Is it just me? [View all]

The last week or so I have seen some really "insane" comments being made. One poster said president Obama was a colossal failure. Some have compared him to Nixon, Reagan and W. I just read a thread today where a poster made the comment that another 9/11 would be better than the NSA "spying" on everyone and others supported the comment. I mean 3,000 senseless deaths is OK with people?

It seems like insanity has taken over the boards. I see new posters making comments that would usually have gotten them removed from the board, and now they have followers that agree with they obvious hate for the president. There was a poll where at least 12, the last time I looked, people said they supported Rand Paul over the president!

Facts mean nothing to some here, and a number of people seem to think their lives are so important that the government it listening in and recording everything they say. It is like 2010, expect this time there seems to be more right wing, and Paul trolls coming and to keep things stirred up.

Sorry to rant, but somedays it's just to much to take in.
