We have a message forum for our neighborhood homeowners association, which is usually fairly informative of events going on in the area; but sometimes, like all message boards, heated discussions take place and people get all riled up.
So when I posted a reply to a comment the other day and typed the name “Sara Palin” as part of my response, and when it came back as a CENSORED post, I was a bit concerned. (not because I had something important to say, but more because I really don’t like Nazis)
Then today my wife forwards me the post below before the forum moderator deleted it. I started reading it and thought that the posted was a complete jerk at first, then I found myself agreeing with just about everything he said. After reading it a second time, I decided that I was actually on his side with his statements and furthermore I am even more convinced that the forum moderator on this site doesn’t really have a job and simply spends all his time trying to make this message board his own little Third Reich.
Of course the post was deleted from the message board almost immediately. But… I am going to let it live on here on MY site…well, because I can, that’s why…
(I should note that I do NOT agree with the rant about Palin… but I do think that whoever wants to talk about her should have the free will to do so…)

Subject: Palin is horrible – and goodbye Glade Crossing
Message:
Don’t ask me why I never took the trouble to figure out how to end the constant emails I receive every day from this website, maybe it’s just been too amusing to me to watch as I see the old ‘hood degrade before my very eye’s after leaving two years ago. I know a lot of people think it is great because you can sell your crappy lawn mower or your worn out set of golf clubs to your unsuspecting neighbors. For them I offer the chance to join the century with the url “craigslist.com”. But, it’s really beginning to get on my nerves the number of times I get absolutely useless and nonsensical gibberish people post on whatever is on their mind. I mean, like the people who were after the snowman killers. Do you really have a life, or what? Or how about the people who had flies in their house “For the past week or two my family has seen at least 2 to 6 flies every day in our home. We kill them with a fly swatter pretty easily.”. Wow, thanks for the tip.
So, in an attempt to finally end the madness and rid my email inbox of the ridiculous trash I receive from this censured website, I thought I would try and piss off the moderator enough so that he removes me from it forever, so I don’t have to go through the trouble of having to figure out how to “unsubscribe” myself. Since I know how much he likes when we post opinion here, especially when he endorses candidates freely here himself, I offer the following, hopefully inflammatory editorial from Roger Hobaugh, to get the ball rolling again. Hasta la Vista, Glade Crossing!
“There may be no better word to describe John [censored]’s vice presidential pick than “ridiculous.”
After months of criticizing Sen. [censored] for his inexperience with foreign policy, [censored] has chosen quite possibly the least experienced woman in politics to serve as his second-in-command. How little experience does [censored] have, you ask? She was a part-time mayor of a tiny Alaska town and then governor of one of the least populous states in the union for less than two years. [censored] has never met with any foreign leaders of any kind—in fact, she only applied for a U.S. passport last year!
In this time of in ternational turmoil, how could [censored], a man who would become the oldest candidate ever elected, select a novice like [censored] knowing she would be one heartbeat away from having to step into the presidency and protect our nation? The mere notion that [censored] is even remotely equipped to manage the ongoing war on terror is an out-and-out fantasy dreamt up by the [censored] party to disguise why they really selected her: to attract female and evangelical voters in a desperate attempt to win the election at any cost—even if it means sacrificing our nation’s security.
[censored] has chosen for his running mate a woman who is so set in the past that she supports abstinence-only education despite its failure among her own children; a woman who claims she is not convinced that global warming is a serious issue. [censored] has time and again supported needless and ecologically destructive drilling in Alaska’s wildlife reserves—drilling that [censored] himself is arden tly opposed to—yet offers no plan for the very real and proven threat of climate change, despite the danger it poses to her home state.
Perhaps the most frightening prospect of putting [censored] in the White House is her continued support of the failing war in Iraq—a war she called “a task that is from God.” Electing Sarah [censored] and John [censored] in November will no doubt prolong this costly and unwinnable conflict, which every day claims the lives of more American troops and sinks our country further into debt.
[censored] is not a bold new choice for America. I have no doubt she will provide the same type of irresponsible and flat-out dangerous leadership we’ve seen from President Bush for the past eight years. That is, if she provides any leadership at all” “
