one of those groups. Hence the poor welcome. Hang out a bit, read and comment, as we are a big group though not tolerant of disruptors and sometimes too quick to call that. Expect to be challenged on statements and statistics, expect to be asked to provide them to back up what you say, especially about emotional topics.

At the top of each forum's main page is a button with a big blue I "about this forum" which gives information about the forum, statement of purpose. Each forum and group is different, some more open than others, some safe havens and more closed.

Welcome, and tell us more about you and your politics. You don't lean towards any party affiliation, who are you leaning towards supporting for various races?
