My .02, as mostly a lurker...
A agree 100% with this statement. Some political views seem to be OK.
For an RF rookie, this list has some invaluable
technical content for me even though after a few
responses threads can go on a tangent. Signal to
noise can be rather low at times but I still find it valuable overall.
Tagging the subject with OT should be a managable
way to deal with non-technical content.

Chuck,
I know it is your list and your rules, but you
can't say crap like "The DC crap today does not
hold a candle in magnitude to the Portland and
Seattle crap largely done by the other
side. Give and take."  and not expect it to
start a political argument. I think you are
abundantly and dangerously wrong about that but
I'm (mostly) holding my tongue. We can't have
a list where one sided inflammatory BS like that
is allowed but countering it is not.  We
either allow political discussions, which I'm
fine with, or we make a no politics rule. The
latter seems to be the best option as there are
too many brilliant minds who we will lose if we keep it up. Â

No need to pollute our list here with that energy, from either side.Â

That's the real problem. I've come to the
conclusion that almost no so-called news having
anything to do with politics is honest or
reliable, no matter which side it comes from.
Almost all of it is slanted (if not outright
dishonest) to either fit their own view or
manipulate their consumers into supporting a
particular agenda. Unfortunately, there seems to
be very little that can be done to fix it.

" a nugget of truth with a layer of bullshit on

from every outlet on every station.  It is
even more the case when the source is a
politician or anyone with a political
agenda. This includes most of the people on
this list.  Very few on either side can
really provide an objective argument on politics
today. I'd include myself in that group
therefore I tend to just delete or not reply to
these group messages because it only furthers
the divide.  I honestly dont see any long
term solution to the divide we have today.Â
 Mainstream media isn't going to
help. Congress isn't going to help and Trump
isn't going to help. Neither is anyone's opinion on this list

Look at the evidence closely and in each case
you'll find a nugget of truth with a layer of
bullshit on top. That so many people are so
thoroughly fooled by it is the most distressing
part. Look closer. Stop being a fool.
The "coup" is when the loser thinks he can win by pretending hard enough.

Worse... if the 'election' is not transparent,
verifiable, and treats every voter the same, it's not an "election".
Worse ... if poll watchers are bullied and
physically threatened... that is intolerable.

Patton was correct, and so was that McCarthy
guy, who was probably a commie plant because he
did a great job discrediting 'his' message.
Â
All that is left is communism or war.  That
was the plan all along and only 'crazy'
people -- and people who escaped communist
societies to come warn us -- saw it or believed in it.
Â
I'll sign off with this, because this is probably The End:
Â
âIn my study of communist societies, I came to
the conclusion that the purpose of communist
propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not
to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the
less it corresponded to reality the better. When
people are forced to remain silent when they are
being told the most obvious lies, or even worse
when they are forced to repeat the lies
themselves, they lose once and for all their
sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies
is...in some small way to become evil oneself.
One's standing to resist anything is thus
eroded, and even destroyed. A society of
emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if
you examine political correctness, it has the
same effect and is intended to.â ~ Theodore Dalrymple
