Sarge, I, too, left this forum for awhile because I found myself becoming angry and responding angrily at what we allowed Progressives do to our nation. I certainly did not spend a carreer in the military to allow them to fundamentally change America in the perverse way they have. Having briefly returned to OPP, I find that, once again, I'm quickly losing any tolerance for "them" and intend to soon seek greener pasture. Someone will know where those more reasonable commentators abide.

Elie Weisel, holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner, well summed up my concern when he wrote: "A man comes to Sodom hoping to save the city. He pickets. What else can he do? He goes from street to street, from marketplace to marketplace, shouting,'Men and women, repent. What you are doing is wrong. It will k**l you, it will destroy you.' They laugh, but he goes on shouting, until one day a child stops him. 'Poor stranger, don't you see it is useless?' 'Yes,' the just man replies. 'Then why do you go on?' 'In the beginning' he says, 'I was convinced that I would change them. Now I go on shouting because I don't want them to change me.'"

God save us from resorting to extreme violence again.

Padre, although I had heard Mr. Weisel's story before, I was reminded once again of its relevance with your retelling of it. I suspect that many, if not most, of us on OPP have similar thoughts and fears. I thank you for reminding many of this eclectic group of individuals on the forum of our probable commonalities, in spite of the differences.

Like others, I've always felt compelled to follow Shakespeare's line of advice from Hamlet, "To thine own self be true."

I have no doubt that face to face the relationships of many of us holding strong differing beliefs would be tempered by our common humanity. I suspect much of the banter is simple a matter of letting off steam to an invisible person. Yet sinister forces really are working to bring all of us down. The end results will be that neither side will win if actual violence breaks out. But what do I know?

Your first two statements ring true to me, as I have had the pleasure of meeting, face-to-face, a sizeable number of OPP'ers in my travels from coast to coast. They represented every branch of political ideology exhibited on this forum, but mostly conservatives.

The following is a thread of mine from about three years ago. I have since made at least two other cross-country trips meeting other OPP'ers. But, this particular one will do for what I encountered on each journey. https://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-45333-1.html

Kavanaugh hearing is canceled..,, over and done..

Video from his speech at prep school, 2015..."What happens at Georgetown prep, stays at Georgetown prep"

along with associated banter was the end of it..


Ohh your hopes so high that he will be cast out..

It is proper for them to interview both people and decide from there... Reckless not to do so but its far from over.. They postponed it until next week and Grassley suggests last-minute Kavanaugh hearing could be canceled if accuser doesn’t accept invite...

Thats what is actually going on..

What a phenomenal post you made and the words spoken coming right from your heart I can feel it. It was also a bit disheartening to see the names of some people whom no longer attend. I miss them...

When something changes so much and you know longer feel comfortable it is time move on to something else. Unfortunately people don’t have the patience they once had or the level of respect for their fellow man that once existed. Doesn’t mean it has to be like that forever and hopefully we can get it back to where it should be where humanity rules and we help each other and we take care of each other and we relish in life it self.

Absolutely correct!

Our government works more at d******eness and obstruction andit is done intentionally to control us..

We know that, we see it daily and are filled with lies from both sides and our anger swells. What do we do about it, we follow like sheep right into the anger, h**e, and lack of human compassion. The need to be right seems greater than simply believing as you do and let others believe as they do...

Rather than Accommodate the leaders of criminal hill why don’t we simply refuse to do so??

Look how so much has changed in the last 10 years alone....

We should all be ashamed<~~Orrrrr we can light up~~~

Dr. Ford is a well respected tenured professor at Stanford, her reputation is well established. The Senate and American people deserve to her from her if she is willing to testify under oath and then make a determination of wether she or Kavanaugh is telling the t***h, and if the t***h should preclude his addition to the nations highest court.


Kavanaugh is a well respected and well established judge. What's your point?

And Kavanaugh’s credentials are without question, outstanding.

And allegations being made from a high school or college romp? Give me a break.

Whenever the dems are losing you can Pretty well guarantee some sort of sex scandals going to come up trying to knock the opponent out.. Truly pathetic.

What is more the case is the retaliatory action being taken over a case that Mr. Kavanaughs mother presided over involving Foreclosure of a property by her family members.. Revenge is not necessarily true! Its revenge for crying out loud. Good grief!!

Where is that side of your story??

TRUE STORY. But the "news" only report what their masters give them to report.

Great point, Lori!! The California college professor is a h**er (evidenced in her social media) and a far left activist (evidenced by her actions). Knowing the lengths this sort of person will go to to "resist" makes her story highly suspect. And if she refuses to show up to testify or tries to delay, it makes it completely bogus.

Dems have called for his beheading, to be knocked off”, to watch as his son is k**led..

Not funny that you don’t stand in opisition to those atrocities....

Maybe if we all stood for more of the good and concentrated on that we wouldn’t have what we presently have.... And All because we cowtail to the viciousness of either party!

This is also my opinion of Kev, thank you. This forum every day has become a platform for Trump h**ers. I have been trying to find a different forum that isn't so filled with h**e. I'm here for non-biased discussions of current topics. It seems that any time someone opens with a logical post, someone like Kev always jumps in. Completely destroying the whole thread. This forum has became nothing more than a place for people with h**e Trump Syndrome to echo each other while they cuddle their stuffed Obama dolls, crying themselves to sleep. With thumbs in mouth hoping Nanny Hillary will come save them. See, I can throw sh#t also.

AGREED and AMEN. Every time I hear a conservative on here talking about fighting fire with fire and retaliation I always tell them that the left is trying to INCITE this and not to succumb. Of course protect yourself and anyone unable to protect themself, but DON'T ENGAGE with the nonsense. Let them reveal themselves for all to see.
