Okay, Ill admit it: Im a Conservative living in one of the most Liberal areas of the country. I live out here on the West Coast. The only other places out here that are more Liberal than where I am are San Fran and Berkeley, so, if you know political demographics at all, you should be able to narrow it down and get a pretty good idea of where I am.

That being said, I have never been as disgusted with an election as I have been with this one! For the past couple of years, I have been doing intellectual and political battle as a Conservative on craigslist in their Rants and Raves and Politics sections in this overwhelmingly Liberal city of mine. You would think I was the second coming of Hitler himself for all the names Ive been called and for all the attempted insults that have been hurled my way just because I have a differing opinion than the majority of the people that live here.

As the last and final straw recently, and, as the ultimate demonstration of tolerance and censorship by my Liberal and Progressive political opponents, I have been banned from being able to post in any city and in any section on craigslist! I guess my posts got flagged enough times that the powers-that-be @ craigslist labeled me a trouble maker, an undesirable and someone whos downright dangerous, thus blocking my IP address so I can no longer post. I did not violate any of craigslists TOU (Terms of Use).  All I did was discuss and offer counterpoints to posts I felt needed responding to! I had to laugh because each time one of my posts would get flagged, Id receive an email notification stating that my post had been removed by the craigslist community. In the notification, theyd smugly tell me that their research shows that 98% of all posts that get flagged deserve to be flagged and that if I felt I was one of the remaining 2 % who was flagged in error, I could take it to the help forum. What a joke and total waste of time that was!  

I am convinced that places like craigslist as well as other blog sites, have been and are regularly and vigorously patrolled by Democrat (Obama) tools whose sole purpose is to get rid of any and all opinions and views that dont meet with their approval or dont agree with them. Using proxy websites, a very few people are able to flag posts they dont like or agree with. This way, theyre assured that only their message is heard and only their candidate is portrayed in the most favorable light possible, all while trashing their opposition with near impunity in any fashion they like.  These tools want their candidate elected soooooo badly, theyll stop at NOTHING to help it along, even if it involves lying, cheating and censoring any and all opposing points of view. How is that fair?  How is this leveling the playing field, as Liberals are so fond of saying? How come they dont give a damn that IM disenfranchised?

Just this past weekend, it was revealed by one of the local TV stations, that our local alternative newspaper published pictures of homeowners front yards, those homeowners with Republican candidates signs, as well as publishing the addresses of those homes! They called their article, Hell Houses. Despite many disgusted responses from featured homeowners as well as many emails from other offended locals, the paper had a totally blasé attitude about their story, only removing the addresses from their website, but it was too late for all the papers that got printed and were out and about in circulation. Their excuse was that it was a Halloween spoof! Had this been a Conservative newspaper (is there such a thing?) whod done the same thing, thered be outcries from the local media and calls for someones head as well as all the usual name-calling and labels Liberals like to use. 

Ive always had my own personal reasons for voting the way I do and for believing in the things I do. This year, this Election cycle, I have even more reason to stick to my convictions because of all the dirty politics Ive been personally subjected to and for the way I was deliberately silenced and censored by self-appointed craigslist police. This is why I so vigorously oppose the so-called Fairness Doctrine, which is nothing more than window dressing to silence and to get rid of all dissenting opinions to the official Democrat Party line. They have an all-too-willing and sympathetic ally and propaganda machine called the Mainstream Media. Theyll call differing opinions hate speech, racism or any of a number of other labels they choose to use to justify silencing and censoring opposing points of view.  These are the same people who are absolutely petrified by the Patriot Act and FISA but have no problem at all silencing their political opposition, just so that they can win by any and all means possible! 

Theres something seriously wrong when polls become the story rather than act as a reflection of it, the Mainstream Media is so blatantly one-sided in support of any one particular candidate and the people are too lazy, unintelligent or uncaring to not realize it and see it for what it is. I have long-since learned that Liberals and Progressives are only tolerant and will only support diversity just so long as its within the framework and guidelines they approve of.
