Dear Grumpy. I for one find it odd that you even know what Glenn Beck says, or you a closet listener? I also find it odd that the only way you view are two term President is that he is black, and to refer to him as a janitor cleaning up a white mans mess may border on racist. I also find it odd that you could have moved right past this post and went on to something that does not cause your gears to grind so hard. I myself enjoy that this group of folks can be who they are and not be to afraid to share their thoughts without having their person attacked for it!  For as a man sows so shall he reap.

You were much more polite than I may have been but I'm with you. I'm not obsessed with Barrys skin color, it's his Marxism that bothers me. There are plenty of non-white, non-marxist candidates whom I would not only donate money to their campaigns but also I'd volunteer to work for them. If all Grumpy knows about Agenda 21 is that Beck wrote a book about it then he should Google more. I'm one of the people who was sending Beck links to info on Agenda 21 long before a book was written.

"Know your enemy" Sun TzuI wouldn't waste a moment of my time actually watching the dreck that is Glenn Beck. But I do keep up with the Right Wingnuts as they are what is wrong with our country. The ignorant wing of either party should be watched(I don't like Dennis Kusinich any better than GB).I also find it odd that the only way you view are two term President is that he is black, and to refer to him as a janitor cleaning up a white mans mess may border on racist.[/font][/size]

[size=78%]That is how the Right Wing treats our President. They made the mess, left the economy in the tank and then have the gall to complain that he isn't cleaning up the mess they made fast enough.[/size]

[size=78%]Why? I'm not an [/size]ideologue.[size=78%]  Ideology is the study and practice of idiocy. And Glenn Beck and Fox news is idiocy and nothing but Right Wing propaganda destroying our politics. You would get exactly the same reaction from me if you started quoting Marx and spewing Communist propaganda as fact, for the same reason. Both would be appropriate on a political forum, not here.[/size]

[size=78%]Spew ideological non-sense and lies and you can expect to be corrected in your behavior. I talk to anyone who actually takes responsibility for what they say. Those that speak irresponsibly can expect a reaction. Keep such idiocy to yourself or on appropriate fora. If this forum turns into Redneck, Right Wing non-sense you have killed it completely. The same would be true if you were preaching communism. Why do Right Wingers feel empowered to inject their idiocy in a car forum when you wouldn't allow Left Wing idiocy a pass? If you sow stupidity you reap a stupid country and society. I will not quietly accept such behavior at all, from either side of the political spectrum.

I have & always do even though I was called a racist amongst other things. I get a kick out of those who haven't dated outside their race making declarations about those who have. It really is hilarious  ;)

lol funny how the identification of a smog pump devolved into a discussion of modern politics. I for one am for this site being about the Pintos, of the Pintos and for the Pintos (Bobcats too) and I'm sure a political thread could be started in the Off Topic section. I don't like getting verbally attacked because of my point of view. I doubt other people are keen on it either. I hope I'm not being scoldy 'cause I don't mean to be.  :)
One can never have too many Pintos!

Okay guys, we've had point and counterpoint.  I let this ride initially because I believe in the concept of free speech, but I think we've had quite enough politics for now... let's drop it and get back to talking about our Pintos.  As for the rest of it, just agree to disagree.  Fair enough?

That was MY point. Pinto5.0 can take his political garbage elsewhere. If he hadn't posted such crap in an inappropriate forum I would have never called him down for doing it and this conversation would have never come up. See how that works?


I threw my Right Wing nutjob uncle out of my house on Thanksgiving several decades ago, just before I threw his communist son(a Left Wing nutjob)out with him FOR THE SAME REASON. Neither is welcome in my house anymore. Was I at fault for expelling disruptive and contentious behavior from an inappropriate venue? No. And I am not wrong here either.

I have & always do


So explain how Agenda 21 has anything at all to do with someone asking about a smog pump? The answer(It doesn't)puts the lie to the above claim. You started this by injecting your toxic spew where it did not belong. You've evidently had this problem before but you just can't help yourself. Keep your politics out of forums not about politics, like this one. Red State will welcome you with open arms, but here it is offensive non-sense and I, for one, am sick and tired of it. You will get that same correction in your behavior every time I see it. Best for all if it doesn't happen again. Your choice.

[size=78%]Couldn't agree more. But these guys will continue to think they have a right to inject their politics anywhere until the rest of us start calling them on it. That is what I did. I did not start this, but I will damn well see an end to it, one way or another. If this forum devolves into a political cesspool it will be because we said nothing to stop it. If they don't like people talking back in the face of their inappropriate non-sense, then they can stop posting it and talk only about Pintos. It may seem harsh, but it is what is required to preserve this forum for it's intended purpose. I won't hide behind a moderator, nor will I hide what I have to say in a PM. It was a public offense calling for a public rebuke.[/size]

OK, I have said what I think needed said. I would not have brought the subject up at all if others had not. And I found the original political post highly offensive. Let's hope ALL get the message clearly and no more offensive posts appear. Peace.

Unfortunitely a huge part of our hobby is intertwined with politics. Emissions, fines, the high price of gas, clunker laws, bailouts, inspections, you name it, all have a political party trying to savage our hobby.
 
Ethanol blending is political, battery disposal, getting rid of old tires....all political issues. It's an unfortunite fact of our lives that we are fighting a losing battle to keep what's ours.
