions will a wide variety of people. But, it doesn't happen there for 80 percent of the posters. It's their way, period, not even worth discussing, and anyone who questions their ideals are Un-American, non-supporters of the troops who should move elsewhere. LOL. Just my opinion.

What site? I've been looking for one like that!

You have to be intelligent to watch FoxNews. The hard news people on FoxNews are fair and balanced, the Conservative talking heads slant toward the Conservative POV, the Liberal talking heads slant toward the Liberal POV. If you can't sort it out, come to me, and I'll give you the real truth.

Now there's an interesting concept .... can this possibly teach the senate and house members anything?

...and here we go turning into the great divide, which is exactly what happened at Site-X. Left vs. Right, and you've never met most of these
guys in person. So you dont know what good people they really are. You just looked at one fraction of their personality, and conclude that they are this or that. So they believe a few dumb things? My mother believes some dumb things. I love her anyway. SapperSaint had a great
blog post entitled "The Saints Not Politics is Our Common Ground." I hope that post gets restored here. It was that post that made up my mind that B&G was the site for me.

This is not a demand, just a wish. I wish we could leave our politics out of this and just think of each other as fans. To quote myself again:
